Xiao Qingfeng bowed in Meng Xianghui's direction, knowing that this was an opportunity specially arranged for him by the director to clear his name.
So even though Xiao Qingfeng is no longer Xiao Qingfeng, he is still very grateful and should be thankful for the kindness of others.
Conversely, one must also retaliate against any malice from others!
On stage, Xiao Qingfeng looked at the crowd and said, "The song 'The Wind Rises' just now was a reflection on life. The next song, 'Cherish,' is a small piece of advice from your senior brother to you all: cherish the people in front of you!"
After Xiao Qingfeng finished speaking, the audience erupted in cheers once again.
Under normal circumstances, these words wouldn't have such a powerful impact, but because today is a graduation party, it means that everyone present will face a major farewell in a few days.
Therefore, the word "cherish" sounded exceptionally harsh and heavy to everyone at this moment!
At this moment, many people began to look at their partners, roommates, classmates, lovers...
Four years of university life are about to come to an end, and so many people and things worth "cherishing" are beginning to surface in everyone's mind...
At this moment, the prelude to "Cherish" slowly begins!
The students below the stage also subconsciously quieted down!
[Moored at the pier where we parted yesterday]
Many dreams, layered and fragmented.
A person waits for loneliness with the bright moon after sunset.
Youthful folly sometimes cannot withstand the autumn winds.
The lyrics, though only four lines long, resonated deeply with all listeners!
These four short lines of lyrics paint a picture of parting: under the setting sun, after dusk, at the bow of the boat, you stand at the bow and I stand on the shore, the departing sailboat is about to set sail, and the feelings are hard to express!
The teenage and twenties are the most spirited and energetic time of life, and also the most sentimental time!
Life has seven sufferings, and parting is the most heartbreaking. Unbeknownst to many, their eyes are already filled with tears at this moment.
On stage, Xiao Qingfeng's singing voice continued to tell the story of parting!
[You experience more trouble than happiness]
[Through my deep affection and fleeting fate]
Who says youth can't be filled with mistakes? I'd rather shed tears than bow my head.
Cherish what you once had and the hands you once held.
Cherish your youthful dreams, cherish the time spent together.
Who can resist youthful madness and venture out alone?
Even though the moon waxes and wanes, and people experience sorrow and joy.
Who can resist setting sail on the ship of their dreams?
Cherish the tears shed for me, cherish the years spent for you.
Who could remain unmoved and indifferent to this precious moment?
Tomorrow, there will still be clouds to fly; let the sky keep me company as I chase them.
Having no regrets is also a kind of beauty in life.
When the song reached this point, an astonishing scene unfolded in the audience: sobs could be heard from the seats, and many students were already in tears.
The professors and college leaders sitting in the front row, just like the students, had tears in their eyes!
These lyrics are poetic and philosophical, profoundly depicting the various emotions and experiences of youth.
"When I was with you, I had more worries than joy; when I was with you, my love was deep but our fate was shallow." With simple yet powerful language, this poem expresses the complexity and impermanence of emotions in life, where joy and sorrow are intertwined, and deep affection is met with a shallow fate, filled with helplessness and lament.
"Who says youth can't make mistakes? I'd rather shed tears than bow my head," embodies the stubbornness and courage of youth—daring to make mistakes, forging ahead, and not easily giving in even when shedding tears.
"Cherish what we once had, cherish the hands we once held, cherish the dream of youth, cherish the time we spent together," emphasizes the value of past beautiful experiences and times, and expresses nostalgia and longing for the past.
"Who can be young and not reckless, venturing out on their own? Even if the moon has its phases, even if people have their sorrows and joys, who can not raise the sail of their dreams?" This describes the youthful recklessness and the persistent pursuit of dreams, never giving up on one's dreams no matter how many setbacks and joys one encounters.
"Cherish the tears shed for me, cherish the years spent for you, who can remain unmoved and indifferent to this precious time?" This further deepens the theme of cherishing, showing that not only joyful times, but also sorrowful tears and years are worth treasuring.
"Tomorrow there will still be clouds to fly, leaving the sky to accompany me in my pursuit; living without regrets is also a kind of beauty in life," conveys a positive attitude that even if the future is full of unknowns, we should bravely pursue it and not regret our past choices and experiences.
The lyrics express a feeling of both gratitude and appreciation, as well as both persistence and magnanimity.
Its imagery is like reminiscing about the journey of youth, filled with laughter and tears, regrets and perseverance, ultimately moving forward with a peaceful yet firm attitude, cherishing the past and bravely facing the future.
It makes people feel the preciousness of youth, the power of dreams, and the importance of cherishing the present moment.
At this moment, in this scene, the audience automatically immersed themselves in the scene from Xiao Qingfeng's song, which is why the Kyoto Conservatory of Music graduation party witnessed an unprecedented scene where everyone wept.
A truly good song can touch the soul, and Xiao Qingfeng's "Cherish" clearly reaches that level!
Meng Xianghui, sitting in the audience, was in tears. When Xiao Qingfeng showed him the demo and sheet music that morning, he only felt that the melody was beautiful and the emotions were sincere, but he did not expect that the live performance would bring him such a great shock.
