The first time I saw Pu Shu was on CCTV's variety show. He stood on the stage, very quietly, singing the song "White Birch Forest" that became known to everyone. Like many others, I was first introduced to Pu Shu's music when I listened to "White Birch Forest".

When singing "White Birch Forest", Pu Shu has very long hair, which gives people a relatively quiet feeling. At that time, he was not well-known as a young singer who had just debuted, and the first time I heard him sing "White Birch Forest", I thought he sang quite well, but unfortunately he was not very famous. I didn't expect the second time I saw him at CCTV's Spring Festival Gala. He still sang "White Birch Forest", still standing so quietly, it seemed that it had nothing to do with the excitement of the Spring Festival night. However, presumably his singing at the Spring Festival Gala this time made more people pay attention to him.

Pu Shu's first album "I'll Go for Two Thousand Years" doesn't seem to be very popular, and it seems to be much less popular than his second album. His second album "Life Like a Summer Flower" took four years to write after the first album, and the style and expression of the music, as well as the mood and thoughts expressed in the music, have changed a lot from the first album. However, this first album can be said to be a milestone in Pu Shu's musical life.

At that time, Pu Shu was still very young, and he could even be said to be very innocent, so the songs he wrote had a kind of struggle in it, a kind of resistance, a kind of despair, a kind of helplessness, and a kind of pride in it. At that time, he felt both ecstatic joy and utter despair.

He wants to be a hero, "I want to be a hero, I want to eat a big piece of the sky", but "Lao Zhang next door told me that when I was young, I was as crazy as you, I was not afraid of drinking wine in big bowls, eating meat in large chunks, and now I have become timid and cautious when I am old, and I forget my dreams and only beg to be able to live in peace", so "I understand now, it doesn't matter, I just eat enough", "Sometimes I am very happy, sometimes I am sad, until I become Lao Zhang in the future and live like a dog." This kind of reality can only be accepted, can do it, can't do it, and this life will be over quickly."

When he was in college, Pu Shu went to a foreign Chinese school. I think his ability to learn, I should say self-study, should be very good, because he is very good at English and French. He has written English lyrics and songs in French. However, the fun in Pu Shu's heart, the desire in his heart is not in the programmed learning in school, his heart longs for another life, another world that quietly rises in his heart, which will be shown very clearly when he holds the guitar and sings to himself, and he loves the world that unfolds in front of him in music. But that world is destined to be something that few people can understand and understand. Therefore, he was inevitably sad.

Young Pu Shu couldn't stay in school, which only made him feel constrained, so he dropped out of school in his sophomore year. We won't be too clear about what Pu Shu's purpose and thoughts were at that time, but one thing is for sure, in Pu Shu's world, he thinks it's much better to drop out of school than to stay in school and age day by day. Just like he sang in "Mom, I ......": I don't know why I don't leave, I can't tell what I miss something, here every day I have nothing to do but old age, last night I drank a lot of wine, I heard my life burning, just like it burned, like it was going to burn out, what can I do here, I ask myself, what can I do......

If you take a different path from the others, you will inevitably have a lot of troubles and despair. The same is true of Pu Shu. After dropping out of school, he must have wanted to make a name for himself in music, so he stayed at home and sang with his guitar in his arms and began to write his own songs. Fortunately, God loved him very much, and let him be a musical genius, saving himself and those of us who love Pu Shu's songs and love to listen to his songs.

Fortunately, he was born in Beijing, a city with a great music environment and many record companies, and his talent was discovered by Gao Xiaosong. So, he finally began to officially embark on the path of music. Because of his musical talent, he will be destined to go wide on this path.

After the first song to be accepted by the general public, "White Birch Forest", was widely acclaimed, Pu Shu released his first album "I Go Two Thousand Years". All the songs on this album are written and composed by himself. And what is commendable is that each song will be a classic rock song, no matter how many years have passed, in the Chinese rock circle, his album will always be one of the classics that is admired.

When he wrote these songs, Pu Shu was about twenty-four years old, very young, because he sang in "Don't, Don't": Don't dream, you are twenty-four years old, life is already as strict as Uncle Li in the communication room, don't be obsessed with the distance, look at your rice tank, life is no longer windy, but sauce and vinegar and salt in the bowl. To face the smoke of survival, you know the warmth and coldness of people, you know that the world is difficult and dangerous, naivety is a sin, in your adult world, life is no longer windy, but the money you have worked hard to earn from others......

I think many people may have doubts or even disgust with such lyrics, can such lyrics be regarded as lyrics? Just like I had doubts when I first listened to it, I didn't expect that such simple and straightforward words could be put into the song by Pu Shu so well, only seamless can be described.

And when it comes to "Those Flowers", it will surely resonate with more people. It's an idyllic song. Every time I listen to this song, I always feel that how Pu Shu did it, how he did it, can write such a subtle and frank song.

The lyrics of this song are like a poem, and when I listen to him sing it, it is like watching a picture of the years flowing with the wind, which contains all the characters and plots to be told in the song.

At the end of the song, there is the sound of a girl laughing, and that laughter always makes me feel that life is like a sad but calm story, and Pu Shu knows the essence of this story. However, although we know the essence of it, it is still difficult to distinguish the true from the fake.

"Those stories haven't been told yet, forget it, those moods have been difficult to distinguish between true and false in the years, and now here is overgrown with grass and no flowers, fortunately, there used to be your spring, autumn, winter and summer. They're all old, where are they, we're just like that, each going to the end of the world......"
