Regardless of their appearance, they seem somewhat different from their real-life selves, yet they appear different when being bullied, because most students usually seem honest and law-abiding, and each has their own thoughts.
They seemed incredibly gentle in everything they did, but when the sailors were bullied, things seemed to change. We always heard them saying certain things, things everyone had heard before.
But it also seems incredibly difficult. So when real life keeps throwing challenges our way, many people subconsciously feel threatened, and what they gain is often just a kind of inexplicable boredom. And for those Sagittarians...
These dangers weren't a big problem. At least at this moment, when Xu Fan started singing, everyone subconsciously quieted down when they heard the demonstration area talking about what the sailors were singing in Xu Fan's song, or what the sailors were saying.
At this moment, both the viewers watching the live stream and everyone in the audience at the venue fell silent, utterly silent. They didn't clap, they didn't make any other movements; they simply listened quietly to Xu Fan sing.
They all wanted to know what Xu Fan would say at any moment, because to them, the lyrics he sang at this moment were actually what they hoped for in life, or an inspirational song, perhaps reappearing from the word "sailor." So everyone listened attentively to Xu Fan's singing.
……
He said, what's a little pain in the wind and rain? Wipe away your tears and don't be afraid, at least we still have dreams. He said, what's a little pain in the wind and rain? Wipe away your tears and don't ask.
……
The lyrics are incredibly simple, yet they resonate differently with each listener. A subtle tremor runs through everyone's heart, because when they hear the latter part of the lyrics…
Deep down, they genuinely felt some repression. What they said truly reflects things that we all think and hope for in many aspects of life, because we hope to achieve what they described.
No matter what problems arise in the storm, we can solve them all. He said what's a little pain in the storm? No matter what danger we encounter, everything will be better after the danger passes. No matter what kind of suffering we experience...
The final result will definitely be better. He said that what is a little bit of wind and rain? As long as you wipe away your tears, nothing is scary. Don't be afraid, don't be terrified, don't be cowardly, don't be trembling with fear. As long as you like it or as long as you yearn for it, as long as you do your best to do it.
Any problem will become more manageable, it will appear before you, and you will be able to solve it. Wipe away your tears and don't ask why things happened this way, because after experiencing it all, you will understand everything.
Every difficulty has an answer and a solution, even if the solution is really, really hard. But once you get through it, everything will be different. So, in this lesson, everyone's heart was trembling slightly because Xu Fan's singing made everyone subconsciously feel sad.
At this moment, many people in the county town couldn't help but scream. The screams of everyone merged together, creating a vibrant atmosphere, even though there weren't actually many people—just a few dozen or a few hundred—waving their hands incessantly.
The boys kept chanting their own voices, or rather, the name Xu Fan. Even though they weren't Xu Fan's fans or supporters, at that moment they seemed to subconsciously feel that Xu Fan was their favorite singer and that they were Xu Fan's fans. But at that moment, Xu Fan didn't feel that the attention he received from the audience was from his fans.
The reason he came here today to participate in this cultural performance and sing for everyone is not actually to make these people his fans, but because he hopes that his songs can bring comfort to everyone present who has lost loved ones.
To be able to face the world with a smile, instead of pain, instead of inexplicable sadness, instead of tears, but to leave this world behind—that's why everything Xu Fan does today, including every song he sings.
Regardless of the songs sung yesterday or the day before, their most important meaning is the same. Even the song I'm singing today and the one I just sang have the same ending. Ultimately, it's about allowing more people to find something different in the music.
Find strength in the songs, find hope to live on, find those who have lost something like that song from a parallel universe, let more people know that there are people in another world who are exactly like us, those people have not lost their loved ones, and what does it matter if we lose something in this world, because our loved ones are living well and happily in another world, and I think that is enough.
This is Xu Fan's truest thought from the bottom of his heart, and at this moment, everyone listening to the song naturally knows what Xu Fan is thinking. Without any physical action, everyone in Guzhang, everyone there, and every single one of Xu Fan is expressing their sincere love to show their recognition of his song.
