Get the perfect music system at the start

Just then, as everyone was looking forward to it, Pu Sihan on stage spoke up. Aunt Mei smiled and said, "Then let's welcome our first guest tonight, our big star Xu Fan."

===Chapter 898 is worth studying===

Tonight is the first cultural performance since the earthquake in Gansu Province.

As the first person to go on stage, Xu Fan naturally prepared very seriously. He was neither special nor particularly advantageous, but he chose to go first, hoping that everyone would make the whole scene more lively through his appearance.

Perhaps only such a scene could instantly liven up the somber atmosphere for everyone present. Many people were looking forward to Xu Fan's appearance, because they all knew that he would definitely appear tonight, but they didn't know the order in which he would appear.

For most people, it's understandable that they like Xu Fan's appearance tonight; what they're really looking forward to is what song he'll sing—an old song he's sung before.

Or will he sing a new song? Many people are looking forward to all these questions. Of course, even more people are also looking forward to who these so-called big stars and singers are, what they look like, and whether they are any different from ordinary people like us.

Especially for many ordinary people, they may not have heard of Xu Fan's name, or even know what a big star looks like. They only learned that a big star had come to the scene today through the loudspeakers in Xuancheng.

Of course, many more people saw Xu Fan's live coverage on television, and even more people personally witnessed Xu Fan singing. While bringing different kinds of music to everyone, Xu Fan also made more people braver and stronger to survive this disaster.

Many people couldn't believe that Xu Fan would be the first to appear tonight. Regardless of the outcome, at least the moment Xu Fan stepped onto the stage, everyone in the audience cheered, applauded, and shouted.

Whether they knew each other or not, everyone applauded without hesitation at this moment. Perhaps for them, having the opportunity to stand with Xu Fan tonight, even though there was still a distance between the stage and the audience, was enough for them to brag about.

Yes, for many ordinary people, being able to meet Xu Fan is something to brag about, especially for those who have never attended a Xu Fan concert but have always wanted to.

For those fans who had tried countless times to buy tickets but never succeeded, this was even more true. This was an open-air concert, a special concert held by Xu Fan at Gan Shen, even if Fan might only sing one song tonight.

But they were really looking forward to Xu Fan's performance tonight. They were shouting Xu Fan's name and calling out his name from below the stage, expressing their love for Xu Fan in their own way.

At this moment, Xu Fan showed no emotion or thought. He held the microphone, which was rather old; perhaps it was a microphone and sound system temporarily allocated by Gansu Provincial Television, so it looked quite ordinary.

The sound quality wasn't particularly good, but it was enough for Xu Fan. Without hesitation, he grabbed the microphone and ran to the small stage. Compared to the Bird's Nest stage, this stage was pitifully small, but he felt perfectly comfortable with it.

His gaze was fixed on his delicious meal, and the crowd looked at each of them with a mixture of disappointment, sadness, and despair. Yet, he chose to smile, smiling as he looked at everyone present.

He waved his hands and said, "Dear friends here, hello, I'm Xu Fan. It's an honor to bring you this presentation today. But I don't think such a scene would happen again, because I don't want an earthquake like this to happen again."

His words were simple, devoid of any emotion or unnecessary details. He was simply expressing his thoughts in a straightforward manner. His gaze swept over everyone as he continued, "Many people should be here tonight, but some family members are unable to be here with us. In fact, I shouldn't be saying this tonight..."

But right now, at this moment, I hope everyone can be brave, and I hope everyone can become better, because we are all the same. I am just as strong as you, and I have also shed tears.

What I've seen is the same as what you've seen; what's lost may be similar as well. That's why I'm here not just to sing a song, but to hope that my voice can make you braver. What's lost is lost, and can never be recovered.

So shouldn't we, who are alive, live better? The song I've sung countless times, I still hope to sing again tonight.

As Xu Fan spoke, the sounds of morning tea filled the air. Everyone in the South China Sea was expressing their affection for Xu Fan in their own unique ways, constantly professing their love or other sentiments.

