The Most Simple Wish

In the early years began to advocate the "rescue heritage" work gradually started. There are many excellent folk dances on the stage. If you want to continue the dance which is the crystallization of a national culture, it seems to let more people know and recognize it first, and even gradually like it. It's the best choice.

At the provincial dance competition held in December, the number of selected Chinese folk dance and Chinese classical dance is close to the same. Almost half of them each. This shows that the national folk dance, especially the dance with outstanding national color, national character and national culture, which is widely spread among the people at present, is being accepted by people by the way of being designed and displayed on the stage.

At the same time, it is also being valued by dancers.

The repertoire being performed on the stage is the classical dance group dance "Han Mei". A folk music group composed of 40 people is concerting for it.

The ceiling of the auditorium was like a star breathing and twinkling in the deep blue sky. Because of its height, it's almost impossible to know where its real top is. Suddenly, some people may take the ceiling as a real night sky. That illusion makes people feel like they are in another time and space, unable to extricate themselves for a long time.

The brilliant lights on the stage are overlapped and reflected (mostly in white tone), just like a dream《 After a while, "cold plum" became a silhouette and went out on the stage. After a while, the cold plum blossom picture on the dance clothes appeared again. The sound of guzheng, zhongruan and dulcimer all over the stage. And into the deep space.

Qiuhe stands behind the scenes and connects with the stage, and those beautiful lighting equipment hit her face and body from time to time. Her face and body also from time to time light and dark down. She has a fair face. She wore a simple and simple dance dress of ordinary style, without streamers, sleeves, Tassels and headdress. She wore a long braid. With big Obsidian eyes, half of his body is hidden behind the curtain, and half is exposed at the overlap of the two curtains. Her figure and the shadow cast by the light finally melted into the dim background together.

The smell of rouge powder came from the stage.

Yunyi has prepared a folk dance solo drama named "flowers" for her semi-final competition. The performance form is close to the theme name design of the play. The combination of grand music, complicated movements and extremely difficult dance skills. On the contrary, they put on the simplest dance clothes. Flowers, like Jane?

Qiuhe gave a smile. She looked at the stage from the overlap of the curtain without any emotion, and also looked at "Han Mei". I'm thinking about something else. The live accompaniment of the folk orchestra is a rare opportunity for her to cherish. The sound waves swept by the national musical instruments and sonatas are flowing in the position of one third of the height of the performance hall;

Such a large theater, such a large-scale performance hall, is also what Qiu he saw most in his life; She thought of Tao Huizhen inexplicably. She didn't know if Tao Huizhen had seen the scene. She knows that Tao Huizhen's greatest regret in her dance career is that she has not had the opportunity to perform on a super large stage and feel the real live Concerto ringing in her ears.

Autumn lotus is experiencing this.

Qiu He is calculating the time, and the group dance "Han Mei" is coming to an end. She saw Mr. Lin standing at the back of the stage, taking a panoramic view of the whole scene. Elegant posture, meticulous expression, in the confident atmosphere more do not leave room for people to refute. In Qiu He's eyes, she gradually overlaps with Tao Huizhen to form a contrast. Then, Qiu he felt the suffocating pressure to lock her tightly. I feel abdominal pain like I'm experiencing the pain of plane stall, and the nutrients in my body are rapidly lost. Tao Huizhen's small and thin back when she left dacha village quietly appeared in Qiuhe's mind. Mr. Lin's look was out of reach.

"Flowers" is a play compiled by Mr. Lin. this autumn lotus dance competition is also in the charge of Mr. Lin.

Fanhua is an attempt of deep communication between folk dance and classical dance. And the final dance that teacher Lin asked Qiuhe to prepare will be innovative. In a word, the opposite is what Qiuhe's teacher, Ms. Lin, is keen on. From a certain level, Qiuhe does not reject the competition plan that Ms. Lin has made for her. In a new era, we should also express the rare frontier ideology in the theme of dance. Dancers still need to have the awareness of keeping up with the times and international standards.

