After offending capital, my songs became more and more popular.

Chapter 288 Far from home, a deep sense of melancholy arises; the leaves transform into autumn leaves.

Have you ever left home?
This question seems a bit silly...

It seems that there are very few people in this world who never leave home in their entire lives. Many people may be able to go home every day and not live on campus during their teenage years, such as kindergarten, primary school, junior high school, and even high school. However, starting from university, they will eventually have to leave home and go to different places, and will not be able to go home for a long time.

When we were at home, everyone said they were tired of staying at home, that there was nothing good about it, and that they were really tired of eating the dumplings and porridge that their mothers made for them every day and wanted to change things up...

But after leaving home and drifting aimlessly in the sea of ​​people for a long time, one will truly understand how good home is, and how delicious the food cooked by one's mother is.

This feeling seems to exist in every Chinese person, not just those who left behind their children...

But perhaps the feelings between the children are even deeper.

after all……

The "distance" is right there in front of you!
There used to be a lot of videos online about international students leaving home and boarding international flights.

They and their parents would tell each other that it was okay, that it was alright, that it was not like they couldn't call or video chat, that they could always keep in touch, that they would be back for the New Year... and so on.

Their parents told them to eat well and dress warmly, and they would tell their parents to take care of their health, to their fathers to smoke and drink less, and to their mothers to get more rest...

When it was time to leave and board the plane, they would both smile at each other, each wanting the other to feel that this "separation" was not a big deal for them.

But at the moment the person leaving turns their back...

Parents who watch their loved ones leave often find their once-upturned smiles drooping slightly.

Even those who leave will feel a slight tingling in their noses and their eyes will gradually well up with tears.

At this point, people who are about to leave usually don't dare to look back...

They were afraid that their parents would discover the precious little pearls in their eyes, and that their parents would be worried. They knew their parents felt bad too, and were reluctant to let go, but there was nothing they could do...

Parents also have it tough. Even if they're starting to break down, they won't relax their expressions at that moment. They'll maintain a smiling face, afraid that if their child turns around and sees that they're unhappy, the child will be even more reluctant to leave home...

They're both thinking of the other person!
Some things are truly unavoidable, and we simply have to bear them as we grow up.

Yes, indeed, many children who study abroad are sent by wealthy families to gain prestige, or are sent abroad to obtain a degree because they failed to get into university...

But there are also many diligent and hardworking people who, in order to have a better future, leave their homes and go to foreign countries, to places they are not familiar with, to live with a group of people who are not of the same race as them, who do not speak the same language, and who even look at them like monkeys in a zoo...

It's fine if these people return to China after completing their studies, since it only takes a few years; they come back after finishing their studies.

If you plan to stay there after finishing your studies, then you might really only see your parents and relatives a handful of times in your entire life.

These indescribable feelings of longing always surface in the quiet of the night, after a meal, or even in the middle of the night when one is drunk. When these emotions surge up, no one can hold back...

No wonder so many international students went to the embassy to cry; they were genuinely having an emotional breakdown!

On stage, Shen Ming'en continued singing:

……

"The warmth of the sun is unseen~"

"The blue of a night without moonlight!"

"Forced to choose a cold start, leaving only regrets behind."

……

"Woo~"

The melodious and melancholic sound of the violin continuously filled the entire studio, and through the sound system, it resonated precisely in the ears of every audience member, every international student, and every viewer watching the live broadcast simultaneously.

【Ah ah ah! 】

At that time, some people couldn't help but sigh:

[That violin he chose is fucking great!]

It's really rare to see a song with the violin as the main instrument...

[And yet, this song is primarily played on the violin, and the performance is so perfectly suited to it!]

[Normally, when expressing homesickness, Chinese people should use the erhu, but since this is a song for overseas students, I feel that the violin would be more suitable!]

[That's amazing, absolutely fucking amazing!]

……

The violin's tone naturally carries a touch of "melancholy." The piece "Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots" itself interprets a sense of "homesickness." Through the violin's tone, the melody becomes extremely "heart-touching"!
Actually, one of the comments from a guy was quite interesting...

In our country, the unique "nostalgia" that we remember seems to be something that can only be clearly expressed by an instrument like the erhu.

However, Shen Ming'en stated beforehand that his song "Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots" was written for international students...

For international students, leaving their homeland and living abroad, the violin, a "Western instrument," naturally resonates more with their homesickness.

So at this moment, no one said Shen Mingen was a Westernizer, nor did anyone cause trouble for Shen Mingen not using Chinese musical instruments as his main instruments. Everyone was just listening quietly.

……

"Fate's arrangement"

"Following the logic of nature~"

"No one can solve this mystery."

"Oh~"

……

The slow, gentle singing style is like imitating the "leaf" in the song title "Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots," falling from the branch and drifting slowly to the ground with the wind, without any weight at all.

But it is precisely this process of "returning to one's roots" that truly brings tears to one's eyes!

Shen Ming'en put away his violin and glanced at every fan in the audience. At this moment, his face no longer held that careless and irreverent air, nor did it carry any teasing. He was simply very serious, holding the microphone on the stand and singing!

……

"Far from home, I feel a deep sense of loss, and my spirit transforms into autumn leaves."

"But I am like a fallen leaf returning to its roots, falling upon you!"

A touch of melancholy, points dwindling alone~

"I'm completely willing!"

"My love is like fallen leaves returning to their roots..."

"Home~"

"Only by your side..."

