Liu Hai took the 11:30 train. He got off the bus and went straight to the ticket office of the train station. Fortunately, the Internet was not developed at this time, so Liu Hai did not attract too much attention. This was an era where people relied on their abilities. The songs were famous, but the people were not. Many people knew the songs of this era and knew who sang them. However, most of them could not recognize the original singer unless they were people who paid special attention to them.
The 1990s was a world of recordings. It was common to have millions or tens of millions of copies sold. This was not even considered pirated copies. However, in a few years, the internet would be developed. If a record could sell for a million copies, it would be at the level of a king or queen of songs. Liu Hai wanted to catch up with this last train and push himself out. He wanted the world to brand him as a capable singer. With a solid foundation, even if he did something out of line, people would forgive him.
No matter which world it was, China was one of the most populated countries, but it was also the country with the most population movements. At this moment, the train station was filled with people from all over the world. From time to time, people dressed in ethnic clothes could be seen gathering together. It was unknown what they were talking about. Sometimes they were shouting, sometimes they were singing and dancing.
The train station was a new train station that had just been built two years ago. The facilities inside could be considered first-class internationally. On the square outside, there were fountains, flowers, and slogans that said that Kyoto welcomed you. The square was filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants. To be honest, this place was built in a very Chinese architectural style. It was antique but modern.
Liu Hai squeezed into the train and found his seat. When the train started moving, Liu Hai found that the corridor of the carriage was already filled with people. Some were sitting, while others were on the ground. At this time, the country had not issued a ban on smoking in the carriage. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Liu Hai to see the smoky scene in the carriage.
Being close to home, this was Liu Hai's current reflection. He had left for more than six years. He didn't know if Uncle Liu still remembered him or if his nominal godfather could recognize him. He didn't know if Uncle Liu still remembered that the boy he picked up at the county train station had grown up. Although his bangs weren't the same bangs, he still had deep feelings for the hometown where he grew up. This was a feeling that was engraved in his bones.
Liu Hai looked at the night scene that flashed through the glass window. He did not know when his tears had flowed out. When he was young, he had lost his parents. He had grown up with only himself to comfort himself. He had just joined the job and was sent to the juvenile detention center. When he came out, he was bullied again. He could only silently add to his own wounds. Without connections, it was really difficult to move forward.
However, Liu Hai did not know that the Central TV building's meeting room was still brightly lit. All the neatly dressed leaders were smoking and not saying a word. Occasionally, the sound of drinking water could be heard. Zhang Tianqiao looked at everyone who was not saying anything and did not know what to say. Regarding the incident that had happened to the program, he had already reported it to the station's leaders before the meeting. Now, he was waiting for the results of the staff's investigation. Of course, the investigation was directed at the judges and not Jia Xu's faking. This was what Xing Yuze emphasized at the meeting. Fortunately, Jia Xu did not mention this matter in public, or else the execution platform would not have vigorously investigated the jury.
The sound of the conference room door being pushed open broke the silence in the room. A staff member walked in from outside the door. He looked at the leaders around the conference table, then walked to Boss Shi Keran's side. He bent down and whispered into Boss Shi's ear for a while. Boss Shi's face turned pale and dark. Finally, he thought for a while and waved at the staff member beside him. He sighed and said to everyone,"I'm also clear about the matter. Although it's not our station's responsibility, what happened right under your noses has caused a bad impact on the people. This is not a small incident! Where is your emergency plan? Little Zhang, tell me about it."
Zhang Tianqiao didn't know who was behind this, but since the leader didn't say anything, there must be a reason for it. He looked around and was about to stand up, but he saw Shi Tai gesturing for him to sit down. He nodded slightly to Shi Tai and said,"I'm in charge of this program, so I'm the main person in charge. I can accept whatever punishment the station gives me, but the most important thing right now is to hope that when the media reports on it, they can try to focus on something else, avoid our station's responsibility, or reduce our station's influence in the article. For example, why Liu Hai is so ostracized by musicians, what are the criteria for evaluating musicians, and also about Liu Hai saying on the program that he wants to release an album. We want to make the bangs red to cover up the incident on the show. Of course, it's impossible to block it. So my suggestion is to give the media more news resources, such as photos or videos. Also, regarding the bangs, I hope he won't complain!”
After Zhang Tianqiao finished speaking, he looked at President Shi. Seeing that he did not say anything and was just sitting in his seat and waiting, Shi Keran thought for a while and said,"I think Director Zhang's words are feasible and the best way to deal with this matter. Currently, there are 23 media outlets with the most influence. Everyone here, including me, will have four media outlets each. We will strive to not report anything that isn't important in tomorrow's media reports. The news resources provided to the media will be provided by Director Zhang. As for how to appease the contestants, Director Zhang, you should talk to him first and explain the stakes clearly. I don't think he will spout nonsense, and he won't dare to say it either.”
At 6:20 in the morning, Liu Hai got off the bus in Mingyang County, Shanxi Province. Liu Hai stood at the exit for a long time without moving. Liu Hai had been to this place three times. The first time was when he was carried back to the village by the old village chief Liu Yongqiang because he lost his parents. The second time was when Liu Hai secretly took the train from this place to Shaolin Temple. The third time was when Liu Hai came back now.