At this time, the soundtrack of "Han Mei" is coming to an end. Qiuhe has also heard this song, and the final note of the string is very long and distinctive. It's not a happy or sad ending. She took a small step forward, breathing deeply, adjusting her mood and expression. After the curtain call, she went up alone.

She caught the sight of yu'er sitting in another waiting area. Yu'er was invited by the organizer and took part in the same competition with Qiu He. More than half a month down, the two have been to the semi-finals. They also encouraged and cheered each other. They also sat together and talked about the stories that happened on the field. But the result is the same as before, their understanding of everything is relative. So sometimes, the conversation is not pleasant.

Qiu He knows that what yu'er presses on the bottom of the box will be the traditional Dai women's peacock dance solo. Although Tao Huizhen changes the melody and rhythm of the dance every time, in essence, peacock dance is peacock dance, and it will not become any other dance. Its core is still to imitate peacock.

It's Qiuhe's good at turning himself into a Green Peacock. But this time, she couldn't get what she wanted.

The air, the lights, the haze and the crowd that passed through the stage. On the one hand, Qiuhe deeply ponders and portrays yu'er's achievements in the past two years, and on the other hand, he looks at her eyes through everything.

Does she look like a peacock?

Autumn lotus suddenly thinks so in the mind.

At the right time, yu'er's sight penetrates all the barriers between them and collides with Qiu He's eyes.

There is no fear in imagination. It didn't cause waves and discomfort. Four eyes touch peacefully together. Qiu He nodded gently. Yu Er smiles sweetly. They are all waiting for the final showdown. All of a sudden, the music of "flowers" starts from the string instruments. Standing at the back of the stage, Ms. Lin immediately looks at Qiu He. She gives Qiu He an encouraging expression. Under the spotlight, Qiu he went on stage to perform the solo "flowers".

……

At the beginning of December, when the provincial dance competition held in Kunming was just about to start, Tao Huizhen put her on the coach alone. Out of the consideration of cost saving, Tao Huizhen entrusted her to the person in charge of the organizer to take care of her at the scene. After some words to yu'er, she chose to stay and wait for the news.

Twenty days later, all the races are over. Tao Huizhen receives a phone call, saying that Qiu He and yu'er will come back by the morning coach. It is estimated that it will be evening when they arrive at dacha village.

When the wall clock pointed to three o'clock in the afternoon, Tao Huizhen began to be busy. She washed the dishes she bought from the county market in the morning and cooked several home cooked dishes according to the Dai People's eating habits. We made bacon and sour bamboo shoots. Tea and glutinous rice are ready. She wanted to celebrate a little for the two children who came back from the competition.

At five o'clock, Tao Huizhen walked out of the small bamboo building. She took today's newspaper when she stopped at the canteen at the entrance of the village. There's not much special news. It is nothing more than some deeds closely related to social development. It happens every day.

She strolls out of the village. There are two long bamboo chairs on the concrete roadside in front of her, which is the "station" of dacha village. No one is waiting for the bus here.

The sun is still very hot, and there is still a long way to go before sunset. Tao Huizhen set up a sunshade to look at the familiar environment. This is the peak time of tea. The tea terraces all over the mountains are full of white camellia, the white sea like flowers, the waves rolling. Step up.

The taste of camellia is not so strong, cold not Ding into the nose, involved in the brain, but it is so lingering.

How many years will it last forever? How many centuries will it take to guard dacha village? Tao Huizhen thought about it.

At 5:40, the last bus from the county stopped steadily on the other side of the bamboo chair. Qiu He and yu'er come down with their bags on their backs. Tao Huizhen and Qiuhe are quite far apart, and their eyes gradually overlap and gently stagger. Face with their own different reactions, Shaoqing, once again four eyes relative to go.

