[A Young China's Manifesto]

Lyrics: Liang Qichao, Ye Chen

[Composer/Original Singer: Ye Chen] (Original Singer: Zhang Jie)

Special Guest Area.

At this moment, Zhang Yiming and Professor Zhang looked at each other in bewilderment.

They were all staring intently at the three characters "Liang Qichao," their eyes practically popping out of their sockets!

Why is Leung Kai-Chiu's name listed as a lyricist? Is it a case of a copy? But is the song title also the same???

Zhang Yiming was almost speechless with surprise and couldn't help but ask in bewilderment.

"A Discourse on Young China...?" Professor Zhang was dumbfounded!

Ye Chen dares to choose such a grand name? In this day and age, who dares to put the word "China" in their song title?

The foundation of Chinese music is already weak; if the lyrics are poorly written and the singing is bad, it will definitely be criticized harshly.

Even if the lyrics, music, and performance are flawless, as long as it involves the theme of "family and country," it will be attacked by mindless people.

Therefore, you can imagine how much pressure Ye Chen was under by including the country's name in the song title!

"How strict will the review process be when this song is submitted for approval?!" Li Shuyuan was stunned, her face filled with disbelief.

"Hiss~ Why are Ye Chen's songs getting more and more outrageous?!"

"Ye Chen couldn't have left it unreported, could he?! How could his last-minute song change get approved so quickly?!" Zhang Rui's eyes sharpened.

As if he had found a new angle for writing, he pointedly remarked, "Or... he might have altered Liang Qichao's 'A Discourse on Young China'!"

"Ha, see? I told you Ye Chen was just playing tricks! Let's see how he manages to get Liang Qichao out!" Wu Yifan said sarcastically with a gloomy expression.

Zhang Rui fawned, "That's right! A hundred years ago, a singer would have been nothing more than an actor! Even the ancients understood that actors ruin a country. Do you think Ye Chen has any good intentions in doing this?"

After he finally uttered what he had in mind, he realized that the people around him were staring at him with cold eyes.

"Uh... I was saying Ye Chen is an actor." Seeing the atmosphere was off, he immediately waved his hand and admitted defeat.

……

Meanwhile, on stage.

The moment the song title was announced, many people in the audience froze in shock!

"A Discourse on Young China? Huh? That's right! Isn't this someone's article?!"

"Lyrics by Leung Kai-Chiu?! Why do I feel like this is all so unreal?!"

"Wow! It was supposed to be a song about youth, but Chen Tang completely switched careers and brought out Leung Kai-Chiu?"

Section D.

"Mom! This is the song I sang for Uncle Ye Chen!" Duoduo danced with joy.

The surrounding audience was taken aback and immediately looked over at the sound.

The mother tidied the little girl's messy hair: "How about Duoduo sings for Uncle Ye Chen again later?"

"No? Little sister, you can sing this song? This is Ye Chen's new song, it hasn't even been released yet."

The singer next to me couldn't contain his curiosity and asked aloud.

"I'm a member of the children's choir. Uncle Ye Chen made us sing several times and even recorded our performances."

Duoduo tilted her head, her big eyes sparkling.

"Yes, the first song, 'Growing Towards the Sun,' was sung by my daughter's group." The mother explained to the surrounding singers with pride and affection.

"At first, the little girl said, 'Sing for Ye Chen.' I thought she was grabbing the microphone for a duet, but it turns out she really was singing for Ye Chen!"

"Little sister, you're just as great as your Uncle Ye Chen! Will you continue singing for him in the future?"

"Wow! So the little girl is part of Morning Sugar's children's choir! Wait, does this song also have children's voices?!"

"Of course! Duoduo will sing for you," Duoduo said crisply, putting down her policeman doll.

As the accompaniment played, the drumbeats grew increasingly intense.

Duoduo stood up and, following the rhythm of the recording, recited in her still-childish voice: "When the youth are wise, the nation is wise..."

……

At the same time, the recorded children's voices reading aloud appear along with the accompaniment.

Dozens of innocent and cheerful voices, intertwined with the voices of many children, created a vibrant and energetic atmosphere.

"When the youth are wise, the nation is wise; when the youth are wealthy, the nation is wealthy!"

"When the youth are strong, the nation is strong; when the youth are independent, the nation is independent!"

"If the youth are free, the nation is free; if the youth progress, the nation progresses."

The clear, youthful harmonies and solemn, orderly shouts echoed throughout the venue.

Despite his youthful appearance, his imposing presence ignited the passion of the entire audience!

With just these few words, the faces of some people in the audience changed drastically, and their pupils seemed to explode on the spot!

What shocked them was not the children's voices, but the words they recited!

These sentences, combined with the innocence of children, are both powerful and resonant, directly conveying a strong sense of emotion and appeal!

Ye Chen's combination of moves was so perfect it was almost unfair!

Many people were still recovering from the shock!

Liang Qichao appeared in Ye Chen's song in this way.

As Liang Qichao said, a strong youth means a strong nation.

The entire audience deeply agreed with this voice.

"My god! Is this what they mean by 'A Young China'? Ye Chen hasn't even opened his mouth yet, and I'm already getting goosebumps!!"

"This harmony is so powerful! So spirited! It's full of sunshine, confidence, and an uplifting fighting spirit!"

"Mr. Liang Qichao truly deserves his title as a classic of the century! His lyrics are so good they don't need any particular melody!"

"Songs can be written like this?! This is the fifth time Ye Chen has opened my eyes today! I'm bowing down in admiration!"

"That voice, that spirit—that's what our nation's youth should be like! What kind of kids are they who constantly spout off things like 'You're gay, I'm gay, I need to check my license, so what?'"

"..."

In Section D, the karaoke fans around Duoduo were all numb!

She glanced at the stage for a moment, then turned her head to look at Duoduo, who was singing.

That youthful exuberance was completely unlike the dry, lifeless recitation of texts.

As the children's voices gradually faded away, the accompanying melody remained melodious.

Ye Chen began to sing in a gentle yet firm voice:

"The rising sun shines brightly, its path is vast and glorious."

"The river flows out and flows into the ocean.

"The dragon rises from the abyss, its scales and claws flashing."

"The young tiger roars in the valley, and all beasts tremble in fear..."

When Ye Chen spoke, the entire room fell silent, everyone quietly enjoying the moment.

His voice was as clear as a mountain spring and as powerful as a rushing river.

The intro is captivating, the lyrics are grand and melodious, and each line is exquisite, directly expressing Ye Chen's praise and longing for the mountains and rivers.

Just as he used his singing to paint the magnificent scene of the rising sun over Jinyun Mountain and the Yangtze River in the foggy city in the hearts of the audience.

Ye Chen's singing was impeccably steady, his voice deep yet carrying a youthful arrogance:

"A youth's spirit is boundless, his backbone as upright as mountains and rivers!"

"I dare to measure the sun and moon again, for today I am but a young man!"

"Daring to challenge the heavens and earth, I will forge ahead, overcoming all obstacles and thorns!"

"Though the world laughs at me, I will strive on my own! I will not let my youth go to waste!"

"A trill! C#3! A breathy sound with a hidden tone?! So many combinations of soft sounds?!" Li Shuyuan pointed at Ye Chen on the stage, her heart skipping a beat.

"Old Zhang... do you think Ye Chen really only knows how to sing catchy pop songs?"
