It's not just Xie Minghui.
Other instructors who had been stationed on the frontier.
In an instant, Wang Yueheng's calm yet poignant song brought me back to my military career patrolling the border.
The raging wind and snow, once again, swept across the scene, accompanied by the song...
"Do you remember the promise you made to me?"
"I won't let you get lost."
"But you flew so far with those migratory birds flying south..."
Suddenly.
The songs sung amidst the snow-covered mountains suddenly became even louder and more melancholic.
The poignant singing voice was like a heart-wrenching yet utterly desolate cry.
"I……"
Sitting at the dining table, Zhang Hongtao, who had just experienced the pain of losing his beloved girlfriend, was deeply saddened.
Upon hearing this sudden burst of singing, I was stunned and stood there frozen in place.
The cigarette butt, which was between his fingers, fell to the ground without him noticing, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
He suddenly remembered the scene when he returned in his military uniform, his girlfriend nestled in his arms, repeatedly saying she wanted to marry him.
And that sweet and happy scene didn't last long.
He lost his young life in a drunk driver's reckless attack while trying to save his student's girlfriend.
Like a migratory bird that flies south and never looks back, it disappears forever from one's life.
The promise of yesteryear.
It too turned into ashes along with the smoke and fire that filled the sky, a fulfillment that could never be fulfilled.
This song.
It's practically a perfect replica of my own tragic love story.
As Zhang Hongtao recalled his extremely painful experience, he began to tremble uncontrollably.
"I am eagerly awaiting the warm spring atop the snow-capped mountains."
"Waiting for the lone goose to return after the snow and ice on the plateau melt..."
The powerful, melancholic singing continued.
Different people will have different first impressions after hearing this song.
On the playground at night.
Instructor Xie Minghui also recalled the beautiful scenes from his past relationship with his girlfriend.
However, unlike Zhang Hongtao, who lost his lover in an accident.
He was betrayed by his beloved girlfriend and cruelly abandoned, leaving him alone.
Even if she begs and pleads, hoping to salvage this relationship that she can't bear to give up.
In the end, his girlfriend never returned.
The one you love is like a kite with a broken string, flying further and further away.
Until it disappeared from the vast, snow-covered horizon...
Accompanied by Wang Yueheng's poignant singing that resonated throughout the entire Zijing Playground.
Some students standing around spontaneously raised their phones.
Turn on the flashlight and use it as a glow stick, waving it gently in the night.
The lights, twinkling like stars, shimmered all around, echoing the brilliant starry sky above.
The hundreds of people holding up their cell phones created a sea of lights, enveloping Wang Yueheng, who was sitting on the playground singing and playing music, in a starlight-like atmosphere.
Witnessing the scene before my eyes.
As Wang Yueheng sat on the stool and sang, it was as if he had been transported back to the street night market square where he had sung.
Back then, I was still a little timid and naive, and I was surrounded by those dazzling flashes of light.
It's just that the scene is different from the one described in the song.
From then on, Wang Yueheng did not lose love, but instead began a special and extraordinary adventure...
"So beautiful!"
"It's just like a concert!"
Wang Yueheng was gazing at the center of the playground, surrounded by a sea of flashing lights like stars.
Chen Guoguo, the vice president of the music club, looked bewildered and stared straight in Wang Yueheng's direction as she sighed.
At this moment, the singer, whose face was full of sadness and helplessness, had a charming and handsome expression on his face.
As a music enthusiast, Chen Guoguo has traveled all over the country and watched concerts by many big stars.
But this is different from Wang Yueheng's sudden burst of enthusiasm, singing in camouflage under the lights spontaneously raised by passersby.
The kind of emotional impact it has is an effect that even a professional stage cannot achieve.
Every note in the song is like a cry from the soul.
Even people who have never been in love seem to be able to feel the heart-wrenching pain of separation through his songs.
"This is the real God of Song!"
"No wonder the president of Guyan Publishing House has been so supportive of his promotion."
"If I had heard him sing live earlier, I probably would have become a complete fan by now..."
Zhang Qin, the president of the literary society, dressed in flowing Hanfu, was also captivated by the song and said thoughtfully.
Listening to Wang Yueheng's live performance felt like being immersed in a dream.
I witnessed firsthand those heartbreaking yet helpless love stories that I couldn't bear to look back on.
...
"It stretches as far as the eye can see"
"The wind cuts my face like a knife..."
As another melody began to play.
The instructors standing near Wang Yueheng were all in a daze.
Even those of them who have never experienced the loss of love.
At this moment, one can almost deeply empathize with Xie Minghui's feelings after being dumped by his girlfriend.
When Tong Hua, the counselor who had arrived again, looked at Wang Yueheng singing in the crowd on the playground from afar, her face was also full of surprise.
It's only been two or three hours since the afternoon military training ended.
How come this new singer has suddenly produced such beautiful works?
Unfortunately, even she can't squeeze through the crowd to get onto the playground now.
There were just too many people around, and I was completely absorbed in listening to the music.
They will never make way for you, not even the instructor of the military training class!
"Do you remember the promise you made to me?"
"I won't let you get lost."
"But you flew so far with the migratory birds heading south."
Love is like a kite with a broken string.
"I couldn't hold back the promise you made..."
In the hazy, sea-like lights of the playground, Wang Yueheng's shouts once again reached the chorus.
This emotionally charged singing was like a surging wave in a sea of stars.
It instantly engulfed everyone, washing over the hearts of everyone who had had similar emotional experiences.
"I...I miss her so much..."
"We promised to be together forever, why did you just leave me like this, sob sob..."
Sitting in the restaurant, Zhang Hongtao, who had been staring at the video screen, finally couldn't hold back any longer.
Clutching her chest, she slumped weakly into the chair, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed uncontrollably.
The happy and sweet moments I shared with my girlfriend back then kept swirling in my mind as the song played.
The image shows the other person being in a car accident and appearing at the funeral home, forever separated from him.
It was more like a merciless blade, stabbing him in the heart again and again.
It made him feel uncomfortable and suffocated, unable to breathe.
He thought he had emerged from the shadows of the past until he heard Wang Yueheng's song.
Only then did I realize that I would never be able to escape the quagmire of losing my loved one.
At this moment, Wang Yueheng's singing was like a heavy hammer, easily shattering Zhang Hongtao's fragile, glass-like heart.
This caused him to burst into tears at the dinner table, ignoring everyone's stares.
Those colleagues who didn't know what was going on looked at Zhang Hongtao, who was sobbing and almost unable to breathe, with surprise on their faces.
"well……"
The friend sitting next to Zhang Hongtao, who knew about his experiences, could only gently pat his trembling shoulder.
After letting out a soft sigh, she didn't even know how to offer words of comfort.
Even Xu Chenfeng, who was standing on the playground, was filming Wang Yueheng's performance with his phone.
I was also moved by the sight of my former comrade crying on camera, and tears instantly streamed down my face.
