Xi Murong
When I was in junior high school, I learned the song "Farewell" and often loved to sing: "Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is blue and blue ..."
One afternoon, my father suddenly stopped me and asked me to sing again from the beginning. I, who was rarely noticed by my father, was very excited, so I quickly sang from the beginning: "Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road ..."
My father interrupted me as soon as I started. He asked me, "Why is it outside the pavilion? Why not outside the Great Wall? I always thought it was outside the Great Wall! "
I took out my music textbook and tried to prove his mistake to my father. But my father doesn't want to see it. He just said to me with regret: "It's a pity that I always thought it was outside the Great Wall and wrote about our hometown, so I was particularly moved when I first heard this song and I never forgot it." I didn't expect to be wrong for so many years. What a pity! " Father said "what a pity" for a while, and then walked away, leaving me standing alone in an empty room, not knowing what to do.
When I first moved to Shimen county a few years ago, I was pregnant with Kyle and listened to the doctor's instructions. I often walk alone in the fields. At that time, the mountains were covered with acacia trees, which were green. Walking in, you can hear all kinds of birds singing. The fields are always green, and many birds will fly past me boldly.
At that time, I saw the lonely bird, standing quietly on the telephone pole by the field, standing on the thin wire, with black feathers and double tails like scissors.
"Swallow it!" My heart froze like an electric shock.
Isn't it? Isn't this a swallow? This is a swallow that I have never seen before. Isn't this the swallow that grandma sang in the book? In the warm sunshine of the South Garden, my heart sang the song that my grandmother loved to sing over and over again: "Swallow! Swallow! You are my gentle and lovely little swallow ... "
I will often see this same bird in the next few years. Sometimes, I hold Hill, and sometimes I hold Kyle. Every time, I will excitedly point out to the children: "Look! Baby. Look! That's a swallow, that's mother's favorite swallow! "
Kyle in my arms is babbling, and sweet soft lips follow me to say some children's words without accent. The sky is so blue and the wind is so soft. I stood on the south building with my child in my arms, looking at the quiet blackbird, and my heart was filled with a hazy joy and a hazy sadness.
Until last summer, at the invitation of a certain department, I went to a park in the south to sketch with some painters. In a book about natural resources near Kenting, I saw my swallow. It has the same black feathers as in the picture. It is also a pair of scissors-shaped tails, but in the explanation and explanation below, it is written that its name is "Wuqiu".
At that time, I had many friends around me, but I suddenly felt very lonely. Among my friends, many experts have rich research experience in this field. As long as I ask my question, I will get an answer immediately. However, my only reaction at that time was to close the book quietly and then go out quietly.
At that moment, I suddenly realized that my father was disappointed that afternoon many years ago. However, I think, although sometimes, on the road of life, we have to face all the truth, but sometimes we can really keep some small beautiful mistakes, which are harmless and uncontroversial, but can bring us very deep comfort.
I really can't bear to part with that little swallow!
The second exam
What is it?
Professor Su Lin, a famous vocal expert, found a strange thing: among the more than 200 students who took part in the chorus training class this time, there was a 20-year-old girl, Chen Yiling, who achieved excellent results in the initial test: vocal music, solfeggio, ear training and music theory were all listed as excellent, especially her beautiful tone and wide range were amazing. But the second interview was disappointing. Professor Su Lin's life is full of peaches and plums. Many of his students are internationally renowned, but such a young and talented student is the first. This is the first time such a thing has happened.
The public examination was held in that antique hall. When Chen Yiling calmly stood in front of several famous vocal experts of the Examination Committee and finished singing Xian Xinghai's famous song "Come in February", people crowded outside the doors and windows, and even the professors without any expression could not help secretly blinking. According to the regulations, candidates are required to sing a foreign song. She sang the aria "Have a nice day" from the Italian opera "Madame Butterfly", which shocked four seats with her brilliant timbre and profound understanding. Professor Su Lin, who has always been famous for his strict requirements, could not help but nod his head in agreement, and there was a smile hidden under his stern eyes. Everyone stared at Chen Yiling silently: a bright green wool coat and a pair of close-fitting brown trousers, just like a slim young tree on a spring morning. Under the eyes of the public, the girl who was originally smiling could not help but be slightly confused.
