The two danced beautifully, and the beautiful cheongsams highlighted their slender figures. Coupled with the dim lighting, the two had an unreal beauty.
After the two finished their dance, there was thunderous applause from the audience. They looked very proud and felt that this performance must be the most exciting one of the whole evening.
Cheng Maixiang turned to Lin Chengyi and said, "Director Lu, the next program will be Cheng Cheng's performance."
The stage suddenly became dark and all the lights went out. It was already dark at this time, and now the stage was even darker.
A beautiful melody sounded, and in the sound of beautiful music, the slide projector suddenly lit up. A white curtain was hung on the stage at some point, and the light shone on the curtain.
"Where is Cheng Cheng? Why can't I see her?" Lu Chengyi asked Cheng Maixiang curiously.
In fact, this was the feeling of almost all the audience in the audience. This was the first time the lights were on and the performers could not be seen. Instead, they saw something like a plate of sand on the screen.
Suddenly, a hand appeared on the screen, and after a few casual strokes, a scene appeared on the sand table. A stream leaned against the mountains, winding into the distance. The trees beside the stream were lush, like a small village in the countryside.
After a while, the hand reappeared, and with a gentle wipe, the sand table returned to its original state. The slender fingers moved a few more times, and two people suddenly appeared on the sand table, obviously a boy and a girl, who were studying hard at school.
The audience had never seen a sand painting performance before and were stunned by the fast and vivid painting style. Suddenly, someone started clapping and the applause echoed throughout the playground.
Lu Chengyi suddenly came to his senses and said in a trembling voice, "That hand, that hand is, is..."
"That's right, Director Lu, that's Cheng Cheng's hand. She said she was drawing stories about her parents when they were young."
In fact, he could tell without Cheng Maixiang's reminder that the stream was Huihuan Creek in his hometown, and the man and woman were him and his ex-wife. Although the two figures were blurry and he couldn't even recognize their faces, he just had this strong feeling.
At this moment, the painting on the sand table has reached the scene where he enters the city. There are bungalows and high-rise buildings, as well as wide roads and tall buses. He walks into the government compound carrying a briefcase.
The applause became more and more enthusiastic and frequent. Just as Cheng Maixiang expected, this program became the highlight of the entire program and was truly the finale.
Soon after, the woman also came into the city, and the two got married in a simple house. The neighbors came to congratulate them, the atmosphere was lively and interesting, and the couple was happy.
Not long after, their child was born, and the man became even busier. The woman took care of the entire family, running around inside and outside, and had no time to rest all day long.
Not long after, the woman died. The man stood in front of a grave holding his child, who was a few years old, and shed tears silently. The whole scene was gloomy and depressing, especially the child who was still learning to speak, which made people feel even more heartbroken.
Everyone in the audience couldn't help but feel sad. Even Lin Qingwan couldn't help but think of what she had experienced over the years. She felt the same way and shed tears silently. Wei Lingcheng held her hand tightly.
Finally, there is a happy picture. The little girl has grown up and is walking on the streets of the city with her old father. The girl seems to be laughing, and the father is quietly looking at the child's back. The scene of the two of them studying and growing up together appears in his mind.
The music suddenly stopped, and the painting was instantly wiped out, leaving only the original grains of yellow sand. The slide projector suddenly went out, the lights on the stage lit up, and Lu Chengcheng's thin body appeared on the stage.
The audience suddenly cheered, and the thunderous applause lasted for a long time. Lu Chengcheng kept bowing to thank the audience, but the audience's spontaneous enthusiasm made it impossible for her to leave the stage.
The host quickly came on stage and said to Lu Chengcheng with a smile, "Look, our audience is so enthusiastic. Do you want to say a few words to them?"
Lu Chengcheng looked at the host awkwardly and said frankly, "I can only draw, not speak."
The audience roared with laughter. Everyone was touched by Lu Chengcheng's sincerity and cuteness. Even the host couldn't stop laughing. "Okay, since Lu Chengcheng can't speak, let's not embarrass her. She's given us such a wonderful performance today. Let's send her off the stage with warm applause!"
The applause rang out again, and the host raised his hand several times to signal that the applause would stop.
When Lu Chengcheng was on the stage, she saw Cheng Maixiang gesturing to her. She also saw Lu Chengyi watching intently from the audience. As soon as she got off the stage, she went straight to the northwest corner.
After Lu Chengcheng came over, he greeted Wei Lingcheng's family first. Wei Lingcheng smiled and said, "Old Lu, you have raised a good daughter who is so talented. This show is really unique. I have lived for so many years, but this is the first time I have seen it."
Lu Chengcheng said honestly, "Maizi helped me come up with this program. I couldn't have come up with it on my own."
Cheng Maixiang couldn't help but frown.
This child is too honest.
Wei Lingcheng was stunned and laughed out loud, "Old Lu, this kid of yours is quite similar to you. He always speaks directly."
Lu Chengyi smiled, took Lu Chengcheng's hand, smiled with tears in his eyes, and gently touched her head.
Cheng Maixiang's prediction was correct. People of this era had never seen a performance form like sand painting. Lu Chengshi's performance opened everyone's eyes, and the effect was earth-shattering.
People at the provincial university were all asking about Lu Chengcheng and learned that she was a student in the Chinese Department. In the past few days, countless people came to see her in person under various pretexts, and some boys even secretly slipped her love letters.
What's even more exaggerated is that because of this sand painting performance, students have become more and more fond of her cartoons in the school newspaper, and have asked her to add a few more pictures in each issue to meet their viewing needs. The school newspaper is naturally happy to expand its influence among students, so it complied with the students' request and issued a notice to her to add more pictures.
The reporter from the provincial capital's daily newspaper invited by Ruan Peiling was naturally no exception and was shocked by the unpredictable sand painting performance. He used an entire page to report on the welcome party of the provincial capital university, and even praised the sand painting performance highly. Several of the accompanying pictures were of Lu Chengcheng's sand paintings.
"That's not all, Cheng Cheng, Xiao Zheng also asked me to tell you that she wants to arrange an interview for you. Let's see when you are free to accept her interview."
At noon, there were only Cheng Maixiang, Ruan Peiling and Lu Chengcheng in the classroom. Cheng Maixiang was busy writing something, while Lu Chengcheng took advantage of the time after lunch to draw cartoons for the school newspaper. Only Ruan Peiling was doing nothing, lying on the table in a very ungraceful manner, chatting with the two of them in a disjointed manner.
