Chapter 11
Fu Chanwei looked at Chris who suddenly started crying and didn't want to be separated from Chunxi. She felt a little funny and touched. The friendship between children is really the purest. Chris is twelve years old, which is the time when he is about to mature but not yet mature. He is also the youngest in the family. While taking care of Chunxi, he also feels his own growth. He is reluctant to leave Chunxi and really treats her as his younger sister.
"But Ivory will miss leaving her parents too. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely bring her back to Portugal to see you, okay?" Chanwei carefully reasoned and comforted Chris.
When Chris blurted out that request, he actually knew it was impossible, but he just couldn't bear to do it psychologically.
There are only five days left. Chunxi and the others will return to their country and they will be separated. They can only make the best of these last five days.
During these five days, Chris took Chunxi to play in every corner of the familiar slums where he had played before, took Chunxi to his school to "listen" to one of his football games, and took Chunxi to every place in Funchal that he had been to, after all, he had not been to many places. During these few days, Chunxi's Portuguese learning level has made great progress to the point where she can basically understand it (I don't care whether it's scientific or not, I just think this is the setting that makes me so happy).
The day before leaving, Chris took Chunxi to a grass field where he often practiced basketball. They sat on the grass and watched the sunset. Chunxi could feel the soft evening sunlight on her face, the gentle breeze brushing her cheeks, and Chris's slightly depressed voice.
"We may never see each other again." Chris was depressed and wanted to cry again.
"No, my mother said that she would bring me back to Portugal if she had the chance. I will come back to see you as soon as I get here, okay?" Chunxi held Chris's slightly sweaty hand and gently comforted Chris's sadness.
"What if you come back but I've moved and you can't find me?" The boy always has endless worries when facing the people or things he cares about.
Chunxi thought for a moment and said seriously, "Then you should play football well, play your best, and try your best to stand at the highest place in the world so that everyone can see you. That way, I will definitely be able to see you. Then I will come to find you, okay?" Chunxi thought of a foolproof plan. She reached out and took off the jade pendant she had been wearing since birth from her neck and handed it to Chris, then continued, "I can't see you now and don't know what you look like, but you should play football well and remember to wear this, so that I can definitely recognize you."
Chris tightened the jade pendant in his hand, and became more determined to persist in playing football well and pursue his dream of becoming a world-renowned football star. He took Chunxi's hand and put it on his face and said to Chunxi, "I think it's safer. You touch my face and remember my appearance. Then you should be able to recognize me."
Under the reddish setting sun, the breeze blew across the green grass. In the quiet and deserted place, a little boy and girl were sitting there. One was a little girl of five or six years old, wearing a white dress and a white veil over her eyes, and the other was a boy of about ten years old, wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt and black sweatpants. The little girl's tender white hands gently covered the boy's face and slid slowly, carefully feeling every detail on the boy's face, the thick eyebrows, big eyes, high nose bridge, deep and stylish facial features, and soft, slightly thin lips. "I remember it." I only heard the little girl whispering in the wind, "I remember your face."
No matter how reluctant you are, you still have to part in the end. The Aveiro family eventually went to the airport to see the family off.
Chunxi sat quietly in her seat, listening to the sound of the plane starting and the gradually rising air. She turned to Fu Chanwei sitting next to her and said, "Mom, I miss my brother Chris." David was already bubbling with jealousy when he heard Chunxi say that. Fu Chanwei touched her daughter's head lovingly and said, "You will meet again one day."
After returning to China, Chunxi took several days to recover from her depressed mood. Theresa didn't want to live with David, so David bought her another house. Then Theresa happily began to learn Chinese. She decided to go to China's Hope Primary School to teach English as a diplomat. In her spare time, Chunxi would learn Portuguese with her grandmother. After the bandages on her eyes were removed, she learned piano and harp with Theresa, and pipa with her grandmother. Little Chunxi was still obsessed with singing, so David hired a tutor to teach her to sing.
A child's voice changes a lot as he or she grows up. Whether he or she is suitable for singing can only be known after the voice change period. When a child is young, learning to sing generally involves learning the correct way of vocalization and breath regulation during singing. Originally, David and Fu Chanwei thought that Chunxi would be tired after learning so many things at once, and would definitely give up one or two of them. As a result, Chunxi not only did not give up or complain about being tired, but became more motivated and serious the more she learned.
Chunxi's singing teacher, Mr. Lu, also told the couple that Chunxi's control over music was surprisingly perfect, so perfect that it was amazing. As long as she listens to a song once, she can grasp the tone, pitch and rhythm very accurately and sing it perfectly. Just based on this point, Teacher Lu must teach Chunxi well, this kind of talent is too rare.
Not to mention that Chunxi has a very good voice, just like a lark, very beautiful. And for some reason, Chunxi's singing is very contagious, or full of emotion, which can make people intoxicated. Teacher Lu was one of them. It was the first time for her to hear her students sing "Lu Bing Hua" and her eyes became red and her nose felt sore.
