The melody of "Stupid Kid" played lightly, like a lively stream flowing through the air. Xiao Qingfeng spoke first, his voice carrying a unique clarity and agility.
Oh~ oh~ oh, outside the quiet little village lives a silly little boy.
Born in the 1960s
[When I was around ten years old, I wasn't afraid of the sun in the city]
[Striving in the 1970s]
[We've discovered that our city friends don't need to irrigate!]
The flowers will bloom naturally.
As soon as Xiao Qingfeng sang, it seemed to transport the audience to that peaceful little village. His voice was playful, and his body swayed slightly, gradually warming up the atmosphere on stage.
Smiles appeared on the faces of the audience, infected by the relaxed atmosphere, as if they could see that somewhat bewildered child in the corner of the small village.
Then, Andy Lau's deep and magnetic voice joined in.
Oh~ oh~ oh, how fast time flies!
This clumsy child
It's that time of year again – the 1980s.
Turning thirty isn't the best, but it's not the worst either.
Having lived through the 1990s
Liu Huade's voice was steady and powerful, as if he were telling a long-ago story. Even though he was in a wheelchair, he still exuded a powerful stage presence, and his focused expression kept the audience's attention fixed on him.
The most frustrating thing is that he's always a step behind everyone else.
There's no money in that pocket.
Xiao Qingfeng sang lightly, his steps moving nimbly on the stage, as if he were imitating the child in the lyrics who went from the countryside to the city, unafraid of difficulties and forging ahead.
The audience was energized by his performance, with some young people even swaying their bodies gently to the rhythm, making the atmosphere even more joyful.
Liu Huade's singing carries the weight of time, and every note seems to contain the hardships and perseverance of people in that era.
The audience quieted down and listened attentively, as images of the past floated into their minds—figures striving for a living—gradually overlapping with the image of the clumsy child in the lyrics.
[Hey, pat your chest and stand up bravely!]
Don't be too upset.
Hey, bow to the sky and don't think too much!
Heaven has its own plan.
Xiao Qingfeng's voice rang out again, his exaggerated expression conveying the surprise in the lyrics, his adorable appearance eliciting bursts of laughter from the audience.
Liu Huade smiled and continued singing, his voice carrying a hint of relief, as if telling people that as long as you persevere and work hard, good results will always come.
At this moment, a warm feeling welled up in the hearts of the audience, moved by the optimistic spirit in the song and impressed by the wonderful performance of the two singers.
Liu Huade: [Oh, they say women don't love men who aren't a little bad in the city]
I just can't understand it.
Xiao Qingfeng: [My mother said that true love is a wonderful love story.]
[In the end, I didn't have a girl.]
Chorus: [Oh, silly child, you're still as strong as a rock.]
[It's just that I'm unbearably lonely at night.]
[Hey, pat your chest and stand up bravely!]
Don't be too upset.
Hey, bow to the sky and don't think too much!
Heaven has its own plan.
...
Liu Huade slightly raised his head, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.
As he sang, "Oh, they say women don't love men who aren't bad in the city, I just don't understand," his voice was rich and deep, as if he had poured all his past confusion about love and city life into the song.
Xiao Qingfeng skipped over to Liu Huade, a pure smile on his face, and replied in a clear voice, "Mom said that true love is wonderful, but I don't have a girl." His playful movements seemed to be telling about his youthful confusion and disappointment.
When the two sang "Oh, silly boy, you are still as strong as a rock, but you are lonely at night," Xiao Qingfeng gently put his arm around Liu Huade's shoulder, and Liu Huade nodded slightly. Their harmony was harmonious and infectious.
The audience watched the two on stage, their laughter and applause mingling together.
The young audience burst into laughter at their interaction, while the couples exchanged knowing smiles, as if they had found a reflection of each other in the song.
As the song progressed, the audience's emotions grew increasingly high.
The atmosphere at the scene was as lively as a burning flame, with the audience swaying to the rhythm and waving their glow sticks in the air, creating dazzling light and shadow effects.
The children squealed excitedly on their parents' shoulders, while the young people formed a small circle, holding hands and jumping joyfully.
However, amidst the laughter and cheers, many audience members gradually fell into deep thought.
A middle-aged man silently watched the stage, his heart stirred with emotion. He recalled his youth when he came from the countryside to the city to make a living. Back then, he was like the clumsy child in the song, penniless and feeling utterly lost and helpless in the face of the bustling metropolis.
He worked hard, but he was always a step behind in love and career, and he endured loneliness and pressure alone for countless nights.
At this moment, his eyes were slightly moist, as if he had found solace and resonance in the songs of Xiao Qingfeng and Liu Huade.
A young girl also stopped laughing. She looked at the two people on the stage, and her mind drifted to the hardships she had faced on her path to her studies and dreams.
She always felt that she wasn't smart enough and struggled to move forward in a highly competitive environment, just like that clumsy child who, despite her efforts, often encountered setbacks.
She whispered to her friend beside her, "It turns out that this song is not just a cheerful melody; it seems to describe every ordinary person like us who are trying to live our lives."
In the live stream room, the barrage of comments scrolled like a tide.
"Isn't this song about me?"
"Xiao Qingfeng and Liu Huade's performance was absolutely amazing. Behind the cheerful tone of this song lies the story of countless people."
"I'm just that clumsy kid from the countryside, struggling to make it in the city. This song really broke me down."
Netizens shared their thoughts and feelings. They came from different places and had different experiences, but at this moment, they were all deeply touched by this song.
On stage, Xiao Qingfeng and Liu Huade continued their wonderful performance.
Xiao Qingfeng and Liu Huade sang in perfect harmony, with deep emotion, "Hey, pat your chest and stand up bravely."
Liu Huade smiled and sang "Don't be too upset" in a steady voice, his gaze sweeping across the audience, giving them strength and comfort.
When the final words, "Heaven has its own arrangements," were uttered, the entire audience erupted in deafening applause and cheers.
But this time, the cheers carried a deeper meaning and a greater sense of respect.
The audience stood up and gave Xiao Qingfeng and Liu Huade the warmest applause, thanking them for awakening the memories and emotions deep in their hearts with their songs.
Whether at the scene or in the live broadcast room, people felt the great power of music at this moment.
Beyond the laughter, it allows people to reflect amidst the joy, to find a part of their soul that resonates with their own in the cheerful melody, and to cherish even more those ordinary yet hardworking days.
Like the silly child in the song, though small, he has an incredibly resilient strength, bravely moving forward on the road of life, looking forward to his own dawn.
