"The Star Foundation, the Star Foundation, Brother Xu's Star Foundation fills me with hope for the future. If there are no problems, or if no problems arise, I believe that the Star Foundation will definitely appear at the disaster sites in various disaster areas in the future, and their donations will be everywhere."
"What pleases me most is still the Van Gogh Foundation's gathering, which promptly disclosed the flow of all funds and supplies. I also believe that the future will be even better, because the Star Foundation has been truly inspiring from the very beginning."
"Whether the Star Foundation accepts donations or not, I hope I can contribute my modest efforts in the future. Although I hope there will be no more danger in this world, everyone understands that danger exists everywhere in this world."
"It's truly a sad story, one that no one can understand, but we must also admit that Fan Ge's all-out effort tells us that we should all bravely live on."
"Many protagonists in stories are like this, but today's Fan Ge is so ordinary. I admire him, and at the same time, I feel a lot of affection for him."
"Keep going, Fan Ge! No matter what others say, in my eyes you'll always be the best. I also believe your future will only get better and better. No matter what happens today, your future will definitely be even better than we imagine."
No matter how wonderful the story may be, everyone present at that moment clearly understood that Fan Ge's performance tonight was truly admirable. The 50 million yuan donation arrived so easily, and everyone was talking about it all day.
However, many people on the first floor of the disaster area did not stop their work. Nearly five days had passed since the earthquake, enough time for a large-scale rescue effort. Those still trapped in the rubble were unlikely to survive. Everyone understood this, but no one chose to give up. They would do everything in their power given any opportunity.
Xu Fan was still preparing for tonight's cultural performance. This wasn't just one performance; there were four in total, starting last night, and Xu Feng would sing at each one. Xu Fan was already used to all of this.
He also believes in his future and will do his best to sing every song well. Many things in life have meaning in themselves, and for him, singing is, in a sense, the greatest meaning in his life.
That's why he goes all out to do everything well, and he's too confident that this approach will bring him more success.
Various messages circulated online, but one thing had to be acknowledged: everyone in the world openly knew that what Xu Fan had done was as it was. On this day of preparation, Xu Fan...
He witnessed all sorts of good and bad. He saw people stealing food at the disaster site, yet the tears on their faces and their movements never ceased. This wasn't stealing; it was merely grabbing a bite when they couldn't bear it any longer.
The children were also busy bringing water and food to these uncles and elders. They were having a great time, or rather, they weren't afraid of hard work. They were just a group of little children, a group of children still in elementary school. Their eyes were lifeless; their eyes held the sadness of loss.
But at this moment, they walked towards the direction of those hardworking uncles and elders with all their might, as if fearless.
Xu Fan got into his car, or rather, the mobile stage that had already been set up, and headed to the next village. Many eyes were on Xu Fan, or rather, on his car. Many waved goodbye.
Xu Fan watched the people's reluctance to part through the car window. She didn't shed a tear; she simply felt that her existence had indeed been of some help, and she wanted her help to continue. She liked to wave goodbye to the lingering crowd.
At the same time, many people are reluctant to say goodbye, but fate often has brought them to this point, forcing them to give up on their feelings, or rather, forget them. His gaze was calm as he looked at the crowd saying goodbye, then waved and headed in the direction he wanted to go. The driver already knew where Xu Fan was going, so the journey was naturally easy. The distance between the two locations wasn't far.
However, there are also some areas close to 20 kilometers away, yet the aftermath of the earthquake was similar, and arguably even worse. This isn't due to the different earthquake locations, but rather because these areas lack proper maintenance.
The villages are far apart, as this is a mountainous area. Xu Fan brought his professional team with him. When they arrived at this village, they found elderly people, young people, middle-aged people, and many more children.
Recently, Xu Fan has learned a general location by singing in his car. He knows that many people are filled with fear for the future, but he also knows that his singing has given many people hope. He came to the scene today and sang the songs he often sings in this village, hoping that the people in this village can become more empowered.
Xu Fan and his group were greeted by an old man, who, according to him, was the village chief. Besides the old man, there was also a group of children. In every place, children are always unwittingly used as cannon fodder by the adults; it's a helpless situation.