With proper training, she will surely become an excellent singer in time.
Chunxi also made great progress in learning musical instruments. Theresa could no longer teach her, so David hired special teachers to teach her. Those teachers were full of praise for Chunxi.
With fulfilling studies every day, Chunxi began to grow up gradually, left kindergarten and went to elementary school. Because of growth and defects, some memories of her childhood began to fade away in her mind, and only a vague impression of Brother Chris remained in her brain. She still remembered that she knew a Brother Chris, and that they had agreed to meet again, but she had forgotten the method and content of their agreement, and forgot how to find Brother Chris.
Chunxi was growing up, and the Fu family was growing up too. In the past seven years, the Fu family, with its extraordinary vision and strict discipline, undoubtedly became the number one family in Shangjing. After returning from serving as the governor of Zhejiang Province, my uncle Fu Zhengqi took the position of the highest leader of China in the new election. My second cousin achieved the highest position in the military with his strong tactics and sharp mind. In addition to the business empire jointly created by Fu Yingmao and David and the Fu family, the three giants of military, political and business all came from the Fu family. The height of the Fu family can be said to be unprecedented and unparalleled. Chunxi, as the only unmarried person in the Fu family, has many admirers at such a young age.
Chunxi is twelve years old and will be going to junior high school in the second half of the year. As she grows up, Chunxi's face gradually becomes more mature, and her lethal diamond-like beauty gradually begins to show. What is commendable is that one is beautiful without knowing it. Chunxi does not think she is very beautiful, and does not think anyone likes her. This is a huge blow to those who secretly want to pursue Chunxi or whose family members encourage them to secretly pursue Chunxi.
There is actually another unknown reason, which is that Chunxi is really too busy and her schedule is extremely tight. She has to learn piano and singing after school every day, and learn pipa and harp on weekends. She also has to make sure her academic performance is at the top of the class. Chunxi spends all her energy every day absorbing all kinds of knowledge and abilities like a sponge. She doesn't have time to think about those idle things about love.
David was very satisfied with this situation. His daughter was not smart enough and no matter how you hinted or teased her, you couldn't take her away from him.
Chunxi's musical skills have made great progress with the guidance and help from many aspects. She has passed the highest level in all musical instruments. What is worth mentioning is Chunxi's singing.
Naturally, Teacher Lu, whom David found for Chunxi, was the best teacher. However, for Chunxi, who was making progress every day, Teacher Lu felt that he was no longer able to teach her well, so he generously let go and found another teacher for Chunxi.
The new teacher's surname is Xu, and his name is Xu Jinzhou. He is a professor in the Vocal Music Department of the China Conservatory of Music and is also a very famous folk singer. Teacher Lu once studied under Professor Xu. This time, he really didn't want to let such a good seedling like Chunxi go to waste in his hands, so after much deliberation, he contacted Professor Xu and recommended Chunxi to him.
Professor Xu certainly would not accept a disciple casually. What impressed Professor Xu was a piece of Chunxi's coloratura practice that Teacher Lu sent to Professor Xu. However, this little Lu was really rude. He taught this child such a difficult piece right away...
This piece of music is indeed very difficult. It is called "the Diva Dance" and is a coloratura song performed by French director Luc Besson in the movie "The Fifth Element". This song is said to be an extremely difficult coloratura piece that "cannot be completed by humans". The original singer used a computer to synthesize the voices of multiple male and female voices at their peak, added computer sound effects, with a span of more than 4 octaves, and high-speed conversion between true and false voices. The song expresses a perfect mood, just like her elf-like aria, partly ghostly. The most difficult part of "Dance of the Goddess" is not the pitch, but the breathing. As for the song itself, its highly innovative performance techniques are enough to make it unforgettable.
Although Chunxi is still young, her grasp of this extremely difficult coloratura piece is already thrilling. Professor Xu was originally sitting on a stool casually watching the video that Xiao Lu sent him, but the more he watched, the more frightened he became, and the more he couldn't sit still. All singers know the difficulty of this song. Even if the pitch has been reached, there will always be some shortcomings in the tone jump, fluency, resonance and saturation, and even that is already incredible. But the child in the video in front of me has effortless transitions between notes, perfect pitch, steady breath, and a strong aura in every gesture while singing, as if this extremely difficult song is nothing to her. Such ability is really frightening to see.
After watching the video, Xu Jinzhou immediately contacted Xiao Lu and asked Xiao Lu to take her to meet this magical child. Of course, Teacher Lu was very willing and immediately took Xu Jinzhou to Chunxi's home. Although the faces of the people in the video are not clear, we can tell that Chunxi is a very beautiful child. It was not until they actually met that Xu Jinzhou realized how shameless it was to use only the two light words "beautiful" to describe Chunxi. Her beauty was like a beam of light, shining straight into people's hearts.
She was born to be on the stage, Professor Xu thought secretly, she was born to stand where the light gathered.

I can't think of what to say for now.