To them, Xu Fan tonight seemed completely ordinary. He was just like a regular person, dressed in ordinary clothes, without any makeup or special appearance. There was no screen projector on stage.

However, many people could clearly see that because the stage was small and the number of people present was relatively small, everyone could clearly see Xu Fan, his expression, and his movements.

Every word Xu Fan said reached everyone's ears, and they naturally became excited because Xu Fan was rapping a song that everyone was familiar with, a song he had sung many times.

During this period, Xu Fan tirelessly traveled to every corner of the disaster area, singing countless songs. However, the song he sang most often was still "Just Like You." This song is a charity song currently sung by the Red Association, and many people can sing it. Because Xu Fan truly conveyed the feelings in everyone's hearts through this song, and now Xu Fan is going to sing this song.

Naturally, the moment the music started and Xu Fan began to sing, everyone in the audience spontaneously began to sing along, singing "Back Then, Just Like You" with Xu Fan.

The lyrics of "Just Like You" are incredibly simple, but the moment Xu Fan and everyone in the audience sang it, even without an intro or accompaniment, even though they were all ordinary people, even though the music sounded noisy...

Even though the microphone wasn't the best quality, the lyrics sung in unison by everyone in the audience were so touching and moving, even for Xu Fan, who was standing on the stage watching everyone sing along.

Deep down, he couldn't help but feel moved and excited. Before this, when he first started singing in the disaster area as a music master, many people around him, whether soldiers, helpers, or even children, would sing along.

He was moved by the sight of everyone singing back then, and tonight, in this cultural performance created by Gansu Province and the disaster area, Xu Fan was the first to perform. When he sang the first song, "Just Like You," the scene of everyone in the audience joining in singing was truly breathtaking. Xu Fan felt he would probably never forget it for the rest of his life.

Because that scene was truly heartbreaking. Some people sang along and tears streamed down their faces, while others listened and couldn't help but burst into tears. Just like you, everyone was the same.

The applause and singing from the audience all combined to express their appreciation for Xu Fan's choice to sing tonight. Even the soldiers backstage couldn't help but sing along as they listened to the songs.

Commander Liu and his soldiers quieted down to rest for a while. Their gazes fell upon Xu Fan on the stage, filled with respect and awe, because in their preconceived notions…

Singers, or most people in the entertainment industry, are relatively devoid of compassion, or rather, much of their compassion is expressed through direct confrontation. This isn't to say that those who directly confront others' compassion aren't compassionate.

It's rare to see someone like Xu Fan personally involved, arriving at the scene immediately to rescue those affected by the earthquake alongside them.

He still treated it like a major rescue operation, tirelessly traveling to every corner of the disaster area to sing. All these issues prove that Xu Fan is indeed different from many other celebrities.

These differences weren't just about Xu Fan's physique, but also about his movements and his spirit—a spirit that sometimes even warranted emulation. At this moment, Liu Shan's spirit truly felt worthy of learning from.

So he earnestly said to his soldiers, "We should all be like him. Yes, we should be like him, or rather, we are inherently like him. But if we look at it from a different perspective, if we are not soldiers..."

From the perspective of someone in the entertainment industry, can you do this? I hope that whether you become bodyguards like Zhao Wen and others, or continue in your respective positions, each of you can maintain this wholehearted dedication and love.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded earnestly. Even if the members of the Flowing Clan hadn't told them, they could see many things they could learn from Xu Fan. Therefore, they all nodded respectfully as they listened to Xu Fan with rapt attention.

At this moment, Xu Fan had finished singing his song on stage, leaving everyone in the audience somewhat reluctant to leave. It must be said that this song truly brought a unique feeling to many people, as it seemed to give them a sudden surge of energy to live, or a desire to hear something different in the music.

Being able to feel the existence of each person, each with their own unique meaning, and perhaps the best feedback we can give to this world is for everyone to be alive. Many people don't necessarily like a particular singer...

How could it possibly bring any power to the world? That's all virtual. But everyone who heard Xu Fan sing realized that sometimes, all of this can be truly moving.

