Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 656: The Song That Penetrates the Soul
The gorgeous stage briefly went dark.

And on the live broadcast screen, the name of the program has already appeared - the song "As Wish".

Lyricist/Music: Zhou Hao
Singer: Xu Lingyue
Supporting singers: Students from Siyuan Village Primary School
Seeing this list of performances, many people felt their scalps tingling.

Siyuan Village Primary School? ! !
Is this the school where Zhou Hao taught back then?

He actually brought those kids to the Spring Festival Gala stage?!

The stage gradually lit up, and lead singer Xu Lingyue appeared in the center of the stage.

What surprised everyone was that... this time she didn't wear any fancy performance costumes, nor did she put on heavy makeup. Instead, she wore a very retro plaid jacket and a pair of thick wide-rimmed glasses.

If you look at this look alone, you might be a little confused, but when you see the dozens of children in neat school uniforms behind her... you will immediately understand.

This is a COS volunteer teacher, paying tribute to her husband!
Many audience members in the audience and countless people in front of the TV couldn't help but smile.

This young couple really knows how to have fun!

At this time, Lao Zhou and Li Guiqin, who were sitting in the audience, had red eyes again.

For them, this show means a lot.

The lead singer is their daughter-in-law.

Those children at the back were all raised and educated by Zhou Hao... They were almost like his own children!
With the beautiful accompaniment, Xu Lingyue picked up the microphone.

"You are a long way away

Lamps in the foggy mountains

I am a child

Walking in your eyes"

As soon as the first sentence came out, countless audiences' eyes widened instantly.

Holy shit…really turning on the mic?!

What the hell is going on? ! !
Up to now in today's evening show, almost all the singing and dancing programs have been pre-recorded, completely avoiding any room for error.

Only in this show, Xu Lingyue actually spoke on the microphone?

The pitch adjusted on the spot, the clearly audible breathing sounds...this is not the effect that should be achieved by pre-recording at all!
But Xu Lingyue’s current singing skills are not at all afraid of such challenges, and her voice is so steady that it is frightening.

Behind her, dozens of little kids held hands, swaying their bodies left and right in an alternating pattern, humming along to the rhythm of the melody.

"……Who are you

Bright Moon and Fresh Breeze
I am the dream you take care of

Whether you see it or not, it’s a lifetime

Hug you..."

On the stage background screen, the heroic figures who were recorded in history began to flash alternately. They recorded every step of the Republic's growth with their blood.

“And I will

Love the world you love
wish your smile
I'm holding your hand hobblingly
Please take me to tomorrow..."

Dozens of children sang at the same time to accompany Xu Lingyue.

The children's clear voices have the power to cleanse the heart and shake the soul. Combined with the lyrics, it made many people's eyes tear up.

"if we assume
You've been bitter, my sweet

I want to live your wish

I hope it's not in vain.
Willing to go forward

Every day in this prosperous age..."

At the beginning of the second part of the song, the content on the stage screen suddenly changed and turned into a dilapidated rural primary school.

Many viewers who watched the TV series "The Road to the Sun" recognized it at first glance. This is Siyuan Village Primary School!
Then, pictures began to flash across the screen.

The shabby classrooms, uneven desks and chairs, and the dirty little kids...

Just from this set of photos, everyone immediately understood how bad the teaching environment was for Zhou Hao.

The Long River of Time
sky lit up with stars

I am a looker

I will sing you into a song..."

At the beginning of the second paragraph, the lead singer became the children in the back, and Xu Lingyue sang softly with her ethereal voice, accompanying the children.

On the stage screen, the photos were gradually becoming sunny. The children were wearing clean clothes and sitting in a tidy classroom, listening to the lecture attentively, while Zhou Hao was standing by the blackboard and giving a lecture.

At that time, he was still wearing wide-rimmed glasses and had a silly and rustic look on his face.

In the next photo, he is playing Eagle Catches Chicken with a group of little kids on the playground. He plays the role of the eagle himself, opens his arms and laughs loudly, like a child king.

In the next photo, the classroom was completely destroyed by the violent storm. Zhou Hao rolled up his trouser legs and led a group of children to rescue the classroom...

Seeing this, Zhou Jianhua and Li Guiqin in the audience finally couldn't hold it anymore.

They knew that their son’s teaching experience was very hard, but they only knew that it was “very hard”. However, this set of photos finally made them understand what kind of environment their son had endured for six full years!

"... and I will

Love the world you love
wish your smile
I'm holding your hand hobblingly
Please take me to tomorrow..."

The children's singing is obviously not as rigorous as that of professional singers. It seems a little awkward, and one can even hear some signs of being out of tune.

But it is precisely this deviation that gives everyone an inexplicable feeling of being moved.

Because it's real, children's singing, it's the way it should be!
At this point, everyone finally understood why this is the only program that has to have a real microphone, it is to convey the most authentic voices of these children!
The stage background was no longer Zhou Hao, but someone else - all the volunteer teachers from Siyuan Village Primary School flashed across the screen one by one.

Although they have no names or surnames, after this night, countless people across the country will remember them, and it won't be long before their names and archival information appear where they should be.

Zhou Hao also used this method to fulfill his promise that year - you just stay here to teach, I won’t let you be buried here!

“…I will also
See the world you have never seen

Write poems you haven’t written yet

The Moon in the Sky
Thoughts in my heart
you will always be by my side
meet you
A life as clear as your young face..."

In the last section, Xu Lingyue took the microphone again to lead the singing, and her ethereal voice made people's scalps tingle.

The stage background behind has become a group photo of countless faces.

There are those familiar heroes, those migrant workers who are struggling in their jobs, some volunteer teachers, and a group of innocent children...

These faces gathered together form a roadmap for the inheritance of the spark, which once again calls for the purpose of "Inheritance".

At the end of the show, Xu Lingyue turned around, took the children's hands, and bowed to the stage to express her gratitude.

There was immediate applause from the audience.

As expected, the online live streaming platform has exploded again.

"It's so beautiful, and so tear-jerking!"

"This song is already very nice, and with the children's chorus, it's a stroke of genius!"

“The singing of these children can penetrate the soul!”

"Teacher Zhou is really... I don't know how to praise him anymore."

"Those haters say every day that he abandoned the children of Siyuan Village, why are they silent now?"

"Fuck, I just listened to a song and it made me cry again!"

"Those photos are so touching. It's really not easy for these volunteer teachers..."

"Damn, I decided to become a volunteer teacher after graduation!"

"Brother, good job!"

"It makes me want to go too..."
