This is the 4761st real-life story we have told
I am Xiao Lu, from Baoding, Hebei. Because I was obsessed with the band beyond, I became associated with music, and then went to Italy to study as a graduate student. I have been there for 11 years.
It was not all smooth sailing for me in Italy. I was defrauded of 80,000 yuan in study abroad funds, failed the postgraduate entrance examination twice in a row, was rejected by three prestigious schools at the same time, and had to give up studying opera for more than 10 years after graduation.
When I reach middle age, I must shoulder the responsibility of supporting my family. Unexpectedly, after I changed my career to be a tour guide, my life suddenly became brighter. After going through doubts and hardships, I finally found the best state of my life, which is ordinary but very satisfying.
(poster I took when I was in the university drama club)
I am Xiao Lu. I was born in Baoding, Hebei in 1986. I now live in Milan, Italy. I am a tour guide registered in Italy.
My hometown, Wuluohou, is a quaint small mountain village in the north. There used to be a stone tablet at the entrance of the village, with the three characters "Wuluo Hou" engraved on the front and "Luo Yi, King of Peking during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, stationed here" on the back, which is where the name of the village comes from. Although the stone tablet has been moved away long ago, the history recorded on the stone tablet still makes me proud.
I have two children in my family. I am the eldest and I have a sister who is 1 year younger than me.
My parents are ordinary people. My father is a truck driver and my mother is a full-time housewife. But I have never lived with my parents since I was a child, because when I was a baby, I suddenly rolled off the bed and cried loudly, which scared my mother and grandma.
From then on, my grandma was worried that my mother had no experience in raising children, so she took me over to take care of me and loved me in every possible way.
(When I was studying in college in Hebei Province)
Grandpa had the greatest influence on my growth. He became a soldier in his 10s, taught himself cultural knowledge, joined the party while in the army, and served as an artillery platoon in the battles of liberation of Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang. He later served as the captain of the Public Security Bureau, the director of the police station and the director of the Food Bureau.
My grandfather worked hard all his life. He retired a year early when I was born. Therefore, during my childhood, I heard stories about my grandfather joining the army, working, catching bad guys, and solving criminal cases. As a result, I understand good and evil, have a bottom line, and have resilience. But sometimes he is very self-centered, loves to be more serious, and doesn't really listen to other people's opinions.
Grandpa likes literature and art. He used to organize community art teams to perform folk music performances such as erhu, suona, and percussion. When I was a child, I studied folk music with my grandfather for a period of time, but I didn’t stick with it. Instead, I was attracted to the rock music with a more intense rhythm. I became a die-hard fan of the band beyond, and I have been associated with music ever since.
(I am in a recording studio in Qinhuangdao)
There is a big market in our village. Whenever I go to the market, I will buy a lot of posters of the band beyond and plaster them in every corner of the room.
Whenever the death anniversary of lead singer Huang Jiaju comes, I will remember him in my own way.
Before I graduated from elementary school, I had the dream of forming a band. Because we all like the band beyond, I formed a band with four or five friends from the village, and I served as the lead singer.
To form a band, you need to buy a lot of equipment and spend a lot of money. When it comes to this, someone will definitely ask me, you can form a band in elementary school, where do you get the money to buy electric guitars, drums, and speakers? Your family must be a million-yuan household in the village, right? But really not.
(I participated in the high school art performance)
There is a friend in our band who plays guitar very well, but his family just doesn’t have the money to buy an electric guitar.
Our band members unanimously decided to make their own money to buy electric guitars. But because we were young and ignorant, we removed the wires from the uninhabited old house in the village and sold them. We thought that by selling these wires, we could buy an electric guitar. Within a few days, this matter was discovered. The person who discovered that the wire was missing was not the farmer, but the uncle electrician in the village. Because that night, he happened to be hiding in the dark and witnessed our "committing process".
learned that it was exposed, which really scared us. Fortunately, he did not send us to the police station, but sent us home and gave us a profound criticism and education.
If we consider it as an infringement of public property, our behavior is indeed illegal. Considering that we were too young, the nature of our behavior was not bad, and we took the initiative to admit our mistakes, the electrician uncle let us go.
Later, the parents came to know about this matter. When we said that we wanted to form a band and have our own electric guitar, we finally got the support of the parents. We got electric guitars and the band was officially formed.
(I was hiking in the Alps)
Our band once held a concert at Weicun No. 2 Middle School in Qingyuan County, Baoding City, and also performed classic songs of the beyond band at the Gucheng Xiangye Annual Meeting, as well as some small performances. Now, I can't remember anymore.
I made a great success in the band, but my academic performance plummeted. Fortunately, I took the time to make up for my classes on the eve of the high school entrance examination and was successfully admitted to a high school's music specialty class. But the school only had majors related to classical music, and there were no specific majors in jazz, rock, or pop, so I switched to classical music and learned baritone singing.
