Two Chinese farmers sang "in the spring" in their small room after drinking in a late August evening in
Beijing. A friend put their song on the Internet. And soon they became stars around China.
Wang Xu, 44, is from Henan, and Liu Gang, 29, is from Heilongjiang. They are among the millions of
farmers who have gone to the cities to work.
"Although nobody pays attention to the music, I am singing happily, on streets, under bridges or in wild
country, with no credit card, no girlfriend or a home with hot water, but only a guitar." They sing, "It is just
like the life we live now." Wang said, "We are poor farmers, and you know people won't care about us."
Their song is loved by millions of Chinese, including the people who are also from the countryside. Many
people said they cried after listening to the song.
Wang came to Beijing in 2000 and has tried many jobs. Each month after he paid 600 yuan for the house
and bought food, there was little money left. "I love music, and also want to make more money." Wang said.
"I never dreamed of standing on such a big stage."
Liu came to Beijing in 2002. "I wanted to try my luck in the big city." He said. And now their dreams of
music have come true. They are really the luckiest of all the farmers in China.