The second interview will be held in a week. Admission depends on it. This will determine a person's career. After the initial test, there are very few people left now; And the second interview will be conducted under stricter requirements in all aspects. All the famous musicians in this city have arrived. Almost all examiners and observers are very picky about their choices. However, they all left an impression on Chen Yiling: If only one person meets the admission requirements, then the only person should undoubtedly be Chen Yiling.
Who knows the truth, but it is unexpected. Chen Yiling was the last person to attend the second interview. She sang the same two songs, but her voice was harsh and disgraceful. It sounds completely different. Is it because of stage fright and palpitation, or because of physical discomfort, which affects the voice? People even wonder if there is any indiscretion in her lifestyle! People here looked at each other, and everyone looked up at her with questioning and wondering eyes. Although she can't hide the drowsiness on her face, her bright eyes look dull and dull, and her naughty mouth also reveals an unspeakable anxiety, but on the whole, she is clear and frank and can be trusted; Just because of an accident, she suffered setbacks, which is exactly what people don't understand. She smiled apologetically at everyone and walked away.
Professor Surin was obviously very angry. He has always believed that to be an artist who is truly loved by the people, we must first set an example in all aspects, a noble person! Singers are no exception! But such a girl who gives up on herself will never become an accomplished singer!
He turned angrily and looked out of the window. The city has just been hit by the worst typhoon this year. The broken branches and leaves outside the window are scattered all over the floor, and the whole row of bamboo fences are stuck on the water-filled ground, which is a bleak scene.
The examination committee has two opinions on Chen Yiling: one thinks that Chen Yiling's voice is extremely unstable, not solid and difficult to create; Another person thinks that she should be given a chance to try again. Professor Su Lin has his own opinion. He thinks that the most important thing is the root cause of the disparity between her two voices. If the problem lies in her attitude towards career and life, no matter how good her voice talent is, she can't be admitted! This is the first condition of all conditions!
But what is the reason?
Professor Su Lin took Chen Yiling's registration form from his secretary. He drew a thick line on the address bar with a red pencil. The registration photo on the form is a lovely face, a small and beautiful mouth, bright and simple eyes, and a slightly wrinkled nose when laughing. All this seems to remind the famous vocal expert that he can't treat a person in any simple way-a person with life, thoughts and feelings. At least some details of the girl are invisible in this simple form at present. If you lose this time, maybe this person will break up with music all his life. Her genius may be buried from now on. As a music professor whose duty is to train students, if so, he will never forgive himself.
The next day, Professor Su Lin set off by the first tram in the morning. According to the address on the registration form, I finally found the remote road in Yangshupu. As soon as I entered the alley, I was taken aback.
Some walls in that alley have collapsed, the burnt beams are horribly black, and the broken tiles and ruins sometimes show yellow rags. All these show that this alley was not only damaged by typhoon, but also obviously had a fire. In the rubble field of this disaster area, some people are busy planning early in the morning.
Professor Surin is holding a piece of paper, and I don't know where to find it. Suddenly, I heard a child open his mouth on the balcony window opposite the house.
"Mi-e-e-e-e-e-e, are you-ah-ah-ah-ah-"It seems that the singer is practicing his voice. Professor Su Lin couldn't help laughing. He guessed right. This child is Chen Yiling's younger brother, and he is learning his sister's vocal posture carelessly.
From the child's mouth, I know that his sister is a demobilized soldier who came back from the art troupe. After arriving in Shanghai, she was assigned to the factory to do administrative work. She is a Communist Youth League member, an active and enthusiastic person. No matter in the factory or in the alley, there is nothing wrong with looking for Chen Yiling! Two or three days ago, because of the typhoon, the power line near here was broken, and many people were displaced. Chen Yiling was too busy to stay up all night to resettle the victims, which finally affected his voice. The next day happened to be the day when she went for a second interview. She said "Oh dear" and went to the exam.
This is the whole story.
"Look, she is still busy there!" The child waved his hand out of the window and said, "I'll call her!" " I'll call her! "
"No, just tell your sister that she has been admitted to two books! She is fully qualified to be an excellent singer, isn't she? I almost made a mistake! "
Professor Surin came out of Chen Yiling's house and walked at a brisk pace. Yes, something touching filled his chest this morning. He wanted to go back and tell everyone about the music student he found and her story.
