火爆抖音的《漠河舞廳》有個(gè)悲傷故事：一場(chǎng)大火，一生守候的愛情

On the morning of Oct 23, Chinese singer-songwriter Liu Shuang arrived in Heze, Shandong province, with his band to perform at an outdoor music festival.

10月23日早晨，獨(dú)立音樂人柳爽抵達(dá)山東菏澤，攜樂隊(duì)成員登臺(tái)菏澤海報(bào)音樂節(jié)。

One hour before they checked their equipment and tested the sound, they were told that the event had been canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

還沒來得及檢測(cè)設(shè)備和試音，他們便被告知因疫情防控，2021菏澤海報(bào)音樂節(jié)延期舉辦，原定活動(dòng)取消。

Liu and the band were soon on their way back to Beijing, where they are based.

不久，柳爽和樂隊(duì)又返回了他們的駐地北京。

On the train journey to the Chinese capital, Liu received a message on Sina Weibo, saying that his song Mohe Ballroom had gone viral on the Douyin video-sharing platform.

回北京的路上，柳爽收到微博私信：他的歌《漠河舞廳》在抖音火了。

However, he didn't take the message seriously until the next day, when he learned that footage of the song had been viewed more than 10 million times on Douyin.

起初他沒有在意這個(gè)消息。但第二天《漠河舞廳》的片段在抖音的瀏覽量就破了1000萬。

Liu, 29, now one of the most talked about Chinese singer-songwriters, said: "My team and I were overwhelmed by this sudden fame. It was like a dream come true, as we had been working hard to get our songs known by a wider audience."

29歲的柳爽是現(xiàn)在討論熱度很高的創(chuàng)作歌手，他說：“我們沒想到能一夜成名，有點(diǎn)發(fā)懵。我一直期待我們的歌能被更多人聽到，也算是圓夢(mèng)了?！?/span>

In less than two days, the video of the song had been viewed some 700 million times.

短短兩天時(shí)間，歌曲視頻播放量已達(dá)7億次。

Mohe Ballroom was released in June last year and featured in Liu's third album, First Planet.

《漠河舞廳》發(fā)行于2020年6月，是柳爽的第三張專輯《1st.星球》中的一首。

The song was inspired by Liu's trip in 2019 to Mohe, Heilongjiang province, China's northernmost city, where he met an elderly man who was dancing alone in a ballroom.

這首歌的靈感誕生于柳爽的一次旅行。2019年，柳爽到東北邊陲小城漠河采風(fēng)，遇到了一位在舞廳里獨(dú)自舞蹈的老人。

"I was curious and danced with him. We talked for a while during a break, when I learned about his story," said Liu, who later wrote an article titled Goodbye Evening Star, which he published on his social media platform.

“我當(dāng)時(shí)對(duì)他很好奇，就跟著一起跳。休息間隙和他閑聊時(shí)，了解到了他的故事?！敝螅瑢懴隆对僖娏送硇恰芬晃?，并發(fā)布在他的社交媒體平臺(tái)上。

Mohe Ballroom, written in March last year, is based on the old man's story.

2020年3月，柳爽創(chuàng)作出《漠河舞廳》，背景故事中的原型人物，便是那位舞廳中央獨(dú)自舞蹈的老人。

On May 6, 1987, about 200 people were killed when a fire that broke out in mountains near Mohe tore through the city. The fire, which lasted 28 days, destroyed more than 10,000 square kilometers of forest. Direct economic losses were estimated at 500 million yuan.

1987年5月6日，漠河—大興安嶺山區(qū)發(fā)生特大森林火災(zāi)，211人葬身火海。大火持續(xù)了28天，焚毀了1萬多平方公里的森林，造成直接經(jīng)濟(jì)損失達(dá)5億元。

The elderly man, who uses the pseudonym Zhang Dequan, lost his wife to the blaze. He has not remarried and has no children, so he often visits the old ballroom and dances alone to remember the times he and his wife spent there.

老人名為張德全（化名），他的妻子就在這場(chǎng)大火中喪生。之后幾十年，老人未再婚，也沒有子女。他常常獨(dú)自在漠河舞廳跳舞，回憶和妻子在這里共舞的時(shí)光。

Liu said: "Both the article and the song have been fictionalized, and I added some additional details. To me, the most important part of the song are the lyrics. I wanted to dedicate Mohe Ballroom to those who lost their lives in that big fire."

柳爽說：“《再見了晚星》和《漠河舞廳》都加入了一些文學(xué)想象和細(xì)節(jié)填充。對(duì)我來說，最重要的部分是歌詞，我想把《漠河舞廳》這首歌獻(xiàn)給所有在那場(chǎng)大火中逝去的生命。”

One listener said: "It's easy to see why Mohe Ballroom resonated with listeners when it did. Full of emotional detail and poetic lyrics, the song, with Liu's whispery vocals, fulfills people's imaginations about a tragic love story."

