November 13 "Eternal Waves"

Rocked "
. There are probably not many people who have actually run a pirate radio station. 2. I did it. 3. One morning in January 2006, I was unemployed at home and made a living by writing screenplays and columns (actually, it was a new job that I didn’t actively explore while sitting and eating) I didn’t know which part of my brain cells I got off the rails. Anyway, my thoughts diverged for a while, and I suddenly remembered: maybe I can start a radio station myself. To be precise, the idea was not to "build a radio station" from his life, but to "build an interesting private radio station of the Tang Dynasty", a private radio station that survived in history and broadcasts to history and today. About an hour later, the concept of this station has gradually become clear, and there are some ideas for the column setting, and the name is also called [Liulizhuang People's Broadcasting Station]. In this concept, Liulizhuang is a small village located Liuli east of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. It is not a part-time job for grass-roots cadres who are not cadres. Later, about this radio station, I wrote this introduction: [Liulizhuang People's Radio Station] was one of the countless excellent private radio stations in China during the Tang Dynasty. We have always adhered to the professional spirit of "talking about things when you have something, and having fun when you have nothing to do", providing high-quality spiritual food for listeners from different social and cultural backgrounds around the world.
[Liulizhuang People's Broadcasting Station] has always regarded "countering the ordinary with bullshit, surpassing the popular with vulgarity" as the foundation of its establishment, and will stick to it in the foreseeable future.
In the name of "Li Yougui", he once published such an explanation:
Liuli is the distance between Liulizhuang and Chang'an City, and it is also the distance between me and heaven, the distance from my dream, and the distance from the peaceful and prosperous world. This is a distance that is continuous, cannot be painted, cannot be cancelled, cannot be deleted, cannot be steamed, cannot be cooked, cannot be beaten, cannot be fried, and is ringing.
However, on that morning in January 2006, none of these rhetoric appeared in any of my cranial nerves at all.

Since I was a child, I have a unique skill, I can speak fluent Mandarin without a teacher, and I love to imitate some northern dialects. I have also loved all kinds of voice expressions for many years. I have acted in several stage plays and said cross talk. , I usually sing some big vulgar songs, and sing some various operas, and I can still listen to it, so basically, the voice expressiveness is still passable, and it should be qualified to be an announcer of a suburban village radio station in the Tang Dynasty.
Production technology is also not a problem. I have been trying to use recording and sound editing software since 2002. When I was free, I recorded a cover song with lyrics written by myself (for example, "Home is on the edge of the Northeast Third Ring Road", which was also popular on the Internet in a small area) , I have recorded Beijing operas, recorded allegro, and even boasted and amused myself and talked about cross talk. The general audio production can be done completely;
there is no need to worry about the broadcast channel of the program. The Internet has long provided a large number for uploading. , the way to listen.
So, around noon that day, I started to write the copy of the first program of [Liulizhuang People's Broadcasting Station], and collected some audio materials that might be used. In the afternoon of the same day, I started recording the first program of [Liulizhuang People's Broadcasting Station]. The copywriting took about an hour and a half, the recording and editing time was about two or three hours, and the program was completed that night.
The rock young Tommy Shen and his girlfriend Xiao Xuanzi, who was renting with me at the time, were the first listeners of this episode. I vaguely remember that Xiao Xuanzi's reaction after hearing it was "haha", and Tommy Shen smiled and shouted "Fuck me. !"

Many people have asked why they thought of such a form.
If "such a form" refers to the "Tang Dynasty", my answer is: In fact, when I was in college, I had the ambition to create a nonsense based on the Tang Dynasty as the background and "The Story of the West Chamber" as the blueprint. Novels (unfinished until now), and later also wrote a series of small novels with some fictional characters in "Yu Qingfang" in Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty as the protagonists, so it is natural to think of putting the radio station in "Tang Dynasty". play.
And if "such a form" refers to "a private radio station", then my answer is: Many years before the birth of [Liulizhuang People's Radio Station], my "radio complex" has already taken root.

When I was about six or seven years old, I was a heavy radio listener. At that time, my favorite radio programs were "Daily Crosstalk" every afternoon by Tianjin People's Broadcasting Station and "Ten Years of Smile" every morning.
To this day, I still listen to every episode of "Daily Crosstalk" online. The first time I fell in love with cross talk was from this show. Later, because of cross talk, he fell in love with opera, drum music and other things, which also started his listening career in those years.
At the age of thirteen or fourteen, he began to listen to music programs on the radio a lot, and was obsessed with the performance of individual DJs. The special feelings for certain singers and certain music are still the foundation laid at that time, and even influenced by the DJ brother at that time. At that time, I really felt that the happiest thing in the world might be to do a job like that, to be a person like that -- this kind of thinking has not completely dissipated until now, the DJ brother I liked at that time, it is still different when I mention it now. emotion.
I went to the United Arab Emirates not long ago, where I sent some postcards for some friends.
One of them was sent to the old DJ who I never met or dated, but whom I have loved for many years.
At that time, I suddenly remembered: Maybe I should say hello and thank you?
Later, I checked the address of the radio station on the Internet and wrote it on the postcard.
I also wrote a few words on the postcard: thank you for your youth, thank you for the music, thank you.

