"good!"
"Who's the team leader? They're so impressive!"
"Amazing!"
After the music stopped, thunderous applause followed.
Qiao Sinian led the cheerleaders in bowing three times to the audience.
Then she smiled and took the microphone from the person next to her, who appeared to be the host.
"--young people--!"
After checking her name, she shouted the cheerleaders' most common phrase towards the audience: "Go! Go!!"
The simplest and most sincere encouragement is given to everyone at this freshman welcome party.
Just as the cheerleaders were leaving, everyone thought it would be time for the host to come on stage.
But a different piece of music played instead.
If the previous "Zombie" was intense...
Then this little tune becomes quite powerful.
A young man in a suit and red tie walked onto the stage, microphone in hand. As the intro began, he started to speak:
"Youngman! There's no need to feel down!"
(Young people have nothing to be discouraged about)
"I said young man pick yourself off the ground!"
(I said young people can pick themselves up again)
"I said young man 'cause you're in a new town!"
(I said young man because you're in a new town)
…
"An English song? I never listen to English songs, but it sounds so familiar!"
"This song is called 'YMCA'."
"I swear I've never heard of this song title before."
People were discussing the songs on stage.
"On the Chinese internet, this song also has a resounding name."
"…What?"
"—The Song of the King of Understanding Entering the Battle"
“…”
…
"Young man young man i was down with the blues——"
As the last line of lyrics fell, the singer rose again, almost shouting, "Young man!"
He raised the microphone high again, and amidst the thunderous applause, shouted:
"Let Jiangnan University become great again!!"
The applause grew even louder.
The freshmen suddenly realized that this welcome party was actually kind of interesting.
…
Li Si stood backstage, arms crossed, gazing at the stage.
Like Qiao Sinian, he joined the student union in his freshman year and followed the seniors to host the welcome party.
This is the third and the last time.
"That's really good." Li Si smiled at himself.
