"So today I would like to dedicate this new song, 'As You Wish,' to Grandpa Mo."
"And we pay tribute to the older generation, like Grandpa He Mo, who made outstanding contributions to the nation and the country!"
I have learned about Mr. Mo Zhongqing's military career of fighting for the country.
Wang Yueheng stood on the stage and spoke from the bottom of his heart.
This song, titled "As You Wish," is a tribute to our parents' generation.
This is perfect for today's occasion.
"The song title 'As You Wish' is interesting."
"I thought it was some kind of birthday song..."
"Paying tribute to the older generation is a good idea; it's a step above simply wishing someone a happy birthday."...
Upon hearing the song title mentioned by Wang Yueheng, several elders of the Mo family began to discuss it.
Mo Weijiang quietly sipped his tea without making any comments.
After all, this young man had just publicly declared that he would pursue Mo Zixue.
He was still finding it hard to accept the shock of his beloved daughter being taken away by outsiders, pot and all.
"Well said, looking forward to Yue Heng's performance!"
Mo Zixue's mother, Ying Wanlin, clapped excitedly and cheered for Wang Yueheng.
Mo Weijiang, who never smiled, turned his head and glared at his wife who was siding with outsiders, then sighed helplessly.
Take one last look at my daughter, Mo Zixue.
She stared intently at the boy on stage, just like a fan of her idol.
Despite his successful career, Mo Weijiang had never seen his daughter look at him with such admiration.
A sense of loss suddenly welled up inside me.
Amidst the expectant or amused gazes of the crowd below the stage.
On a makeshift stage.
After a brief silence, the sound of a piano solo began to play.
The music is accompanied by vintage trombone music.
A unique and melodious prelude.
This indicates that this song is different from traditional pop music.
As a professional musician, Nie Moli nodded slightly the moment the music began.
The intro and documentary style are quite fitting.
At least it's not the kind of flashy, technically-driven soundtrack.
"You are the long road ahead"
"A light in the thick fog of the mountains"
"I am a child walking in your eyes..."
On the stage covered with a red carpet.
Wang Yueheng's gentle voice instantly swept over everyone's ears like a refreshing breeze.
The gently swaying branches of the pomegranate tree create a dreamlike atmosphere.
As soon as the song began.
The elders who were chatting in the audience gradually quieted down.
They rarely listen to pop songs, so this was a rare occasion for them to listen to music so attentively.
You are the bright moon and gentle breeze.
"I am the dream you cherish."
"Whether we meet or not, I will embrace you for a lifetime..."
Accompanied by Wang Yueheng's lyrical performance.
The melodious singing seemed to blend with the rich aroma of wine in the air.
It stimulates the sensory nerves of people at the scene simultaneously through taste and hearing.
Several elders couldn't help but close their eyes and shake their heads slightly.
Just like when I was listening to the opera, I was immersed in Wang Yueheng's clear and pleasant singing voice.
Although it is pop music.
But it doesn't sound like those popular pop songs that have a sense of personal restlessness.
This song has a certain charm!
"And I will love the world you love."
May you have the smile you desire.
I'm holding your hand, albeit unsteadily.
"Please take me to tomorrow..."
"Wow, if I hadn't seen him sing with my own eyes, I would have thought it was the original recording..."
"His live singing skills are truly impressive; no wonder he became famous so quickly."
"The lyrics are pretty good too. Is this really a newly written song?"
Several younger people stared at Wang Yueheng singing on stage and couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
Cen Guangjie, a special forces soldier who was drunk, was slumped over the back of a chair.
He stared blankly at Wang Yueheng singing on the stage.
A series of huge question marks floated through my mind.
I wonder if I've had too much to drink, or if I have a hearing problem.
Is this vocal quality really something Wang Yueheng could achieve live?
Before joining the army, he often attended concerts by top singers in Beijing.
No singer has ever given him such a captivating and enchanting voice as he did today.
And as he listened to the song, he suddenly had a feeling of watching a movie.
Images from my childhood to adulthood flashed before my eyes one after another.
The time spent with my parents, in particular, kept flashing through my mind.
Gradually.
Cen Guangjie, whose breath reeked of alcohol, suddenly had tears welling up in his eyes.
If you've ever tasted bitterness, then my sweetness has been more precious.
I wish to live out your wish.
"May our efforts not be in vain, may we forge ahead bravely!"
"This prosperous era continues every day..."
Accompanied by simple background music.
Wang Yueheng's clear and sincere singing voice, full of emotion, suddenly resounded throughout the courtyard.
The melody is gentle, yet full of power.
Even on the street outside the courtyard.
Everyone heard his melodious singing.
Mo Zhongqing, the birthday celebrant, dressed in a Tang suit and sitting on a maroon wooden chair, trembled slightly as he poured the tea.
A few drops of tea spilled onto the blue stone bricks.
Mo Zhongqing, who is over eighty years old, suddenly thought of his parents while listening to the song.
Wearing a robe from the old era.
Holding his tiny, delicate hand, we walked through the bustling, noisy market.
Under the earnest guidance of his parents.
The toddlers who were still unsteady on their feet back then.
They gradually grew into adults.
In order to seek the society they longed for, they resolutely raised the banner of resistance.
Now, he has retired after achieving great success.
In his eighties.
I finally saw this life that I never dared to imagine in my dreams as a child…
I have witnessed this prosperous and fulfilling era!
The distinguished old man put down his teacup and slowly leaned back in his old chair.
In his aged eyes.
It shines with a luster without you even noticing.
Scenes that used to only appear in dreams.
It was as if I was stirred by Wang Yueheng's singing.
All of these thoughts flooded into Old Master Mo's mind.
It suddenly made him feel those genuine feelings from the past again.
The innocent and carefree time of childhood spent enjoying the love and care of my parents.
The passion of youth to sacrifice one's life for one's country and family.
The years in my middle age when I worked tirelessly through the night for the development of the motherland and the construction of the army.
In his later years, he tirelessly worried about the development of the next generation...
Mo Zhongqing has not listened to pop songs much for decades.
This is the first time I've felt so deeply moved by a song.
Even Mo Weijiang, who always had a stern face and never smiled.
It's as if the song unexpectedly opened a tightly closed door to my emotions.
Having weathered many storms in the business world, he has always maintained a calm and composed mind.
The song suddenly stirred something deep within me.
My nose suddenly felt sore.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at his elderly father.
That old man who dared to fight and was renowned for his meritorious service.
A tear had inexplicably welled up in her usually sharp eyes...
