Host He Han stood in the center of the stage, her emotions running high: "As you all probably already know, the next person to appear is none other than our champion from last week, Teacher Xiao Qingfeng!"
"In past programs, Mr. Xiao has clearly stated that every song he performs on this stage is an original work and is his debut performance!"
"In the first and second episodes, Mr. Xiao fully demonstrated his undeniable talent for original compositions with his strong abilities. Tonight, Mr. Xiao will once again bring you an original work, and this time it's a song specially created for firefighters!"
"Next, let's shout out the name of this song together..." He Han had barely finished speaking when he pointed the microphone forward!
"The Lone Warrior"
Five thousand audience members shouted those three words in unison, their voices thunderous.
"That's right, it's 'The Lone Warrior.' Now, let's give a warm round of applause to welcome Teacher Xiao on his grand entrance!"
As soon as He Han finished speaking, a deafening scream erupted from the audience. After a long week of waiting, they had finally reached this moment.
Xiao Qingfeng stepped onto the stage with steady and firm steps. He wore a simple yet stylish black suit with a snow-white shirt underneath and a dark red tie at the collar, making him look exceptionally energetic and capable.
He exuded a calm and powerful aura, as if this stage was his own territory and he was the undisputed master of it.
Xiao Qingfeng stood in the center of the stage, bowed slightly to the audience, then raised his head, looked firmly into the distance, took a deep breath, and prepared to begin this grand musical feast.
Meanwhile, Xia Luan, at home, looked at Xiao Qingfeng, who was radiant on stage, her eyes filled with jealousy and resentment.
Perhaps Xia Luan still felt a little guilty towards Xiao Qingfeng before, but at this moment, she only felt hatred towards him, a deep and abiding hatred.
Why is it that I was eliminated while Xiao Qingfeng was able to be so spirited on stage?
Ambitious and full of aspirations, Xia Luan found it hard to accept such a cruel defeat. In her opinion, the culprit who caused her current predicament was Xiao Qingfeng.
On stage, information about the song has been displayed on the big screen!
Without a doubt, the song's format remains the most beautiful sans-line poem!
Whenever viewers and netizens witness Xiao Qingfeng's most beautiful three lines of text, they always feel a special kind of anticipation, simply because every song by Xiao Qingfeng is a first release, and no one has ever heard of it before.
People tend to have higher expectations for the unknown.
Moreover, today's occasion is different from the past, because this song was created for the great firefighters, which naturally adds to the anticipation.
Even firefighters across the country who were not on duty were closely watching Xiao Qingfeng's wonderful performance, eager to know what kind of songs he had created for their teams.
The prelude's melody is slightly somber, even somewhat oppressive, instantly evoking a sense of unease in the listener.
As the prelude progressed to a certain point, Xiao Qingfeng finally began to sing.
They were all brave.
The wound on your forehead, your differences, the mistakes you made.
There's no need to hide anything.
Your worn-out doll, your mask, your true self.
They said they would tame every monster with light.
They said they would stitch up your wound.
Why is loneliness not glorious when no one loves the Joker?
It is only human imperfections that are worthy of praise.
Who says someone covered in mud isn't a hero?
The audience members in the audience and those watching the live broadcast were all invigorated upon hearing this.
Although they did not yet understand the profound meaning contained in Xiao Qingfeng's lyrics, just the first few lines made them feel an emotion that was constantly accumulating, as if it could erupt like a volcano at any moment.
At this moment, the audience was completely captivated by Xiao Qingfeng's singing, and even their emotions were firmly drawn to him.
Backstage, Mei Fei stared intently at the big screen and couldn't help but exclaim, "Xiao Qingfeng truly deserves to be called a genius; every song is like a heavy blow to the soul!"
The other singers around nodded in agreement.
Loving you, I walk alone through dark alleys.
I love your unwavering demeanor.
[Loving you has faced despair]
Refusing to even shed a tear
I love your tattered clothes.
Yet they dared to block fate's gun.
Loving you is so much like me.
The gaps are all the same.
[Do you deserve this tattered cloak?]
[War! War! With the humblest of dreams]
[To the sobs and roars in the darkness]
Who says only those who stand in the light are heroes?
Just then, a short video released by CCTV was suddenly shown on the large screen behind Xiao Qingfeng.
In the video, wildfires rage, and firefighters, covered in soot and wounds, bravely launch repeated attacks on the raging flames, disregarding their own safety.
Despite the fierce wildfires, not a single person retreated!
The audience members were glued to the heart-wrenching images on the big screen, tears welling up in their eyes.
A young girl covered her mouth with both hands, trying her best to suppress her sobs. Her shoulders trembled slightly, and her heart was filled with profound respect and endless emotion for the firefighters.
The middle-aged man beside him was already in tears, his eyes filled with unwavering faith, as if at that moment he was connected with those brave and fearless firefighters.
In the live stream room, the barrage of comments came like a surging tide.
"This is a true hero!"
Salute to the firefighters!
"Xiao Qingfeng's song is so touching!"
"I'm so heartbroken, firefighters have it so tough."
...
Countless praises and exclamations instantly filled the entire screen.
The professional singers backstage were also deeply moved, their expressions solemn and dignified.
Some clasped their hands together and prayed silently; others bit their lips, their eyes revealing sincere admiration for Xiao Qingfeng's talent and deep respect for the song's theme.
Mei Fei's eyes welled up with tears. She murmured to herself, "This song is not only a perfect blend of melody and lyrics, but also a transmission of a great spirit. Xiao Qingfeng has truly achieved the ultimate."
Singer Wang Bolun couldn't help but exclaim, "Xiao Qingfeng's precise grasp of emotions has reached an extraordinary level, which is beyond our reach."
Xiao Qingfeng continued to sing with deep emotion. His voice seemed to possess a magical power, immersing everyone in the venue and the live broadcast room in the stirring melody and deeply moving scenes.
They said they wanted to curb your arrogance.
It's like wiping away dirt.
They said to climb the steps.
The price is bowing down.
Then let me not ride the wind.
You, too, possess that same proud, solitary courage.
Who says ordinary players aren't heroes?
......
[Do you deserve this tattered cloak?]
[War! War! With the humblest of dreams]
[To the sobs and roars in the darkness]
Who says only those who stand in the light are heroes?
As the song drew to a close, the audience rose to their feet, erupting in thunderous applause that resounded throughout the venue.
Someone shouted, "Xiao Qingfeng, thank you!"
"Firefighters, you are the best!"
The audience at the scene and those watching the live stream were all thrilled at that moment.
Tears welled up in Xiao Qingfeng's eyes as he bowed deeply to the audience once more before slowly walking off the stage amidst thunderous applause.
The audience's enthusiasm lingered long afterward, still savoring the deeply moving song, their respect for the firefighters growing ever stronger.
