Vol V Chapter 39
The students were discussing.
It made Anxin feel a chill in her heart.
But she knew.
This was his only chance.
The few of them placed the instruments properly.
He looked at the other three and said softly,"Good luck."
"Good luck."
The other three nodded vigorously.
He sat in front of the guzheng in peace.
She gently stroked the strings.
He felt the life of this instrument.
He imagined the scene of her first meeting with this violin.
That was more than ten years ago.
In these ten years.
She smiled because she was practicing the piano.
He also cried while practicing the piano.
In the past ten years.
She never stopped.
Her fingers were covered in calluses, and her heart was filled with guzheng.
She thought.
As long as she practiced hard.
He would become an excellent guzheng performer in the future.
But all these years.
She realized that the guzheng was getting more and more unpleasant.
She realized that no one cared about folk music anymore.
Even when her classmates found out that she was learning folk music, not only did they not praise her, but they also laughed at her for being old-fashioned.
She was completely disheartened.
She left the zither at home.
Cover it with cloth.
He didn't want to touch it again.
Until a few days ago.
Until the stage of 'The Son of Tomorrow.'
The man used folk music and sang a Chinese style song. She suddenly regained her confidence. She found the other three students in the class who studied folk music and rehearsed for two days and nights. She wanted to represent the class in the school anniversary celebration.
She wanted to do it in front of the entire school.
Play a song Luzhou Moon with guzheng.
She wanted everyone to know.
Folk music.
Never withered.
Folk music.
Nor will it wither.
……
The counselor was still unhappy.
She stood at the side.
He crossed his arms.
His eyes were filled with hatred and dissatisfaction.
Zhang Kaile stood beside the counselor and said,"Pretty Sister, if they do well, will you let them go on stage?”
She heard the puppy's voice.
Counselor Deng Lin didn't even think and said directly,""Don't worry, you'll definitely be the ones to step onto the stage of the school's anniversary celebration.”
"En en!"
"Thank you, beautiful sister." Zhang Kaile nodded repeatedly.”
In this way.
The counselor was even more pleased.
Zhang Kaile was also very happy.
Because the anniversary celebration of Green Bird University was too grand.
One main campus and four sub-campus would participate in the school anniversary.
The main campus had a total of 40,000 seats.
Each of the four sub-campus had 30,000 seats.
At that time.
Many university students arrived.
They filled the seats in every campus.
In other words.
As long as he stepped onto the school's anniversary stage.
160,000 people would see their performance.
It might become popular all of a sudden.
When Zhang Kaile's face was filled with excitement.
The performance of Anxin and the other two officially began.
The sound of the zither playing appeared first.
The zither followed closely behind.
As soon as these two voices that were filled with history and age appeared, the noise at the scene instantly disappeared.
Everyone looked at Anxin and the others in disbelief.
This…
Was it the sound of folk music?
How could it be so beautiful!
After the prelude ended.
She played the zither peacefully.
She sang.
The lyrics of the Luzhou Moon matched the sound of the zither. Like a small bridge and flowing water, they flowed through the entire rehearsal hall.
People closed their eyes and enjoyed the moment.
Listening to the beautiful melody.
He felt the artistic conception of the lyrics.
He was intoxicated.
It was extremely dreamy.
In fact…
After the performance ended.
Most people were still immersed in it.
The applause was endless and extremely enthusiastic.
Zhang Kaile reacted immediately and said to the counselor beside him,"Sis, Sis, stop clapping. Do you still count on what you promised me just now?”
"Ahhhh?"
Deng Lin finally stopped. After hesitating for a moment, she said,"Yes, of course it counts. When have I ever gone back on my word?”
After saying that.
She waved her hand.
He was ready to speak.
However, the applause did not stop.
Deng Lin could only wait helplessly.
About three to four minutes passed.
The applause finally stopped.
Deng Lin cleared her throat and said," Don't worry. Your performance was not bad, but the melody was too sad. It wasn't cheerful at all!”
"The most important thing is that the folk music you guys are playing is outdated. No one wants to watch it now. It's not suitable for the school anniversary at all. So, I'm sorry, but I've decided to let Zhang Kaile and the others participate in the school anniversary.”
As soon as he said this.
The entire class was in an uproar.
It was no exaggeration to say that.
The performance of " Luzhou Moon " by An Xin and the other three had already won over most of the class.
They all thought.
This performance would definitely make it to the school anniversary.
However, he did not expect the counselor to still choose Zhang Kaile.
Anxin's eyes instantly turned red.
He had lost.
He lost again.
They rehearsed day and night, striving for the best, but in the end, they still lost?
And what made An Xin feel the most uncomfortable was…
The counselor rejected them.
They even insulted the folk music that they had played since elementary school.
This was the reason why Anxin's eyes were red.
