The Book of All Things: Born for Joy

People left slowly, reluctantly and excitedly, and consciously took their trash with them, which was very touching.

This captivating concert ended amidst much discussion and debate, leaving the audience with endless imagination.

However, the discussion did not end there, and the concert caused a huge uproar as soon as it ended.

The most discussed topics were still about "male voice with female appearance," "cross-dressing," and other issues related to appearance, while the songs and performances were not mentioned at all.

These controversies were naturally within Li Zichun's expectations. Having made such preparations, he naturally had to bear the corresponding risks.

Nevertheless, he underestimated the extent of the discussion.

The public's resistance to non-mainstream culture is extremely strong. Even if someone is fully prepared, they will still be surprised that there are still so many stubborn "old-fashioned" people in this era. The public's inherent aesthetic habits have long become a mindset: men must be masculine and cannot shed tears except in the face of death; women cannot be too charming and alluring, otherwise they are considered vulgar and slutty.

As for Li Zichun, who is half-male and half-female, he is simply mentally ill and has willingly fallen into depravity.

Although the public enjoys the songs performed at the concert, they still believe that such attire is unsightly and that as an idol, he could have a negative influence on children, teenagers, and others, thus corrupting social values.

Thus, led by a group of self-proclaimed mainstream elites, a vigorous boycott movement began, and a wave of concert ticket refunds ensued.

Li Zichun learned of this three days later.

Lin Xuehua called to inquire about the concert, saying that a large number of tickets were unsold and continuing the performance would inevitably result in losses, so she asked him whether the concert would still be held as scheduled.

After some thought, Li Zichun still gave an affirmative reply, and temporarily changed the concert theme, moved the venue to Kowloon Port, and opened an overseas ticketing channel.

Originally, this farewell feast was to be held in the Oriental Never Sleeps City to thank the domestic audience. The theme of the fourth concert was Cantonese songs. Since everyone didn't like it, let's change the venue. If this place doesn't want me, there are plenty of other places that will.

Li Zichun's decision was absolutely correct; 80% of the returned tickets sold out within ten minutes of the overseas ticketing channel opening. Among them were several international stars who shared their purchase records online, sparking a wave of imitations from their fans.

Everything was exactly as Li Zichun had anticipated. His six months of studying and traveling abroad were not for nothing; he had supported and helped quite a few celebrities, so getting them to help promote him now would be very easy.

Li Zichun even received a performance invitation from the world-renowned music hall, Gerami.

The guests invited to this concert were still Li Jiawei and Sun Xiaoling, with Du Zihua and Zhao Qianfan also present as regular attendants.

Even without their company, the sheer popularity of the English-language album "Peerless Beauty" overseas was enough to draw a huge following of musicians and enthusiastic fans.

What is appreciated by a small group of people in China is treasured abroad.

By the time everyone realized that tickets were still incredibly hard to come by and even had increased significantly on overseas websites, it was too late for regrets.

Some fans were glad they didn't follow the trend and sell their shares, otherwise they would have lost a lot of money.

It's worth noting that while the price is also 8888 on external websites, the unit of measurement is changed to a 1:10 local currency.

A group of people in China couldn't resist selling their tickets, resulting in a local concert where over 95% of the attendees were foreigners. Kowloon was also filled with tourists from all over the country during this period, and tourism revenue in just a few days approached the total annual revenue. Even the scenic spots and hotels in the surrounding areas were overcrowded.

When the news reports came out, everyone realized the significance of the name Li Zichun.

The main reason Li Zichun chose Kowloon Harbour was because it was close to home. Home was none other than the small villa where Li Zichun, Zhao Qianfan, and Li Ke used to live. Li Zichun had already asked Zhao Qianfan to buy it, so it was quite convenient for him to come back now.

Li Jiawei and Sun Xiaoling each had their own room, while the three men slept in the other room.

Lin Xuehua naturally supported their choice. She never expected that their concert would trigger a tourism boom, and the Lin family, whose businesses were mostly located in Kowloon Port, made a fortune overnight.

So she looked at them with even more kindness, like a walking money-printing machine, wanting to follow them around 24/7.

To ensure they had a comfortable and peaceful resting environment, a bodyguard team was hired, and even all the media were contacted. In fact, even if Lin Xuehua hadn't given the order, everyone in Kowloon knew that the economic benefits brought by their group—the doubling of revenue and increased foot traffic to individual stores alone—would keep them busy for a while.

The popularity in Kowloon made the mainland realize that its boycott was meaningless. The media began to report on the experimental, avant-garde and pioneering nature of his concert, praising it so much that the public was somewhat dazed. Are all media people so shameless?

Lee Tsz-Chun did not change his decision, and the next two events were held in Kowloon Harbour.

He made his career take off here, and he will also retire here.

Everything proceeded smoothly and efficiently. Inside Li Zichun's small villa, all the outside world's troubles and grievances seemed to be kept at bay.

Some were practicing singing, others were joking around; there was no tension whatsoever before the concert.

Li Zichun lay on Zhao Qianfan's lap, eating grapes that Du Zihua handed him, feeling comfortable and at ease.

Zhao Qianfan stroked his soft hair and hummed his own etude in his ear. Du Zihua leaned against his chest and asked the two of them to point out the way to sing the sentences. As for Li Jiawei and Sun Xiaoling, they watched with great interest, almost full of dog food.

Qi Tong lay on her little sofa watching the group of lovesick men and women, stretched out her little paws, rolled over, and continued to sunbathe.

However, to Li Zichun's surprise, all his friends came. Almost everyone who was even remotely related to him brought their families to Kowloon Port to experience the charisma of these top-tier celebrities and international superstars.

In their view, this is a group of people who quietly accomplish great things.

The authorities had been paying attention to his identity for some time. After careful review, they were originally going to announce his identity as a writer. However, after communicating with Xu Chengfeng, they ultimately decided not to reveal who "Senluo" was.

Li Zichun also transferred a portion of the copyright revenue to his mother, Li Xian, to support the construction of the welfare home so that the children could grow up happily. As for the rest, a foundation was established, which was managed by Du Zihua.

Zhao Qianfan was pleased with the outcome and gave a portion of her property to Du Zihua, simply smiling and "instructing" him to manage it well. Li Zichun didn't ask any further questions, just watched quietly.

Zhao Qianfan was naturally aware of Du Zihua's "little tricks," after all, he cared a lot about anything related to Li Zichun. He knew that Du Zihua had secretly gone to have IVF without Li Zichun's knowledge, but he didn't care about these things, because they were both leaving this world, so he let him go.

Those who cannot escape the world order can only find fleeting warmth in the human world, even if it is illusory.

Du Zihua didn't say anything about it, and naturally he wouldn't mention it either. Li Zichun was kept in the dark all along, which was one of his worldly trials.

Moreover, according to his calculations, the time his child is born will be exactly the time he leaves this world. Let's see how he chooses to proceed.
