So when Xu Fan sang the chorus, Zhao Feiyang sat up straight, and Chen Yuanyuan's eyes widened.
The viewers in the live stream were speechless.
Because at this moment, it seems difficult to express the deep love I have for this song in any words.
Xu Fan said that the song title is about a city, but this city could also be the city he is standing in.
The difference between "Beijing Beijing" and "Chengdu" is that "Chengdu" is more peaceful and leisurely, with small bars on Yulin Road and young couples on the street.
Both the lyrics and melody should be more relaxed and simple. However, "Beijing Beijing" is a completely different style. The powerful feeling brought by the chords makes many people feel that if this song were played by a different instrument instead of a guitar, it might be better.
Even so, the song is very good, and it has a lot of power.
Xu Fan's voice continued to come through.
"The café is three blocks from the plaza, like the distance from a neon light to the moon."
People comforted and embraced each other in their struggle, searching for and chasing after their dying, shattered dreams!
Cafes correspond to neon lights, and squares correspond to the moon.
The struggle, the solace, the embrace, and the shattered dreams are experiences that only those with deep imprints of growing up can truly understand.
Laughter versus tears, living versus dying, praying for a lost heart, searching for what has been lost.
Beijing, Beijing, the latter carries an added touch of sadness. The lyrics of this song always have a strong sense of self-reflection.
Netizens—especially those who work or live away from home—feel the same way.
Those who were brainwashed by Xu Fan's "Old Boy" and deeply love this song have finally discovered another song that they can't help but love.
Suddenly, a donation appeared in the live stream, bright and eye-catching, accompanied by a message.
"The migrant workers gave Xu Fan a paper airplane—Brother Fan, please blame us for not recognizing you last night. Thank you for this song, it's really, really good. We will continue to work hard and strive in this city."
The message that followed the gift was clearly visible to netizens.
Immediately, various discussions arose one after another.
It's understandable that some people didn't recognize him, given that it was nighttime and he was in Beijing.
Some people said, "It's such a pity. If you had recognized me, we could have had a lot to talk about yesterday."
But the person who gave the gift said, "Brother Fan is very enthusiastic. Even though he didn't recognize us, he still drank with us for a while and chatted with us. Thank you, Brother Fan."
Countless netizens expressed envy and jealousy—but couldn't bring themselves to hate.
Xu Fan's voice continued, and after repeating "I am alive here," another line in Xu Fan's chorus resonated with everyone once again.
If one day I have to leave
I hope people will bury me here.
I can feel my own presence here.
There are so many things here that I cherish.
"
These few lines of lyrics truly amazed many people, and that special feeling suddenly welled up in their hearts.
Everyone who lives in this city will die someday, or may leave.
If one day I have to leave, I hope people will bury me here in this city.
I can feel my own existence here because there are so many things in this city that I cherish. This city has nothing to do with Yanjing (Beijing), it's just because I've lived in this city for so long.
"It was poverty that brought us together here. Who knows when I will leave this city, if one day..."
"Please bury me here, for here are the things I cherish." Why are these lyrics so touching?
"This is life. The more experiences you have, the more feelings you have. It's a pity that you can never go back. The road ahead is uncertain, but we still have to move forward. It's destiny, and some things are beyond our control!"
"Many things in life are a matter of chance; what you deliberately pursue may elude you, while what you never expect often arrives unexpectedly. You should maintain a calm mind, free from resentment, impatience, and the need to be demanding, pessimistic, calm, and dignified. Do not be elated by external gains or saddened by personal losses; let everything take its course and follow the natural course."
"Listening to this song makes all my worries disappear. Life is short, so live it in a way that suits you and makes you happy."
"Listening quietly, I found myself unconsciously drawn into sadness. Laughter, tears, living, dying, bewilderment."
"Today I actually cried while listening to this song, I cried so hard, so very hard. Beijing, Beijing, a city that is both familiar and strange. I lived there for a long time many years ago, but I've long since left. I left behind so many memories in that city."
"Beijing is not just a place name or geographical location; for those who work hard, any city is a good place. Thank you, Brother Fan, thank you for singing such a beautiful song for us."
Zhao Feiyang stared at the comments in the live stream, speechless for a long time.
He probably doesn't have as many feelings as those netizens, after all, he just graduated not long ago.
After graduation, he and Xu Fan lived a relatively comfortable life in Zhonghai, a city in Taiwan.
But he could understand how many people felt. As he read the comments and listened to Xu Fan's songs, he felt a deep sadness in his heart.
This song doesn't refer to the city of Beijing, because for those struggling to make a living, it applies to any city.
These words deeply moved Zhao Feiyang.
We are all insignificant, yet we live bravely in this city.
Xu Fan put down his guitar, stood up, held the microphone in both hands, and softly sang the final note—Beijing Beijing!
The song title being repeated twice in a row startled everyone.
