In recent years, people no longer have any particularly high expectations for the Spring Festival Gala, but out of habit for many years, everyone still chooses to sit in front of the TV and watch the Spring Festival Gala with their family.
People who had no expectations in the first place no longer had any expectations for the Spring Festival Gala, so no matter how bad the Gala was, everyone could still watch it. Those who really couldn't stand it started playing with their mobile phones. After all, this is not the era of only televisions like twenty years ago.
Then Wang Siyi appeared and sang "Where Has the Time Gone" to bring back the people who were dozing off in front of the TV or playing with their mobile phones.
When I first heard this song, it wasn't that amazing, and the melody was bland. However, after the first chorus, everyone discovered that the lyrics were so touching.
A good song has vigorous vitality. The plain lyrics of the song "Where Has the Time Gone" go straight to the heart, expressing the love of parents in a shocking way. The soothing melody and affectionately make this love flow slowly.
The gentle melody slowly flowed into the hearts of the audience. The plain yet moving lyrics, coupled with Wang Siyi's sincere performance, resonated with the audience. The strong call for family affection instantly penetrated their hearts. The audience in the audience and those watching on TV were immediately moved to tears. This song was almost the biggest highlight of this Spring Festival Gala.
As expected, less than half an hour after Wang Siyi stepped down from the stage, “Where Has the Time Gone” directly climbed onto the trending search list and has been climbing ever since. It is estimated that it is only a matter of time before it becomes the number one trending search.
Many netizens also left their own comments and stories.
"I want to cry every time I hear this song. My parents are getting older and older, and when will I be able to hold up the sky for them, take care of them, and protect them?"
"When I heard this song, I was completely overwhelmed. It was so touching that my mother and I hugged each other and cried bitterly on Chinese New Year."
"Everyone, remember, our success must outpace the aging of our parents!"
"When I was little, I never understood why my parents could get up so early. Only when I grew up did I realize that it wasn't the alarm clock that woke them up, but life and responsibilities."
"When I was little, I didn't understand my parents' hard work. When I grew up, I understood it, but I kept busy making a living and deliberately ignored the tiredness that bent my back. Looking back, I realized that when I wanted to repay their kindness, it was already too late."
"I heard this song on New Year's Eve in a foreign land and thought of my parents. I won't run away anymore. I will turn myself in tomorrow, New Year's Day. I have to hide for a lifetime, but I can only stay in jail for a few years. I hope my parents are still around when I get out."
Everyone initially thought this netizen's comment was a joke, but the next day, a fugitive from Lin'an City who had been on the run for several years actually surrendered to the police station on Lunar New Year's Day. Afterward, everyone was surprised but also felt it made sense.
This song really contains a sincere emotion. It is a call for family affection and a teaching to children that parents are getting older and you must cherish them.
Wang Siyi had already returned to the hotel. She had no idea how much of a response her song had caused, and she was anxious to get home. Although it was already 10 o'clock in the evening, she still had to catch a flight in the early morning.
Because she hadn't spent the New Year at home properly for many years, every time she went home in previous years, she would have a quarrel with her parents. This year, she finally reconciled with them because of Li Changle, and she was on the Spring Festival Gala again, but for some reason she missed home and her parents so much that she didn't want to stay alone in Peking all night.
When Wang Siyi returned home, it was already four or five in the morning. He had not told his parents in advance that he would be back today, but he never expected that as soon as he opened the door, he saw his mother supporting her chin with her arm and closing her eyes.
The sound of the door opening woke He Shumin, who hadn't fallen asleep yet. "You're back. No one knows a daughter better than her mother. I knew you were going to rush home overnight, so I waited for you here. Your father is already asleep."
He Shumin said to Wang Siyi with a smile. When Wang Siyi saw her mother staying up late waiting for her to come home, her heart ached and tears came to her eyes.
"mom......."
She choked up and called out to her mother, then put down the luggage in her hands, walked over and hugged He Shumin, tears falling down her face. "I don't know why, but I really want to go home tonight. I miss you and Dad, Mom..."
He Shumin hugged Wang Siyi's back, wiped the tears from her eyes with her fingers, and patted Wang Siyi's shoulder. "Be good, you're already an adult, why are you still crying? Don't wake up your dad with such a loud voice. I guess he knew you were coming back tonight, but he couldn't hold on any longer and went to bed after one o'clock."
Wang Siyi felt even more upset after hearing this. She felt that she had missed a lot during these years of quarreling with her parents. "Mom, I'm sorry. I will never quarrel with you again."
He Shumin let go of Wang Siyi, then said seriously and slightly reproachfully, "What nonsense are you talking about? We agreed not to mention this again. It was our fault in the first place. I'll say it again, don't mention it again."
Wang Siyi nodded with tears in her eyes, and then He Shumin smiled and said, "Don't be nice now. You sang such a great song tonight that even your father cried. You are your mother's pride."
He Shumin was talking and then shook her head. "Oh, I don't know why. It wasn't that long ago that I felt my mother's knees were as high as mine. How come I'm taller than her now? Time... "
Wang Siyi hurriedly said, "Mom, you are still very young. If you go out with me, people might mistake you for my sister."
He Shumin gently tapped Wang Siyi's forehead, just like she did when she was a child. Then, she smiled and said, "I know exactly what Mom is like. Although the white hair on your head can be covered up, the wrinkles on your face can't be covered up. Mom only hopes that you can live happily with Changle in the future."
When Wang Siyi heard Li Changle, she immediately lowered her head and blushed slightly.
Seeing that her daughter was still shy, He Shumin shook her head and said softly, "Okay, it's so late and we've come such a long way. Go to bed first. We can talk about it tomorrow if there's anything."
Wang Siyi nodded, took the luggage and was about to go into the house, but then she thought of something and put the luggage down. Then she walked to He Shumin, kissed her on the side of her face, smiled and said, "Good night, Mom!"
"You kid...good night." He Shumin smiled and shook her head, turned and went into the house. Lying on the bed, Wang Siyi's appearance from childhood to adulthood kept flashing through her mind.