Xu Fan's singing is so affectionate and earnest. When he sings each lyric, everyone can feel the difference in the music because the meaning expressed in the lyrics is completely different.

Applause and cheers erupted from the audience. Everyone expressed their deep affection for Xu Fan on stage in their own way. This affection was perhaps more than just the fans' love for the singer; it was the affection of an ordinary person for another outstanding ordinary person. At that moment, Xu Fan was already very noble in their eyes. This nobility was not about being outstanding or unattainable, but rather the feeling of someone who was clearly excellent yet right before their eyes. This feeling was truly special and different.

Xu Fan didn't leave the stage after finishing the song, because he had already prepared before, or rather, before going on stage that night. He had already formed his mind before he even had a moment of inspiration.

He first sang "Just Like You" to get everyone moving and help them emerge from the sadness. Then he sang another song called "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky," a song Xu Fan once sang to an online friend, hoping that many people could use it to overcome sadness and despair.

Especially at this time, when an earthquake strikes, in the face of disaster, he hopes everyone can see the brightest star in the night sky, and that everyone has a brightest star guiding them.

He can move forward bravely and fearlessly. He also believes that no matter how difficult the world is, the brightest star in the night sky will still guide him and everyone else on the scene.

This was something Xu Fan and the on-site staff had discussed beforehand, so no one rushed them, including the host, Pu Sihan. Xu Fan stood on the stage...

He waved to every audience member and said, "Please allow me to stand on this stage and shamelessly perform another new song for you all."

Xu Fan's "shameless" remark caused a burst of laughter from the audience. Everyone knew Xu Fan was joking, but his simple approach made even more people like him.

He looked so ordinary, so kind and approachable, yet at this moment he still calmly gazed at everyone, and continued, "This is still an old song, a song written a long time ago..."

At that time, I saw a story online. In the story, he was desperate and couldn't find a way forward, so I decided to sing this song to everyone. Many of you may already know it; yes, this song is "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky."

When he finished speaking, many people cheered and were very excited. They waved their hands back, some started humming to themselves, some cheered, and some were looking forward to it. But Xu Fan on the stage did not make any move.

The music had already started, and he closed his eyes slightly and began to sing.

……

The brightest star in the night sky,

Can you hear me?

The person looking up

The loneliness and sighs in my heart.

(End of this chapter)

===Chapter 899 The Most Beautiful Smile===

In a sense, Xu Fan tonight is no longer a true giant standing at the pinnacle; he is simply an ordinary person willing to sing for the people in the disaster area.

But in another sense, Xu Fan tonight is even greater than most people think of him as a giant, and he is even more admirable and respectable.

Xu Fan sang earnestly on stage, and so did the audience below. Like the brightest stars in the night sky, they illuminated every aspect of human nature, and everyone subconsciously fell silent while Xu Fan sang.

Then they listened to the song, absorbing every word of the lyrics. Many people started singing along with Xu Fan; they had heard the song many times before. "The brightest star in the night sky guides us forward."

There is so much hope, so many dreams worth pursuing for this group. These dreams constantly guide us forward in the darkness. Xu Fan's singing seems to possess a certain power, making everyone who wants to live bravely at this moment even more earnest.

His gaze remained fixed quietly on each of them, making no unnecessary movements towards Xu Fan and the others. They simply sang along earnestly with Xu Fan, "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky," tonight everything was being faced with utmost respect.

Tonight's performance was unlike any other, proving just how amazing it was. Xu Fan, the first person to go on stage, sang two songs instead of just one.

The first song is the well-known "Just Like You," and the second song is also one that many people have listened to more than once and love very much: "The Brightest Heart in the Night Sky." This song is extremely simple, yet it holds a special meaning.

Especially for those who have once despaired because of something, they can find hope in this song; they can find echoes of the past in this song. And for many people at the disaster site, they have experienced a catastrophe.

Having experienced a story of despair, some were rescued from the ruins, while others were relatively lucky and in good health, but perhaps faced the loss of loved ones or the tragic loss of life.

