() Poland, Warsaw, the five-year Chopin International Piano Competition has entered the finals. After the first three rounds of competition, a total of five contestants have entered the finals. This time, the Chopin International Piano Competition will be broadcast live around the world via satellite. , because the five contestants participating are different from previous competitions, the five contestants who advanced to the finals are all from different nationalities.
And they are all representative countries, including Wei Dongkui from China, Thomson from the United States, Lee Jung-hyun from South Korea, Avdeeva from Russia, and Francois from France.
Except for Wei Dongkui, who just graduated from high school, everyone else is recognized as a piano genius in their country, and they are all disciples taught by world-renowned pianists. Everyone's level is at the top, even if it is said that It’s no exaggeration to say that they are born for music.
Wei Dongkui's promotion is unimaginable. Many people think that he should be the most inconspicuous among the contestants and may even be eliminated in the first round. But no one expected that Wei Dongkui managed to survive. In the third round, he was the least favored in the third round, because in the previous rounds of eliminations, there was a clear gap between his level and the others.
As we all know, the Chopin International Piano Competition is the world's top music competition and a stage for young people to express themselves. It is known as the Olympic Games in piano. Many famous pianists became famous here and became world-renowned. , and so far, only six people from China have entered the top five in the competition, and one person won the gold medal.
Wei Dongkui entered the finals, which means that he will become the seventh Chinese to enter the Chopin International Piano Competition. Although the judges are not optimistic that he can break into the top three, he can be regarded as a blockbuster.
However, the major domestic mainstream media have already put the news of Wei Dongkui's promotion to the finals on the front page, with the eye-catching headline reading "Will he be the second Chinese to win the gold medal?" and other speculations.
So many people who didn't know Wei Dongkui suddenly knew him. In an instant, Wei Dongkui quickly became the focus. But the most unexpected thing is that a post from someone unknown suddenly became popular in a well-known domestic forum. Wei Dongkui is the leader of education reform. Students in the pilot class.
For a time, the media rushed to dig out, and almost all the eighteen generations of Wei Dongkui's ancestors were dug out. The capable media even went directly to Warsaw to interview, which made Wei Dongkui stop all his exercises, but he refused to accept it. any interview.
As a result, there were various comments in the domestic media. Some said that Wei Dongkui was arrogant, while others said that Wei Dongkui was practicing in seclusion. However, the most concerning comment was one of the comments: "As a student in the pilot class, I should get the first place and bring glory to the country." "
But no one knew that Wei Dongkui was already overwhelmed by these invisible mountains.
In the hotel in Warsaw, Wei Dongkui was upset and made many mistakes even in the most basic piece of music. Yu Xue, who was standing by, looked very uncomfortable and kept comforting him: "Don't be anxious. No matter whether you win or not, it's not your fault." You, take a rest first and strive to be in your best condition for tomorrow’s game.”
"But" Wei Dongkui suddenly looked at Yu Xue, "I never thought that a graduate of the pilot class would have such great pressure before."
"You don't need to care about this at all. You are not here to get honors or win glory for the country. No matter whether you can get the first place or not, it will be a kind of training for you and will make you good in this field of music." You can go further on this road." Yu Xue patted his shoulder and said.
"Teacher Yu, I know what you mean, but if I don't get first place, they will have an excuse to scold us. If I don't get first place, they will scold Teacher Cang. We are too famous. The older ones have been regarded as omnipotent. Fortunately, I am not an athlete trained by the country. Otherwise, if I lose, they will say that I am a waste of the country's food." Wei Dongkui lowered his head and looked at the piano keys with helplessness.
Yu Xue suddenly didn't know how to comfort her students. The pressure from the contestants on Wei Dongkui was already great enough. When the domestic media interfered in this way, Wei Dongkui's heart was completely messed up. At this time, Yu Xue was even worried about what would happen tomorrow. Wei Dongkui made a mistake during the live broadcast. I wonder how the domestic media will scold him.
People often only want to see brilliant successes, not disgraceful failures.
"It would be great if he were here." Yu Xue suddenly thought of someone, but she touched her forehead, but she didn't want Cang Long to see her like this.
At this moment, the doorbell rang again. Wei Dongkui trembled, glanced at the door, and then lowered his head. Yu Xue's calm face also showed anger. She walked over angrily and opened the door fiercely. She was ready to curse, but when she saw the person standing at the door, she suddenly froze.
"Are you surprised?" Canglong looked at Yu Xue with a smile, holding a bouquet of roses in his hand.
Seeing Yu Xue staying at the door, Cang Long took a step forward and was about to kneel on one knee to give it to Yu Xue and take out the things he had prepared. However, for some reason, Yu Xue closed the door with a bang, and then there was a message. Canglong let out a scream, the flowers fell to the floor, and the bridge of his nose was knocked crooked by the door.
