1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 112: The flowers in Beihai have bloomed, may you always be safe
Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, come and play the piano on weekends in the summer.

A song appeared in my mind. Although I tried other instruments, I always felt that piano would be better.

I have collected more than a dozen musical instruments, but a piano is not something that most families can afford. There is no place to put it!
It’s better to join the song and dance troupe!

In the summer, I played the piano in the piano room with ecstasy, closing my eyes and savoring the music carefully. I even forgot to move my fingertips and just let it move on its own!
At this time, the door of the piano room opened a little, and a group of sisters and aunts hid at the door, with their heads piled up together, eavesdropping and peeking!
"What are you doing? Sneaking around!" Deputy Captain Wang suddenly appeared.

"Shh~" Someone put a finger to his mouth and pointed inside the door.

"Xia Tian is playing the piano, a piece of music I've never heard before!"

"Oh?!" Deputy Captain Wang also became excited. He squeezed for a spot and peeked through the crack in the door.

This is a very gentle song, and it seems to carry a hint of sadness... No, there seems to be something else behind the sadness?
That feeling has the cold chill of the hazy night, but also the soft and soothing sweet words.

Mixed together, they flow quietly in my heart like water, delicate and gentle...

As if telling you: It’s okay, everything will be fine!
It is a transformation from sadness to bright hope, which makes the listeners feel warm...

It wasn't until Xia Tian stopped and there was no movement for a long time that a group of people outside the door opened the door and broke in.

Deputy Captain Wang took the lead and looked very excited!
"Xia Tian! You play it so well!"

"Play it again!"

"I like this piece, what is it called?"

"Teach us now!"

For a moment, the sound of five hundred larks chirping was heard.
"It's been six years, and you've finally composed music again! I thought the talented musician in the troupe died young!" Deputy Captain Wang's face turned red with excitement.

"Auntie Wang? You...are you all here?" Xia Tian was so engrossed in his work that he didn't notice there was someone outside the door.

Under normal circumstances, this wouldn’t happen. I can only say that I was too engrossed in my studies just now.

"Hey~ Wang Tuan, why do you say that he finally composed music again?" A young lady spotted the problem very keenly.

Wang Tuan glanced at Xia Tian and said nothing.

Xia Tian smiled bitterly - two years ago, Xia Tian was playing a piece of music in the piano room and was heard by Aunt Wang. She begged her to keep it a secret and not tell anyone.

After all, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot!

The roc can soar to the sky because the wind is blowing below it. If you flap your wings too early, you won't be able to catch the wind and might even be smashed to pieces.

You should learn to lie low at an age when it is not appropriate to be high-profile.

But now, it's obvious that I can't pretend anymore.

But things have become much more relaxed these days.

Xia Tian offered, “It’s a piece of music I composed two years ago. Can I play it for you?”

"Great, great!" The sisters and aunts were very happy to hear another song.

The result was still the sharp-eyed young lady from before, "Wait a minute, one song at a time! You say this one first!"

"Right, right, right! I almost let you fool me. Tell me about this song first! What's the name of this song?"

Xia Tian picked up a newspaper from the piano and handed it to them.

"This piece of music was written after I read Shi Tiesheng's article "Autumn Memories" about his mother... He was paralyzed due to an old injury and could only use a wheelchair."

"At first he was very depressed and had a bad temper. To comfort him, his mother often pushed him to Beihai to see the flowers blooming... She said, 'I heard that the flowers in Beihai are blooming. I'll push you to go for a walk.'"

"Mother said: 'Let's live together, mother and daughter, and live well, live well..."

"But while my mother was taking care of him, she had developed a serious liver disease... and one day she suddenly passed away. In her last moments, she was still muttering, 'My sick son and my underage daughter...'"

"When I read this essay, I was deeply moved. So I wrote this down..."

After hearing this story, some sentimental lesbians could not bear it and wiped their eyes.

Summer pressed the piano keys again, and the slightly sad yet hopeful notes leaped again.

After listening to Xia Tian talk about the reasons for creating the song, I seemed to have a different feeling when listening to the song again.

When the song ended, almost everyone's eyes were red, and someone finally shed tears.

Xia Tian said: "This song is called "Flowers in the North Sea Have Bloomed". Flowers in the North Sea have bloomed, may you always be safe. May all flowers blooming be remembered, and may all lives be treated tenderly..."

(Originally named "Flowers in the South of the City Have Bloomed", the original author is Sanmudi. The background of the creation of this song is also very touching. It was written for a fan who died of cancer)

Just when Xia Tian thought that the matter was over and was about to go home, suddenly a group of sisters and aunts blocked him!
"Don't go yet! Have you forgotten something?" It was the same young lady again.

Xia Tian glanced at Aunt Wang Kun. Could it be that it was you, Aunt Wang, who reminded them?
There was no choice but Xia Tian had to play another song that he had "created" a few years ago.

