Lin Yu, an outstanding young pianist from China, has shown extraordinary musical talent since childhood. He began playing the piano at the age of four and has demonstrated exceptional comprehension and expressive ability.
On his academic journey, he was admitted to one of the top music academies in China with excellent grades, where he studied under the famous piano master Shi Shengjie, delving into classical music and constantly honing his skills.
He has distinguished himself in numerous important piano competitions both at home and abroad. In the International Youth Piano Competition, he won the championship with his superb interpretation of a highly challenging classical piece, which brought him instant fame.
His playing style is delicate yet passionate, and he has a profound understanding and unique interpretation of classical music works.
His musical footprint has reached major concert halls around the world, with every performance sold out and receiving high praise from audiences and professionals.
His performance videos have gone viral online, attracting the attention and admiration of countless music lovers.
Recently, he was featured in an English music magazine, becoming a shining star in the Chinese classical music scene.
After reviewing Lin Yu's resume, the audience's gaze towards him began to change. They realized how outstanding he was; no wonder he played the piano so beautifully just now.
Xiao Qingfeng smiled slightly and said, "Lin Yu, you are still so stubborn. The world of music is vast. Whether it is classical music or popular music, they all have their unique value."
"The piano is not exclusive to any one type of music; it can play beautiful melodies in various styles. Don't stay trapped in your own little world and be unable to see a wider world."
At this moment, some people had already quietly taken out their phones to record videos, knowing that once the video was uploaded to the internet, it would definitely cause a huge sensation.
Some people have already started brainstorming titles, ready to share this exciting "musical battle" as soon as possible.
Xiao Qingfeng stepped forward and calmly looked at Lin Yu: "Lin Yu, so many years have passed, and you are still so self-righteous. There is no distinction between high and low in music; pop music and classical music both have their unique charm."
Lin Yu laughed loudly: "Unique charm? Can your pop music be compared with classical music? You don't understand real music at all."
Xiao Qingfeng's lips curled up slightly: "Since you're so sure I can't play the piano, how about we have a competition?"
Lin Yu was taken aback, then said dismissively, "Comparing pianos? You think you're worthy?"
Lin Yu's words were filled with undisguised arrogance and disdain. He might not have been able to win against Xia Luan back then, but when it came to playing the piano, he was confident that ten Xiao Qingfengs tied together wouldn't be a match for him.
The people around them got excited when they heard that the two were going to have a match, and they started talking about the sudden conflict.
Xiao Qingfeng walked quietly to his side. Due to his height advantage, Xiao Qingfeng had to adopt a condescending, downward-looking angle.
"As your classmate, I advise you to cherish your career in the piano world!"
After saying that, he patted the other person's shoulder gently with a look of regret, then walked confidently to the piano and sat down.
Zhuo Ziqi was slightly startled, her mind filled with questions.
Xiao Qingfeng did play the piano at the charity gala held by Han Hong that day, but it was only decent. After all, it's not unusual for a singer to play the piano, and he can play it himself.
But compared to a pianist of Lin Yu's caliber, he was far inferior.
Being able to play and playing well are two completely different things!
Xiao Qingfeng's fingers first swept across the piano keys from left to right, then suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to look at the onlookers who were filming the video.
"Oh, and remember to take pictures of me looking handsome, since this is the first time I've seriously played the piano in public."
This remark immediately caused the crowd to burst into laughter.
A bold girl immediately shouted, "Don't worry, my beauty filter skills are top-notch, so please go ahead and use it!"
The girl's witty remarks once again drew laughter from the crowd!
Xiao Qingfeng nodded slightly to him, then sat up straight.
Lin Yu snorted coldly, still showing great disdain.
At this time, due to the posts on WeChat Moments and Douyin (TikTok) made by some people, many people began to gather at the piano store.
The next moment, the piano keys began to dance on Xiao Qingfeng's fingertips.
A series of bright and melodious tunes came from Xiao Qingfeng's fingertips, and a faint sadness was hidden in the bright strings.
this......
"How is this possible?"
"How is this possible?"
Zhuo Ziqi and Lin Yu exclaimed in surprise almost simultaneously.
Lin Yu, in particular, had a completely different expression.
Among everyone present, Zhuo Ziqi was undoubtedly a music connoisseur. She knew all too well what Xiao Qingfeng's piano piece meant, and more importantly, she had never even heard of the piece Xiao Qingfeng played before.
"Could this also be Xiao Qingfeng's own creation?" A terrifying thought flashed through Zhuo Ziqi's mind.
Lin Yu was stunned. After all, Zhuo Ziqi was not a professional pianist, so it was impossible for her to be familiar with all the world-famous pieces.
But he's different. As a world-class pianist, there's no piano piece in the world that you can name that he doesn't know.
However, the piece that Xiao Qingfeng was playing right now was one he had never heard of before, and what's more, it sounded so beautiful.
"He...he can really play?"
Although most of the onlookers didn't understand piano, they could still tell whether it sounded good or not.
Outside the door, an elderly man with white hair was being helped by a young girl.
The old man suddenly stopped, his body trembled violently, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?" The girl immediately noticed the old man's unusual behavior.
The old man didn't reply, but quickened his pace and walked towards the piano store.
The girl, seeing this, quickly jogged to catch up.
The moment the old man entered the piano shop, his gaze immediately fell on Xiao Qingfeng.
"Grandpa, wait..."
Before the girl could finish speaking, the old man stopped her with a gesture.
The girl then followed the old man's gaze and immediately saw Xiao Qingfeng sitting in front of the piano.
He was tall and straight, with a handsome profile, as if sculpted by a knife.
However, at this moment, handsome looks are secondary; what is more attractive is the noble, elegant, and melancholic aura that Xiao Qingfeng exudes.
Even from a distance, one can still feel that transcendent state, where people and music become one.
At this moment, Xiao Qingfeng was completely immersed in his performance, oblivious to everything around him.
finally!
The song ended.
Xiao Qingfeng sat in front of the piano, speechless for a long time.
The audience remained completely silent, their minds still replaying Xiao Qingfeng's beautiful melody.
After a long while, Xiao Qingfeng slowly stood up!
Then, facing the audience, he placed his right hand on his left chest and bowed to everyone.
At this moment, the audience realized what was happening and burst into enthusiastic applause and cheers.
"It sounds so good, it really sounds amazing!"
"Although I can't play the piano, I can still feel how incredibly moving this piece is!"
There was a lot of discussion among the crowd.
Zhuo Ziqi was also shocked. Xiao Qingfeng was not only talented and sang well, but he also had such profound attainments in piano, which had reached the level of a master.
Lin Yu's face turned pale and then red: "What kind of music is this? Why have I never heard it before?"
"And you only won because of the music; you didn't win with skill, but with the music!"
Lin Yu realized immediately after speaking that something was wrong; his words were tantamount to admitting that Xiao Qingfeng had won.
Xiao Qingfeng smiled slightly: "Of course you haven't heard of it, because this piece is being performed in front of the public for the first time in the world!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in uproar!
"Xiao Qingfeng, did you compose this piece?"
Zhuo Ziqi voiced what everyone was thinking!
