However, heroic dreams are often difficult to achieve, and as countries prosper day by day, the opportunities for heroes are gradually decreasing. In order to avoid the punishment of his parents, Zang Tianshuo chose a compromise way, gave up being a hero, and no longer studied piano, but chose the path of rock and roll.
In 1984, he released his first ** work "Prayer of the Heart" and embarked on his ** journey. Although this ** did not cause much repercussions in the ** industry, it is also in line with the ** market situation in the eighties, when the ** industry was full of flowers, and it was not easy for a newcomer to emerge with a work in a short period of time.

However, the opening of this bar became a turning point in Zang's life. He has the demeanor of a big brother and treats his friends cheerfully and generously, so he has many friends around him.
After Zang Tianshuo became popular, many people began to want to slap him up and get some benefits from him. During this time, Zang Tianshuo was a righteous and honest person in the eyes of the public, so they gave him a nickname called "Zang Ye".
Just like "those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black", even a celebrity is not exempt from vulgarity. Since Zang Tianshuo opened a bar, his artistic aura has become weaker and weaker, but more and more like a big brother in the rivers and lakes, and his arrogance has also increased.
He himself often participated in some fights and incidents that disrupted social order. In 2001, his "Friends Bar" was too extravagant and eventually closed down.
According to employees who work at Zang's bar, Zang's bar has an unwritten rule that as long as Zang's friends come to the store, not only will it be free, but the best drinks will be served.

However, the rival bar did not succumb so easily, and things escalated further, with clashes between the two sides, even involving the appearance of knives and guns.
The clash resulted in deaths and injuries on both sides, but fortunately, the police intervened in time to prevent the situation from deteriorating further. However, Zang Tianshuo, who was involved, was not punished, but became more unscrupulous and challenged the bottom line of the law.
Before he went to prison, he committed almost all serious crimes, including fighting, picking quarrels, and driving under the influence of alcohol. It wasn't until 2008, when he was imprisoned for assembling a crowd to fight, that his behavior was temporarily controlled.
Almost all of his wrongdoings are related to his"Friends"Relate. The song made him famous, but it also got him into trouble.
Zang Tianshuo's lonely death in prison made him see the true face of his so-called friend and why he took the wrong path. Therefore, he began to look for a way to change himself, hoping to improve his mind and self-cultivation through the cultivation of calligraphy classes, so as to avoid being stumped by the righteousness of his friends again.
During his imprisonment, he selflessly shared his knowledge, taught other lovers in prison to sing and play, not only got rid of his bad habits for many years, but also performed well in prison and was released early.
After he was released from prison, he was much calmer and knew his true friends more clearly. Because he has been teaching ** in prison for a long time, he fell in love with education, and after he was released from prison, he founded an art training class, hoping to help children with ** dreams realize their rock and roll dreams.
After being released from prison, he seems to be living a happy life, however, fate plays a joke on him, and soon after, he is diagnosed with cancer, which makes him know that his life is coming to an end when he wants to live well.
Zang Tianshuo was once a bright star in the ** world, but life gave him a ruthless blow. Under the arrangement of his family, he began to accept **, and his condition was under control, but in the face of visits from friends, he always chose to refuse.
He couldn't accept his current situation, which was in stark contrast to the high-spirited person he used to be. He would rather face it all alone, even with his family in his company.
Eventually, he passed away on September 28, 2018. His success stems from friends, but so does his pain. The world is impermanent, and life is like a dream.
