Before he became famous, "Big Yi Brother" Zhu Zhiwen was just an ordinary farmer: living in a mud house, feeding chickens, growing wheat, harvesting corn, or going out. work to earn a living. In the eyes of people around him, he is a withdrawn character. He is in his thirties and only likes to play with children. Zhu Zhiwen's family was poor and his family was not good at communicating. Although his home was open at that time, few people came to visit.

In the first class, he learned the song "Sailing the Sea Depends on the Helmsman".

If when I grow up, I can use my singing to impress the people across the country and publicize the stories of revolutionary martyrs, this will It's so meaningful. The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Poor family conditions became an obstacle to Zhu Zhiwen's musical dream.

Zhu Zhiwen, who is less than 10 years old, has to do heavy farm work like an adult. In his spare time, he fills his life with singing. He used the Huanghe radio that his second brother bought for him to listen to and practice songs, and made a cruel rule: not to sleep until two o'clock in the morning. Therefore, in Zhulou Village in the middle of the night, in the woods and on the river embankment, the loud singing voice of a young man often floats.

Now Brother Dayi has become a frequent guest on CCTV. He even became a resident judge of "Avenue of Stars". Many peasant singers were only popular for a while. For example, Xuri Yanggang and others have disappeared now, but Brother Dayi is becoming more and more popular. This may be due to Brother Dayi's unchanging simplicity.