Meanwhile, all sorts of messages were constantly appearing in the live stream, whether in the live stream room, on Weibo and Douyin, or in the bullet comments section, almost all of them were about Xu Fan singing.
Everyone expresses their liking in their own way, and also expresses their defiance against fate through their own thoughts. Therefore, at this moment, many people, both in their hearts and online, are expressing various opinions about Xu Fan's song, whether good or bad.
They were all sharing their thoughts, whether about their own ideas, their fate, or the idea that sunshine always follows the storm. Xu Fan didn't interfere much with any of this, because he didn't have time to do those things at the moment. All he could do now was to sing the second half of his song line by line to everyone.
The stage lights were flashing and shining, illuminating Xu Fan's face, making him look so gentle. I like this moment. His calm gaze was also focused on the reporter as he sang every word.
The screams and shouts at the scene did not stop, and his voice, though gentle and slow, was very powerful and reached the ears of everyone present.
……
As I grew up, I worked hard for my ideals and gradually neglected news from my father, mother, and hometown. Now, my life is like acting, saying things I don't mean, and wearing a mask of hypocrisy.
===End of Chapter 917===
For most people, a song doesn't mean anything.
However, for the hundreds of audience members present at this moment, the song they liked to sing tonight was truly unique.
In fact, not only was the song Xu Fan sang tonight unique, but rather every song he sang recently has been unique, including every program he performed on stage during the entire cultural performance.
In summary, the main reason is still that this was a microcosm of a disaster, and it is precisely because of this that everything—whether it's a program, a skit, an event, or even Xu Fan's song—is affected.
Or rather, the songs sung by other artists—fundamentally, all these programs are connected to the terms "earthquake disaster area." Because of this connection, each song actually carries its own specific meaning.
That's why every time she sings, she garners countless likes and approvals, especially when she starts singing "Sailor," her voice waving away tears and saying "Don't be afraid," makes everyone instinctively clench their fists.
Whether they were ordinary people at the scene or soldiers, everyone heard the simple words, "Wipe away your tears and don't be afraid, at least we still have dreams," at that moment.
Then, they strive to improve, or rather, clench their fists and prepare for the next sprint and rescue work. Everyone is doing this. Everyone's actions seem simple, but they are all moving forward earnestly but helplessly.
Because the stories depicted in the songs are experiences everyone has gone through, especially the simple lyrics that encapsulate the experiences of many people—striving for ideals as adults, something most of us have gone through.
Because everyone has their own dreams from childhood to adulthood. Some want to be soldiers, some want to be teachers, some want to be scientists, and some just want to be simple drivers. Everyone has their own dreams.
As we grow up, we always strive tirelessly for our dreams. It is precisely because of this effort and dedication that we gradually overlook the tears of our fathers and mothers. The strands of hair on their heads have already shed their tears for us.
It also reflects the changes in my hometown. We don't even know what my hometown looks like now. Without any news from them, I feel like I'm living in a play. Everything seems so peaceful.
We seem to be working so hard and giving it our all, but when life plays tricks on us, like a performance, we realize that we often say things we don't mean, and many things aren't what we truly think.
However, when faced with those overwhelming and unchangeable facts, we can only tell lies. Being insincere is the simplest yet most difficult hurdle we face in real life, because it's the first one we face out of helplessness.
We wear these masks as if trying to disguise everything. I don't want others to see our worst moments, nor do we want them to see us exhausted to the point of being unbearable.
Xu Fan's lyrics are simple to the extreme, and every listener takes them to the extreme. When they listen to the song, every word of the lyrics touches their ears and hearts, and they can't help but feel emotional. The listeners are extremely attentive to the song.
……
I always deceive myself with insignificant achievements, I always feel a sudden emptiness for no reason, and I always need a little alcohol to numb me so I can fall asleep. In the half-asleep state, I seem to hear the sailor say again.