So at this moment, the old man looked at Xu Fan and immediately asked, "Mr. Xu, hello. I'm very glad you could come. Thank you for your participation. Tonight's cultural performance has been specially held in the square, which can accommodate two or three thousand people. I believe it will bring a unique experience."
Xu Fan disliked this kind of invitation ceremony because, for him, participating in the cultural performance wasn't about making money or showing any particular attitude. His purpose in doing all this was simply to appease the suffering masses present.
So everything he did was voluntary; no one forced him, and he didn't need any special treatment. But it must be acknowledged that the old man's words implied that Xu Fan liked what he was doing and that he should do it even better. Of course, Xu Feng didn't pay attention to any of this because only he knew whether it was good or not, or rather, only after he finished singing could he get feedback from the audience.
The old man looked Xu Fan over carefully for a few moments before nodding with a sigh. Just then, Xu Fan noticed a little boy suddenly run over, staring intently at him and asking, "Big brother, are you the singer or celebrity who came to sing?"
The top student felt a pang of pain deep inside, because looking at the little boy reminded him of his own father. More importantly, although the little boy's eyes were red and his body seemed a bit cold, his expression held a hint of determination. He looked at Xu Fan and said earnestly again, "Big brother, I'm so cold."
Xu Fan quickly nodded earnestly to show that he was indeed the so-called older brother. Then, he immediately handed over the things he was carrying to the child. The child jumped up and down, extremely happy with the older brother in front of him. His gaze calmly turned to Xu Fan as well. Then, at this moment, the child continued, "Big brother, what song will you sing tonight?"
Hearing this, the one who was trying to be humble was a little confused, because he had long been prepared for today's joy, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Just then, the old man next to Xu Fan suddenly told him a story. Listening to the story, Xu Fan couldn't help but feel inexplicably sad.
There are always some life-and-death separations in this world that leave people at a loss, but we always manage to live bravely after life-and-death separations.

===Chapter 905 Story===
The earthquake in Gansu Province came unexpectedly.
No one could have imagined that this sudden earthquake would cause irreparable damage to so many families. Even though Xu Fan was well aware of the terrible consequences of this disaster, he still felt a pang of heartache when he heard the story.
The story the old man told was actually quite simple. A family was traveling in Gansu Province. They were taking a cable car up a mountain when, for some unknown reason, time passed...
Their emotions became somewhat agitated. They took their two-year-old child and headed towards the sky. They took a cable car from the ground to the mountaintop. Besides the two of them, there were others on the bus for other reasons.
The cable car was packed with other people. However, just as the cable car reached the top of the mountain, an earthquake struck. In that instant, the world changed color, and everything in the world was transformed. No one could have imagined that there was a couple and a child on that cable car.
They had been riding this cable car the whole time, hoping to climb from the bottom of the mountain to the top. They wanted to reach the summit this way, then travel, see the sky, and enjoy the distant scenery.
They went to bring their children to experience the world, but fate is often like that; sudden changes can catch them off guard, and everyone on the cable car fell to their deaths.
At the moment the earthquake struck, all the cable cars shook violently. Because the cables were slack and the earthquake was causing constant vibrations, dozens of cable cars plummeted from the sky in that instant.
Looking out over the vast expanse, it resembled a thunderstorm; cable cars, one after another, crashed to the ground, resulting in countless deaths. Xu Fan had never heard this story before, because it was truly heartbreaking.
It was only just discovered that so many people had perished on the milk truck. Or rather, it wasn't just just now, but rather that he had only just heard the story—almost everyone in the story was dead.
But at the moment of the fall, the couple did not make any movement. They simply worked together to lift their two-year-old child up, supporting the child with both hands. Xu Fan found the scene unbelievable even when he thought about it.
In that instant, the cable cars inexplicably began to slowly descend, shooting down the mountain like arrows in the blink of an eye as the earthquake struck. One cable car after another crashed to the ground with a series of deafening thuds.
After that deafening roar, it crashed heavily onto the ground 110 meters below. The severed cables flew wildly through the mountains, the scene resembling a lashing chasm of hell, relentlessly whipping the gods and demons of this world. But the protagonists of the story perished. In that instant of the fall, a couple from Nanning City were in the carriage…
At the same time, they lifted their son, who was two and a half years younger, high into the air. What happened next was even more heartbreaking. The couple both died in the end, but the child only suffered a minor injury to his lip. That was all. The story was so simple that it made Xu Fan feel a pang of heartache, and at the same time, it made him think of another story deep in his mind.