Zhao Feiyang was the first to applaud, and Chen Yuanyuan also sincerely said, "I have lived in this city for a long time, thank you for writing such a beautiful song."
Xu Fan smiled slightly and said to Chen Yuanyuan, "I'll record it when I get back. It will sound even better with accompaniment."
These words were spoken by Xu Fan to Chen Yuanyuan, but the fans in the live stream naturally heard them clearly.
Zhao Feiyang had deliberately moved away, and now, coupled with a female voice, the live stream chat exploded again.
Most people were still engrossed in the song, but some were already focused on who had spoken and whether it was Fan Ge's girlfriend.
That's how live streaming works. Because you're not in the same environment, even if you sing the same song, everyone's experience will be different, and you won't be affected by other people's emotions.
Some people cried while listening to the song, while others found it pleasant to listen to but not tear-jerking.
Therefore, the style of the live stream changed drastically at this moment.
"Holy crap, what did I just hear?! There's a girl next to Fan Ge, and her voice is so sweet!"
"I love it! Brother Fan, let her go, let me have her! Um, what should I do if I want to hear this girl sing?"
"Damn it, Fatty, move the camera quickly, I want to see the pretty girl."
"You damn fatso, move the camera now and give me back Lingling Qi!"
"What? So Linglingqi is Linglingqi? No wonder!"
The live stream chat was buzzing with discussion. Zhao Feiyang was extremely embarrassed and coughed awkwardly, saying, "Everyone, don't worry, there are definitely pretty girls there, but..."
"The young emperor's eighteen concubines rewarded Xu Fan with a sweet-coated bullet—Brother Fatty, no need to say more, we're kindred spirits, I understand, I understand."
Zhao Feiyang was taken aback, then said dejectedly, "What do you know?"
"The Little Emperor's Eighteen Concubines rewarded Xu Fan with Evergreen Tree +100 - Fatty, move the camera quickly."
Zhao Feiyang was extremely embarrassed. Most importantly, with the donation from the Little Emperor's Eighteen Concubines, many people suddenly started donating like crazy. Zhao Feiyang awkwardly said to Xu Fan, "Why are all your fans male?"
A prominent donation message appeared, along with a striking comment: "Can't women look at pretty girls?"
Zhao Feiyang was speechless. Xu Fan said, "I will record this song after I return to Zhonghai, and then everyone will be able to hear the full version of the music."
Finally, I hope everyone who is wandering far from home can bravely move forward. The place we live in may not be perfect, but we still live here, don't we? Goodbye everyone!
After Xu Fan finished speaking, he waved his hand.
Zhao Feiyang nodded and said, "Alright, my dear friends, thank you for watching, see you next time."
Zhao Feiyang amiably shut down the live stream, laughing as he said, "All your fans just want to see me give them a hard time, really."
Xu Fan chuckled, and Chen Yuanyuan pointed to the tea on the table and said, "Have some tea!"

===Chapter 208 Happy Birthday===
There are many rules to follow when it comes to drinking tea.
When Xu Fan finished singing, Chen Yuanyuan had already poured out the first cup of tea, a process commonly known as "awakening the tea."
Pour a full cup for Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang, then invite them to tea, calling it "please have some tea!"
Xu Fan put the guitar aside, and Zhao Feiyang stood up, his obese body standing up. He put away his phone, walked over, and said, "Let me see what kind of tea it is?"
Chen Yuanyuan said, "Oolong tea."
Xu Fan said, "Oolong tea is mild in nature, neither hot nor cold, making it most suitable for autumn."
Chen Yuanyuan looked up at Xu Fan and asked, "You know about tea?"
Xu Fan shook his head and said, "I just like drinking it."
As he spoke, Xu Fan picked up the teacup, gently brought it to his nose, smelled it, and then took a small sip.
It has a slightly bitter taste at first, but leaves a sweet aftertaste after swallowing, prompting one to exclaim, "What a fine tea!"
Zhao Feiyang chuckled and sat down beside him, saying, "I'll try some too."
On the fourth-floor platform of the villa, Xu Fan and two others were enjoying tea and discussing philosophy.
I was just chatting.
However, Xu Fan's song sparked endless discussions online.
Following Hangzhou's "Broken Bridge in Lingering Snow" and Chengdu's "Chengdu," another regional song, "Beijing Beijing," has emerged.
Yanjing is the capital of China, so its fame is naturally extremely high, and any Chinese person is naturally very familiar with this city.
Of course, most of them are both familiar and unfamiliar, because many people have never actually been there, but everyone has longed to go.
Xu Fan's song, sung under the real name of Yanjing, expresses the attitude and longing of the city's most vulnerable and busiest people towards a certain life.
Many people can only admire Xu Fan.
A city, a song.
Many people still remember clearly the Weibo post that Xu Fan once made.
So after Xu Fan finished singing "Beijing Beijing", many people flocked to comment on his Weibo post, almost all of them inviting him to sing.
