"Music, music is a special kind of sound. What you like is music; What I don't like is noise. The sound of piling is noise to us and music to the contractor. Boom, 50 bucks; Boom, 100 yuan ... "

There is no computer, no washing machine or even mineral water. The 64-year-old Wenchi sits on a cane chair and enjoys the coolness brought by air conditioning. She says that she is "a different Dongguan". There are all kinds of potted plants on the windowsill at home. Wenchi likes a pot of rich bamboo indoors because it is not straight, but curved. Wen Chi said that everything is "sui generis". On August 10, this strange old man will go to Beijing Laoshe Teahouse to play Gao Hu for the Beijing Olympic Games.

"Technology is a disaster for mankind"

At ten o'clock every morning, Wenchi goes to the studio of Guancheng Garden New Village as usual. Wenchi is tall, wearing big white-rimmed glasses and his beard is a little gray and messy. Wen Chi said, I am a different kind of Dongguan people. "I went to the vegetable market to buy food. People thought I was a northerner and asked me in Mandarin,' Sir, what can I buy? I replied to him in vernacular: "Are you good at Mandarin? "

"I don't use a computer or surf the Internet. I think technology is a disaster for human beings, "Wen Chi said while fiddling with the dulcimer. "dulcimer is the most test of tuning kung fu, but now with Andhadhun, everyone can tune it. Everyone knows that, which means no one can. I plan to stop using my mobile phone for the time being. "

Catch frogs, skin them, and be Gao Hu.

Wenchi was born in Chajiao Village, Zhongdian on March 1944 15. In primary school, Wenchi was attracted by the violin played by a Chinese teacher who had returned overseas Chinese. Unable to afford a piano, Wenchi caught a big frog and made a Gao Hu out of frog skin. At that time, a Cantonese opera troupe performed in the village. "I lay on the edge of the stage and stared at the musicians playing Gao Hu." . Wen Chi said that this can "learn from the strengths of a hundred schools of thought and become a school of its own".

Wen Chi described two tricks to learn from Gao Hu: one is to pull Gao Hu into the air. "When people practice, they always put a sponge on it and then clamp Gao Hu with their knees. I don't clip it, I control it completely by hand, so I can practice it well. " Secondly, changing strings, Gao Hu used erhu strings to train the control of strings. When he plays Gao Hu, he always gives full play to Gao Hu's sonorous timbre. "I don't even need a microphone to hold a concert in Beijing." .

I was humiliated by my children and composed angrily.

In 1960s, Wen Chi went to work in Dongguan Social Education Propaganda Team and experienced all the literary and art teams before and after the Cultural Revolution. However, with the impact of popular culture, national music has become silent. 1983, Wenchi left the stage and ran errands in a teahouse near Keyuan. One day, two primary school students skipped class and went to the teahouse to drink tea. "The child took a sip, praised me for my tea, and gave me a cigarette. I felt insulted, so I quit smoking and wrote music when I got home. This is a strong creative impulse! " This song is Wandering. This time I went to Beijing to perform, Wenchi was selected into the play.

Self-proclaimed "Dongguan One Bow"

Feng Guangyu, executive vice chairman of China Music Association, once commented that Wen Chi is a performer, a composer, a conductor and a master of vocal music design. Previously, Wenchi was awarded "Excellent Artist with Virtue, Art and White" by Guangdong Province and "Flower Cultivation Award" by the Ministry of Culture.

"When I was studying in Gao Hu, my family had no money, and I couldn't learn from anyone. I tried to figure it out for myself, so I became a family. " Because he said that he played Gao Hu best, people said that Wen Chi was "not modest at all". Wen Chi said, "Call me a bow in Dongguan in the future. I can be a bow, and you can be a bow, so I can't say that I am not modest. "

I'm afraid the Beijing audience can't understand the opening remarks.

On the evening of August 10 this year, Beijing Laoshe Teahouse will hold a special concert for famous musicians from Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei to welcome the Olympic Games. The audience includes officials and experts from the Olympic Organizing Committee. Wenchi was invited to play six pieces. "My things are particularly authentic, and folk music has changed since it entered the college." Wen Chi said, "Guangdong music is difficult to learn, just like Cantonese, it is difficult to learn the authentic taste."

"Go to Beijing to pull Gao Hu to participate in the Olympic Games. You can say that I am doing my duty, but I am not modest. " On August 6th or so, Wen Chi and his senior general went to Beijing. "I don't need to practice. The only worry is that the Beijing audience can't understand my opening remarks in Dongguan Mandarin. " .
