When Liu Hai walked out of Huayu District, he saw many old people sitting on both sides of the door. Some were chatting, while others were quietly watching the pedestrians passing by. It was as if they were reminiscing about their past lives and waiting for their loved ones to return.
In the first 20 years, we ate, slept, played, and enjoyed life. For the next 40 years, he had to run around to support his family. And for the last ten years, he would squat at the door every day and greet the passersby…
Liu Hai stopped and looked at the scene as if he had returned to his previous life. He often saw such a scene on the streets, but he did not feel as much as he did now.
The streets of Beijing in the 1990s were not as wide as those in the later era. There were no isolation strips or traffic lights. Walking on the street, one could go to the opposite street anytime and anywhere. In this era, there were still fewer motor vehicles on the street. Most people traveled by bicycle. Cyclists became a unique sight in the city in the 1990s. Foreigners who came to Beijing often stopped to watch this unique feature.
Sweet, sweet, sweet smile
Like flowers blooming in the spring breeze
Blooming in the spring breeze
Where have I seen you before?
Your smile is so familiar
escapes me for the moment
Ah ~~ In my dream
I've seen you in my dreams
Sweet smile, how sweet
It's you ~ It's you ~ I dreamed of you
Where have I seen you before?
Your smile is so familiar
escapes me for the moment
Ah ~~ In my dream
This…this was Teresa Teng's song. This was the only familiar song Liu Hai had heard since he came to this world. The original owner came from the countryside and had been studying and working in the Shaolin Temple. At the same time, she did not have a hobby of singing, so she did not know much about the inside story of the singing world.
When Liu Hai heard this song, he felt as if he had met a confidant in a foreign land. After more than two years of listening to his fellow prisoners talk about their unknown history, Liu Hai always felt that he was out of place in this world.
This song," Sweet Honey," was the song that made Teresa Teng famous. In November 1979, the first hit song of the album " Sweet Honey," released by Polygold Company, sold more than a million copies that year. It was one of the three platinum albums that Teresa Teng received in 1979!
Following the song, Liu Hai arrived at the Xinhua Bookstore. This was the largest bookstore in the country and had the most complete collection of books. In the middle of the first floor hall, Liu Hai looked at the map. The first floor was for audio and video, the second floor was for science and technology, the third floor was for literature, and the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors were all for learning tools. This was the place where young talents gathered the most. It was also the place where young people dated and fell in love.
In the first level of the audio and video world, Liu Hai's mouth never closed. What was wrong with this world? The song 'Sweet Honey' was not sung by Teresa Teng, but by a female singer from Taiwan called Zhang Hua. Teresa Teng, Qi Qu, Qi Yu, and the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong could not be found on the audio and video shelves.
As a music major in a film academy, he was naturally very familiar with the history of music. Moreover, Liu Hai had been singing in bars for more than 20 years in his previous life. He had studied directing but had not directed many television movies. However, his major had become the source of his income. This was a kind of irony to his ideals.
The ideals of the future would always meet at the corner of life. Liu Hai had this feeling as he crawled forward on the road of life without any dignity. Until he came to this world unconsciously, Liu Hai did not understand the two words that had weighed heavily on him for his entire life.
As Liu Hai thought about it, he looked through the album's catalog one by one. Other than this song," Sweet Honey," he did not find a single song that he was familiar with.
Gao Min was a second-year student at the Central Conservatory of Music. She had come to Xinhua Bookstore today for the album " Sweet Honey " sung by Zhang Hua. However, the only album in the store was held by the boy in front of her. She didn't know if he wanted to buy it or not. He held it casually and kept muttering as he walked. From time to time, he made exaggerated expressions.
Gao Min couldn't keep peeking. After all, Liu Hai was a handsome man who was 1.80 meters tall. Not to mention his well-defined face, his fair skin was not inferior to hers. If it weren't for his tall figure, Gao Min would definitely think that he was a sissy.
You said he should put it down, but he didn't buy it even after watching it for so long. Gao Min looked anxiously at the album in Liu Hai's hand, and her cold face revealed a rare desire and anxiety.
" Huaxia Golden Songs Collection ". This was not bad. Liu Hai picked up a small album box and put down Zhang Hua's album in his hand. However, just as he put it down, a fair hand reached out and quickly took it away. A soft feeling came from Liu Hai's back. He turned around and looked at Gao Min for a moment before never leaving. Wasn't this Liu Yifei? She was wearing a light yellow dress, had a slim figure, a baby fat face, and cold eyes. She was holding the album that he had just put down.
" You…you…" Liu Hai's brain was stuck.
"If you let it go, it means that you've given up. Thank you!”Gao Min said shyly. After saying that, she turned around and walked away in a hurry. Liu Hai clearly saw the sly smile on her face when she turned around. This was Liu Yifei! She was a superstar that she looked up to in her previous life, but this didn't make sense. Wasn't Liu Yifei still studying in America? It was impossible for her to have such a tall figure. Wasn't she still a child? But... Liu Hai watched Gao Min leave and shook his head. This world has really become unreasonable.
