"The second song we're bringing you today is called 'Whispers'."
(Mutterings - Mao Buyi)
"Dedicated to those who feel lonely and lost on their life's journey."
Before the last note had faded, the prelude began.
The prelude wasn't long, but every note seemed to possess a magical power.
Like a gentle breeze caressing people's hearts.
This gradually calmed my restless heart.
They quickly entered a state of immersion.
The audience stared intently at Wen He, afraid of missing a single moment.
Under the eager gaze of countless eyes.
Wen He slightly parted her lips...
"One chapter hasn't even ended, and another chapter begins."
"If this screen had a switch."
"From expectation to despair."
"The ending wasn't good~~"
"People always need to remember regrets."
"It came, it's gone."
"I didn't look back, I didn't ask."
"Are you willing to do that?"
The content expressed in the first paragraph is very obscure.
But through Wen He's incredibly powerful singing, they felt the regrets of looking back on the past after experiencing the vicissitudes of life.
One phase hasn't ended, and another begins.
Isn't this the mindset that every young person possesses?
Before you've even woken up from one dream, you're already having another.
Before we even left school, when our minds were still immature, we always thought that tens of thousands of yuan was a small amount of money, and that a car worth hundreds of thousands of yuan was cheap.
I dream of buying a studio apartment, raising a cat or dog, setting up my own gaming room, and buying a car for transportation.
And so he spent his life alone.
Unmarried and childless, free and unrestrained.
However, faced with such fantasies...
In the end, what we got was a disappointment – the expectation turned into despair, and the ending was not pleasant.
Everyone was forced to walk down a path they hated.
In fact, making money is much harder than you imagine, but money always seems to disappear inexplicably.
I used to think that tens of thousands of yuan was a small amount of money, but I later realized that...
Many families live for decades, and all their savings amount to only tens of thousands of yuan.
A car costing around 100,000 yuan is already considered quite good for the average person, and it has nothing to do with the word "cheap".
I haven't made any money, and I don't even feel like taking care of my pet.
Esports gaming rooms, cars, and houses seem to stretch on forever.
When all the beautiful dreams gradually shatter before one's eyes.
Regret becomes the main theme of life.
"Time flies, and life is full of ups and downs."
"How many scenes are there in the passage of time?"
"Sometimes my heart warms up."
"Not saying anything~~"
"Better than tearing it apart with your own hands."
"The road ahead is long, and there are many dreams to pursue."
"I was deceived by those words."
"It's not just you and me~~"
The audience, upon hearing this, finally realized what was happening.
The lyrics were so obscure that they weren't entirely sure when they heard the first verse.
It wasn't until after listening to the second part, and combining it with what Wen He had said at the beginning, that I understood.
Even those who didn't understand suddenly realized what was going on.
[“Sometimes my heart warms up, but I say nothing”—that’s so true.]
[When people reach a certain age, they dare not take risks anymore. They have elderly parents to care for, young children to raise, and their health is riddled with ailments; there are many places where money is needed.]
Even if you see something you've always dreamed of, even if you can afford it, in the end you can only look at it a few more times before leaving with regret.
We have heavier responsibilities now, and we no longer live for ourselves alone. Let those so-called dreams go.
But in any case, it's certainly "better than tearing it apart with your own hands," at least having something to hold onto is still good.
…………
People always say things like, "Things will be better once you go to college," "Things will be better once you start working," "Things will be better after you get married," "Things will be better after you have children," "Things will be better when the children grow up," "Things will be better when you buy a house for your children," "Things will be better after your children have grandchildren," "Things will be better when your grandchildren…"
The road ahead is long, and dreams are many, but these are all lies to us.
Everyone is weaving the same lies in a tacit and collaborative way, perpetuating the deception from generation to generation.
I will make sure this vile lie is destroyed in my generation, and I will tell my children...
"Sometimes this world can make you feel terrible, and life can feel exhausting, but you can always rely on your parents. No matter what happens, we will always be your support."
I don't want to paint a picture of a perfect future for my child; I just want to tell him that his parents' love for him will always be there.
Beneath these obscure lyrics.
What it reveals is the life that ordinary people face.
Wen He's songs always manage to easily touch people's hearts.
His songs are piercingly poignant, precisely because almost everyone has gone through this experience.
He sings about ordinary people like everyone else.
Right now...
Driven by an increasingly grand accompaniment, the song gradually builds to its climax.
"But I still'm not very good at turning corners~"
"Although lonely people sometimes long for companionship~"
"When the cold wind blows again, I want to say..."
"Won't life be a little difficult?"
"Could it be because there was something left unsaid back then?"
"It's stuck in my throat, but I never dare to shout it out loud~"
"Never mind, don't cry..."
When that incredibly powerful singing voice reached my ears.