That story was very simple, extremely simple. Because of its striking similarity to this story, almost 80% of it took place in another world—a world provided by the cyclical system—somewhere in Guizhou.
A couple was also riding the cable car when they fell to the ground. This was due to an unimaginable overcrowding, with the entire cable car cabin, which was only five or six square meters in size, filled with thirty-five passengers. The weight suddenly increased, and then slowly rose again.
After walking steadily towards the summit for more than ten minutes, everyone successfully reached the platform and stopped. Staff came over, opened the small door of the cable car, and prepared to let the people out.
But in that instant, the cable car inexplicably began to slowly slide downwards. After sliding for thirty meters, it suddenly surged towards the bottom of the mountain. In the blink of an eye, all the passengers on those cable cars were dead, including the couple.
But that couple's story was strikingly similar to the one the old man had told them, because their shared thoughts, goals, and methods were all about supporting their children, and ultimately, they both ended up with the same result.
The child wasn't dead or even injured; he only had a minor scratch on his lip. The two stories were very similar, practically identical. But for Xu Fan, what pained him even more at this moment was the loneliness and helplessness of the child in the story.
His parents lost their lives saving him. Xu Fan couldn't help but shake his head in worry. Then he thought of that song, about that world, a song written by a chubby singer because of this story. Thinking of that song, he had an idea.
The cultural performance wasn't just a single show, but four in total. One of them already took place, where Xu Fan sang both new and old songs. Whether it was the old song "Just Like You," "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky," or a new song, I believe it caused a sensation across the internet after the performance.
At the same time, it has attracted the attention and love of countless people, because every song of Xu Fan is so inspiring. And more importantly, today Xu Fan has found out what kind of song to sing in the second cultural performance.
This story saddened him and also gave him some thoughts about the child in it. It wasn't just because the chubby singer eventually adopted the child in another world, but more importantly, it suddenly reminded him of another girl named Shui'er, whom he loved—or rather, who was his favorite little sister.
She too was once alone and destitute, with no one to adopt her. She had considered adopting Shui'er's inner self, but couldn't. So, she could only act as Shui'er's mother, allowing the water to flow and sending the child to school. Later, Xu Fan helped Shui'er find his parents.
But that's because they were separated, they could be found. Now it's different. Now that child is truly pitiful, truly helpless. His parents left him, lost their lives, because of him. Now, perhaps he's being cared for by someone.
But one can imagine how sad he will be in the future. Thinking about this, he even wondered if he could do something different, like that chubby singer, and adopt the child. He just had this thought.
Then, after inquiring with the old man, he confirmed that it was indeed in the village he was about to visit. He felt even more excited, but not with joy; rather, he felt a sense of heaviness and a seriousness about life.
In Xu Fan's memory, the song provided by the system was written by the chubby singer who was deeply moved by this incident and wrote this touching song from a child's perspective.
Xu Fan loved that song, so he wanted to sing it for everyone, especially for that child. He always felt the story was heartbreaking, and he could always feel a child's desperate cries.
Our parents are the ones who give us the most in this world. They give to us selflessly and without expecting anything in return. A parent's love gives us warmth and strength. The father and mother in the story truly inspire admiration.
More than anything, it's a matter of respect for them, a deep love for their children. Even at the end of their lives, they hoped their children could live bravely. Such a simple gesture commands our utmost respect, and more importantly, it's this simple gesture...
But they had saved a life. Xu Fan felt a deep respect for the couple who had saved his child in the face of death. He didn't say much; he simply felt this story was worth telling.
This story deserves to be heard by more people, and to be remembered by more people. These parents deserve to let the whole world know that our beloved child is the most precious person in all of us, and we don't want him to lose anything, even if our lives are about to end.
The stories are often simple, but in reality, they can be quite complex. He likes to sit motionless on the bus to that village because, for him, this trip is simply to perform at a cultural event.
After a bumpy two-hour journey, Xu Fan finally arrived at the second disaster area. Compared to the first village, the people in this village were much more deserted, because in a sense,
Although the village has a small population, the situation is further exacerbated by the fact that many people have gone to work in other places. This leaves many children behind to attend school, and since the disaster, the village has faced numerous and different kinds of danger.
