The dormitories at the Royal Academy of Music are double-occupancy, managed and decorated in an apartment-style, with one bedroom per person and soundproofing.

The dormitory building is patrolled by security guards 24 hours a day. In addition to the laundry room, gym, reception room, movie room, bicycle storage, there are 23 large music practice rooms open 24 hours a day.

Of course, the almost luxurious accommodation conditions come with high tuition fees, which are 30,000 pounds per year, and an additional 8,000 to 10,000 pounds for accommodation.

In comparison, the average annual income of an average person in the UK is around 3.6 pounds.

Most people take out loans to go to school.

Olivia is not worried. She receives a scholarship from the school every year, and her family has set up an education fund to support her artistic career.

She returned to the dormitory, put away her priceless violin, picked up the tablet on the bedside table, opened the YouTube app, and then she remembered that she didn't know what to search for. She still remembered the other person's name, but she had forgotten the string of letters that made up the name.

He turned around and handed the tablet to Mia who followed him back to the dormitory.

"Interview Miss Olivia. How does it feel to know that there is such a chosen one in the world?"

Mia took the tablet, found the video, and handed it back, verbally teasing.

In her heart, she was actually envious of her roommate.

She is beautiful, has a good family background, and her musical talent is so outstanding among her peers. If she improves her violin skills step by step, she will one day become the protagonist of the music hall and hold her own concert.

It's actually very stressful to get along with such people.

It's really frustrating when no matter how hard you try, you can't even see the taillights of the other car.

So after she read the magazine article and confirmed that it was true, she kept wondering what expression her roommate, who was known as a genius, would have when she saw a young musician who was far better than her.

"do not know."

Olivia shook her head.

"Maybe I would be jealous, provided there really is such a person."

I clicked on the number one video and it was a scene from the Shenzhen concert.

News about Lu Qingfeng's domestic activities will be compiled by the studio and sent to the fan club in Fuso, and then posted on the external Internet.

The special concert lasted nearly two hours, but not all of it was posted on YouTube. Only some of the performance pieces were cut out.

"Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon", "The Barber of Seville" for violin duet, "Croatian Rhapsody" for piano, and the final encore "If You Can Bloom"

The first video the two watched was the "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon".

Applause came from the video, and a wide-angle shot covered the entire concert hall, from the packed auditorium to the surrounded stage, and the camera then zoomed in.

Olivia's attention was drawn to the figure standing in the middle of the stage.

Because it is so stunning that it is impossible to ignore.

Surrounded by over a hundred musicians holding various instruments, the tall and leggy young man was dressed in a slim black tuxedo, a spotless white shirt, and a bow tie at his collar.

The neck is elegant and upright, the jawline is delicate, the brow bones are prominent and the nose bridge is high. The facial features are deep and three-dimensional, and the most special thing is the boy's eyes.

The upper and lower arcs are regular and narrow, and the tail end is slightly upturned, looking gentle and affectionate.

But her eyes were clear, pure, and full of youthfulness.

Olivia's doubts were immediately alleviated. She felt that if this oriental boy was the genius described in the magazine, it would not be unacceptable.

The screen was always focused on him. Olivia didn't understand Chinese, but fortunately there was an English translation below, so she understood that the boy was introducing the piece he was going to play next.

She had never heard this piece of music before, but when the melody sounded, she was surprised to find herself immersed in the imagery that the performer wanted to convey.

No wonder the magazine repeatedly emphasizes the musical appeal of this talented violinist.

It's really amazing. Since I watched the video with a critical eye, I had rational and even biased thoughts, but even so, I could feel the relaxed and comfortable beauty from the melody.

She could already tell that this was traditional Chinese folk music, and because she had participated in cultural exchanges, she had a deeper understanding of this type of music.

The piece of music itself is beautiful, and the ability to perfectly preserve the oriental aesthetic features through the performance of the violin shows that his mastery of this instrument has completely surpassed himself.

Olivia watched the other person's performance carefully.

The alternation of changing positions, slow glissando, open strings, and high positions, the syncopated rhythm, the design of the bowing technique, the use of ornaments in the prelude, the precise pitch control, and the blank space at the end, which is like a Chinese ink painting.

She was amazed.

Because I learned the violin, I can more intuitively feel the other person's strength in this instrument.

Even if he had not just started playing the violin this year, but had been learning it since childhood, he could still be considered a genius among geniuses, a top talent rarely seen in history.

Is this the Oriental violin king mentioned by Gramophone magazine?

[The insane power of infection is like seeing the eyes of Medusa and turning into a stone statue while sitting on the chair.]

[Such a beautiful face, one can appreciate the charm of an oriental gentleman.]

……

The video was uploaded less than a week ago, and the number of views is about to exceed one million, which is already remarkable for classical music, which does not receive much attention.

After watching the remaining concert videos, Olivia suddenly felt bored and began to dislike the violin, which she loved so much.

I don’t want to play anymore!

How could God love one person so much?

It not only gave him extraordinary performance talent, but also endowed him with spiritual creative talent.

For other young violinists, it is a huge tragedy to live in the same era as such a person.

"Lu Qingfeng is very famous in China. His story is known to everyone online. He didn't originally play any musical instruments. When he was young, his parents wanted him to be an idol, but it wasn't successful."

"It wasn't until last year that he began to show his amazing musical talent. He posted his piano learning process on TikTok in China, and someone copied it here."

"Oh, by the way, he's also a great literary writer."

Mia felt that the excitement was not enough, so she took her tablet and went back to Tiktok to find a video to show Olivia.

From stumbling in playing the violin at the beginning, to becoming quite proficient, to gradually getting better, and then to imitating many master violinists.

The passage of time was clearly evident in the changes in the boy's body shape.

Olivia felt calmer.

Because the gap is so big, there is no longer any jealousy or envy, only a feeling of powerlessness.
