Chapter 47 Years and Years 1
Chapter 47: A Thousand Years of Waiting
A teenager from Yunnan came to Shanghai alone to find his father.
When I arrived in Shanghai, everything I saw was different from what I saw in Yunnan.
There are tall buildings and wide and flat roads here.
You don't have to walk on bumpy dirt roads on rainy days.
Every Shanghainese has a smile on his face.
The boy fell in love with this place and decided to find his father and live with him in Shanghai.
But reality gave him a heavy blow.
……
Li Kang plans to write a long serial novel based on himself, which will be about 200,000 words.
The real background is the group of children abandoned in the countryside.
At that time, there were not many works that paid attention to this group.
It wasn't until the following year that a TV series came out and became an instant hit across the country, letting everyone in the country know that there were a group of such children.
He was abandoned by his parents who were sent to the countryside as educated youth when he was young.
Without a complete family, they suffered from bullying while growing up.
When they grow up, these children long for a complete family and the love of their father/mother.
So he embarked on a difficult and long journey to find his relatives.
After thinking about the plot for an hour, my mind was completely immersed in the novel world I had created.
The sound of Grandma Cai washing clothes, the chirping of cicadas outside, and the shouting of people playing games in the hall could not pull him out.
"The storyline has finally been set!" Li Kang is still very satisfied with this work.
No matter what, when you create a story based on yourself, you will feel a sense of accomplishment.
“As for whether it can be published?”
Li Kang still had some confidence as he had written novels in his previous life.
And his novels are also in line with the trend.
After scar literature became popular, a bunch of authors followed suit and began writing works on this subject.
If he doesn't follow the trend, he will fail.
Li Kang has a lot of material in his mind. He studies foreign languages, including English and American literature and Spanish literature.
It's not impossible to imitate a famous novel and write a book with mainland elements.
But tastes are different, so readers may not necessarily buy it.
The Oedipus complex, which is popular in the West, would be banned if it appeared in domestic works.
There is also the representative work of magical realism in Spanish literature, "Love in the Time of Cholera".
If some of the elements in the book were brought to China, readers would think the author was crazy.
You may not even be able to pass the editing stage.
When the conditions are right, he might write a book to let people of this era see mainlanders' own magical realism.
After finishing the outline, Li Kang stood up and stretched, only to find that Meixia had been sitting next to him, sleeping with her head supported by one hand.
The girl had only been in Shanghai for two days, but she seemed to have become whiter. Her wheat-colored skin had become lighter, and she looked like a breeze in the summer, light and free in the small suspender dress that Li Kang had chosen for her.
The hem of her skirt swayed gently in the wind, revealing a pair of beautiful ankles wearing crystal sandals.
From Li Kangge's perspective, he glanced down and accidentally saw the hidden Jade Rabbit.
"Why are you sleeping here?" Li Kang bent down and leaned close to Meixia, hooking her legs with one hand and supporting Meixia's back with the other hand.
Like a princess, I was ready to carry her to bed.
This movement woke Meixia up, "Brother Kang." The girl moaned.
"Don't sleep here. I'll take you to bed."
It was the first time that Meixia was hugged by her beloved brother Kang. She felt a little shy and twisted her body half a circle and buried herself in Li Kang's arms.
"Brother Kang, I'm not sleepy yet."
Li Kangdu had already carried Lin Meixia to the outer hall. Two old men, Liu Jun and his wife, Liu Lang and Zhang Yiming, were sitting in front of the TV, which was playing "The Legend of the New White Snake".
"Brother Kang, have you finished writing?"
"Let's watch TV together."
"Why is Meixia sleeping on Li Kang?"
When Lin Meixia heard that she was discovered, she jumped off Li Kang like a rabbit, lowered her head, blushed, and dared not speak.
"Meixia fell asleep while sitting next to me just now, and I was going to carry her to bed."
"Brother Kang, I'm not sleepy anymore. I want to watch TV, too."
"What are you looking at?"
Chen Lijuan pulled Meixia to her side, and Liu Lang took the initiative to make room for her, "Brother Kang, come and see too."
"No need, you are watching The Legend of White Snake, right?" Li Kang knew what they were watching at a glance.
This TV series was introduced from Taiwan in 92 and has been popular in mainland China for more than ten years.
Every summer, it is broadcast on CCTV-1.
It is also possible that it happened more than once.
Every time it was broadcast, the whole family would squat in front of the TV and never get tired of watching it even after watching it several times.
It is invincible and there is no other TV series more popular than this.
Almost everyone born in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s has watched it.
"Brother Kang, have you seen it?
"Of course, not only have I seen it, I can even sing its songs. Do you want me to sing one for you?"
Of course, the seven audience members all agreed.
Hum~, hum~
Li Kang cleared his throat.
"Come, have some tea first." Grandma Cai took the initiative to hand them the teacups that she had just bought.
Suddenly I was treated like a big star.
Liu Lang consciously turned down the volume of the TV.
The only light in the room was from the TV, and the air became quiet.
Everyone is waiting for Li Kang's "A Thousand Years of Waiting"
When Li Kang was in college, he also participated in a campus singing competition.
Although not the first, it is also the second.
There was nothing I could do, the first one was too handsome and his singing skills were no worse than his. In the end, I lost to him by a little bit in the popularity vote.
But it is enough to show that his singing skills and voice are actually not bad.
"A thousand years of waiting, one time, one time, ah
I have waited a thousand years~ I have no regrets
Who is in my ear, saying that my love for me will never change
Just for this sentence, ah, I am heartbroken and I have no complaints
The rain is heart-breaking ~ the wind is shedding tears ~ the dream is lingering ~ the love is far away
The Water of West Lake ~ My Tears
I would like to turn you into a flame."
……
Although Li Kang is a man, he sang out the lingering love in the song.
The song expresses Bai Suzhen's persistent love.
Even though it was a cappella without accompaniment, the effect was surprisingly good.
A narrow room naturally has stereo surround 3D sound effects.
When the song ended, the seven audience members burst into applause at the same time.
"You sang really well." Grandma Cai and Liu Guangqing praised sincerely. "How can you not get a reward if you sing so well?"
The two old men were so happy that they gave him a red envelope, another two hundred yuan.
If it were someone else, Chen Lijuan might have been resentful, because the money of the two old people would be their money from now on.
But she was actually very happy that the person she gave it to was Li Kang.
I also took out a red envelope of 100 yuan.
"You sang really well. Maybe Li Kang will become a big star from our alley in the future."
"Yes, Li Kang can try to participate in the audition." Liu Jun's words became more and more outrageous.
Li Kang had no intention of displaying his talent in this area.
Singing is just a simple hobby. If you sing well, you will have priority in choosing a mate in school.
Please follow my new book. The data is too bad. If it can’t make it to the third round, it may have to be put on the shelves in advance. I beg you to read the latest chapter. Those who have been reading the book may lose it in the process.
