Shanghai truly lives up to its reputation as an international metropolis.
Early this morning, there were already quite a few people doing their morning exercises in the park.
Li Tian also noticed that the skin colors here were very mixed, with people of all races.
Enjoy the park scenery while jogging.
Hey! Li Tian!
Li Tian heard the voice and turned around to see a young girl greeting him.
The girl nodded to him and then left.
Li Tian had thought this beautiful woman would ask for his autograph, but it seems he was overthinking it.
They didn't mean that at all.
At this moment, Li Tian realized that he had come out in a hurry without making any disguise.
Looking back, I saw Adan not far away.
After thinking about it, I decided against it. Going back would likely give Huang Yin an opportunity to take advantage of me.
As I was running forward, I saw a group of old men playing the erhu (a two-stringed bowed instrument).
Li Tian also became interested and slowly walked over to the group of old men.
I just listened quietly to their performance.
The group of elderly men noticed Li Tian, but none of them stopped.
After the song ended, an old man looked at Li Tian and said, "Young man, I've seen you watching this for a while now. What, are you interested in this too?"
Young man?
Li Tian originally wanted to complain, "I'm over forty, okay?"
But seeing this group of men in their sixties and seventies, I really feel like a young man.
Thinking of this, Li Tian smiled and said, "Yes, I have some research on it. As the saying goes, a pipa lasts a thousand years, a zither lasts ten thousand years, and an erhu lasts a lifetime!"
"Hmm! Your analogy is good. How about we give it a try?" The old man was very satisfied with Li Tian's analogy.
There's no such saying in Canglan, so Li Tian's analogy made the old man very happy.
Li Tianxin said, "I have another line to add: 'The play ends when the suona sounds.'"
However, looking at the age of these old men, Li Tian felt that he might get beaten up if he spoke up, so he gave up.
Li Tian approached the old man and said, "I didn't do a very good job with this, so please don't laugh at me later!"
"Haha, young man, all musical instruments are the same, you have to practice diligently. Here, play a little, and we'll give you some pointers!"
"That's right, come and give it a try! We old guys still have real skills! Guiding you will definitely be no problem! Don't worry, we won't charge you tuition! Haha..."
Li Tian didn't object to this statement; these old men were indeed quite capable.
Otherwise, Li Tian wouldn't have been attracted here.
And indeed, three of these elderly men are professors at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music.
The others were also erhu players who had practiced their entire lives.
The old man gave his seat to Li Tian and also handed him his erhu.
Li Tian didn't stand on ceremony, took the food, and sat down.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'll make a fool of myself then. Don't be scared by me in a moment!"
"Haha, don't worry, young man, no matter what kind of poop you have, we won't laugh at you!"
"That's right, there aren't many people who like these traditional instruments these days, it's rare to see someone who's interested!"
Li Tian smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright, I'll just play a random piece, 'Moon Reflected in the Second Spring,' and you gentlemen can give me some pointers later!"
Erquan Yingyue?
The old men looked at each other, none of them having ever heard of this piece of music.
However, before they could even speak, Li Tian had already pulled them up.
As the saying goes, an expert can tell a lot just by showing his skills.
From the moment Li Tian appeared, those old men knew that he was indeed quite capable.
Their skill level is not much worse than theirs.
But as Li Tian began playing, the expressions on the faces of these old men became quite interesting.
What kind of music is this?
Why does it sound so good?
And I've never heard of this before, so where did this young man learn it from?
Or was this piece composed by this kid?
That can't be!
How old is this kid!
Li Tian played the erhu while keeping an eye on the expressions of the old men.
He was quite pleased with himself, as "Erquan Yingyue" is a famous piece of music on Earth.
Hehe, you want to give me pointers? Sure!
It all depends on whether you're qualified!
Li Tian quickly finished playing and said to the old men, "I've made a fool of myself. I just started learning recently, so my technique is a bit lacking. Please give me some pointers!"
The elderly men felt extremely uncomfortable hearing Li Tian's words.
If you call this a lack of skill, then what do we call it?
Who the hell is this brat, showing off here?
These old men also lost their temper. "Young man, are you here to cause trouble?"
Just as tensions were about to rise, the old man who spoke first said, "Young man, let me ask you something. Where are you from? And who is your teacher?"
Li Tian smiled shyly and said, "My teacher's name was A Bing, but he passed away many years ago!"
Ah Bing?
The group looked at each other and shook their heads.
They had never heard of this name before, and the old man continued, "Then which university did you graduate from?"
"Grandpa, I didn't go to university. I didn't even graduate from junior high school before I started playing music!" Li Tian told the truth.
Hearing Li Tian's words, the group felt somewhat incredulous, as he hadn't even graduated from junior high school.
Are you kidding me?!
But judging from Li Tian's expression, he didn't seem to be lying.
"Young man, where did you hear this 'Moon Reflected in the Second Spring'?" the old man asked again.