……

"Oh……"

The live broadcast of the program "[Silk Road Blossoms]" swept across many viewers. Viewers in the online live broadcast room noticed that when Shen Ming'en sang the chorus of the song "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots," many people couldn't help but show an amazed expression when the first line, "Far from home, I can't help but sigh and turn into autumn leaves," came to mind. At that moment, they looked down at their arms and found that they had slowly developed goosebumps!

A pot of chicken skin soup isn't enough to cook it all!

no way……

Who can blame me but Shen Mingen's chorus for "Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots"? It's absolutely amazing!
The verses at the beginning of this piece are all "laying the groundwork," which everyone can feel. As the feelings of homesickness, melancholy, and longing for home are continuously intensified to the extreme through the rhythm and melody, and even more so through Shen Ming'en's singing and the timbre of the violin...

His line, "Far from home, I am filled with sorrow, and my sorrow transforms into autumn leaves," seemed to ignite the emotions within everyone's hearts!
Generally, the emotions of those who live in the village accumulate and are suppressed for a long time before finally erupting completely on a quiet night or when they are under the influence of alcohol.

But now...

As Shen Ming'en sang...

These guys really have a kind of intoxicating feeling, even more so than alcohol!

That's so sharp!

Is Shen Mingen singing?!
No!

He completely transformed into "Granny Rong" on the spot, holding steel needles and stabbing these young men and women in the heart time and time again!

Look!
After the initial goosebumps subsided, in that moment when emotions were ignited, the live broadcast camera of the "Silk Road Blossoms" program once again swept across the audience below the stage, especially those who had left their seats. You would notice that, without realizing it, their eyes had begun to glisten with tears!

The boys are doing a little better, but quite a few girls are already shedding pearls!
Do you think it's just the group of guys and girls who have children here?
no!
In the online live stream room of the 【Silk Road Blossoms】theater troupe in China, there are also many Liu Zi brothers and sisters who are unable to attend in person and are watching online!
that moment!
The emotions of countless overseas Chinese who have been living far from home were suddenly ignited!

The live chat was absolutely flooded with comments!

Almost all the guys and girls who live in Liuzi are scrolling through it:

【Ah ah ah! 】

【Shen Ming'en, are you going to kill me?!】

[I'm so fed up! I cried my eyes out under the covers yesterday, and I was feeling much better today, but this song has completely ruined my mood!]

[It's the middle of the night, and I'm crying like an idiot in my rented apartment...]

[Ahhh! Anyone in Russia? Anyone want to team up and speak Chinese together?]

I just want to go to the embassy and cry right now!

[I can't believe it either. I knew perfectly well that this song by Häkkin was supposed to be a sad one, but I still went and listened to it...]

[That was such a perfect interpretation!]

[You guys really don't know, when he said "It's so sad to be away from home," just hearing the first four words made me burst out laughing...]

[I'm different from other brothers. I have more stamina. I held on a little longer. It was only when I said, "Home is only where you are," that I finally broke down...]

Ugh, what the hell have I been living these past few years abroad?!

Why the hell did I even want to go abroad?!

Honestly, I'd rather stay in China and deal with those people than go abroad.

Those idiots really treat you like a monkey because you're not their race, and they'll all reject you.

……

It's not easy being abroad...

Actually, it's a bit better in some Asian countries, at least the people are all the same race. If you don't speak your own language and speak their language a little more fluently, they will assume you are a local. Even if they know you are a foreigner, because people of similar races look similar, they won't be too prejudiced against you.

But if you go to some European or American countries, especially those countries that don't necessarily have a good relationship with our country, then you'll really suffer!

First of all, there's the issue of "race." If you're in a Black country, it's not so bad, but Black people are generally not very good, so who looks down on whom is anyone's guess...

But if you live in a white country, those white people really think they're superior because of their blond hair and blue eyes!
Those people are first and foremost people who think they are superior, and secondly, they look down on others. In their eyes, it seems that only they are noble among all races in the world, and if you are different from them in terms of physical characteristics, you will be ostracized.

The burning of the groin is not just because of a "skin color" issue...

It mainly comes down to the difference in "race".

Our country also has similar sayings, such as the classic one: "Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts!"

To put it bluntly, in their eyes, we are not of the same race as them, so how can domestic students studying abroad easily integrate into their community?

For international students abroad, those who are rich are fine; they can have fun anywhere. But those whose parents have spent an entire generation's savings to send them abroad, that's when things really get tough.

Being ostracized is the most basic and normal thing; some people might even be bullied...

Ironically, even though they're over 80, they dare not speak out against it.

why?
nonsense……

If you are robbed of your rights in China, and you report it to the police, the police will definitely take action and help you get justice.

But you're abroad and you get beaten up by foreigners. Even if you call the police, do you think the locals will help you or their own people?
Of course they'll help their own people!
Abroad, especially in the US, Fupoo has a notoriously bad reputation; everyone knows that!

Surely we wouldn't go to the embassy for something like this?!

Afraid of worrying her parents, she dared not tell them, and could only silently endure it all...

These kinds of things are the most commonplace!

And it was during those times that their longing for their hometown grew even stronger.

People...

I always think of "home" when I'm feeling very vulnerable.

The reason……

It's probably because the word "home" represents absolute warmth.

So……

Many people couldn't help but laugh and lost their composure when they heard the chorus of Shen Ming'en's song "Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots"...

Even through the screen, many people could almost feel the despair of those who wanted to keep their children!
"Woo..."

At Shen Ming'en's concert, after he finished singing, during the interlude, he played the violin for a while...

The consequence of that was...

At the performance, one person cried, two people cried, three people cried...

The last few pieces were all crying!

Good guy!
A performance brought tears to the eyes of many!

All I can say is that Shen Ming'en's song "Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots" has too many side effects!
