Chapter 47 Witnessing the Birth of a New Ceiling

An appetizer?

What a boastful tone!

In the past, perhaps even the most accomplished pianists present would have scoffed at this.

But right now, no one is uttering a single word of rebuttal.

The person who said those words was ejected from the battlefield!

Age is irrelevant; only ability matters.

Even though he was only nineteen years old!

The accompaniment team from Tianrui Entertainment was extremely excited at this moment.

They never imagined that one day they would be able to perform in the Golden Hall in front of a host of important figures.

At first I was a little nervous and felt a lot of pressure, but soon this feeling of oppression gradually dissipated.

There is no other reason.

Lin Rui's unrestrained and arrogant demeanor on stage, coupled with the silence below, gave them immense confidence!

You should know that those sitting below are all internationally renowned piano masters!

In the realm of piano, these people harbor strong anti-Japanese sentiments.

But today, Lin Rui on stage completely silenced these people!

This stark contrast filled them with a deep sense of pride!

The staff responsible for moving the musical instruments assembled and arranged them in an orderly manner.

This process lasted ten minutes.

During those ten minutes, apart from a few whispers among the audience, no one voiced any dissatisfaction.

Even Henry, who was the most vocal in his opposition and harbored deep resentment towards Xiazhou, dared not utter a single complaint.

The staff responsible for moving and assembling the equipment walked off the stage, and Tianrui Entertainment's accompaniment team also got ready.

At this moment, Lin Rui sat back down in his chair.

Everyone was looking forward to his performance.

They were eager to know what kind of feast would follow, so that the unrestrained and flamboyant "Flight of the Bumblebee" would become just an appetizer in Lin Rui's eyes.

At this moment, Lin Rui seemed to have adapted to the stage.

The lingering effects from my past life have largely dissipated.

Perhaps it was the presence of teammates on stage that made him feel less lonely.

It's also possible that, after his recent unrestrained arrogance, he's already able to handle this level of attention.

"A new song, 'Leaving Xia Prefecture'."

Because the original title, "Exodus," was too out of place, Lin Rui had to make some changes. He didn't want anyone to come and ask him later, "What kind of place is Egypt?"

Taking a deep breath, Lin Rui gently stroked the black and white keys in front of him.

"Though we are as insignificant as ants, we should aspire to great heights."

"Life may be as fragile as paper, but one should have an indomitable spirit!"

A VIP room.

Li Donglai, who had been sitting quietly, slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

"What a wonderful saying: though born as an ant, one should aspire to great heights!"

"What a fine saying, 'Life is as fragile as paper, yet one should have an indomitable spirit!'"

"A dragon that gets the clouds and rain is no longer a creature confined to a pond."

"If everyone in Hua and Xia states is like a dragon, with unwavering determination and strong will, our great nation will surely rise and stand at the pinnacle of the world!"

It wasn't just him.

The people in the other VIP rooms also stood up and looked at Lin Rui on the stage with surprise in their eyes.

The audience, from the high-ranking members of the Xiazhou Art Association to Song Jun and other members of the delegation, all looked excited.

Song Jun and others, in particular, were no longer discouraged or depressed.

They were no longer lost, and their fighting spirit was rekindled!

yes!

We are born as insignificant as ants, yet even ants cling to life, knowing how to choose death.

Why can't we have lofty ambitions?

Walk your own path and let others talk!

Even if we fail, we can proudly tell our future selves, "I have no regrets, I tried and I fought!"

Even if it comes at a terrible price, or even with our lives, so what?

We are all as fragile as paper, we bring nothing into this world and take nothing with us when we die. We just need to face our fate with equanimity, and eventually we will see the clear breeze and bright moon, and the turbulent river!