"This song is called "Yearning Across Time and Space"..."

Xia Tian sat on the piano bench, and the moment his fingers pressed down, it seemed as if a radiant light appeared...

When the song ended, Xia Tian stood up, bowed slightly, took his things and left quietly.

The dozen or so listeners didn't move, as if they were still immersed in the music and the deep longing... Later, Xia Tian also asked about the young lady he hadn't seen before.

It turns out she is Cheng Lin!

Many people may not be familiar with this name, but if you mention the song "Little Trumpet", everyone may be familiar with it!
The little conch trumpet blows, and the seagulls spread their wings and fly away~
How about "Mother's Kiss"?
Kissing away the tears on my face, warming my young heart, mother's sweet kiss, makes me miss it till now~
She sang all of this!

In summer, I thought she was a round-faced girl who looked childish!

It turns out that she is not a little sister, but a little sister!

She is two years younger than Xia Tian!
It's all because the members of the group were older than Xia Tian before, which made him have stereotypes and path dependence, and he immediately called her a young lady! He deserves criticism!

Cheng Lin was admitted to the Haizheng Song and Dance Troupe at the age of 11, and served as an erhu soloist. At the age of 12, she won the Excellence Award in the National Erhu Competition and the first prize in the military performance in the same year.

Just last year, at the age of 13, she took the stage as a singer for the first time. The song "Little Trumpet" made her quickly famous in the city of Yanjing, becoming the youngest first-generation singer in the Chinese music scene!
This basically established her leading position in the Chinese music scene in the mid-80s, and even sounded the prelude to the shift from "high-pitched and hard-hitting" red music to diverse popular music.

But the reason why Xia Tian has been keeping a low profile is that he doesn’t want to be the first to stand out.

The album "The Trumpet" was sold out, but the social atmosphere remained serious.

"The Trumpet" caused great controversy and was criticized by many authoritative media!

Many people criticized it, saying that it was unhealthy for a 13-year-old girl to sing such a song...

But this little conch trumpet is almost a nursery rhyme.

But the wheel of history does not care whether you are male or female, old or young, and will crush anyone who stands in its way.

The Haizheng stopped her performances and basically put her on ice. It was still Vice President Wang who personally asked her to come over and let her continue to perform in the East.

(In real life, she joined the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe in 84, so there is a parallel here~I was actually wrong!)

It can be said that in the 1980s, the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe produced many famous singers, and Vice-President Wang’s open-minded style played an indispensable role in this!

However, Xia Tian got some not-so-good information from Apocalypse.

Little sister Cheng Lin's love life seemed to be very unsuccessful. After several failed relationships, she never got married and finally adopted a girl to depend on for life.

But how can anyone help with this kind of thing?

Talking about deep things when you are not even close to someone you know is a big taboo in relationships!
Oh, by the way, her first boyfriend is from Taiwan, and the original author of “Descendants of the Dragon” is Leehom’s uncle!
What Xia Tian didn't expect was that the group recently recruited a 20-year-old young man named Cui, who played the trumpet...

Xia Tian seemed to hear a roar. The future Lao Cui is still Xiao Cui now!

……

If a good song comes out from the dance troupe, how can they keep it from being spread?
That can't be done!

Although Xia Tian is not an official member of the troupe, he grew up in the troupe and is better at singing and dancing than many of the new members!

The music he wrote is the achievement of the troupe!

So, it’s very quick!
Click~ The summer piano pieces "Flowers Bloom in the North Sea" and "Yearning Across Time and Space" are on the radio.

Every evening after get off work, they will play both songs.

But what to say?

Ordinary listeners do find it nice to listen to. After all, it is a song that catches people's ears at first sight. The melody is very beautiful.

It is even more touching when the announcer tells the background of the music's creation.

But to be honest, when ordinary people listen to music, they rarely pay attention to who created the music.

But in the music circle, many people paid attention to the two songs.

Many people asked their acquaintances in the song and dance troupe, "Who is the teacher of Jinghongke in your troupe? The two songs are simply amazing!"

Most people in the group had an expression like "Did you just get back to Yanjing?" and asked back, "Haven't you read the newspaper recently?"

The article “The King of Legends” in the Evening News was written by Teacher Jinghongke!

"Oh! What are you talking about? I was very serious when I read it, but I didn't pay attention to who the author was! It turned out that a musician wrote the novel?"

"Think about it again..."

"Think again?"

"Have you ever heard of Counting Ducks? How about Where is Spring? Songs and Smiles!"

"I've heard it! I've heard it! It's always played on the radio. It's a very good children's song. Could it be..."

"Yes, it was created by Teacher Jing Hongke!"

"So who is this teacher?"

“…You’ll know later.”

"Hey! Are you teasing that silly boy?!"