The other three also had red eyes and forced smiles.
They looked at their instruments in loneliness.
The loneliness on his face became more obvious.
"Mentor!"
At this moment.
Suddenly, a boy in the class stood up and said,"Isn't it a little inappropriate for you to do this?”
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
As soon as he said that.
The whole class looked at the boy who spoke.
Counselor Deng Lin was even more dissatisfied and said,"Yuan Chao, what do you mean?"
The boy sneered and said," I only have three questions. If you can answer them, then I'll apologize to you. If you can't answer them, then let Anxin and the others attend the school anniversary."”
"Firstly."
"What do you think is outstanding about Zhang Kaile's program? Could it be that a group of men wearing heavy makeup and singing and dancing is the highlight of our class?”
"Second."
"You said that Anxin's program sounds too sad and isn't suitable for the school anniversary. Does that mean that the school anniversary program has to be cheerful and choose songs like 'Good Luck Comes' and 'Good Days'?”
"Third."
"You said that folk music is backward, that folk music is old-fashioned. Folk music can't represent our class in the school anniversary, and folk music isn't suitable for the school anniversary. I just want to ask, how is folk music backward? Do you think that this kind of musical instrument that has been passed down in China for thousands of years is old-fashioned and can't keep up with the trend?”
Three questions from the boy.
Deng Lin was rendered speechless.
He didn't know how to reply.
At this moment.
Zhang Kaile, who was standing next to Deng Lin, said,"Yuan Chao, are you interesting? Are you just envious that we're so handsome and that we can go on stage? If you want to join, you can tell me. Is there a need to be so sour here?”
"Join?"
"Haha!"
Yuan Chao actually laughed and said,"I'm sorry, I'm a man.”
Zhang Kaile was stunned.
For a moment.
He did not react in time.
After he reacted, he said angrily,"What do you mean? Who are you calling a man?"
"Is there a need to ask this question?" Yuan Chao chuckled. Look at yourself in the mirror first, then look at the boys in our class. Isn't it obvious who doesn't look like a man?”
Zhang Kaile was even more furious.
The counselor quickly reached out to stop him and said coldly,"Alright, Yuan Chao! Zhang Kaile is bringing glory to our class. He is our class 'hero. I really don't understand.”
After saying that.
Counselor Deng Lin looked at Anxin and said,""Alright, I have the final say on this matter. Don't worry. Your program didn't pass, and the folk music is too backward. It can't be on the school anniversary. This matter ends here. No one in the class is allowed to discuss it!”
Pa da.
To Anxin.
At this moment.
The world stopped.
She seemed to hear the sound of her own tears falling.
The counselor completely ignored it.
She turned around and left.
He did not want to stay in this place for even a second longer.
However, just as she reached the door.
He was blocked by a figure.
Deng Lin raised her head to look at the newcomer and hurriedly said,""Secretary, why are you here?"
The secretary walked straight into the rehearsal hall and said,"Fortunately, I passed by. Otherwise, we would have lost a wonderful program for the school anniversary.”
Deng Lin was puzzled.
The secretary turned to look at Deng Lin and said,"As a counselor, you should pay attention to your words. I don't understand why you would say such words in front of the children. You are on this land, how can you despise the civilization born on this land?”
"You are twenty-six or twenty-seven years old this year, but why are you more old-fashioned than me? Do you know what the song that the children just played is called?”
Deng Lin shook her head.
The secretary continued," This song is called 'Luzhou Moon'. It was born on a stage called' The Son of Tomorrow.'This song uses a variety of ethnic instruments such as guzheng and guqin. It has already caused a huge impact and sensation.”
"This is the strength of our nation."
"It's the power of our country's five thousand years of civilization.”
"It is also the most precious treasure left behind by our ancestors.”
"But in your eyes."
" They only represent old."
"It only represents falling behind."
"It only represents old-fashioned."
"Ha!"
"This is really unexpected."
Deng Lin stood at the side. The more she listened, the more afraid she became. She wanted to explain something, but she did not know how to start.
The secretary waved his hand and said," Alright, you don't have to say anything to me. I can't be bothered to listen to your explanation. The academy will hold a meeting to deal with your matter. If you have any reasons, you can defend yourself at that time."”
After saying that.
The secretary glanced at the heavily made-up male students and said earnestly,"Children, men should act like men!”
"What is a man?"
"An indomitable man who guards the country through life and death. This is a man!”
"Straighten your back, strengthen your character, and fight against the hardships of life. This is a man!”
"Wearing a military uniform, risking his life for the country and the people, not afraid of sacrifice, this is a man!”
"What about you guys?"
"Which one are you?"
"I hope you can reflect on this!”
"I don't want those who come out of our school to be weak and fawning people. They are all people who dare to do things but don't dare to admit it!”
