What kind of mood is it to be always on the road? Thoughts are free and the mood is relaxed. It seems that there is always a thread pulling, always in a safe zone that belongs to oneself. What kind of mood is it to be always on the road and singing? At the beginning of the annual tour, Fengzi starts to think about the meaning of this thing. Is he still staying in that so-called safe zone? What exactly is that safe zone?
01. You Said You Just Fell in Love with the Sea Breeze That Night Not long ago, Fengzi officially released his new single ‘Bride’ which was completed early. The melody is clear, pure folk music. The strong sincerity in the story has become a foil for idealism. He is a creator who is good at and used to expressing in music. He labels himself as ‘wandering’. In fact, it is just because of his freedom and cheerfulness like the wind. Every year, Fengzi will set off. The determination at the start is always due to creation. It may be to reach other fields outside the living scene, or it may be to collect some inspiration fragments for writing songs and creating. Singing while walking and looking can always keep his music fresh and complete a vivid and lively presentation. In 2024, he continues to bring this freedom unique to Fengzi and is ready to set off and sing in various places. Thus, Fengzi’s once-in-a-year tour this year is officially announced today. Swaying the sails, on the wandering sea surface, chasing new light spots. The theme of this tour is ‘You Said You Just Fell in Love with the Sea Breeze That Night’. In the plan, the tour schedule will span most of the winter. It starts in Harbin in early winter in mid-October and is planned to end in Kunming where it is like spring all year round. Running through October, November, and December, Fengzi expects to start from cities in the three northeastern provinces in the north, go all the way south and then southwest along the map. With his music, he will complete a once-in-a-year meeting with fans in different cities. 02. In Search of Meaning At the beginning of the annual tour, Fengzi starts to think about what exactly his insistence on touring means? The question keeps circling and he thinks about it repeatedly. ‘Until one day, I was taking a walk in the forest alone and suddenly thought of Francisco, the troubadour in the book One Hundred Years of Solitude. He is a nearly two-hundred-year-old entertainer who often comes to Macondo to perform his self-composed ballads. In these ballads, he adds his feelings along the way. The sights and sounds of various places on his journey are compiled into melodies by him. In this way, he tells from Macondo all the way to the border of the great swamp area without stopping.’ Fengzi feels that, like Francisco, this may also be the meaning of his insistence on touring. Go to various places and meet friends. Some are new friends, and some are old friends who have been listening to him sing for many years.They stand under the stage, sincere and enthusiastic, waiting to hear Fengzi sing. In the days when they haven’t met, his journey and his new stories continue. Speaking of this, it seems that the most initial question has also found the most suitable answer. ‘Always on the road, singing songs, always in a self-secure zone. What is this secure zone?’ When the lights dim and the music begins, when Fengzi holds a guitar or stands in front of a standing microphone and starts singing, the gazes of the audience under the stage have already constructed a beautiful highlight for him. And this area of light is his secure zone. In 2024, Fengzi’s tour – ‘You Said You Just Fell in Love with the Sea Breeze That Night’ is about to begin. The new story belonging to Fengzi is also continuing. He is producing his brand new album and has completed half of it. The theme name of this tour is also from a song in the upcoming new album. You can look forward to it. In addition, Fengzi is still writing his new stories in life, including invisible old singers, field trips at three in the morning, Nepalese villages under snow-capped mountains, etc. These are all moved into his creations and become materials and create melodies. In music, he doesn’t stop; outside of music, he also continues to wander with songs and sets off at any time. Fengzi knows that the state he truly wants to achieve is ‘sing freely’. The full text is open on Saturday, December 7. The performance start time is 20:00. The specific performance duration is subject to the site.