……
Life is full of dangers and difficulties, and most people face these kinds of disasters in the world, including earthquakes like the one that only affected my liver and kidneys. When we face these dangers,
We always wear masks of hypocrisy, pretending to be charitable, telling the world about our own gentleness, and then deceiving ourselves with trivial achievements, like getting first place in an exam or being in the top ten of the class.
We always forget that, in the grand scheme of things, such grades are really not that good. We always use these insignificant grades to deceive ourselves, thinking how excellent we are. We think that earning tens of thousands of yuan in sales at a company is already excellent enough. But when faced with the real sales champions, all of this is just empty talk.
On this path of life, we will often feel inexplicably sad. In short, we will subconsciously feel empty. It's a feeling of surging emotions followed by inexplicable sadness, a feeling of utter despair and helplessness.
We often like to drink and smoke, using those simple drops of alcohol to numb ourselves, perhaps so we can fall asleep and forget all the pressure. Our world is well aware that pressure is immense.
This has become the most normal part of life for most ordinary people. Because the pressure is so great, we often can't fall asleep, we often suffer from insomnia, and we often feel lost and helpless in the middle of the night.
So we can only rely on drinking and smoking to slowly fade away in a state of numbness. Yet even so, because of the pressure, because of the pain, because of everything, because of the helplessness in reality, we are always in a state of half-sleep, half-awake.
It's as if we can hear those sailors, who bravely faced all risks, saying simple words. They are still the same words, but simply listening to them is enough to move us deeply. Wipe away your tears and don't be afraid.
In the midst of this storm, this little pain is nothing, because we still have dreams and a commitment to the future. He said, what is this little pain in the storm? Wipe away your tears, don't distinguish between anything. Perhaps this is the answer Xu Fan sings to everyone.
Perhaps this is also the question Xu Fan sang about: everyone has their own thoughts and answers deep down, and everyone affirms and recognizes the answer they like, because life is always full of risks.
When faced with those painful and helpless stories, everyone fell into a profound silence at that moment. Everyone listened intently to Xu Fan's singing, regardless of Xu Fan's height or the others in the audience. It was as if there was no story within this story.
Or perhaps this song seems to have no story, but for the listener, the story within it is profoundly moving, because everyone deserves to use such a story to become a better version of themselves.
Those sailors lived in constant fear and hardship, drifting aimlessly on the high seas. They might one day disappear in a storm, or perhaps, when the tempest came, they would never see the next day's sunshine again. Yet, they remained fearless. For them, each danger, each pain, only made them braver.
Xu Fan was singing earnestly on stage, and the audience and soldiers listened attentively. They expressed their liking for Xu Fan in their own ways, while Xu Fan simply kept singing the song and the lyrics.
……
Why can't we find evidence of being alive no matter how hard we search? The asphalt roads of the city are too hard to leave any footprints. Proud and ignorant modern people don't know how to cherish the ocean and the world that civilization has trampled on. Only by getting away from the crowd can we find ourselves again, breathing freely in the salty air, while fearing the sound of the ship's horn and the sailor's laughter, forever hearing the sailor's words in the deepest part of our hearts.
……
This song, "Sailor," is a very powerful and inspirational one. The song's simple melody and lyrics, combined with the image of the singer, have resonated with everyone. He says, "What are these little things in the storm? Wipe away your tears and don't be afraid, at least we still have dreams."
The lyrics expressed the aspirations of young people pursuing their dreams, touching many hearts and giving them the confidence and courage to move forward. And at this moment, amidst the danger of an earthquake in the disaster area, when Xu Fan sang this song to everyone present…
A strange feeling welled up in their hearts. Xu Fan's voice, Suolong, echoed deep within them. The simple lyrics kept appearing, word by word, yet they so truly resonated with each and every one of them. Why? Why search and search?
Why is it that no matter how much we search, we still can't find the right way to live? This question might seem somewhat ridiculous, but the answer is so direct: we always say we live in this world, but where do we come from and where are we going?
