Chapter 37 Young China, As Timeless as the Heavens!
The song "As You Wish" has become the most moving performance of the event so far.

But none of the students at No. 1 Middle School would have imagined that this was not the biggest surprise of the event; another surprise awaited them.

After all the performances were finished, the class choir competition officially began.

Soon it was Class 3's turn. The host, with a hint of excitement, announced loudly:

"There is a sound, like the surging of the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers; there is a power, like the stars in the eyes of a young person."

From the grand ambition of "stretching across the ages and encompassing the vast wilderness" to the belief of "the future is as boundless as the sea, and the days ahead are long"—

"This is what Chinese youth look like!"

"Next, please listen to the song performed by all the students of Class 3, Grade 12."

"The song 'Ode to Young China,' adapted from Liang Qichao's 'Ode to Young China,' and composed by Jiang Xun, a student from Class 3 of Senior Three!"

"Let the passion of youth resonate with the pulse of the times, and together sing praises to our ever-young China!"

Wow! !

As soon as the host finished speaking, an uproar erupted from below.

Jiang Xun again?! Another original work?!
Although this time he only composed music for "Ode to Young China", the series of original compositions still surprised everyone.

At this moment, the students of Class 3, Grade 12 on the stage, although they had already guessed, still felt somewhat incredulous.

The song they rehearsed so many times was actually written by Jiang Xun himself!

Jiang Shen, awesome!

Some art students, including Chen Shixuan, could only watch from the audience because they hadn't participated in the rehearsals.

They all had mixed feelings, and their regret was palpable.

Chen Shixuan, in particular, felt like she wanted to beat Jiang Xun to death. Why didn't he tell her that he wrote the song himself?

If she had known that Jiang Xun wrote the song, she would have insisted on attending their rehearsals no matter what.

In fact, Jiang Xun had asked her several times if she wanted to participate in the choir, but she declined each time because she didn't have time to rehearse.

At this moment, she could only blame everything on Jiang Xun, and she was determined to "bite" him to death when he came down.

Just then, a unified recitation suddenly rang out from the stage.

The wisdom of the youth is the wisdom of the nation!

A nation's wealth depends on its youth!

A strong youth makes a strong nation!

The freedom of the youth is the freedom of the nation!

WC!
The moment the first line of recitation came out, everyone in the audience felt a chill run down their spines.

No... you guys are just reciting, why are you making such a fuss, like you've been injected with chicken blood?

That sound is absolutely stunning!

These few short lines of lyrics somehow evoked a feeling of excitement and passion.

The wisdom of the youth is the wisdom of the nation!

A nation's wealth depends on its youth!

……

However, when it played a second time, some background noise inevitably appeared.

"Is this a choir competition or a recitation competition? Why is everyone reciting?"

"Although those guys in Class 3 are really passionate, there's no need to do it a second time."

"Didn't they say Jiang Xun composed the music? Could it be that his composition is just for accompanying recitations?"

"That's...f***ing creative."

……

Just then, the accompaniment melody slowly began to play, and Jiang Xun, standing in the very center of the choir, picked up the microphone.

The rising sun shines brightly, illuminating the path ahead.

[The river flows out and flows into the ocean]

[A dragon rises from the abyss, its scales and claws flashing]

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

Unlike his previous low, husky, and gentle rendition of "As You Wish," Jiang Xun's voice this time carried a hint of passion and excitement.
It even has a sense of arrogance and domineering, like a young tiger opening its mouth and roaring to the sky.

The passion and excitement everyone felt during their recitation were further amplified by his singing.

Everyone in the audience stared wide-eyed at the proud young man standing there.

They never imagined that just a few lines of lyrics, when combined with such a melody, would become so exhilarating.

The melody is actually not complicated, in fact, it's quite simple, and not as amazing as one might imagine.

The reason it was so inspiring was partly due to the preceding recitation, and partly thanks to Jiang Xun's singing.

Some music teachers in the crowd, or those with higher appreciation levels like Yang Huimin, could tell that the melody in the first few lines was mediocre. If the entire piece had the same melody and arrangement, it could only be considered of a very ordinary level.

However, it is clear that everyone has oversimplified the situation.

The following chorus is the truly dazzling and soul-stirring melody that will leave everyone breathless.

After Jiang Xun uttered the final phrase, "All beasts tremble in fear," there was only a brief pause before the entire class erupted in a burst of passionate, high-spirited voices—

Youth has its own youthful exuberance!

[His body stands tall and unyielding, like mountains and rivers!]

[We dare to measure the sun and moon again!]

Today, I am but a young man!

[Daring to challenge the heavens and earth, let's test our mettle!]

[Unstoppable in our advance!]

The world may laugh at me, but I will strive to be stronger!

Live up to your youth!

The moment the whole class sang those few lines of the chorus together...

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!!!"

Everyone in the room felt their scalp tingle and their whole body covered in goosebumps.

This song is already very energetic and inspiring, but now it's being sung loudly by dozens of teenagers... that feeling is just terrifying!

The fusion of male and female voices is like a sharp sword, truly conveying the power of "daring to challenge heaven and earth, cutting through thorns and brambles, who can stop me?"

Many people subconsciously looked at the original text, only to be shocked to find that they couldn't find those lyrics.

Without a doubt, Jiang Xun added this himself!
This is what lyrics should be! This is the kind of writing a teenager should be producing!
A few words instantly boosted the song's energy by several notches.

People were already aroused by the passionate recitation at the beginning, and now their emotions exploded! Many students stood up, their faces flushed, and shouted.

"it is good!!!"

"Jiang Shen is awesome!!"

……

However, before the crowd's emotions had completely subsided, the students from Class 3 on stage began reciting again—

The wisdom of the youth is the wisdom of the nation!

A nation's wealth depends on its youth!

……

After reciting the poem, Jiang Xun immediately sang the second half, continuing until the line "The future is as vast as the sea, and the days ahead are long."

What followed was, of course, an inspiring chorus.

The first chorus uses the lyrics and melody from the previous chorus.

But after singing it once, everyone simultaneously raised the key, and the accompaniment became even more upbeat—

Youth has its own youthful exuberance!

My heart shines like the blazing sun!

No matter how many difficulties I face, I will overcome them!

Today, I am but a young man!

The sky is high, the sea is vast, and the land stretches for ten thousand miles!

[The spirit of Chinese youth shines brightly!]

Strive to become a pillar of society!

Live up to your youth!

The brand-new original lyrics, the rising melody, and the progressively deepening emotions bring this song to its climax.

Everyone in the audience held their breath, clenched their fists, and were immersed in the powerful voice of the young man.

After everyone finished singing together, Jiang Xun's clear, firm voice, full of youthful spirit, rang out alone—

[Strive to become a pillar of society!]

Live up to your youthful days!

It seemed the song had come to an end, and people stood up, excited and thrilled, ready to applaud.

But the next moment——

All the girls from Class 3 on stage stepped forward and said in a loud voice:
"The heavens and earth are vast, the universe is boundless, Chinese youth, stand tall and strive for self-improvement!"

Immediately afterwards, the whole class recited in unison:
"How beautiful is my young China, as timeless as the heavens!"

"How magnificent are the youth of China, whose spirit knows no bounds with the nation!!"
