The two migrant workers became stars after singing the tearjerker(催人泪下) song during an evening drinking session in a 6squaremeter rented room in a late August evening.A friend recorded the performance on a cell phone and posted it on the Internet.
“If someday I am dead,please bury me in the spring,” they sing.Wang's penetrating chorus,delivered with his eyes closed,has moved thousands to tears.
Wang and Liu consider the song a true portrait of lowerclass groups like themselves.
“With no credit card,no girlfriend,or a home with hot water,but only a guitar,I am singing happily,on streets,under bridges or in the wild country,though nobody pays attention to the music,” they sing.
To support his wife and two sons,Wang came to Beijing in 2000 from the countryside and has worked as a boiler man,and street peddler,before becoming a medical warehouse keeper,with a monthly pay of around 1,500 yuan.Little is left after he pays 600 yuan for rent and buys food.
Liu came to Beijing in 2002.“I want to try my luck in the big city,” he said.He had worked as a guard,roadside peddler,and porter,but never had a stable job.Street performing was his main income,even after he married and became a father three years ago.
Wang and Liu are still uncertain where their fame will lead.Wang has started learning to use a computer.They even have a microblog(微博) account to communicate with fans.
