蓝天和森林，

悠扬的乐曲，

白衬衫随风飘扬，

这些是三套车乐队短视频最显著的特点，处处洋溢着青春的模样。

四川泸州的这支乐队，由6名成员组成，最年轻的25岁，最年长的59岁，凭借在当地景点拍摄的短视频走红。自去年 9 月发布视频以来，他们已经在网络上吸引了近200万粉丝，其中一个视频的观看量达到了3500万次。网友留言，“他们演奏的不只是曲子，更是两代人的青春。”

The blue sky and the forest,

the beautiful music,

the white shirts fluttering along the breeze…

These are the distinctive features of the Santaoche (Three Motorbikes) Band.

The six-member band in Luzhou, Sichuan Province has grown popular for their videos shot on the local attractions. The youngest member is 25 and the oldest is 59. They have won nearly 2 million followers on the internet since last September when they published their first video, and one of the videos has been viewed 35 million times. As the viewer commented,"it's not just about music, but also about youth."

90后儿子让父辈乐队重启

The after-90s son: let's restart

三套车乐队的成立，源于3个不同行业年轻人对音乐的热爱。1998年，28岁的小提琴手杨纪春，29岁的吉他手赵风雷和35岁的萨克斯手易先明，相识并成立了乐队。为了演出方便，他们一人买了一辆摩托车，“三套车”的名字由此而来。此后，他们一起排练、一起演出，逐渐在当地小有名气。但随着时间流逝，“三套车”逐渐淡出大众视野。

In 1998, out of passion, Yang Jichun, the 28-year-old violinist; Zhao Fenglei, the 29-year-old guitarist; and Yi Xianming, the 35-year-old saxophonist met and established a band. To go to perform, every one of them bought a motorbike and there came the name of the band: "Santaoche"(Three Motorbikes). They rehearsed and performed together, and gradually grew famous among the locals. However, as time passed by, they distanced away from the public.

2020年8月，易先明的儿子易超与父亲的乐队好友赵风雷在阳台上闲聊。聊起父辈们的音乐情谊时，易超提议“要不给三套车开个新媒体号吧!”3个已经多年没有正式演奏过的老伙计当即同意。之后，当年的大提琴手杨纪红，以及新成员90后贝斯手聂正和钢琴手易超也陆续加入乐队。

In the August of 2020, Yi Chao, Yi Xianming's son was chatting with Zhao Fenglei on the balcony. When talking about their past days of music, Yi Chao suggested opening a social media account for the band. The three old guys, who had been away from the stage for years, agreed immediately. Yang Jihong, the previous violoncellist of the band; Nie Zheng, the new bass player; and Yi Chao, the pianist joined the band later.

音乐承载两代人的青春 

Viewers: music brings ourteenage days back

泸州张坝桂圆林，承载着三套车乐队早期的记忆，乐队最热门的几个视频几乎都在这里录制。三套车乐队的主打乐曲大部分是“80后”、“90后”们记忆中的影视金曲，或者如五月天、周杰伦、王心凌这样知名歌手的热门歌曲，许多粉丝在他们作品下留言：

“我觉得这个老年团好浪漫啊!”

“他们演奏的那些曲子就是我的青春”

“等咱们老了也这样吧，

你拉小提琴，我弹古筝……”

Zhangba longan forest in Luzhou is special to Santaoche Band as the most popular videos were mainly shot here. The band is featured in film and TV songs popular in the after 80s and after 90s, and the hot songs by famous singers like Mayday, Jay Chou and Cyndi Wang. The viewers commented, "these old guys are so romantic!""they've brought my teenage days back", "let's do this when we are old, you play the violin and I play the Chinese zither…"

“父亲这一代的粉丝看他们表演，会羡慕他们年轻积极的心态，忆起自己的年少时光;而我们这一代的粉丝则会在音乐里抓住正在溜走的青春。”易超说，做短视频的初衷其实是想给长辈们找一个一起演奏的地方，没想到会让两代人各自找到感动。

"The viewers at my father's age admire their passion and energy, and think of their teenager days; while people at our age will seize their youth with music", said Yi Chao. His original intention to make the short videos was to offer a platform for performance for the old guys. He didn't expect that it would move both generations.

未来计划 带上音乐去旅行 

Plan: to have a tour of music

下一步，三套车乐队，有个浪漫的计划——带着音乐去旅行，完成乐队成员年轻时的梦想。“下半年顺利的话，我们准备在全国进行旅拍，一路走一路演奏，哪里有漂亮的风景，就停下来演奏给大家，希望能通过音乐，展现旅途中遇见的一些地方特色和文化。”

Santaoche Band has a romantic plan: to complete their previous dream—have a tour of music. "If things go well, we plan to have a video-shooting tour around the country. We will play on our way and present the special local culture to viewers."
