A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

In addition to the support from the cultural and tourism sectors of various provinces, the official Weibo account of the Kyoto Military Region also updated a message.

However, their promotional focus is on the song "With Me".

"The song 'With Me' is now available. This song is for you on guard duty, for you guarding the border, for you on your voyages, and for everyone who silently protects others in their ordinary posts. For soldiers, 'With Me' means that with me here, the motherland can rest assured. For the people, 'With Me' means that with me here, home is home. Thank you, Su Fan, for writing a new chapter in this military uniform. Salute!"

With this wave of promotion, it's hard for the song "With Me" not to become a hit.

Major official accounts reposted the story, tourist attractions related to revolutionary history jumped on the bandwagon, and the military region officially endorsed it.

With the support of many parties, the song's popularity exploded.

Of course, this song did not disappoint.

When you click on the song, the intro is a clear piano piece, playing at a leisurely pace.

Then Su Fan's voice came in, neither too loud nor too soft, with a calm, narrative quality.

"The world asks you who you are and where you come from, please answer."

What do you love, what do you dream of, where do you go? Please answer.

The answer is a hundred years.

……

When this part came out, many people were stunned.

This is not a song, it's a question and answer session.

The world is asking everyone.

who are you?

where are you from?

Where are you going?

What do you love?

What are you dreaming about?

The answer isn't in any one person's mouth, but in the span of a hundred years.

One hundred years is an answer sheet written by countless people with their youth and passion.

The music video features black and white flashback images.

In the black and white image, the young faces are not clearly visible.

But their eyes shone just as brightly as people's today.

The mountains are high and the roads are long, the scenery is boundless, and a hundred years is but a blink of an eye.

But generation after generation of young people, filled with sincerity, have never stopped striving.

A hundred years is not the answer of one person, but the answer of a group of people.

Su Fan's voice rose slightly, as if answering on behalf of those young people who had already gone far away.

"I come from the sun beside the desk amidst the smoke of battle."

He and she pledged their vows to fight the battle.

From that burning youth that was just like mine.

……

The scene shifts to a simple school building where teachers and students are having classes in an air-raid shelter, with the roar of enemy planes overhead.

With the accompanying visuals, everyone truly felt that the sun beside the desk and the people fighting on the battlefield represented a generation.

They are on different battlefields, but they are protecting the same dream.

"From the side of an ordinary couple in the world"

From yesterday, who dedicated their youth to lofty ideals?

My hometown, which I will not yield an inch of!

I am stubborn and will never give in.

Taking over the original aspirations of countless passionate individuals

When there is a volume to respond to the world

……

The scene shifts to a young soldier standing on the border line.

The subtitles read: "We will never allow our territory to shrink, and we will never lose our sovereignty!"

Su Fan's voice continued to rise, carrying a youthful spirit.

How to describe tomorrow as being like me

Inheriting integrity while possessing sharpness, and having dreams makes one indomitable.

Where to go, to the highest imagination

"Never forget your original intention as you journey to the bright moon and stars"

……

The camera then cuts to Jinggang Mountain.

The lights of the octagonal building swayed in the night.

A young tour guide recounts that arduous and extraordinary period to the tourists.

The scene shifts to Pagoda Hill in Yan'an, where a group of college students unfurl a Party flag at the foot of the pagoda and reaffirm their oath of joining the Party.

Switching to Xibaipo, several teenagers stood in front of the meeting site, peering through the mottled windows as if searching for something.

Perhaps they are the footprints left by those great men of yesteryear.

Perhaps this is the answer that belongs to their generation.

Someone wrote in the comments: "To carry on the spirit is to take the flag from our predecessors; to have sharpness is to forge our own path. This is what tomorrow should look like!"

Su Fan's voice became more resolute, like someone making a promise.

"I'll take responsibility for how I make my appearance in the future."

You can only applaud that kind of brilliance.

I'll protect you from afar!

My name is where I stand.

Wu~

"My appearance is what tomorrow will look like."

……

The scene shifts to the Martyrs' Memorial Tower, where an elderly veteran with white hair, supported by his family, tremblingly raises his right hand to salute the tower.

Behind him, a group of elementary school students lined up in neat rows, gently placing the white flowers in their hands on the base of the tower.

The veteran's face was covered in wrinkles.

Children's eyes are full of innocence.

But their postures are the same.

Standing straight, with a firm gaze.

The song lingered in my mind long after I finished listening.

The CCTV host commented on the song immediately.

"The song 'With Me' responds to the three most fundamental questions young people ask."

who am I?

I am a Chinese youth who carries the spirit of integrity and has a sharp edge; I am a stubborn young man who will never bow my head.

Where are they from?

The sunlight from the desks amidst the smoke of battle, the burning years of youth, and the sincere dedication of youth to lofty ideals.

where to go?

With our hearts set on reaching for the stars and the sea, we remain true to our original aspirations, shoulder the responsibility for the future, and answer the world with our voices.

……

It was a rare occasion for the Ye family to gather together today. The table was laden with dishes, but no one's attention was on the food.

The TV was on, but the volume was just enough to hear clearly.

After the song "With Me" finished playing, the living room was quiet for a while.

Ye Beichen put down his chopsticks and said, "From now on, you can only befriend this Su Fan; you're not allowed to have any ulterior motives towards him."

Ye Xuan scoffed dismissively, "It's just singing a song, why make it sound like you're flattering someone..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Beichen slammed his hand on the table, making the dishes rattle and startling everyone in the room: "If you're a member of the Ye family, you should acknowledge others' excellence. Gossiping behind their backs shows no tolerance whatsoever!"

Ye Wangcheng immediately followed up with, "Are you asking for trouble?"

Ye Xuan's face flushed red, his lips trembled a few times, but he ultimately didn't dare to utter a sound.

Ye Sicheng quickly stood up to smooth things over: "Dad, please calm down. Xiao Xuan just spoke without thinking, he didn't mean it."

Ye Beichen snorted coldly, ignoring his words, and stared at Ye Sicheng, saying each word clearly: "Second brother, remember this, tell those people in the company not to make any trouble for that Su Fan. If anyone is dissatisfied, tell them to come directly to me."

Ye Sicheng was taken aback for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Dad, is it really necessary?"

Ye Beichen said, "I've been keeping an eye on that kid these days. Look at him, every step he's taken from his rise to power has been purposeful. First, he cultivated a good relationship with the cultural and tourism system, and now he's established connections with the military. You should all learn a lot from his shrewdness."

Ye Sicheng nodded: "Yes, we will try to avoid direct conflict with him in the future."

Ye Beichen's tone suddenly became more serious: "It's not about avoiding, it's about absolutely not. The relationships he built up on his own are secondary. This young man is not simple. He is the most talented and responsible young man I have seen in all these years. This kind of person is the hope of the country. In short, if he encounters any problems in the future, you should help him if you can. Even if you can't help, you must not trip him up."

No one in the room spoke.

No one expected that the old man would give such high praise to a young man in his early twenties.

The whole family listened to what the old man said.

Only Ye Xuan's eyes were filled with resentment.
