At this time, Beijing No. 4 Middle School still finished school at 3:10 pm. Classes for the first and second graders started at about 8:00 in the morning, started at 1:30 pm, and ended at 3:10. People often fell asleep in the afternoon classes. Most people’s homework was
They do it during class, or they don’t do it at all. Then some leave, some go to the playground, some to the library, some to various informal activities, some study in the classroom, some chat, that’s all, very
Simple.
And the military training ended early. The new darlings of No. 4 Middle School were anxious to experience the atmosphere of this legendary super middle school, and they all ran to the library. Regardless of whether they read books or not, they went to join in the fun to prove that they had been to the library...
…
Ren He casually asked Liu Bing about the layout of each building, including the piano room.
Just when everyone else was running to the library, Ren He came to the piano room. He originally thought it would be locked, but it turned out that the old-fashioned door opened as soon as he pushed it. The piano room was spacious and bright, and the afternoon sunlight filtered through the white gauze.
The curtain shines on the black upright piano, just like a scene in a movie. It seems that the sun is shining brightly and youth is just right.
Ren He stroked the piano. It was clean and looked like it had been maintained regularly. He first tried the effects of the three pedals: the sustain pedal, the soft pedal, and the silencer pedal, and then tried several octaves.
timbre.
At this time, Ren He was a little excited. He could finally play the piano that he wanted to play most in his previous life, and he had master-level skills!
It is difficult for outsiders to understand this feeling of a dream coming true. Although the Heavenly Punishment System always makes Ren He's face bloody, there is no doubt that the Heavenly Punishment System has also helped him realize many of the dreams he had longed for in his childhood.
When he knew that the piano could produce crisp and sweet sounds, he was really touched.
What should I play? Let’s play the Croatian Rhapsody, one of my two favorite piano pieces.
In fact, the difficulty of Croatian Rhapsody is not high, that is, it is between level 6-8.
This song was written by the composer and performed by Maxim Mrvica. The music uses a bright rhythm to describe the tragic scenes of the ruins in the ashes of Croatia after the war, and the setting sun reflected in the blood, tears and dust.
Maxim was born in 1975.
In 1990, the Croatian war broke out. Thousands of grenades exploded every day in the town where Maxim lived. However, he and his mentor Maria Sexo firmly believed that music studies should continue. In
In such a dangerous environment, what supported Maxim was his piano.
So someone once said that the Croatian Rhapsody is really a rhapsody that was reborn from the flames of war.
It represents the war that Croatia has experienced, and also represents the unyielding spirit of the Croatian people in the war.
The moment Ren He's fingers touched the keys, he seemed to be a changed person. This was a profound understanding of this piano music after having played the Croatian Rhapsody on a single for half a year.
It was as if he was in the crazy artillery fire of Croatia, surrounded by shouts and screams, hoarse, children holding dolls standing under the ruins of the wall at a loss, blood and tears from people's eyes, but in those dark and bloody scenes
The other side is the glorious and unyielding side of human nature.
The fluttering gauze in the piano room is like the transparent tears of the Croats after the war, floating in the air singing an elegy, and the sunshine is faith!
And Ren He seemed to be standing in the sky full of artillery fire, with his piano in front of him! The grenade flew over his head with a sharp roar, but he only needed to play the music in his mind.
The crisp sound of the piano spreads from the fingertips to the white gauze curtain beside the window. Each note is beating in the air, like a quiet and restless soul, so contradictory and harmonious.
Full of beauty.
…
Liu Jiamin has a baby face and looks like she will never grow up. Her purpose is different from others who want to get admitted to the No. 4 Middle School. Others enjoy the elite open education here, and she does it because there is a plane where she can practice for free.
of piano.
Unlike other students who are either rich or noble here, there are also poor students in No. 4 Middle School, and Liu Jiamin is one of them.
Normally, she should live a similar life since her parents are both doctors. However, after her grandmother got seriously ill 6 years ago, her family became impoverished. Until now, she needs more than 30,000 yuan in medical expenses every month, and her parents’ salary is almost all subsidized.
So much so that Liu Jiamin, who loves piano, doesn’t even have a piano of her own.
There is such a kind of person in the world. Even if they don't have the conditions to pursue their dreams, they can still overcome difficulties and pursue the coordinates in their hearts.
There is a magical existence called Daoyuan Class in No. 4 Middle School, which is specially set up for students with special talents. They do not follow the normal college entrance examination route and are not divided into subjects. Everyone has their own expertise. Ren He has heard of some writing masters.
There are some who have published books since high school, some who have invented their own patents on aircrafts since high school, some who are masters of multimedia playing video and audio, etc. And Liu Jiamin is actually the piano student in Daoyuan's class!
In the past few years, she went to the mall every day to practice on the piano, and she actually became a piano student with her meager resources. When she was auditioning to enter the senior section of No. 4 Middle School, she played a song by a famous composer of the last century in the piano room.
His masterpiece has astonished everyone with his skills.
Or the principal decided to admit her specially because of her amazing skills, and the tuition fee was halved based on her situation.
No. 4 Middle School is such a magical place, it welcomes any outstanding talents.
Now Liu Jiamin can finally have a regular piano to practice on. This is something she accidentally heard from someone before. There is a piano donated by an alumnus of No. 4 Middle School in the piano room and anyone can play it. This is what attracted her to come here.
The reason for the fourth middle school.
After enrolling in school, although the military training was very hard every day, Liu Jiamin still insisted on going to the piano room to practice piano for six hours after the military training. She deeply understood the truth that there is no real shortcut in this world and she wanted to reach the top of the world.
You have to pay sweat.
The scariest thing is that some people are not only more talented than you, but also work harder than you.
What we often encounter is that some artists had a particularly hard time when they were young, and it was that period of hard work that created their extraordinary minds. This mind is not necessarily reflected in their emotional intelligence, but in their sensitivity to emotions.
For example, the famous writer Kafka, for example, lived under the shadow of his powerful father all his life and lived in a strange world. He developed a lonely and melancholy character and was extremely sensitive to emotions.
It is this sensitivity that makes his works famous in history.
Liu Jiamin has received cold looks from many people, and even had to bear the glare of shopping guides when she showed piano exercises in shopping malls, but she doesn't care, she just wants to gain more hope for her dreams.
That dream is like a small seedling, and Liu Jiamin uses her body to shield it from wind and rain and fill it with clear sweet springs.
But at this time, she was downstairs in the piano room, listening to the sound of the piano coming from upstairs through the white gauze curtain, and suddenly froze.