There were more than 30 singers and nearly 100 songs. This was what Liu Hai needed right now. Liu Hai took the album and bought a guitar with a decent tone from the guitar store next door. He spent 400 yuan on a Walkman from the electronics store next door.
It was nice. To be honest, these songs were indeed classics of the temple. They were not inferior to the songs of the other world.
An unfamiliar song, an unfamiliar crowd, an unfamiliar world. Liu Hai felt abandoned by this world. Listening to the music on the CD, Liu Hai could only rely on music now.
Now that he thought about it, he was a little lost. He did not know how to face this unfamiliar place. His life plans were overturned by reality time and time again. Life was like a drama, and drama was like life. You would never know what the next plot would be.
Liu Hai carried his guitar on his back and walked through the crowd of people. Everyone's footsteps were in the same direction. No one stopped for anyone, and no one thought for anyone, because everyone had their own world.
A faint singing came from the subway tunnel. People gathered around to watch. The singing was a little childish and the voice was not very pleasant, but the people around them still watched quietly. When the bangs went in, they saw a girl about 13 or 14 years old holding a faded guitar and singing softly.
Where are the people who love me?
Don't wander around and come home with me
The outside world is windy
Don't bite the bullet
Where are the people who love me?
You should have changed your mind a long time ago
Youth is waiting to be unrestrained
Waiting for you, wishing you to come home
Whether they are green leaves or flowers
My emotional intelligence, muah
Open your heart and comb your hair
This will always be your home
The lyrics were very beautiful, but from the mouth of a little girl, there was a kind of pity and inexplicable pain. He did not know how long he had played, but there were traces of blood on the strings and the piano board, reminding Liu Hai of his wandering singing life in his previous life.
In front of the little girl was a piece of paper written in childish handwriting. It turned out that the little girl's father was a wandering singer. He was sick and had no money to be hospitalized, so the little girl came out to sing to earn medical fees for her father.
From the looks of the people present, most of them were not listening to the song. How beautiful could a person who had yet to lose her childlike voice sing? However, everyone had a kind side. They were looking at this pitiful and helpless girl, a person who was still the same age as their child, who was working hard for a living.
Liu Hai took out two hundred blue bills from his trouser pocket and placed them in front of the little girl. He walked over and took his guitar. He faced the crowd and said,"Everyone is born with only half of their body. They walk the world in order to find their other half. Some people were lucky enough to find it quickly and live a happy life, but some people had to look for it for a lifetime. For such a young girl to be able to stand here and sing, there must be some unsolvable difficulties at home. Therefore, I'm singing a song for everyone here. I hope that everyone who has money can extend a warm hand to help her. Those who don't have money also hope to support the stage and give this little girl a little hope. Everyone had their own song, not because of how beautiful the melody was or how beautiful the lyrics were, but because the song was telling their story! A song,'Match Heaven', for everyone."
Walking in the cold and snowy night sky
Selling matches to feed my dreams
Freezing step by step, lonely step by step
Human feelings are cold, freezing my hands
A pack of matches burns my heart
The cold night can't stop me from moving forward
The wind stung my face, the snow cut my mouth
How long can I drag my feet
Who will buy my matches?
Who can ignite all the hopes
Who will buy my loneliness?
Who will come to fulfill my homesick call?
Every time I light a match, it shines a little
See hope, see dreams
I see my mother in the sky and speak
She said you must be brave, you must be strong
Don't be afraid, don't panic
Let you no longer have to wander
Every time I light a match, it shines a little
See hope, see dreams
I see my mother in the sky talking
She said you must be brave, you must be strong
Don't be afraid, don't panic
Let you no longer have to wander
Mama will hold your hand and go home
Sleeping in a warm, blooming paradise
Liu Hai had played and sung this song often in his previous life. He was very familiar with it because the matchstick girl resembled him.
Liu Hai closed his eyes and sang quietly. His cries, low voice, and sadness slowly filled the subway tunnel. More and more people gathered, almost blocking the tunnel. A tall boy accompanied a pitiful little girl to sing. It was as clear as black and white. The song was sad, but the person was even more sad.
Liu Hai sang, thinking about himself. He was an orphan who had never seen his parents. He missed his parents too. He wanted to hear his mother's nagging and experience his father's strictness. He had not enjoyed the love of family in both lifetimes. He also wanted to light a match so that he could see his dream and let his mother hold his hand and go home.
Liu Hai did not come back to his senses even after he got on the subway. A faint sadness hung on his face.
Gao Min was also on the subway at this moment. She looked at the boy who had helped the little girl collect money in the subway tunnel just now. That lonely figure and helpless tears lingered in her heart. He sang well and wrote well. Why hadn't she heard it before? Did he write it? Gao Min looked up at her bangs from time to time.
