At just eighteen years old, Wen He is diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. A system appears and binds itself to him.
Even though he was born into a cold and harsh family, and even though he i...
Those who understand this song also deeply felt the emotions the singer wanted to convey.
They no longer care whether the person singing is Wen He or not.
His strength has won over everyone's hearts.
Regardless of whether it was Wen He or not, it is undeniable that this is definitely a good song.
"The restless guests~"
"Performing with an air of self-importance~"
"Pretending, dancing, exhausted~"
You pick up your glass and say to yourself...
"One cup to the rising sun, one cup..."
"…………"
If people in the past didn't fully commit themselves to it...
So the moment the chorus started, they were completely frozen in place.
The once incredibly noisy food stall was now so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Wen He's not-so-loud singing voice became exceptionally clear.
The unique vocal style perfectly captures the song's sense of vicissitude.
I really want to know the name of this song and on which platform it will be released. I'm willing to pay for it; it's one of the few songs that can truly move me.
[I'm almost 100% certain now that this person is Wen He! Only Wen He could sing like this!]
His style is truly unique; it's no exaggeration to say that he's one of a kind in the entire world.
[Who can argue with that? Other people's songs are just songs, but his songs can play a movie in your head—who could stand that? And that movie is actually your own life.]
[So you guys feel the same way? I thought I was just imagining things.]
Every time I listen to Wen He's songs, it's like watching a movie or experiencing a life. Even after I've finished listening, I'm left with a lingering aftertaste. They're truly amazing.
As everyone was filled with emotion, the chorus came to a complete end, ushering in the climax of the song.
"One glass to tomorrow, one glass to the past~"
"Supporting my body, your shoulders are strong and supportive."
Although I've never believed in the idea of mountains reaching high mountains and rivers flowing long distances~
Life is too short to dwell on the past.
Those who were just feeling sentimental suddenly felt a shiver run down their spines.
If the first four glasses of wine were a toast to their past, then...
So these two glasses of wine are a toast to them right now.
After all, places like food stalls are mostly frequented by middle-aged people.
Young people go to the food street, while older people go to the square dancing area.
This age is when they bear the heaviest burdens in their lives.
A person's shoulders bear more than just the weight of a family.
Having elderly parents to care for and young children to raise is a common saying we hear since childhood, but we only truly realize its meaning when we experience it firsthand…
What a heavy responsibility this is.
The parents who raised us have grown old, and our young children are still in school.
The line "Life is too short to dwell on the past" really resonated with me. Many times, many things really don't need to be taken to heart. It's a pity I realized this too late; otherwise, I would have avoided many detours.
[Who can argue with that? From a young age, we're taught not to cause trouble for others, to be polite, and not to be petty. But as we grow up, we realize that those who act this way are often the ones who suffer the most.]
[It may seem like we're showing reverence for all things, but in reality, it's about respecting ourselves.]
In truth, we ourselves are all things. If we die, all things in the world will become irrelevant to us, and what difference would that be from nothingness?
We really need to treat ourselves well; only when we are comfortable will the world be beautiful.
This society is one where the loudest voice gets the most distribution; often, speaking in a more assertive tone can really save you a lot of trouble.
By this point in the song, some people were already quietly wiping away tears.
Many people have not learned to make peace with themselves.
Many people are even unable to empathize with their past selves.
Just like the phrases I hated hearing as a child: "It's all for your own good," "Study hard," "Don't waste money," "Listen to your parents/teachers/boss"...
When you grow up, you'll find that you'll repeat these same things to the younger generation.
It seems that everyone's life is a giant cycle.
When I was a child, I hated being lectured by adults.
Even when your child grows up, you will still earnestly advise them to work hard.
"One glass to freedom, one glass to death."
"Forgive my ordinariness, and the confusion will dissipate."
"Okay, I always leave hastily after dawn."
"The most absurd people are those who are clear-headed."
"The most absurd people are those who are clear-headed..."
As the song came to an end, the food stall remained quiet for nearly five minutes.
Everyone was stunned. Even though the song had ended, Wen He's voice still lingered in their minds.
People who had recovered burst into thunderous applause, their eyes red with tears.
At first, people came here just for fun.
I wanted to see who would sing in such a noisy place as a street food stall.
Some people just came to join in the fun.
But no one expected that once they came, they would never be able to go back.
One cup to tomorrow, one cup to the past, a toast to the hesitations of middle age; one cup to freedom, one cup to death, a toast to the reflections of old age. Eight short cups, a toast to this life...
What must one have gone through to write lyrics like "The most absurd people are the ones who are clear-headed"?
This song really resonated with me. I now understand why some people say that being "muddled" is a good thing. Sometimes, you really can't be too clear-headed; playing dumb is a clever tactic.
Everyone is happy to accept someone who is foolish, but it's hard to accept someone who is excessively clever. Before you have enough power, pretending to be foolish is a very useful form of self-protection.
[Wow, that song you sang was amazing! What's it called? Also, are you Wen He yourself?!]
The people around were excitedly restless.
As expected, Wen He slowly stood up, took off her hat and glasses, bowed to everyone, and said with a slight smile, "I am Wen He. Thank you all for liking me."
Although people already have an answer in their hearts about who created this song.
but……
When Wen He actually stood in front of them, everyone was taken aback.
He stood there, not in a massive concert hall where one had to look up to see him, and he exuded an ordinary aura no different from that of any other person.
This is a new song, a never-before-released song, and now it's being performed in a place like a street food stall.
Without any hesitation or concealment.
It's as if his songs were written for the common people from the very beginning.
All his songs are available on every platform, and he has never received a single penny in payment.
Instead of looking down on everyone from a high place, he bowed and thanked them after receiving applause.
Upon seeing Wen He, who was both ordinary and extraordinary...
Everyone looked at him with tears in their eyes and joy.
He wasn't as dazzling as everyone imagined; in fact, he was so ordinary that people would doubt him.
He is someone that everyone can approach and accept, without making anyone feel intimidated.
Only this kind of Wen He is the Wen He in their hearts.