Because many migrant workers returned to the disaster area immediately after it occurred, they saw the situation in their hometowns firsthand. This was a truly devastating area; large cracks were visible in the ground.
More importantly, those houses had already collapsed instantly, and now everyone here is huddled together, living in tents. Children and adults who returned later are all squeezed together, with several families even clustered together.
A group of children slept together, a group of adults slept together, and many more people were doing their utmost to save every corner of the disaster area. Xu Fan's arrival naturally attracted a lot of attention, even though Xu Fan had been notified beforehand.
Today, he arrived, but few people welcomed him. He was met with suspicion because he brought only a few ordinary-looking people with him. Even though his classmate, who was supposed to be a student, didn't say anything, he didn't see anything wrong with it. At this moment, the more important thing was the rescue center and the many people under control; he even wanted to go and help them.
But they were stopped by the casual reporter. Not because they were interested in money, but because they had more to create, or rather, more to build a stage for—even though it was a temporary stage that could be set up with just one vehicle.
However, sound equipment, microphones, lighting, and other essential items are also needed. Xu Fan's current task is to prepare his next song, especially since some people had just heard him preparing to sing another new song.
Their hearts were filled with anticipation. If a teacher wanted to sing a new song, they would need ample time to prepare. So, they called Xu Fan not because they didn't want him to participate in this rescue effort, but because they didn't want him to.
Instead, they hoped that Xu Fan could use the next period of time to do what he should do. After thinking for a moment, he realized that at this moment, he really had no other way to do it. In fact, it was the most normal and best solution.
Soon everyone sprang into action. The on-site staff and frontline personnel from Gansu TV all began cleaning up the stage. Of course, volunteers and soldiers continued their work on site.
Because they knew that such cultural performances were actually held at night, and certainly not during the day, everyone was busy with their own tasks, even those who came to the venue were working diligently on setting up the stage.
From the placement of the lights to the sound of the microphones, everything had to be checked to be in perfect working order. Although it was just a small stage and a small cultural performance, they believed in doing even the smallest things perfectly.
It's really about respecting everyone. Every event has its own significance, just like Xu Fan singing has its own meaning no matter what happens.
Many programs began rehearsing without hesitation at this moment. Some were from other villages, while others were prepared in advance by the children or adults of this village. However, they were still rehearsing at this very moment.
Especially for the children, who have already received guidance from their teachers, their joy is evident on their faces and comes from the heart. They don't fully understand the sadness of the adults; they simply feel that dancing and singing are things to be happy about.
So their movements became more and more skillful. For the adults, there was a certain sadness within them, but seeing everyone else so joyful, they also hoped to bring joy to more people in their own way.
In the face of disaster, if we can make everyone laugh in our own way, that might be the best help. Everyone is thinking about this question.
Once many people found the answer to this question deep within their hearts, they gained more confidence and strength in such cultural performances, and they wanted to do even better.
Because they want to bring more joy to everyone, and since this is something worth promoting and doing, we don't ask that it be done in a particularly good, prosperous, arrogant, or luxurious way, but we must do it seriously so that everyone who hears or sees it can wear a smile.
Perhaps only a smile is the best reward for them.
(End of this chapter)
===Chapter 906 The Second Cultural Performance===
The time had come for the start of the second day's cultural performance.
Similar to the cultural performance last night, it officially started at 8 p.m. Almost everyone in the village came, from the elderly to the children.
This cultural performance, though seemingly simple, was actually a grand affair for this small rural village. Everyone eagerly awaited the start of the show.
Everyone was expressing their anticipation for tonight's cultural performance with enthusiasm. For ordinary farmers at the time, such programs were rare, especially since they had heard that a big star would be there.
They eagerly anticipate such programs, even though these celebrities seem unattainable to them. In fact, these celebrities don't seem to have much to do with them; in their minds, they are...
They might not listen to these stars' songs at all, or they might never listen to them, but when Xu Fan's name is mentioned, they suddenly realize that the name is so familiar.
Xu Fan has sung many similar songs before. For example, his song "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style" was very popular, especially among older people who enjoy square dancing.
