Inspirational deeds: white-collar workers pursuing their dreams

White-collar pursuit of dreams

On the weekend night, the big and small live houses in Beijing are crowded. Away from the boring office, the young people on the dance floor regain their self in floating notes. On the stage, the tiny guitarist swayed the strings and he was one of the CNdY bands. Unlike other young people playing bands, Yao Lingjia does not have colorful hair, conspicuous tattoos or even alternative clothes. Although the T-shirt on his body is ordinary, but the melody he has produced is the most pointed electronic music.

The dazzling lights let the soul go out, and the performance will last until two or three in the morning. When it is dawn, everything will be less real. In fact, Yao Lingjia is not a professional musician. He is a senior department head of a foreign company in the construction industry. In the CBD, Yao Lingjia has his own office, a book full of professional books, a card of the reggae godfather Bob Marley is nailed to the frame, as if to tell the secret of the protagonist. Going to work, meeting, discussing the program, Yao Lingjia's work is like a piano piece that is rapidly alternating between the left and right hands, nervous and orderly.

In Europe and the United States, people who are engaged in quite professional skills during the day and who work part-time at night in their interests are called "whiz-kid professional". Yao Lingjia is such a rock-and-roll youth who is hidden in the city. During the day, he is a bright and beautiful white-collar worker, and after work, he turns into an electric DJ. No one knows that there is a swaying heart hidden in his serious suit.

Yao Lingjia has been playing teams since college, and music has always been an integral part of his life. After going to work, Yao Lingjia also continued to group several bands, but they were all disbanded for various reasons. Now, Yao Lingjia is the guitarist of CNdY. This electronic band composed of four 80s is already famous. It is a mature house of live house and a frequent visitor to major music festivals. The name of the band sounds like a swearing, but the real meaning is - a toast, a ubiquitous, dog-like young man. The other members of the band, like Yao Lingjia, have a generous salary and a decent job, but they are not satisfied with "too loyal." In Yao Lingjia's view, work and music are not contradictory, and they are indispensable, just like the left. The brain controls rationality and the right brain controls sensibility.

Yao Lingjia in his life with a pair of black-rimmed glasses, easy-going and restrained, but in the music is harsh and mad. Not only is the home full of instruments, every time you have to bring a 5, 60-pound equipment box. In order to maintain his image, he also regularly controls his weight and even eats only one sandwich every night. The band's ambition is not small, their common goal is to do the best electronic music, I hope that one day I can be with the idol chemistry brother in my heart.

Yao Lingjia said that music makes you young. Every time you have to go to the stage, you must drink, or even drink high. At least you have to kill a whole bottle of rum. Once, because the performance was postponed for too long, the energy consumption was over, so that the whole performance was Very awkward. Of course, electronic music is not so common in China, and the avant-garde style has also caused Yao Lingjia to suffer a cold spot. Facing the sporadic audience, it is definitely a lie to say that it is not lost, but in the pursuit of dreams, he has entered the rhinoceros horn like a head.
