Chapter 292: Lovers finally get married: The sweet "When You Are Old"
"I've crossed the hills, though my hair has turned white. I keep on grumbling, feeling the sorrow that time doesn't allow me to do anything. Before I even realize my wish for immortality, I've already lost myself..."
"After crossing the hill, I found that no one was waiting for me. Chattering endlessly, I can no longer recall the tenderness. Why can't I remember who gave me a hug last time, and when..."
Li Zhengwen's vicissitudes of life singing echoed in the program.
Lin Shuwei sat there, wiping away tears uncontrollably. Zhang Mingyou and the others also had red eyes. Seeing Lin Shuwei crying, Yang Mengmeng couldn't help but tear up as well.
Many people watching the show also had tears in their eyes after watching this emotional scene. Many of them are fans of Li Zhengwen and Lin Shuwei.
Because of this, they are very familiar with the stories of Li Zhengwen and Lin Shuwei, and also understand their past. Thinking about their experiences, listening to this song, I feel a lot.
This song is also very touching, especially for middle-aged audiences, this song really touches their hearts.
Isn't life just a series of hills? After climbing over the hills, there may not be any surprises. Every time you climb over the hills, you grow. Sometimes you gain nothing, and sometimes you gain surprises.
"Wow, wow, wow. I've been a fan of Li Zhengwen since I was young, and I'm over 40 now. When I heard this song, I couldn't help but get teary-eyed. Who could understand the pressures of middle-aged people..."
"This song is so beautiful, it contains so many insights into life. I think only Teacher Li can sing a song like this with such flavor..."
"I finally understand why Teacher Li made an exception and participated in Longing for Life. This song is such a classic..."
"I like it, I want to play it on repeat. Su Yang is so talented..."
"After listening to this song, I was deeply moved and felt an indescribable feeling in my heart..."
Barrages of comments were flying everywhere, and most of the audience were directly conquered by the song.
This song is well written and well sung.
This song was written by Su Yang, but if Su Yang were to sing it himself, he really wouldn't be able to capture this flavor. This song requires someone with life experience and hardships to sing it to its essence.
This song is a perfect match for Li Zhengwen.
It was for this reason that Su Yang gave this song to Li Zhengwen to sing. There were too many songs in the system, and many of them were not suitable for Su Yang to sing.
When the song ended, Li Zhengwen slowly put down his guitar. Lin Shuwei wiped her eyes with a tissue. She could clearly hear the emotion Li Zhengwen conveyed in the song.
This song contains Li Zhengwen's cry for his life and his confession.
When you are young, you don’t understand love. The result of your impulse is that you will climb over the hill and find no one waiting for you.
Li Zhengwen put down his guitar, suddenly came to Lin Shuwei, knelt on one knee, and took out the ring he had prepared long ago from his pocket.
"Wow……"
Seeing this scene, everyone at the scene exclaimed. The audience also became excited, watching Li Zhengwen open the ring and listening to Li Zhengwen's words of proposal to Lin Shuwei, the barrage of comments flew again. When Lin Shuwei agreed, Li Zhengwen put the ring on Lin Shuwei with a silly smile on his face. At this moment, everyone felt that the whole world was full of happiness.
"Wow, wow, wow, I never thought that Teacher Li would propose again, oh my god..."
"It's so sweet, oh my, I'm so happy..."
"Lovers finally get married, blessings, in fact, both of them have not forgotten each other..."
"Although I had some suspicions before, I didn't expect Teacher Li to actually take action. Wow, this is so sweet..."
"Wow, we've witnessed history. Thanks to Longing for Life. This show is truly amazing..."
Netizens were really excited this time and were deeply moved by "The Hills", and then they presented a scene of sweet happiness.
Looking at the childlike smile on Li Zhengwen's face and then at Lin Shuwei's slightly shy face, at this moment, all the audience sent their blessings to them.
Who says love is something for young people to play with? It is more touching and romantic when played by middle-aged and elderly people.
"Bless you all, this is Su Yang's gift to you..."
The director appeared and handed Li Zhengwen a letter.
Under everyone's attention, Li Zhengwen opened it.
"Hey, it's a poem..."
Li Zhengwen said with a smile, and Lin Shuwei also came over. Then Li Zhengwen started reading first.
"When you are old, with gray hair and a deep sleepiness, sit wearily by the fire, take down this book, and read it slowly, chasing the eyes of those days, their gentle spirit and deep halo."
Li Zhengwen read quietly, and everyone listened quietly. After Li Zhengwen read a paragraph, Lin Shuwei read the next paragraph.
"How many have loved the shadow of your youth, loved your beauty, with falsehood or with true love. But one person loves your pilgrim heart, the traces of time on your sorrowful face. By the grate, you bent down and whispered with a faint sadness, how love faded, how it climbed the mountains, how it hid its face among the stars."