Yu Xue was carrying her back and was panicking. Seeing him like this, Wei Dongkui asked: "Teacher Yu, what's wrong?"
"Is there an acquaintance here?" Yu Xue leaned against the door, as if she hadn't recovered from the surprise just now, and was worried that the door would be pushed open.
"Who is it?" Wei Dongkui was surprised.
"Come here and open the door. I don't want to see him, so let him leave quickly." After Yu Xue finished speaking, she hurriedly ran to her room.
Wei Dongkui touched his head and didn't understand what he meant. They didn't have many acquaintances in Europe, but he still walked over and opened the door. When he looked at Cang Long who was holding a flower that was damaged by the door, he touched the bridge of his nose and shouted that it hurt. After being stunned for a long time, he said: "Teacher Cang Cang, why are you here? What's wrong with your nose? No matter how hard you buy flowers, you can't buy them well."
Cang Long looked aggrieved, touched the bridge of his nose and walked in angrily, saying coldly: "Where is Yu Xue."
Wei Dongkui was startled by Cang Long's attitude. He closed the door, pointed to one of the rooms, and whispered: "Inside, she said she didn't want to see you and asked you to leave."
"Oh." Canglong nodded but did not leave. Instead, he walked inside and sat on the sofa with a tissue to wipe his nosebleed. Then he looked at Wei Dongkui and said solemnly, "You have something on your mind."
"No." Wei Dongkui shook his head, poured a glass of water for Canglong, and asked, "Why did you come to Poland?"
"Don't ask me why I came. First tell me what's wrong with you. It's written all over your face and you still say you don't have anything on your mind." Canglong said coldly, "I thought you could hide it from me after not seeing each other for a few months."
Hearing this, Wei Dongkui lowered his head, told the story of entering the finals of the piano competition and the domestic media's exaggeration, and then said nothing with a serious look on his face.
After listening to this, Canglong asked: "Why do you insist on playing the piano? What makes you persist until now? What is the purpose of coming here?"
Wei Dongkui raised his head, thought for a while, and said: "For my mother, her memory has kept me going until now. The purpose of coming here is just to prove to my father."
"Oh." Canglong touched the bridge of his nose and nodded, "Then there's no chance for you. Now hurry up and pack your things and go back home to avoid making a fool of yourself tomorrow."
Wei Dongkui looked at Cang Long in disbelief. He couldn't believe that he actually said such depressing words. He immediately became dissatisfied: "Why do I have no chance? Even if I go up, I won't make a fool of myself. Even if I don't get first place, I will be the same." After you have proven yourself, how can you directly conclude that I am dead?"
Hearing this, Canglong smiled: "That's it. As long as you remember what you just said during the competition, you are not taking first place for them, and you don't need to take first place. You do this, It has nothing to do with them in itself. The requirements they give you are just a burden they want to put on you. Even if you can't get the first place, it doesn't prove that you are incapable. The purpose of your coming is just to prove yourself."
Hearing this, the heaviness on Wei Dongkui's face suddenly disappeared and he said: "Yes, I do it for myself, I just want to prove myself."
With that said, Wei Dongkui walked to the piano and practiced the piece that needed to be competed tomorrow again. No mistakes were made, and the beautiful sound of the piano was immediately heard in the room.
Canglong looked at his back and nodded happily, then walked to the door of the room and knocked quietly, but found no one responded.
Canglong thought for a while and didn't know where he got a small iron wire from and inserted it into the lock. After a few times, the lock immediately opened. He slowly opened the door and walked in. He saw Yu Xue sitting there. Sitting blankly on the bed, Canglong whispered: "Are you ready to never see me again for the rest of your life?"
Yu Xue was obviously frightened. Seeing Canglong panic, she quickly lowered her head, as if she didn't want Canglong to see anything, and said, "Go away, I don't want to see you."
Canglong ignored her, walked over and sat next to her, hugged her with one hand, held her chin with the other hand, and raised her lowered head. Yu Xue struggled desperately, but Finding that he couldn't break away from Cang Long's arms, Cang Long looked at the gunshot wounds and knife scars on Yu Xue's forehead and kissed her without hesitation: "Really?"
At that moment, Yu Xue stopped struggling. Feeling the temperature on her forehead, tears fell involuntarily. She hugged Canglong tightly: "I'm sorry, I just don't want you to see me like this. I'm sorry. It's not that I don't want to see you." you."
"Fool, no matter what you become, Yu Xue will always be there in my heart." Cang Long looked at her and carefully wiped the tears on her face.
"Really." Yu Xue looked at Canglong blankly and asked.
"A beautiful heart is more beautiful than anything else." Cang Long held her face in his hands and kissed her lips without hesitation.
