Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 562: Theme Song of Bright Sword!
That's right, the song that Ximen Lang mentioned, which is a perfect match for Lao Li and his friends, is none other than the theme song of "Bright Sword".

Both the lyrics and the music are of the highest quality, especially the lyrics, which directly resonate with Ximen Lang's heart and perfectly match the Chinese military spirit that Ximen Lang admires!

Moreover, every time I listen to it, I have a different feeling each time.

In addition, the main characters of this drama are all here.

It's a perfect match, and Ximen Lang managed to put together this song on his own.

He praised it as he placed it.

"Look at these lyrics: if our motherland is invaded, patriotic men should stand up for themselves; drink this bowl of hometown wine dry, for the brave warriors will never return; and the rolling Yellow River and the mighty Yangtze River give me life and strength."

"It has a profound theme, is catchy, and perfectly suits our situation and culture. The language is also particularly concise and powerful. Add to that the stirring, magnificent, and powerful arrangement."

"Seriously, once you've heard it just once, you'll never forget it! What do you think, Lao Li, Lao Ding, Lao Kong, and Lao Zhao? Am I right? Doesn't this song perfectly match your requirements?"

It's not just matching, it's practically perfect!
Let alone Lao Zhao, a cultured man, even the rough and uncultured Lao Li, as well as Lao Ding and Lao Kong, who were not very cultured, fell in love with this song in an instant.

Old Li, in particular, felt more and more that the song was written just for him the more he thought about it.
No, not just *that*, this is tailor-made for me!
That's what he thought, and that's what he said.

Then, unsurprisingly, Lao Li was immediately looked down upon by Lao Kong and Lao Ding, who were practically rolling their eyes to the sky.

"Written especially for you? You're kidding me! You? You should take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Do you even deserve to say that? I could say this song was written especially for me!"

"Exactly! You see something good and want to pocket it all, without even looking at yourself! We haven't even said anything yet, and you dare to say that! You're truly shameless! You have no shame whatsoever!"

Good heavens, their back-and-forth banter was like knives aimed straight at Old Li's heart, almost breaking his defenses.

He saw that several people immediately looked down on him.

Although Lao Li also felt that he was being a bit too forward, he couldn't help but argue with Lao Ding and Lao Kong because he liked it so much.

"If you don't believe me, look at these lyrics. It always says that when two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave one wins. That's what I say every day! Old Ding, Old Kong, tell me honestly, haven't I said that I'll always draw my sword when facing an enemy?"

"I did say that, but so what?"

"What else? Those were my words!"

"Give me a break! If that's the case, then I've studied military strategy, so I'm the one who wrote it? You're shameless!"

Old Li's face turned bright red.

They were practically at Ximen Lang's doorstep.
"That's right, this song was written especially for you."

Ximen Lang swallowed the words back down his throat.

As long as the song is good and it's appropriate for the occasion, that's fine.

It doesn't matter at all.

They played the song several more times, which further deepened Lao Li and the others' impression of it.

And then, what else is there?

Without Ximen Lang even needing to say anything, Lao Li and the others immediately started singing along to the lyrics. Because the emotions were so genuine, Ximen Lang was immediately moved by the scene before him.

Looking at Lao Luo and the principal next to him, they were also filled with mixed feelings.

Riding on this momentum, Simon Lang once again reiterated to the principal and Lao Luo the importance of culture to a country and a nation.

"Take this song for example, and take me for example. Everyone should know what kind of person I am. I value my life very much, especially after I made my fortune and became rich through my hard work. I value my life more than anything else!"

"Because I have to enjoy it! I've worked so hard to build this huge fortune, I can't just let it all go! What's that saying again? The greatest tragedy in life is dying before you've spent all your money! That won't do!"

"Even if I spend all the money I've earned, I could never spend it all in this lifetime. But I can't just let it all disappear. I'm going to spend it all, enjoy all the riches of the world, and then continue to enjoy life!"

Good heavens, Bai Ling rolled her eyes so hard she wanted to roll them to the sky after hearing those words.

Even Lao Luo and the principal were quite shocked by Ximen Lang's astonishing candor.

For a moment, no one knew how to respond, so they could only awkwardly praise Ximen Lang for his true nature.

Then, changing the subject, Ximen Lang continued.

"But because I'm so afraid of death, I don't even dare to run red lights or go to the red-light district, for fear of catching some kind of venereal disease. When I hear this song, I can't help but feel an impulse to risk my life and shed blood, to put life and death aside, and to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy!"

"Even someone as valuing his life as I am, would have such an impulse! If this song were spread throughout the whole country, can you imagine the storm it would create and the positive impact it would have?!"

"If a song can move someone like me so much, I can't even imagine how united we can become and how amazing the power we can unleash if songs, movies, and TV series all work together!"

"When that time comes, our unity and unparalleled cohesion will be enough to deter many petty villains and prevent them from causing trouble! Just imagine what that will be like?"

"What if we could use these great cultural works to spread our way of life around the world and gain widespread recognition from all sectors of society? I don't need to say more; you should know how wonderful that would be!"

Using himself as an example, he painted a beautiful picture of the future that moved both Lao Luo and the principal.

It's true, we really need to pay more attention to this aspect of culture.

At the very least, we cannot allow others to seize our cultural high ground so easily.

After exchanging a perfectly synchronized glance with the principal, Lao Luo followed up on Ximen Lang's words and asked a question.

"Then it's up to you."

"My attitude has always been consistent: we must take the issue of cultural level seriously! Even if we don't take it ourselves, we absolutely cannot let others take it from us!"

"But because we've only just emerged from the shadow of war, we don't have that many good works here."

"Perfect timing! We have all of those, whether it's movies and TV shows or songs brimming with positive energy!"

"It's catchy and easy to spread! Why don't we just import a batch from Hollywood while they're just starting to get going!"

"If you're not convinced, let's have a match and see who's better! Once we get the first piece of the pie, the rest will be easy!"

"But before that, let's take a look at the movie 'Let the Bullets Fly' and see if our movies are really as good as I just said!"
