1289 The Dad In Xixi's Eyes (3/3)
Xixi likes to watch her father play the piano very much, especially when she sits next to her father at close range. Whether in the side hall at home or in such a popular occasion, Xixi thinks that her father plays the piano and sings very well. Perhaps it is the charm of confidence or the role of music. Anyway, her father is super cool!
So, the little girl sat obediently beside her father, first looking at her father's skillful playing enviously, "I want to be like this with my father, I play it so well!"
Then, as Dad started humming softly into the microphone, the little girl raised her head again, looked at Dad's side face intently, and listened.
"there’saplaeinyourheart, andiknotatitislove..." As if he was in the face of a child's gentle persuasion, Yang Yi's voice was soft, and he could not feel the little bit of vicissitudes and power contained in his previous voice, as if... it was like someone else was singing.
But it is true. Under this background and proposition, Yang Yi sang a very famous charity-themed song "healtheorld" by Michael Jackson, who was a superstar in the world in his previous life. Like MJ, Yang Yi sang her soft feelings and reflected her care for the children in her voice.
Don’t think that Yang Yi is a bit too fragile when singing English songs. Needless to say, the people here are all language experts. Even if the foreign languages that international students mainly learn French, the international students who can study abroad (and are invited to the embassy to attend dinner) are basically students with good grades. The English that they have learned since childhood in China is definitely not bad. Therefore, everyone can understand the English song that Yang Yi sang, which has not complicated lyrics and content,!
Even, let alone those international students who have been studying for so many years, Xixi, who is sitting next to Yang Yi, can fully understand what her father sang!
The beginning sentence, "There is a place in your heart, and I know it is full of love." The content is not complicated, it is similar to the meaning of "the original nature of human beings is good", and aims to awaken people's care for the world in their hearts.
When Yang Yi sang it gently, the lyrics were accompanied by slow rhythms. The beautiful piano sound of the piano slowly flowed into people's hearts like a clear spring.
The entire conference hall was quiet. Whether it was Chinese or foreign guests invited, especially the Canadian ambassador to France, Mr. Smith, who highly praised Yang Yi's daughter, also put down his chopsticks and listened with a solemn look on his face.
“…inthisplaeyou’ll feel there’s no pain or worry in this place”
"There are many ways to get to this loving place in your heart, as long as you are full of care for life."
As Yang Yi hummed slowly, the thoughts he wanted to express were gradually revealed.
It turns out that Yang Yi did not criticize the brutality of KBFZ like the outside media, but instead traced the origin and grasped the focus of the problem. He even hoped that everyone would care about life and reduce conflicts, and called for the war to stop and let the world return to love and peace!
Just as he sang in his lyrics, “makealittlespae, makeabetterplae, healthold (give each other a little more space, make this land better, and save the world!)”
This lyrics are quite catchy, especially the following paragraph "makeabetterplae, foryou andforme, and theentirehumanrae (make this land a better place, for you, for me, and even for all mankind)". Everyone listened to it once or twice and remembered it.
Xixi sat aside and listened to her father singing. In fact, Xixi could understand the literal meaning of the lyrics, but gradually, the little girl's limited thinking ability was a little unable to keep up with these lyrics with deeper meanings, but this did not prevent Xixi from listening to her father singing and appreciating the beauty in her father's singing!
Just like "therepeopledying, if youareenough fortheliving, makeitabetterplae, foryouandforme", Xixi found it difficult to understand the meaning of this lyrics, but she could hear the lyrics that brought a more evocative beauty because of the rhyme, and she could also see the way her father sang this time and gently shook his head because he wanted to hang his voice.
At this moment, the little girl was left with deep admiration!
She couldn't help but turn her head to look at the brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts around her. They all listened very seriously, and many people even shook their palms to the melody. Her dedicated look allowed Xixi to feel the charm of her father more clearly!
"My dad!" Xixi thought proudly, and her father was firmly imprinted in her heart that she was playing the piano and singing coolly!
This song is very long, and it is so long that Yang Yi sang it behind. Everyone can nod their heads gently and hum a few words, "makeabetterplae, foryouandforme..."
But no matter how long the song is, it ends. Because it was a live singing, Yang Yi did not repeat it too many times in the end, nor did he drag it too long. He just ended with a simple tremolo and gently raised his hand.
The entire banquet hall was silent, and everyone was silently singing this calm song with an indescribable touch. When Yang Yi got up, everyone seemed to suddenly wake up and applauded Yang Yi enthusiastically.
The sudden applause made Xixi, who saw his father wave to him, jumped off the chair to pull his father's hand, caught him off guard. The little girl took a little surprise and took a step back slightly. She leaned on her father and opened her big eyes carefully. Seeing the brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts first sat at the table to applaud, and then after the uncles got up at the main table, they all stood up and gave them even greater applause!
There seemed to be an indescribable sense of honor spreading in the little girl's heart.
Xixi felt her little hand being pinched by her father. She came to her senses and looked up at her father. Then, at the dad's instructions, she was a little nervous and turned around the circle with her father and bowed to the audience.
At this time, the little girl heard a tall foreign uncle on the main table and asked, "yang, what's the name of your song?"
Xixi knew that this was asking her father. The little girl turned her head and looked at her father. She saw that her father was calm and nodded in a humble and arrogant manner and replied, "Healtheorld."
Then, Xixi saw that the tall foreign uncle gave his father a thumbs up and praised him: "thankyou!andyou’re right, eshouldbemoreonernedabouttheliving andmakeabetterorld. (Thank you, you are right, we should care more about life and create a better world!)"
For some reason, Xixi felt that this uncle's praise and recognition of his father seemed to be very important, and many people were cheering and applauding this.
However, before Xixi could react in a daze, the little girl was surprised to see that the tall foreign uncle gave her a thumbs up and said with a smile: "And you, little girl, you are the best piano player. My daughter and I both like your performance very much. Keep working hard!"
This sudden praise caught Xixi off guard. The little girl hid behind her father a little embarrassedly. Her well-behaved and cute appearance once again gave her the laughter that everyone loved.