When I was in high school, I formed a new band with my classmates, but the performances were limited to the Ministry of Education's cultural performances and school evenings.
In 2006, I was admitted to a vocal performance major in a university in Hebei Province, but I always believed that the singing methods I learned in the past four years were wrong.
In order to improve myself, after graduating from college, I decided to study abroad in Italy and learn the real bel canto singing method.
(I am in Tuscany, Italy)
I have an independent personality and do not easily listen to other people’s opinions. I did not discuss with my parents when I went to study abroad in Italy. After completing the study abroad procedures, I told my parents that I was going to study abroad and go to graduate school. Go abroad and try your luck.
The ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny. I wanted to go to Italy to learn real bel canto singing. Unexpectedly, when I was applying to study abroad, I was defrauded of 80,000 yuan in study abroad funds through a phone call, which was almost all my savings! At that time, I really felt that the sky was falling. In desperation, I decided to go through the study abroad procedures by myself. From applying for study abroad documents to enrolling, after several rounds, I finally completed it.
This process made me understand that even in a foreign country, many things can be done as long as I work hard.
When you first come to Italy, you must first learn the language well. My language school is in Reggio Emilia. It is quiet and ancient. It is my first impression of Italy.
There are some old immigrants from Zhejiang here. They open restaurants and laundries here and have long been integrated with this city.
(I gather with my mountaineering friends)
The classmates in my class are all from China. They do not have bad habits such as comparing each other and spending money lavishly. Instead, they focus on learning. The learning atmosphere in the class is rich and their daily life is grounded. I was so angry that I was also inspired and determined to learn Italian well.
The logic and pronunciation of Italian and English are very different, but the pronunciation is very simple. The difficulty also lies in the fact that there are many verb conjugations. For example, a verb has more than 100 variations, which are different in different tenses, persons, and conditions. Of course, the more you master, the higher your Italian proficiency will be.
I was very successful in language learning. I thought I would be able to apply for schools and majors smoothly, but what happened next surprised me.
(Me and the mountain guide)
There is something wrong with my singing voice. I was taking an exam in Venice, and I was stopped by the examiner after I sang just two lines. He asked in confusion: "You have a tenor voice, why do you want to sing baritone works?"
I had countless question marks in my mind at the time. I majored in vocal performance in China. I have been singing baritone from high school to university, and I have also taken lessons from teachers at famous music conservatories in China. I have experienced several teachers, and no one has ever doubted that I am a tenor. Why am I suspected of being a tenor here? ?
Although I couldn’t answer the examiner’s questions on the spot, I was still stubborn in my heart and even said to myself disdainfully, “Is this the level of a professor from the Italian Conservatory of Music? Can’t I even hear a baritone?”
I confidently said After singing all the exam repertoire, the examiner confidently rejected me. The three prestigious schools I applied for all rejected me.
I was not discouraged. I continued to prepare for the exam in the second year and even found a teacher from a well-known music school in Italy to take private lessons. When the teacher heard that I sang with a loud voice, he said, "You may be a tenor, but I don't think you can improve in a year. It's better to sing baritone works first. The exam is important." Como Conservatory of Music Graduate Examination)
The confidence I finally found was once again shattered in the face of reality. After hearing what this teacher said, I was even more at a loss. While I wanted to prove myself, I was constantly being questioned, and my whole person became confused. As expected, I failed again the next year.
In the third year, I found another male teacher to take private lessons. He also said that I had a problem with my voice, and my competitors were all excellent. They had sung the correct voice for many years, and I passed the exam. The odds are slim.
I have failed the exam twice. What should I do if I fail the exam again this time? In order to pass the exam, I followed my teacher’s advice, studied baritone for a year, and was admitted to the opera performance major at the Conservatory of Music in Como, Italy.
Along the way, only I know the hardships I have put in for my music dream. In order to survive, I have been working in Chinatown, working 6 days a week, almost 12 hours a day, grilling lamb kebabs, skewers, serving dishes, etc.
No matter how tired I am, I have never relaxed about my singing major. My whole body is spinning all year round.
Conservatory of Music in Como is one of the top music conservatories in Italy. It carries my musical dream for many years and makes my desire to learn true bel canto singing become a reality.
(I participated in a study tour with a professor from the Venice Academy of Fine Arts)
What makes me even more happy is that I became a classmate with Zhang Xiqiu, a tenor singer who is now active in the domestic music industry.
Zhang Xiqiu’s singing skills and knowledge of vocalization are top-notch. He helped me a lot. Most importantly, he insisted that I go to a voice testing agency in Italy to have my vocal cords checked. It doesn't matter if you check it out, I am indeed a tenor.
It is really difficult for a person who has been singing wrong parts and singing skills for many years to change within two years and pass various exams, large and small! Thinking of those days when I spent day and night learning works and singing skills, it is really difficult for people who have not experienced it personally to understand.
