The original author of this poem is the famous poet Yeats.
Has won a Nobel Prize.
In that world, after this poem was translated, it once affected the entire poetry world.
Anyone with a little bit of literary literacy or appreciation level can hear the brilliance of this kind of poetry.
Although this poem does not have gorgeous rhetoric, it has a beautiful artistic conception. It may seem that the sentences are quite plain, but it contains deep emotions.
Focused.
If this poem is tested in the exam, this sentence can be written on the test paper.
Li Shuren has a lot of research on poetry.
Whether it is ancient poetry or modern poetry, he has very high attainments and has also published poems himself.
In Li Shuren's opinion, Xu Zhou's poem can be ascended to the highest palace and can be sung by the world.
Of course, the same is true for the poems Xu Zhou wrote on his scarf before.
It is really lucky for Daxia to have a poet like Xu Zhou.
The applause continues.
The thunderous snapping sound lasted for several minutes.
In the middle, Xu Zhou signaled several times to stop everyone from applauding.
But it doesn't work.
Everyone still clapped excitedly.
Being able to see Xu Zhou composing poetry live with my own eyes was a little more shocking than the scarf poetry meeting.
After all, at this moment, everyone is seeing it with their own eyes.
Waiting for the applause to finally subside.
Xu Zhou added: "Everyone knows that in ancient times, the poems written by poets could be sung."
In ancient times there was no so-called music scene.
But there are musicians, singers, and brothel girls.
The works of great poets and lyricists are the objects of their singing.
It can be said.
These women also made a little contribution to the spread of ancient poets' works.
Ahem.
Just like Liu Yong Liu Sanbian.
His lyrics are so good.
So every time he goes to a brothel, the ladies there don't ask him for money, they just hope to get one of Liu Yong's works.
If Xu Zhou took the system to ancient times.
You can get almost the same treatment.
But Xu Zhou doesn't like to be pornographic.
Everyone present agreed with Xu Zhou's words.
It’s okay to disagree. This is basic common sense. Elementary school students all know that ancient poems can be sung.
But can modern poetry also be sung?
Everyone looked at Xu Zhou quietly on the stage.
Just listen to him say: "The song you just heard when you are old can also be expressed in the form of a song. I will simply sing it a cappella for everyone."
This song is particularly suitable for singing a cappella.
There is no need for complicated musical instruments or ever-changing melodies.
What is needed is a kind of eloquent emotional expression.
Xu Zhou's voice is particularly suitable.
After looking at Luo Xi, who was sitting quietly under the stage, Xu Zhou felt like singing this song.
He put the microphone to his mouth, and everyone heard Xu Zhou's pure singing voice.
When you get old your hair turns gray
sleepy
When you get old and can't walk anymore
Keep warm by the fire and recall your youth
How many people loved you when you were young and happy?
Admire your beautiful pretense or sincerity
There is only one person who still loves your pious soul
Love the wrinkles on your old face
When you get old and your eyebrows droop
The lights are dim
The wind blows your news
This is the song in my heart
...
The lyrics have been slightly changed.
But the basic framework is still the same poem.
Everyone listened quietly to Xu Zhou singing.
In the huge auditorium, except for Xu Zhou's singing, there was no other sound.
No one could bear to disturb them by making any noise.
Xu Zhou did not show off his skills, his singing was not exaggerated or flashy, he just sang softly without leaving any trace.
But it is this kind of emotion that touches people's hearts even more.
When Xu Zhou finished singing this song.
The auditorium was boiling.
Everyone felt that apart from applauding Xu Zhou, they could only applaud Xu Zhou.
"Oh, I wasn't a fan of Xu Zhou before, but after today, I completely fall in love with him. Xu Zhou is so talented."
"Me too, I can't accept it."
"If this song is on a music platform, it will definitely be another hit."
"Xu Zhou's popularity is indeed justified, and he is not a wasted name."
"Xu Zhou is much better than those little fresh meats, who can only howl like ghosts and wolves on stage."
"There's no comparison between Xiao Xianrou and Xu Zhou, okay? Xu Zhou is not just a star! In my heart, he is more talented than many ancient poets."
Xu Zhou won applause from the audience with his song "When You Are Old".
I don’t know how many students from Beijing University have become Xu Zhou’s fans because of this event.
In fact, Xu Zhou said before that the most romantic thing in the world is to grow old slowly with the person you like.
The song that fits this sentence, besides When You Get Old, is another classic song.
It's "The Most Romantic Thing".
I believe many people are familiar with the lyrics in it.
The most romantic thing I can think of
Just growing old together with you
Collect every bit of laughter along the way
Save it for later, sit in a rocking chair and chat slowly
After much deliberation, Xu Zhou did not sing this song live.
It's better to keep a low profile yourself.
One song "When You Get Old" is enough for students to learn on site, and for netizens to digest it slowly.
It was hard to wait until the scene finally calmed down.
Xu Zhou said: "I am very happy to come to Beijing University today, and I am even more happy to be able to communicate with everyone here. Due to time constraints, our..."
Xu Zhou hasn't finished speaking yet.
The students in the audience raised their hands one after another and shouted loudly: "There is one last question!"
"Xu Zhou, I have another question!"
"There's one more question! It's not over yet!"
Seeing the reactions of everyone in the audience, Xu Zhou was stunned for a moment.
He thought everyone had asked the last three questions, but he didn't expect there was another one.
Mistake.
Xu Zhou was not very embarrassed.
He smiled, then pointed to a boy in the third row and said, "This classmate, please ask the last question."
After the classmate stood up, he said: "Hello Xu Zhou, I am Zhao Jian from Yingguo. I have a question to ask you..."
But before he finished asking, Xu Zhou interrupted him and said, "Aren't you from Daxia?"
This man's appearance is the same as everyone else's, and he doesn't look like he is from Yingguo.
Xu Zhou thought he was from Daxia.
Zhao Jian said: "Oh, no, I am not from Daxia. I am of Yingguo nationality. I was just born in Daxia, but I came to Yingguo when I was very young, and now I am studying abroad in Daxia."
Xu Zhou understood.
This is a banana man.
Although they look the same as Daxia people on the outside, they have mutated on the inside.
To be honest, Xu Zhou didn't have much fondness for this kind of person.
But because of the recording of the program, Xu Zhou couldn't say much. He just said with a cold expression: "What do you want to ask?"
Zhao Jian asked: "Daxia does have many excellent songs, but from a global perspective, Daxia's music does lack influence. Does this mean that the music of Daxia is not as good as the music of Yingguo and other countries?
?Just like the classical musical instruments of Daxia, which are gradually being eliminated by the times and gradually falling out of fashion?"
As soon as this question was asked, the whole auditorium was in an uproar.