We cannot prove that the existence of this world is related to ourselves; we can only say that our existence is dispensable to this world. The roads in the city are already paved with asphalt, and the earth is too hard to leave any footprints. Proud and ignorant modern people naturally do not know how to cherish it because we cannot see those footprints or those dangers.
The absence of these things often prevents us from finding answers. We fail to cherish the life paths we might lose, and we fail to cherish the stories that make us stay and reflect deeply—that ocean and land ravaged by civilization.
The most important moments in our lives belong to our own world, but as time continues to ravage those moments, we cannot change any alliances. Perhaps only by distancing ourselves from the crowd can we find ourselves.
Because in life, or rather in reality, we always encounter dangers, stories and facts that cannot be miraculously solved but must be faced. How can we breathe freely in the salty air, when simple lyrics evoke subconscious feelings in everyone, and how can we breathe freely in the fibrous air?
These two seemingly impossible emotions are vividly depicted by Xu Fan through simple lyrics. It must be said, this is the story contained within Xu Fan's classical lyrics; perhaps this is the essence of life. This is why I like Xu Fan—because of this song.
Because the song contains something that is both very simple and very complex; everyone can interpret it in their own way. And when Xu Fan sings it, everyone knows that there will definitely be another line that says, "I heard the sailor say..."
Because deep in their hearts, they can always hear the sailors say, or rather, when they hear stories about sailors, they can always hear the sailors deep in their minds and hearts talking about how in the simple storms, what is this little pain, wipe away your tears and don't ask why. Such simple lyrics can be heard clearly in the ears of most people.
At this moment, countless audience members expressed their love and recognition for Xu Fan with cheers, especially for this song, "Sailor," which contained a lot of thoughts.
In fact, everyone's story has its own starting point.
Deep in everyone's heart lies a dream of being a sailor, or rather, a stubbornness about being a sailor.
Life's journey is long, but in moments of despair, if we can hear a song like this, perhaps our future will become better, because everyone who hears this song will subconsciously become more courageous.
Just like our future, no matter what happens, we will always do our best to do better.
At this moment, only Xu Fan was on the stage. The host, Xiao Pu, stood at a distance, her eyes filled with emotion. After all, Xu Fan on the stage was, strictly speaking, her fiancé.
Listening to his singing and watching him sing, he was very excited.
As the melody faded, all sorts of messages kept appearing on Douyin, Kuaishou, Weibo, and other major online platforms, with everyone expressing their thoughts on the matter in their own way.
The barrage of comments and topics kept appearing, and everyone was very excited. After all, this matter was very meaningful in a strict sense, and Xu Fan's song was also very meaningful.
Therefore, many listeners have already been captivated by Xu Fan's lyrics at this moment, even if they had never heard Xu Fan's songs before. But that doesn't stop them from liking Xu Fan and being a person.
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause the moment the song "Sailor" was finished, reflecting their love and appreciation for the song.
Everyone listening to the song, whether soldiers or farmers who came to the scene again, was applauding at this moment, regardless of age or gender.
Some young people even shouted and called out without regard for anything else, because deep down they truly like Xu Fan and the song "Sailor" that Xu Fan sang tonight.
So, at this moment, when Xu Fan finished singing.
What he saw was the frenzied applause of hundreds of spectators, and the wild shouts and cheers of the young people.
For Xu Fan, his actions remained as simple as ever.
Bow deeply and then express your gratitude.
===Chapter 918 Reflections===
This is the third cultural performance held in the disaster area.
The audience I was in at the time consisted of Xu Fan and his friends. Deep down, they weren't particularly excited about the performance, but they still felt a bit reluctant and sad when it ended.
For most people, attending such a cultural performance today seems a bit odd, because such performances are simple and straightforward, lacking much fun and musical atmosphere.
It could even be said that such music is unnecessary for many people, but right now, in the aftermath of the disaster, when everyone is feeling lost and helpless because of the difficulties and the catastrophe...
