Master Yu Chengqing once again sparked a wave of public opinion on June 18, in a photo, he affectionately embraced rows of new New Balance, his eyes were full of protection and reluctance to protect the memory of youth, as if he was defending his beloved treasure, and the childlike persistence was moving.
With the theme of "Breaking Away", he poured out the 20 years that New Balance has walked with him, and every step and every pair of shoes carries the traces of time.
His love for shoes can be seen. Each pair is meticulously cared for as good as new, with a clean and flawless sole, as if each classic is a work of art, and if it is auctioned, it is sure to attract many collectors. Looking back on the past, the "break-up" in 2011, under his mother's "order", he reluctantly cleaned the shoe cabinet, and that childish grievance, now I think about it, is also an interesting talk in life.
Since then, his portfolio has expanded, and shoes are no longer decorations on shoe racks, but part of his living space, as if the earth is their real stage. Every time you dry your shoes, it is a pious tribute to your shoes, as if each pair of shoes has the dignity of its existence, down-to-earth and real.
If 2011 was a "break-up" due to his mother's fate, then now, Yu Chengqing's sea of shoes is more like his persistence and persistence in love. New Balance is not only his combat boots, but also a unique symbol in his emotional world, witnessing his growth from a young boy to a mature uncle. This may be the inseparable emotional bond between him and shoes.
Yu Chengqing's love for New Balance has long been beyond the ordinary, and he is known as a shoe collector, as early as 1999, the brand was little known in Chinese mainland, and was only available in certain corners of Shanghai and Beijing.
It is conceivable how much effort and effort Yu Chengqing put into order to have that pair of favorite sneakers. For him, every pair of New Balance is a precious memory, how can he give it up so easily?
In 2013, Yu Chengqing even gave his eponymous shoes to Jinchi, the pair of green and white intertwined shoes, like a symbol of youth, indeed worthy of the reputation of "eternal youth shoes". In his daily life, whether it is sharing on Weibo or starting a personal brand, his love for shoes is everywhere.
In 2012, he personally ran an advertising shoot and invited Cai Kangyong and Xie Na to join him, just to promote his brand, but even so, his love for New Balance has always been the same.
Interestingly, from Yu Chengqing's Weibo feed, we learned about the other side of shoes - the fragility that moisture can bring. Although the shoes placed in Taipei's home sometimes inevitably resurge, Yu Chengqing's optimism and humor make this care for shoes reveal a childlike innocence. His passion and financial resources have undoubtedly provided him with endless support in pursuing this unique hobby.
In general, Yu Chengqing is not only a shoe control, but also an explorer in life, and his love for shoes is like treating every detail in life, full of innocence and perseverance. His story makes people marvel at his love and persistence for things, as well as his undying passion for beautiful things.
In recent years, a rare act of "breaking away" has quietly staged, and although it is slightly restrained compared to the previous pageant, it still caused quite a stir in the crowd, especially for those who are loyal fans of New Balance, as if they have witnessed a classic time lapse, and they are so emotional that they may not have come across such a rich shoe collection in their lives.
Netizens have called for Yu Chengqing, the godfather of music, and there are many sincere voices of scholars - their young wish is to be lucky enough to receive a pair of footprints of this artist. Obviously, Yu Chengqing's generosity has long exceeded our imagination, and this call is not groundless, but comes from a real gift experience.
However, the depth of Mr. Yu Chengqing's shoes even made netizens jokingly compare them to centipede feet, and the number is amazing. Imagine that no matter how much he owned, the uniqueness of each pair of shoes might make it difficult for him to perceive subtle changes. If it were me, in the face of such a huge shoe array, I am afraid I would not be able to remember them one by one.
This "renunciation" incident is not only the embodiment of personal life philosophy, but also a wonderful interweaving of emotions and materials, which triggers people's deep thinking about cherishing and sharing.
