As Xiao Qingfeng finished singing, the entire audience erupted in applause.
Lou Yuqing could no longer contain her excitement. She rushed onto the stage, her eyes glistening with tears and admiration. As soon as she got on stage, she gave Xiao Qingfeng a big hug.
"Qingfeng, you were amazing today! These two songs expressed the feelings of all of us!" Lou Yuqing's voice trembled slightly, full of sincerity and emotion.
Xiao Qingfeng smiled and replied, "Brother Yu, this is what I should do. We are all Chinese people, and this feeling should not be buried."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Lou Yuqing turned to the audience and announced loudly, "Next, Xiao Qingfeng and I will perform a song called 'A Thousand Miles Away' for you. We hope you enjoy it!"
The stage lights changed instantly, creating a distant and slightly melancholic atmosphere.
The prelude slowly begins, and the melodious sound of the erhu is like a lament, as if taking people to an old platform full of farewells.
Lou Yuqing spoke first, his unique, clear voice like a mountain spring, pure and melodious:
The eaves are like a cliff.
【Wind chimes like the vast ocean】
I await the return of the swallows.
[Time was scheduled]
[Staging an Accident]
You quietly walked away.
Lou Yuqing has always been synonymous with elegance in the music scene. He has an elegant posture and stands on the stage like a gentle and refined gentleman, showing his demeanor in every gesture.
Every word was clear and precise, perfectly conveying the subtle sadness and anticipation in the song.
Xiao Qingfeng followed closely behind, his slightly hoarse yet highly penetrating voice a stark contrast to Lou Yuqing's:
The story takes place outside the city.
The dense fog won't dissipate.
[The dialogue is unclear]
You can't tell?
[No word from them]
[It's me who's feeling sentimental.]
Xiao Qingfeng closed his eyes slightly, his body swaying gently to the melody, immersed in the emotions of the song. At this moment, he was like a traveler who had experienced many hardships, expressing the longing and helplessness deep in his heart.
The audience was captivated by the two distinct yet complementary voices, their eyes filled with rapture.
The middle-aged audience seemed to be transported back to the farewell scenes they had experienced in their youth, their eyes revealing a hint of melancholy and nostalgia.
The young audience was moved by the beautiful melody and the heartfelt performance, their faces filled with focus and admiration.
As the melody progressed, the duet between the two singers brought the atmosphere to a climax:
When I wake up from my dream, who's at the window?
[Reveal the ending]
That future, as thin as a cicada's wing
[It can't withstand being demolished by anyone]
I saw you off, a thousand miles away, you are silent and indifferent.
[A silent era, perhaps, is not the right time]
A love that's too far away
I saw you off, a thousand miles away. Are you still there?
Where does the music come from? Its fate remains a mystery.
[To wait a lifetime]
Lou Yuqing's high notes are crisp and melodious, while Xiao Qingfeng's low notes are mellow and deep. The two intertwine, like a beautiful musical dialogue.
During the performance, a series of poetic images were displayed on the big screen, including ancient courtyards, sailboats sailing far away, and falling leaves, which perfectly blended with the mood of the song, making the audience feel as if they were there.
A young female audience member, with tears welling in her eyes, held her friend's hand tightly and whispered, "This song is so moving; it's as if I can touch that deep longing and helplessness."
A middle-aged man next to him nodded slightly, lost in his memories, and murmured to himself, "I had the same mindset when I left my hometown to make my way in the world."
As the song progressed into its second half, Lou Yuqing's singing became increasingly delicate:
[Clad in pristine white, transparent to the dust, your flawless love.]
You came from the rain, poeticizing sorrow; I am now drenched.
His eyes were filled with affection, and he leaned forward slightly, as if he were confiding in his lover far away.
Xiao Qingfeng responded with his unique explosive power:
Lotus blossoms bloom on the water, the boat's shadow lingers as it sails, but you never return.
Covered by time, the flowers you spoke of blooming have become a blank page.
The two became increasingly in sync, shining like two dazzling stars on stage.
The audience's applause rang out frequently, intertwining with the singing to create a warm and moving scene.
As the last line, "Wait a lifetime," fell, the stage lights gradually dimmed, leaving only two spotlights shining on Lou Yuqing and Xiao Qingfeng.
The entire audience rose to their feet, erupting in thunderous applause and cheers that lasted and echoed throughout the stadium.
The audience's faces were filled with satisfaction and emotion, and many were still immersed in the lingering charm of the song, unable to extricate themselves from it for a long time.
As the last note of "Far Away" faded into the air, the online live stream was instantly flooded with comments, and the show became incredibly popular.
"Xiao Qingfeng and Lou Yuqing's collaboration is simply seamless. One is as clear and lively as a spring, and the other is as mellow and strong as a liquor. The two styles blend together and create a breathtaking musical spark!"
"Xiao Qingfeng's understanding of life's partings is fully reflected in his songs. Every lyric he sings is like telling a story from the past, filled with helplessness and longing."
......
Amid thunderous applause and cheers, Xiao Qingfeng and Lou Yuqing stood side by side in the center of the stage, their faces beaming with satisfaction and gratitude, waving frequently to the enthusiastic audience below.
Lou Yuqing cleared her throat, and her voice was clearly transmitted throughout the venue through the microphone: "Dear audience friends, it is truly a rare and precious opportunity for us to gather here today and experience the charm of music together."
"As everyone knows, Xiao Qingfeng came to Taiwan with a sincere heart. He kept telling me that when he came here, he must treat every audience member equally and use music to convey his most sincere emotions."
At this point, Lou Yuqing turned slightly to the side, looking at Xiao Qingfeng with admiration in her eyes.
"And for this trip to Taiwan, he specially composed a very challenging Hokkien song, just to dedicate to you all here."
These words instantly ignited the audience's enthusiasm, and deafening shouts erupted throughout the stadium:
"I want to hear it! I want to hear it!"
"Holy crap, Xiao Qingfeng can speak Hokkien too! I just want to know if there's anything he can't say?"
"I never expected Xiao Qingfeng to have this trick up his sleeve, it's such a pleasant surprise!"
"Hokkien songs must be very charming, I can't wait to listen to them!"
Lou Yuqing looked at the excited audience below the stage and smiled as she raised her voice:
"Now, let's hand the stage over to Xiao Qingfeng and let him use this heartfelt Hokkien song to once again take us on a journey through the wonderful world of music. Let's give him a round of applause!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the stage lights focused on Xiao Qingfeng. He took a deep breath, his eyes revealing a hint of nervousness and excitement.
He slowly walked to the front of the stage and said into the microphone, "Thank you for your enthusiasm. I hope you will like this Hokkien song, 'You'll Win If You Fight Hard'."
At this moment, the prelude to the music begins...