After a year and a half, I haven't met teachers and students. They have changed. Among them, the most significant is autumn lotus. Now Qiuhe is graceful and white. It's hard to find the shadow of the girl who used to go back and forth between the foot of the mountain and the terraces. It's almost gone. Only a pair of cat's eyes, like gems, still remain the crystal of the past.

Autumn lotus to the autumn of this year, just over 18 years old. Tao Huizhen never thought that Qiuhe could be so graceful. A stream of hot liquid things flowed up in the chest, and the top couldn't go down.

Tao Huizhen thought that Qiu He's teacher in Yunyi should also be an elegant person. It's so good to bring Qiuhe.

When it comes to change, Tao Huizhen is really embarrassed. As time goes by, she changes less and less. Her period of rapid change has passed. She and Qiuhe seem to form a few separate sides in the moving geometry. When one side moves rapidly, the other side will fall into the slow motion completely.

From the first moment of meeting to the end of their mental activities, all this only happened in a flash. Tao Huizhen and Qiu he came together. Tao Huizhen took the two children's bags and shared them. Qiu He affectionately called Tao Huizhen "teacher".

Qiuhe recounts the changes in his hometown. There are a lot less things and a lot more things.

It suddenly occurred to her that Tao Huizhen had been alone all the time, and her eyes could not help being moist. Because even people like her have left their hometown. She took a deep breath of the air around her. The smell of tea.

"Teacher, I didn't make it to the final. I won a third place. Sister yu'er is better than me. She took the second place. We both missed the championship When going to dacha village, Qiuhe said.

She finished the semi-final with flowers. Yu'er rushed out of the semi-finals and won the second place with the recognition of traditional women's peacock dance. The Organizing Committee of the competition was particularly impressed by the Dai traditional peacock dance. This time, peacock dance can be said to have received great attention.

Tao Huizhen said flatly: "you are all the pride of teachers, a runner up, a runner up. It's hard, it's hard. It's a provincial competition after all. There are a lot of good dancers. "

The result is expected. Tao Huizhen saw the broadcast of the dance competition on local TV. When she saw that the kind of dance Qiu He danced was not peacock dance, she knew that Qiu he had little chance of winning. She has been with Qiuhe for many years. She knows that Qiuhe's in the field of Dai Peacock dance. And before so many years, autumn lotus all pay also in peacock dance. Peacock dance she can at any time handy, it is flowing into her blood dance, and her integration of the dance. Her younger martial sisters and younger martial brothers in dachacun primary school dance class mainly studied peacock dance. These children are from the hometown of peacock dance, and they have been influenced by the cultural background of peacock dance since childhood. This also explains why yu'er can beat Qiu He with peacock dance.

Walking back to the bamboo house, Qiu he washes his face in silence. When yu'er goes to wash her face. She asked Tao Huizhen, "if I want to come back, I'd better go back to my teacher. I don't want to go to Yunyi any more. "

"Nonsense, what are you doing back here?" Tao Huizhen's body is in the corner of the stairs. She looked at Qiuhe slowly.

Qiu he said: "come back to learn peacock dance with the teacher."

"I can't teach you."

"Why?"

"I've taught you all I can. Qiuhe, in the year when you went to Jinghong City, the teacher had nothing to teach you, you know? I'm just an ordinary dancer. But it turns out that you're very lucky. You've had a good journey. Next, you have to go through the dance academy to further study, to get a diploma. Go on in the dance industry. Get out of your style. There is still a long way to go. How can you easily say that you want to come back? You can only rely on the organization like the school to have the chance to participate in the real national dance competition. Here, you will never have the chance to go on the heavyweight stage like the Lotus Award and the peach and plum cup. Qiu He, do you remember asking me, "is there a turning point in your life?" Now can you think back to the mood when you asked me this sentence? " When Tao Huizhen said this, her eyes would not let go of Qiu He's. Qiu he slowly lowered his head. As if for a long time to muster the courage to say the words, she knew it should not be mentioned. Setbacks really can't defeat her. What she wants is nothing but hope and faith. Tao Huizhen is no longer blocking the stairs. Qiuhe sees a piece of rich hometown dishes from one side of Tao Huizhen's body. That must have been prepared by Tao Huizhen for her and yu'er. Autumn lotus heart all kinds of taste is indescribable, the mouth is full of a spicy. She looked up at Tao Huizhen silently and helplessly. about to speak , but saying nothing.