After graduating from graduate school, I did not find a particularly satisfying job, and I was already 31 years old at the time. I had a girlfriend who would never leave me. She came to Italy to study with me. We moved 9 times together. Had a lot of hard days.
As a man, I have to shoulder the responsibility of supporting my family and being responsible for each other's future. I can't continue to be willful.
(I am decorating my apartment)
I made a difficult and painful decision to give up singing, which I have loved for many years, and switch to doing some pragmatic things. I tried to go into real estate sales, but after 3 months I realized it wasn't for me. Later, I tried to be a tour guide, because Italy is really rich in tourism resources. Whether it is the solemn and mysterious Milan Cathedral, the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa, or the medieval San Gimignano, every scenery is unique. Make people linger.
The threshold for working as a tour guide in Italy is relatively low. As long as you can speak Italian and are familiar with various modes of transportation, you can solicit business.
This is how I started at the beginning, but as the business volume increased, I wanted to become more professional so that I could better serve customers. Therefore, I obtained the Italian tour guide certificate and continued to accumulate knowledge related to tourism.
Through being a tour guide, I have come into contact with a large number of Renaissance things, including architecture, paintings, sculptures, ancient cities, churches, etc.
When I first saw the Milan Cathedral, my heart was not only shocked but also shocked. I once wanted to understand how a church could be so big, take so many years to build, spend so much manpower and material resources, and be loved by so many people. All of this is really amazing.
(I am at St. John’s Cathedral in Malta)
My tour guide job is going smoothly. The only difficulty is dealing with customers of different statuses. Although there are many Chinese tourists coming to Italy, I don’t have much social experience in the country, and I don’t know much about the people in the country. When I meet clients with different statuses, I can arrange itineraries for them, but I am less able to take care of each other's psychological feelings.
The happiest thing for me at work is meeting good customers. For me, there are two criteria for good customers: first, they have high quality, stable personality, can communicate smoothly, and the whole trip is pleasant; second, they can feel If you appreciate my attentive service, you will give me a tip of several hundred euros as a thank you.
But everything has two sides, and I have also encountered some distressing things while leading a group. For example, some guests spit everywhere and the sound is very loud. It is useless for me to remind them. One time, the owner of a pizza shop kicked him out because a tourist was talking loudly.
During the epidemic, my job as a tour guide was suspended, and my mental condition was not good. I chose to go hiking and fishing with my friends to pass the time. At most, I would climb 4 days a week, 13 hours a day.
When I climbed to the top of the mountain, the joy of "seeing all the small mountains at a glance" made me temporarily forget the difficulties and pressure in front of me.
(My climbing friends and I)
Although I still feel empty after climbing, when I talked with my friend, he used Buddhist ideas to help me answer my questions and help me resolve my anxiety and uneasiness.
The epidemic has also changed my personality a lot. I finally have time to be alone. I have asked myself some questions, such as how I deal with relationships with other people, and how I deal with the psychology of comparison and jealousy between people.
When I returned to China last year, I had a party with my friends who played in a band when I was a kid. They all said that I seemed like a different person, not as bright as a striker, and that I was becoming more and more calm.
Nowadays, I am engaged in ground connection business and self-media to show Italian style to more netizens. I like to use art content that I often read as text, paired with familiar classical music, to explain Italian travel information to everyone in a vivid and emotional way.
I posted the carefully crafted short video to my account and gained the support and love of many fans. Many people find me to customize their travel plans and ask me to take them on group trips, and they are even more fond of my small, boutique tours.
(I proposed to my girlfriend)
I have been in Italy for 11 years. I like the ancient buildings that can be seen everywhere in Italy, the open natural scenery, delicious ham, red wine, ice cream, and the relaxed pace of life.
Last year, I got married to my girlfriend of 10 years. We worked hard together in Italy and now have a house and a car. Our life is very ordinary, but I am very satisfied because this is the best state I have at the moment.
In the future, I have no plans to stay in Italy. As for where I will go and what I will do, I have no specific plans. Rather than planning for the future, I prefer to live in the present and work hard to make myself better while having a career.
As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome. In the journey of life, everyone desires to become an excellent person. The key is to be good at discovering one's own strengths and advantages, and working hard to explore one's own potential. As long as you do it, you will have good results.

Last year, I got married to my girlfriend of 10 years. We worked hard together in Italy and now have a house and a car. Our life is very ordinary, but I am very satisfied because this is the best state I have at the moment. In the future, I have no plans to stay in Italy. As for where I will go and what I will do, I have no specific plans. Rather than planning for the future, I prefer to live in the present and work hard to make myself better while having a career. As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome. In the journey of life, everyone desires to become an excellent person. The key is to be good at discovering one's own strengths and advantages, and working hard to explore one's own potential. As long as you do it, you will have good results.