Listening to Xu Fan's songs, they were deeply moved and grew to like the songs even more. Xu Fan, however, didn't think too much about it, because for him, singing one song or two songs was essentially the same.

The song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" was the result of discussions between Xu Fan and Commander Liu. Xu Fan had sung this song more than once because he felt that it could truly help some people find their goals in the darkness and find hope in failure and setbacks.

Finding a way forward amidst despair is a profoundly meaningful experience, and Commander Liu, after hearing the song, also recognized its significance, feeling that many of Xu Fan's songs are truly unique.

This song, in particular, truly evokes deep emotions. For Xu Fan, singing a song is a way to help more people find peace of mind through music and to be more courageous about their future.

For Commander Liu and the staff of Henan County TV Station, everything tonight—whether it was Xu Fan's singing performance or other performances—ultimately aimed to help more people emerge from their grief.

May they have hope and strength to face all these dangers and persevere to the end. Xu Fan sang on stage, and the audience below followed suit, staying up all night.

The words "The Brightest Heart in the Sky" were sung out word by word by everyone. Even those who couldn't sing waved their hands. There were no glow sticks, because simplicity was key at this moment.

Many people simply bit their hands, while others used nearby tree branches as substitutes for glow sticks to express their liking for Xu Fan and their appreciation for the song.

Many independent media outlets watched Xu Fan on stage without hesitation at that moment. Of course, even more were not independent media accounts, but rather journalists with professional photographers capturing the moments on these forty-four stages.

Whether it was the audience in front of the television or the countless viewers online following the earthquake disaster, they had been paying close attention to tonight's performance. Xu Fan took the stage first, performing "Just Like You," which shocked the entire audience. Another song, "The Brightest Heart in the Night Sky," completely filled everyone with hope and imagination for tonight's cultural performance.

The live stream was flooded with all sorts of messages, with countless bullet comments and discussions about whether Xu Fan would sing a new song at tonight's cultural performance. So far, Xu Fan has been singing two old songs, both of which are sure to be a hit with the audience.

Of course, more importantly, the songs Xu Fan sang tonight truly can guide many people and make them braver. And at that very moment, a storm of messages appeared online...

Of course, these messages were not clearly seen, but that does not prevent their existence; they express different or similar opinions in various places on the internet.

"I met Xu Fan a year ago during the mudslide at Gan Shen. We sang a hymn, 'Just Like You,' during that time. I had just started high school."

I'm still just a high school sophomore, but seeing Xu Fan now, everything has changed. Fan-ge is no longer the same person he was a year ago. He's become even more outstanding and even more lovable.

"I must admit that Fan Ge's demands are innate, or perhaps they are acquired, but in any case, I started liking Fan Ge last year. Last year's mudslide made me realize how extraordinary he is, and this year's earthquake made me know that he truly deserves the respect of each and every one of us."

"I remember he was just an ordinary person back then, and now he has become a true superstar. But whether it was then or now, he is still so kind and approachable, and he still rushes to the scene every time."

"Perhaps this is the difference between superstars and ordinary people, perhaps this is the gap between those beauties and actresses in the entertainment industry and true superstars. Brother Chen, I like you, I like every song of yours, I like your beautiful women, and I like everything you do."

"I am the one who has done this, and I must say, at this moment, my heart is filled with hope because of the arrival of Van Gogh and those real people. I don't deny Van Gogh's abilities, but I must also say that Van Gogh is just one of those who have helped all of us."

"There are many heroes in this world. Whether it's Fan Ge or others, the emotions they all express are worthy of our respect and admiration."

"The world is vast, and everyone wants to explore it, but there are also many dangers. Not everyone has the courage or the bravery to face all of this. Brother Fan, I support you."

Highly reported news kept appearing online, but Xu Fan never paid any attention to it. In his mind, none of it mattered anymore; he believed that the ultimate goal of everything was the same as his own.

His purpose in coming here was to save the injured people lying in the disaster area, to fill those who were saddened by loss and shed tears of helplessness with hope, and to give them the courage to live on. This was Xu Fan's most important goal and his greatest hope for coming here.
