Lao Zi, formerly known as Wu Liqun, was born in Wenzhou in March 1967, with his father in Yiwu and his mother in Wenzhou. 1987, Sigh, who can't speak Cantonese, became a "wandering singer" in Guangzhou karaoke bars, and soon became one of the top guitarists in China. Even "Nan Sigh and Bei Laowu (guitarists of Tang Dynasty bands)" became famous music producers. He has been developing in Beijing since 2000, mainly writing film and television songs.
Lao Zai, who still speaks Wenzhou dialect, and Wu Diqing, who is also a Wenzhou musician, are good friends. In 2008, I was invited to attend the World Wenzhou People's Congress in my hometown, play guitar, cooperate with others, and perform Mei Lan I love you at a literary evening, which left a deep impression on Wenzhou audience.
After receiving the invitation from the Asian Games Organizing Committee, Lao Zi and his partner Xu Rongkai spent three months composing this Asian Games song "Reunion". When Reunion was identified as the song of the Asian Games, as a songwriter, Lao Tzu admitted that he had been thinking hard for a long time, and it was not until the Guangdong nursery rhyme "The falling rain" jumped into his mind that he was inspired. In an interview with CCTV, he said: "The first complete Cantonese song I heard was the Cantonese nursery rhyme" It rained heavily ",so the Cantonese children's singing of" It rained heavily and flooded the street "was added to the prelude. I also learned its essence in the score and high notes. It can be said that the whole song has elements of Guangzhou. "
