On stage, the lights flashed incessantly, and the white curtains hanging behind them billowed in the wind.
Su Can was wearing a loose white robe and a white hat with feathers stuck in the hat and on his back.
She wore a necklace around her neck, and the necklace was made up of skulls.
He was carrying an electric guitar on his back, head down, looking quite serious.

Xue Zhiqian, standing next to him, was wearing a "wool vest" with all-white tassels, making him look like a goat!
He was holding a suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument).
The strangest thing is that there is a crane on Xue Zhiqian's head.
Xu Gao, sitting next to the drum set, had his modified clothes revealing half of his arm, and his body looked as if it were bound with hemp rope.
The live chat exploded with excitement.
What on earth is Su Can doing?
[A white, hairy spider?]
[Are those garlic cloves hanging in front? Why are they hanging garlic cloves?]
[Is it a mushroom? Combined with his headdress, it feels like he's referring to a famous dish: Chicken Stew with Mushrooms!]
[Xue Zhiqian's clothes are acceptable, but what's with the crane on his head?]
The crane on its head probably means: I'm a birdman!
The tall clothes made him look like an educated mountain king!
This perfectly illustrates the saying, "It's not a thug you're afraid of, it's a thug with culture!"
The melodious sound of a guzheng drifted over.
Only then did everyone notice that there were several musicians accompanying the music at the back of the stage.
Among them, a young lady in a white gauze dress is playing the guzheng, looking like a celestial being.
She seems to be the only normal human being on this stage!
Holy crap, this scene is weirdly creepy!
[This is so creepy! The child is too scared to go to the bathroom alone at night?]
I don't know what Su Can is going to sing, but I have a really bad feeling about it!
[Upstairs, you're not just having a premonition, maybe you're a prophet!]
Su Can spoke slowly into the microphone: "I'll dedicate a song, 'Fairy,' to everyone."
The stage lights went out, then flickered on and off like lightning.
The sound of thunder and rain could be heard.
Then came a burst of suona horn music.
The drum kit, keyboard, and guitar all started playing, and the music began.
A huge white cloth descended from the sky and landed behind the stage.
The lyrics are written on it.
Fairy
...
Su Can strummed his guitar and began to sing.
"If it's dark in the east, it's bright in the west."
"I bask in the setting sun, and I bask in my sorrow."
"If you're not busy the night before, you'll be busy the night after."
"After dreaming of gold, I dream of yellow millet."
Netizens were stunned.
What's going on?
Su Can used a strange, eunuch-like voice with a Northeastern accent!
The song's arrangement is also quite unique.
The guzheng is highbrow and elegant, while the suona is more down-to-earth and popular. When the two are combined, they create a kind of rural heavy metal vibe that blends urban and rural elements.
That flavor is even more tangy and refreshing than pickled cabbage made by Hong Kong foot stomping!
After the first verse was sung, netizens went wild.
What is this thing?
[A rock version of Northeast Errenzhuan?]
[Holy crap, when Su Can wrote "Northeast Folk Songs," I thought he was the pride of Northeast China! I never imagined this would be the worst smear campaign ever against the Northeast!]
[I've never heard of this type before, it's awful!]
[I'm a lazy bum, but this time I recommended it to my sister and brother, and the three of us listened to music together. Now they've beaten me up and suspect I'm trying to scare them to death and steal all my money!]
Is this really the Su Can I who wrote "Blue and White Porcelain"?
Blue and white porcelain—I thought it was the starting point, but it turned out to be the pinnacle!
[It seems that it's true; after "Blue and White Porcelain," Su Can has gradually let loose!]
What kind of show is this? What's with this "going to a windy place" thing? Judging from the scene, I think it's a place where people get strokes!
[Stroke is amazing!]
Su Can ignored the discussions at the scene and the comments on the big screen, and continued singing.
He's really into it!
"Spring rain doesn't wet a confidant ghost."
"The autumn chill chills the lover to the bone."
"Think of heaven and earth and think of your close friends."
"I gaze at the mountains, I gaze at the water, I gaze at the dawn."
During the interlude, the sound of the suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument) returns.
The suona truly deserves its title as the king of musical instruments; once the suona sounds, the sounds of other instruments immediately become mere accompaniments.
Su Can stood in the center of the stage, swaying his head and humming, "Hey ya... hey ya..."
By this point, the audience had gotten used to it.
Looking at the lyrics more closely, it seems there's something to it.
This stuff is addictive, folks! The more I listen, the more hooked I get!
Of all the musical instruments, the suona reigns supreme; it's either for ascension to heaven or for wedding ceremonies. The pipa has stood for millennia, the zheng for ten thousand, and the erhu plays a lifetime's worth of music. But the suona's final note brings the whole performance to a close.
[At first hearing, I didn't recognize the sound of the suona; upon hearing it again, I was already in a coffin.]
Listen up, everyone! Don't underestimate this song; it's a major contribution Su Can has made to the music scene! The creation of "Fairy" fills the void of "no rock music in the funeral industry"! From now on, our funeral industry also has its own rock song!
This comment woke everyone up as if from a dream.
Upon closer examination, isn't that exactly what happened?
Incorporating the suona, an instrument essential for weddings and funerals in folk tradition, into rock music is already quite ingenious.
Su Can was still dressed like he was in mourning clothes.
All signs point to this as a contribution to promoting funeral music!
If "Blue and White Porcelain" is the pinnacle of traditional Chinese style love songs...
As for this song "Fairy", I dare not say it will always be the pinnacle, but at least for now, it is the pinnacle of funeral music!
My CanChan is amazing!
