It was when the smoke was everywhere, and my father took me up the tower.
Looking at the beautiful rivers and mountains, my eyes were deep and sad
He said, Qin'er, do you want to see your mother?
Every night, my father would stare at a portrait in a daze
The woman in the painting is elegant and quiet< /p>
I asked my father who the woman in the painting was
My father held me in his arms, his voice was sad and desolate
This is your mother< /p>
I looked at the woman in the painting quietly,
Where is she and why doesn’t she want us?
She is living happily in one place now
p>
Many years later, I understood all the emotions contained in my father’s words
II
I met my mother in the south of the Yangtze River where the grass grows and the orioles fly.
Beside the ferry, my father and I stood quietly looking at the woman in front of us
She was really as beautiful as the painting
Time has not given us any time. She left no traces
Her brows were filled with happiness
This happiness was not because of seeing me and my father
It was because of the woman wearing Tsing Yi beside her The man in the long gown
My father never said a word
I saw him off and left
But I saw panic in my father’s retreating back and Loneliness
Three
The first time I saw him was in a dilapidated yard
It was overgrown with weeds and desolate
He was just like that , dressed in white, sitting on the ground
Playing the Paulownia Qin
There was a quiet and peaceful atmosphere around him
I just stood outside the door , looked at him quietly
He raised his head and saw me standing outside the door, and suddenly played the wrong note
I saw his eyes looking over
Turn around and flee from this courtyard
Four
Whenever it is quiet at night, I will think of him playing the piano in the courtyard
I think of him wearing white clothes that beat the snow. The appearance
Thinking about the music he has not finished playing
Thinking about whether he has taken a wife
Thinking about whether he remembers me
So, Staying up all night
Five
I wandered outside the hospital again
Listening to the familiar song coming from inside
My heart I was so happy
I opened the door carefully and saw that he was still playing the Paulownia Qin
He smiled and waved to me. That smile made the world lose its color
p>
I sat next to him and listened to him practice this piece over and over again
I looked up at his picturesque eyebrows, looking focused and serious
Thinking, how good it would be to stay like this forever
Six
The war spread to Jiangnan
People returning from the north talked about the war
How are corpses scattered all over the field and blood flowing in rivers
The enemy soldiers have reached the imperial city and the imperial city is about to fall
People are shrouded in fear
Fear of becoming a subjugated subject
Seven
I will go to see him play the piano as usual
This time my heart is not full of joy, but my eyes are full of worry
I asked him if I left this place, he smiled and said nothing
Still playing the song when we met
Over and over again, never Stop
This time, I heard farewell from the sound of the piano
Eight
When I came to the yard again, he was nowhere to be seen< /p>
I searched every corner like crazy
There was no trace at all
A few days later, it’s still the same
I looked at the yard still overgrown with weeds
It seemed like everything in the past was just a dream
It had never happened
Nine
I walked in this familiar yet unfamiliar palace
I thought about how I could never say goodbye to him when I left
After the war, my father took me back to the palace. My mother never came with me
I asked my father why he didn’t bring my mother with me
Because I hated the feeling of lovesickness
My father didn’t As I spoke, there was only sadness in my eyes. A group of actors came
I suddenly thought of him again
I walked into the palace slowly, with his back to me
A man dressed in white with shackles on his back. Playing a paulownia harp
I felt that the world was spinning
When I walked in front of him, every step seemed like a year long
He raised his head again Saw me
Suddenly I remembered the situation when we first met
However, at this time, there was no smile in his eyes
Eleven< /p>
Every night I secretly go outside his room and listen to him play music
It seems like everything is back to the time in Jiangnan
He is sick, He was very sick
I heard the coughing coming from the house, and felt heartache
I rushed into the room and fed him the porridge I made
He still refuses to look at me
The hatred between the country and the family is an insurmountable gap in front of us
Twelve
I am looking for He killed his father and begged him to let him return to his hometown
My father’s eyes were full of love, as if he had understood everything
To this day, I finally understand why my father The emperor will not bring his mother into the palace
Thirteen
On the winter solstice, the emperor will grant amnesty to the world.
I personally went to untie him and send him away
When he left, he gave me the paulownia harp he carried with him
I Standing in the heavy snow, holding the Paulownia piano, watching his back disappear into the snow
Fourteen
I was in the bedroom again, humming the song when we met Song
Over and over again
Ending
There was a lonely old man playing a paulownia piano and singing a song in the old courtyard of Jiangnan.
