The longed-for village system

Chapter 60 Qinqin's Guilt

"I prefer this saying: Anyone can abandon their ideals, so why be afraid that one day it will only be you and me? Giving up ideals is an easy thing to say, but if you have a dream, you should persevere even if only one person supports you. At least you won't regret it if you've tried your best."

Teacher He also has his own favorite lyrics and insights, especially because he is a host of Happy Camp, he often comes into contact with young people and hears about the difficulties they face in pursuing their dreams.

It is too difficult and too lonely for a person to silently persist in their ideals. In this respect, I am undoubtedly lucky, as my journey has been very smooth.

He was chosen by Sister Jin Guizi to host a children's program, which gave him the freedom to express himself freely. Later, he joined Hunan TV and co-hosted Happy Camp with Sister Xiang, which went very smoothly. His popularity has been rising, and he is now one of the top hosts in China.

Unlike Teacher Huang and Teacher He, whose liking stemmed from their experiences and insights, Peng Peng and his sister, along with other young people, preferred a different line in the lyrics.

"I prefer this sentence: Forgive me for my unruly and unrestrained love of freedom throughout my life, but I am also afraid that one day I will fall."

"Me too, this lyric is so well written, awesome!"

It's not surprising that different people have different favorite lyrics. Just as there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers, every listener will have a different understanding of the lyrics, and even their own understanding will change over time.

In his past life, he, like his sister and Peng Peng, loved this lyric and always thought it was cool and stylish. But after his rebirth, he discovered that what touched him the most when he sang this song was...

The fleeting feeling of loss faded away without him realizing it, and this lyric touched him the most.

Aside from the bond of blood, he thinks about his relatives and friends from his past life less and less now, and even the faces of some classmates and friends are starting to become blurry.

It was a fleeting moment of confusion; many people and things seemed to dim in comparison.

"Sister Qinqin, what's wrong? Why are you crying!"

Just as everyone was about to continue appreciating the song, the younger sister's voice interrupted them. Everyone turned their attention to Liqin, who hadn't spoken, and found that she was indeed teary-eyed and looked pitiful.

"Qinqin, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Teacher He immediately comforted her after noticing. Chen Qing looked at Li Qin with astonishment. Although the song was classic and inspiring, it wasn't a tearful love song. Why was this girl crying?

"Teacher He, I'm fine. I just feel sorry for my teacher. I studied Kunqu Opera for so many years, but in the end, I disappointed her."

Most people may not know what Li Qin'er studied in her early years, but He Jiong, who hosted a program that Li Qin'er participated in, knows that Li Qin'er was secretly trained by the state for 8 years in her early years. During those 8 years, she studied Kunqu Opera in an academy and was being trained as a successor to the national intangible cultural heritage.

However, by a twist of fate and a series of coincidences, he was selected by the director to film "Dream of the Red Chamber," and later directly entered the film and television industry. Although he achieved considerable success, he must have felt an immense sense of indebtedness to his teacher.

This time, Xiao Chen's song must have touched the softest part of her heart; otherwise, knowing Li Qin'er as he does, he would never have broken down in tears in front of the camera.

Teacher He didn't know how to comfort Li Qin'er for a moment. He knew that this was a knot in her heart, and she always felt that she had failed her teacher for so many years of education.

Chen Qing knew that Li Qin'er had studied Kunqu Opera for many years, and in his previous life he had seen her look guilty every time she mentioned this matter.

At that time, as a spectator, he couldn't say anything, and even if he did, no one would listen; his voice carried little weight.

But now it's different. He's sitting right here, and Li Qin'er is sitting next to him. Besides, this situation was caused by his song, so we can still chat about it for a bit.

"Actually, you don't need to feel guilty or blame yourself at all. Promotion doesn't necessarily mean you're in this circle. On the contrary, I think you are more useful and influential now than before. If you really want to, why not use your current position to let more people know about Kunqu Opera and get to know it? I believe your teacher would be more happy to see that."

“I think Xiao Chen is right. It would be great if you could promote Kunqu Opera in that circle and let more people know about it. But what you are doing now is also a good choice. So many people like you. You can use your identity to promote Kunqu Opera and let more people know about it.”

With Chen Qing and Teacher He's comforting words, Li Qin'er felt much better and realized that what they said made sense.

There aren't many people in this world who understand Kunqu Opera. Even if I pass it down myself, probably not many more people will know about this opera. But if I promote it now as a celebrity, then more people will know about this opera.