[Liulizhuang People's Broadcasting Station] had a total of 16 episodes. After that, I posted a statement on the Internet, announcing that the program update of [Liulizhuang People's Broadcasting Station] was officially suspended.
It has been three years since then, but now, almost every day, people still ask me questions through different channels: When will [Liulizhuang People's Broadcasting Station] release a new program? Why not do it?
In the 16 episodes of that year, he was featured in "Random News", "Vulgar Songs on Demand", "Skills in the Room", "Liulizhuang Hall of Fame", "Fanhua Lecture Hall", "Li Yougui Story Hall" "In the various columns, I am the column planner, writer, host, recording engineer, editor, special guest who was teased, enthusiastic listeners who called in, and ordinary villagers who were interviewed on the street...
"Pirate Radio" The D9 version of the disc contains some deleted clips, including a line of dialogue - "The world is so crazy, only rock is the most sensible".
In fact, when I made [Liulizhuang People's Broadcasting Station], I vaguely had the same guiding ideology: the so-called reality is so absurd, but only the absurd is the most realistic.
That's why there are those unreliable news that are broadcast in a serious manner, there is Li Yougui who always strives to talk about every boring topic in a solemn and serious tone, and there are those who actively work hard in an absurd world. Liulizhuang people living in the land.
That's my pirate radio by myself.

However, [Liulizhuang People's Broadcasting Station] is not the first pirate radio station I have participated in.
When I was about fifteen or sixteen years old, I was in high school, and the girl I had a crush on was the head of the school radio station, so I tried to get in there too—first, I made myself a small student union cadre who was in charge of the radio station. , and then took advantage of his position to become a guest host of a radio station, and later became one of the anchors, responsible for a music program whose name was forgotten.
The hosts in the past have always been live broadcasts, just reading the script with music, but I used a borrowed set of Pioneer audio and blank tapes to record the program at home in advance - the advantage of recording and broadcasting is that it can be a little more complicated. The effect, and when it is broadcast, you can only play the tape, and you can flirt with the girl when you have time.
I still remember the time when the radio station aired the last class every Wednesday afternoon. Because the teachers in the whole school can hear it, and some teachers are keen to monitor the censorship, everyone does not dare to play any love songs, and most of them are "Winter Campus". I am daring. I have played a lot of love songs on the show. The ones I still remember are Wu Bai's "Summer Night Wind", Chen Sheng's "Hate Love Song", Zhang Yusheng's "Rear Window" and so on.
Although to a different degree, I feel like I was doing the same thing that the DJs at Pirate Radio were doing.

Those Wednesday evenings, I stood in the window of the radio station on the second floor, overlooking the campus surrounded by the music I played, watching the playground walking and talking and laughing to the accompaniment of the music. Teachers and students, I always feel a great sense of happiness in my heart.
Later, the head of the radio station became my first girlfriend, and the radio station became our most frequent rendezvous place.
Later, he graduated.
I went back once.
I went to the door of the broadcasting station by myself, took out the key from that year and planned to open the door, but found that the lock had already been replaced.

In my dictionary, the entry for "radio" is roughly on the same page as the word for "freedom," even though there is no real reason for the idea.
Knowing some friends who work on non-pirate radio stations, and hearing what they say about non-pirate radio stations, makes this idea even more wishful thinking. It's just my wishful thinking that every radio station I love, every program I love, is just a pirate radio station that uses voice to convey freedom, share freedom, and fight for freedom.
Moreover, even if it is to broadcast a few love songs on the middle school campus when the teacher is not prepared, even if it is to use the mouth of the Tang Dynasty to make jokes, even if it is to get a boat in the ocean to play rock music to the whole country, it can really bring What freedom?
Pirates are just a dream. Under the repression of power, everyone is a pirate, but everyone cannot be a pirate.
But freedom is always good, whether we really lack it or not, whether that freedom is real or an illusion.
Therefore, we are always insatiable.
Sometimes it is unavoidable to think: perhaps, the freedom we admire, most of the time, is actually just the freedom to love freedom?

A few years ago, in addition to the official website, [Liulizhuang People's Broadcasting Station] opened a sub-helm on a certain website.
On the sub-rudder, [Liulizhuang People's Broadcasting Station] once played the banner of "prosperous noise".
I can't remember the origin of these four words. It may be I came up with it, or it may be the hand of Mr. Mu Zimei who invited me to set up the rudder at that time.
I like these four words, and hope they are not from my own pen - because if so, I can say that [Liulizhuang People's Broadcasting Station] has received such evaluations from others, not my boast.
I believe that every pirate radio station is willing to get such an evaluation.
12.
All pirate radio stations are born with a mission to set things right.
That's why they were born.
Therefore, some of them use absurdity to dissolve absurdity, some use reality to deny reality, and some use absurdity to laugh at rules. They are both noises and songs other than noises; they are both pirate radio stations other than the people's radio stations, and real people's radio stations other than those pirate radio stations.
Therefore, every pirate radio station is precious—whether it is the boat that indulges in rock in the middle of the sea, or the private radio station that speaks to the future country from a small village in the Tang Dynasty. The middle school radio station that played love songs—even, including the voices of the young, hilarious, outspoken hosts on music shows that I listened to late at night as a teenager.
They allow freedom and sincerity to be heard.
They may be silent, but they will not perish. As long as people still love freedom and love life, they will be the legendary radio waves that never die.
Even the sturdy and prosperous world does not need noise.

The above was written for Kai La more than half a month ago. They did a feature on Pirate Radio.
About how I started [Liulizhuang People's Broadcasting Station], and some related ideas, I have never written about it before.
When I watched "Pirate Radio", I really always remembered the time when I was lying on the bed in the dormitory in the middle of the night with headphones plugged in to listen to Tianjin People's Broadcasting Station and CBS Taipei International Voice, and the scenes when I secretly played love songs at the radio station in my middle school. , I remembered those days when I sat in front of the computer in cotton pajamas and fiddled with the [Liulizhuang People's Broadcasting Station].