一位聽眾說道：“其實(shí)不難看出《漠河舞廳》引得聽眾共鳴的原因：情感細(xì)節(jié)到位，歌詞極具詩意，加上柳爽似低語般的嗓音，滿足了人們對(duì)凄美愛情故事的想象?！?/span>

But Liu is upset when people refer to him as a singer who gained overnight fame on the internet.

但對(duì)于人們把他看作一個(gè)一夜成名的“網(wǎng)紅歌手”，柳爽感到有些困擾。

Born and raised in Kuqa city, Aksu prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, the self-taught singer-songwriter made his stage debut in 2014, performing his original song Grandpa during a year-end gala at his university. Since then, he has been writing his own material. In 2018, he released his debut album Grow and toured nationwide.

柳爽出生于新疆維吾爾自治區(qū)阿克蘇地區(qū)庫車市，自學(xué)唱歌和詞曲創(chuàng)作。2014年，他登上中國(guó)人民公安大學(xué)年終晚會(huì)的舞臺(tái)，演唱了原創(chuàng)歌曲《姥爺》，那是他的舞臺(tái)首秀。自此，柳爽成為獨(dú)立音樂人，并于2018年發(fā)行首專《生長(zhǎng)》，開啟首次全國(guó)巡演。

The song's huge popularity has made Mohe an in-demand tourism destination. Visitors flock to the city to see the ballroom, in the hope of meeting the elderly man.

《漠河舞廳》大火帶動(dòng)了漠河旅游業(yè)需求上漲。游客蜂擁來到漠河，參觀舞廳，希望能遇到這位老人。

Li Jinbao, who owns the ballroom, told Beijing News: "The man often visited my ballroom in 2019. However, since the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, I have not seen him.

舞廳老板李金寶告訴《新京報(bào)》：“2019年的時(shí)候，的確有個(gè)老人常來舞廳跳舞。但有了疫情以后，已經(jīng)很久沒有見他了?！?/span>

"I was 21 when I witnessed the fire that swept through Mohe. The city was later rebuilt and its first public ballroom opened, which immediately became popular among local residents."

“那年我才21歲，親眼目睹了這場(chǎng)大火席卷漠河?；馂?zāi)之后，漠河重建，當(dāng)?shù)爻霈F(xiàn)了第一家真正意義上的私營(yíng)大眾舞廳，成為除電影院之外最受當(dāng)?shù)厝讼矏鄣男蓍e娛樂場(chǎng)所?！?/span>

Zhang Wenqian, 30, a civil servant, visited the venue for the first time after she viewed Mohe Ballroom online.

30歲的公務(wù)員張文倩在網(wǎng)上看到《漠河舞廳》的視頻后，第一次來到舞廳。

"This is a good chance to promote our city nationwide," she said. "At the same time, the song also reminds residents of painful memories and of the need to prevent a similar incident."

她說：“這是個(gè)宣傳漠河的好機(jī)會(huì)。而這首歌也會(huì)警醒居民們記住那場(chǎng)災(zāi)難，防止類似事件再次發(fā)生。”

Mohe is one of the few places in China with a subarctic climate－long, severe winters and short, warm summers. Winter begins in early to mid-October and lasts until late April. The city holds the record for China's lowest temperature, minus 52.3 C in 1956.

漠河市，是國(guó)內(nèi)為數(shù)不多擁有亞北極氣候的城市之一。夏日溫暖卻短暫，冬日嚴(yán)寒而漫長(zhǎng)，會(huì)從十月中上旬一直持續(xù)到次年四月底。1956年，漠河創(chuàng)下了中國(guó)最低氣溫紀(jì)錄零下52.3攝氏度。

But if the climate suggests an inhospitable place, this is not the case. The border with Russia has a raw beauty, attracting countless tourists every year, although they mostly visit in summer to witness the aurora borealis, or northern lights.

但如果說這種氣候意味著漠河不宜居住，就你就錯(cuò)了。因與俄羅斯接壤，邊境線的風(fēng)光野性奔放，每年都吸引著無數(shù)游客，哪怕多數(shù)游客只選擇在夏天過來欣賞極光。

The local tourism department has been quick to seize the chance brought by Mohe Ballroom.

當(dāng)?shù)芈糜尾块T迅速抓住了《漠河舞廳》帶來的契機(jī)。

Feng Guangqing, director of the bureau, told China Tourism News: "The local government has developed the tourist industry since 1981. However, due to the long distances involved and inconvenient transportation links, we haven't seen a large influx of tourists like some other well-known tourist destinations."

旅游局局長(zhǎng)馮廣慶告訴《中國(guó)旅游報(bào)》：“漠河旅游從1981年開始開發(fā)，雖然有三十幾年的歷史，但受制于交通問題，一直是個(gè)很平靜、沒有大量游客涌入的狀態(tài)?！?/span>

Mohe has a long history, profound cultural heritage, and Mohe Ballroom has touched the hearts of millions of people.

漠河歷史悠久，文化底蘊(yùn)深厚，而《漠河舞廳》更是觸動(dòng)了百萬人的心。