Yu'er went up the first few steps of the stairs. It seems to know that Tao Huizhen and Qiu He are talking, so they stay there. Then she just sat on the stairs and waited. Tao Huizhen's vision alternates back and forth between yu'er in the distance and Qiu He nearby.

"In fact, you are already a qualified dancer, and you have embarked on the road of dance. In that level of dance competition to get the third place, for who, also should be proud of this Tao Huizhen asked Qiuhe, "do you want to come back because this competition didn't meet the expectation?"

The mist in Qiu He's eyes dispersed, and she stared at Tao Huizhen. I expect Tao Huizhen to go on.

"The reason why this competition didn't meet your expectations is that you didn't dance the peacock dance. Since you didn't jump, you always have regrets. Right? But it's not your fault. Your advantage lies in the traditional peacock dance, you can have today is also because of the peacock dance. No one understands your talent in peacock dance better than me. " Tao Huizhen changed an expression and sat at the table, "but only I understand is not enough."

Qiu he understands what Tao Huizhen means. "I talked to Mr. Lin in our college, and I wanted to practice more peacock dance," she said. But she won't let me“ I have my own problems. I don't really reject Mr. Lin's decision. I think I should try something other than peacock dance. " Qiu he confesses to Tao Huizhen.

Tao Huizhen nodded slightly: "I haven't participated in such a grand event. I used to compete only for one thing, that is to do my best. If you do your best, you won't regret losing. "

"That's it." Qiuhe has nothing to say. Tao Huizhen and teacher Lin have different ideas. And it turns out. Only peacock dance is suitable for her. Especially on the stage of the competition, it will not be risky to show your skills.

Qiuhe knew that yu'er was waiting under the stairs. She filled the glutinous rice and called her up. When yu'er went to the bamboo building, she glanced at her, but she couldn't make it clear. The reason why I care so much about peacock dance or not. Is it because yu'er also danced peacock dance? There seemed to be such a desire in her heart. She wants to compete with yu'er with the same dance.

Yu'er looks at her elder martial sister. She is shorter than Qiu He, and she is also smaller. I don't know if she has the same idea as Qiuhe.

"As you said just now, Mr. Lin, you won the third place in the competition. What did she say? " Tao Huizhen poured a cup of tea for Qiuhe. Asked with a smile. The eyes are ambiguous and have the taste of gossip. Because she and teacher Lin in Qiu He's mouth, one is to take the past Qiu He, the other is to take the present Qiu He.

"Teacher Lin said to continue next year, which encouraged me."

"So don't be discouraged. At the teaching level, I think Mr. Lin should be better than me."

"Yes? No one can replace you, teacher

"What are you talking about? I haven't finished yet. If you want to get good results in the competition, you should stick to the traditional peacock dance of Dai nationality. When you win the honor, you should tell others that it's a folk dance in your hometown. You go back to tell Mr. Lin that your field is peacock dance. You can dance to her. What's your strength in peacock dance in elephant foot drum? How can you dance alone under the stars Tao Huizhen's words are not salty. It brings back memories. Yu'er looks at Qiu He from the opposite side, and she can also think of the original situation of Qiu He a few years ago.

"All right." Qiuhe doesn't want to contradict.

It's getting dark outside. The teacher and the student are chewing and swallowing. Tao Huizhen thought for a while and asked Qiuhe for Mr. Lin's private phone number“ You go back early these days. Don't delay the course. I've tried to have a talk with Mr. Lin recently. "