Liu Hai looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar place, and he felt a lot of emotions in his heart. When he left, it was Liu Hai, but the one who returned was not him.
The refreshing air, the bright sun, and a breeze made Liu Hai feel particularly comfortable. Occasionally, he heard a few peddlers shouting, and it was especially harmonious. There were not many people getting off the bus in this small county. Soon, Liu Hai was the only one left at the exit of the station. A few plastic bags were floating in the wind under Liu Hai's feet. From time to time, there were also a few people who came to do business.
Liu Hai walked to a newspaper stand by the street and glanced at the contents of the newspaper. He realized that it was from the day before yesterday. Yesterday's newspaper had not been published yet.
" Sir, when can I see today's newspaper?" Liu Hai asked an old man who was reading the newspaper at the newspaper stand.
"Today's newspaper won't be published for two or three days. Young man, are you from another city?”The grandpa laughed and said,
"No, I'm a local. I just got off the train and was about to go home."
" Okay, it's good to go home." The grandpa looked at the train station in front of him, sighed, and left. Liu Hai could feel that the old man was waiting for someone. The disappointed look in the old man's eyes when he turned around and left left a deep impression on Liu Hai.
He was so envious of this gaze. He also hoped that someone would care about him and nag at him. He hoped that he could see such a gaze paying attention to him. Dad, Mom, where are you!
Ming Yang County was a relatively remote place. Although the railway transportation was developed, there were very few resources here. People relied on the fields to survive and had no other source of income. The traffic in the county town was basically from the county town, causing the people's concept of life to be relatively backward. Now that it was the late 1990s, there were shops on the streets that had " People's Bathing "," People's Shopping Mall "," People's Square "...
Liu Hai looked at the distinctive signs of this era and felt as if he had returned to his childhood. It had been seven or eight years, but the county town had not changed much. The only change was that the patches on people's clothes were much fewer, and their faces were much rosier. Liu Hai walked to the bus station according to his memory. It would take more than an hour to drive from the county town to Heliu Village.
Liu Hai was carrying his backpack and waiting for the bus with some unfamiliar people by the roadside. It was probably because Liu Hai was tall and handsome and dressed well, so people would look at him from time to time. Although Liu Hai was dressed more ordinarily in light gray sportswear, which was the most common in Beijing, he stood out in Ming Yang County.
" Hai... Hai Zi..." A female voice came from the side. Liu Hai did not notice it. Although he heard someone calling his name, he still thought it was just an illusion. After walking for six or seven years, who would still remember him? Liu Hai lowered his head and listened to the song in the earpiece. Only the song could calm his heart.
" Haizi " Liu Xiaohua was preparing to go home today. After graduating from technical secondary school, she started working in a hardware factory in the county town. She was the only technical secondary school student in their village. Someone in the village sent him a message saying that his second brother was going on a blind date tomorrow and asked her to come back to see him. However, when he applied for leave from the factory and rushed over, he saw a man who was very familiar. He had a black face and a short stature. He had changed into tattered clothes. If he hadn't seen the black spot beside Liu Hai's ear... She didn't even dare to call out Hai Zi.
Liu Hai heard it clearly this time. Someone was calling him. He slowly turned his head and saw a familiar face. He shut his mouth tightly and his eyes were mesmerized. He suppressed the name in his heart. A distant memory surged in his mind. This girl was the same age as him and had grown up with him since he was young. She would save the girl for him if there was good food.
" Hua…Hua 'er, you…" When Liu Hai called out this name, tears finally flowed out. Although Liu Hai's mouth was still tightly shut, one could still hear the sobs in his throat.
Liu Xiaohua covered her mouth when she heard the word " flowers ". She trembled and didn't know what to say. The small bag in her hand fell to the ground. She fell to the ground, her head between her legs, and her shoulders kept moving. Liu Hai walked to her side and picked up Liu Xiaohua's bag that had fallen to the ground. At this moment, Liu Hai's nose was sore. He suppressed the sound that was about to come out of his mouth and pulled Liu Xiaohua out of the crowd.
Not far away, Liu Xiaohua finally cried. As he cried, he said,"Hai Zi, where did you go…"
" I…I…" Liu Hai didn't know what to say, and she didn't know how to comfort Hua Er either. They looked at each other, letting tears flow down their faces.
"Hai…Hai Zi, where did you go? Liu Xiaohua's cries gradually became softer, but when she mentioned her second uncle, Liu Hai's mind buzzed. All the memories came out of his mind like a movie. Liu Hai did not know about this memory. It was as if it was sealed away. Liu Xiaohua's words swept it away.
"How…how is my godfather?" Liu Hai had lost his mind. He kept waving the flowers with both hands. The passersby stopped and surrounded him, but Liu Hai did not seem to see it. He stared at Liu Xiaohua and asked.
At this moment, Liu Xiaohua also noticed that many people were surrounding her. She pushed Liu Hai's hand away and quickly said," Second Uncle is fine. He's fine." After saying that, she dragged her bangs and stumbled out.