Lin Shuwei read the song softly, with a sweet smile on her face.
At this time, music also sounded in the show.
"When you are old and your hair is gray, and you are drowsy..."
"When you are old and can no longer walk, you take a nap by the fire and recall your youth..."
The song began, Su Yang's voice. The show's footage switched to some past interactions. There were scenes of Li Zhengwen and Lin Shuwei interacting, scenes of Su Yang and Qin Shuyao interacting, and scenes of some mother-son interactions.
The last episode ended with the song "When You Are Old".
The screen presents a nostalgic feeling, not only with past episodes of "Longing for Life", but also with many old photos. Li Zhengwen and Lin Shuwei when they were young, Su Yang and Qin Shuyao when they just got married. There are also some photos of the guests when they were young for comparison.
In particular, the group photos of the Four Heavenly Kings are presented one by one, from their vigorous appearance in their twenties to their current state full of vicissitudes of life.
This time, the audience was once again moved by the show.
"Tonight is definitely the Battle of the Gods. The finale of the first season is such a classic."
"'The Hills' is nice, as is the poem 'When You Are Old', and the song itself is nice too. Su Yang is so talented..."
"I was moved to tears by the last scene of nostalgia, especially the photos of me getting older. I couldn't stop crying..."
"I couldn't help but take out the photo album in the drawer. Watching myself grow up little by little, watching my parents grow old little by little, it really made me sad..."
"Thank you to the production team. This program has brought me so much emotion and happiness during this period..."
“See you next season…”
“See you next season…”
“See you next season…”
“See you next season…”
Finally, the entire barrage became unified. The first season ended perfectly, and everyone is looking forward to seeing you next season.
At Yanjing TV, everyone swallowed their saliva when looking at the ratings.
For the final episode, they knew the ratings would explode, but they didn't expect them to be this high.
The average viewership rating exceeded 4, and the highest viewership rating exceeded 5, breaking the record again. And this record is estimated to be unbreakable for a long time.
The director looked at the ratings, feeling happy but also a little sad.
Although it has been taken over by "Sound into the Heart", this show will definitely not be able to surpass "Longing for Life". "Longing for Life" is now directly enshrined in the gods.
Slow life variety shows, now all major TV stations are also creating their own slow life variety shows. It is completely imitating the routine of the life you yearn for.
But it's so hard to catch up with "A Longing for Life." They can hardly find big-name guests like Li Zhengwen and Lin Shuwei. Even if they do, their stories won't be as exciting as these two.
Not to mention some of the awesome songs that appear on the show.
If nothing else, the song "Hills" alone is enough to eclipse those shows. It's so high-quality, even Mango TV feels hopeless about such a variety show. They know they can't achieve the same success as "Longing for Life" in a short period of time.
However, "A Longing for Life" also opened up a new variety show type.
They didn't expect this kind of variety show to be so popular. Now Mango TV has also launched a similar variety show, and the reputation is quite good. Although the ratings are not very high, they are still pretty good.
"The first season of Longing for Life has concluded, and Li Zhengwen and Lin Shuwei have remarried..."
"Half of my life's insights are all in 'Hills', Li Zhengwen's new song 'Hills' is a hit..."
"Li Zhengwen and Lin Shuwei remarried, and Su Yang successfully opened up the matchmaker business..."
"The Four Heavenly Kings reunite, and looking back, half of my life has been wasted..."
"'A Longing for Life' broke the ratings record, breaking the ratings record by 5..."
After the last episode was broadcast, topics related to "A Longing for Life" were all over the Chinese Internet.
The most popular news is the remarriage of Li Zhengwen and Lin Shuwei.
On the show, Li Zhengwen successfully proposed to Lin Shuwei. This was definitely the biggest news of the moment, with countless netizens talking about it, and most offering their blessings. However, there were also a few haters who criticized him, but that's normal; there are all kinds of trolls online.
The remarriage of the two became the biggest gossip of the night.
The second is the song "Hill". After the show was broadcast, Li Zhengwen put the song on major music platforms. And it was free. After seeing this song, many netizens immediately requested it, and then the song directly landed on the popularity list.
The quality of this song is amazing. It is a true classic hit. Coupled with the popularity of "Longing for Life", this song has successfully gone viral. The "Gangnam Style" that has been a huge hit in China these days has been overshadowed by this song.
Take a look at the popularity list on Weibo. Among the top ten, five are related to "A Longing for Life".
The top spot went to Li Zhengwen and Lin Shuwei's remarriage, followed by Li Zhengwen's new song "Hills," the sixth spot was the reunion of the Four Heavenly Kings, the seventh spot was the conclusion of "Longing for Life," and the ninth spot was Su Yang's poem and new song "When You're Old."
