Rural teenagers hear singing, and their musical dreams sprout in their hearts
On a summer afternoon, the cicadas chirp deafeningly, and 14-year-old Liao Changyong lies in front of an old radio, his eyes fixed intently on the long antenna. The melody of "My Sun" flows like a clear spring, and the teenager gently sings along, and the long-hidden musical cells quietly awaken at this moment.
The radio became his new favorite, and he deliberately took a long detour after school every day just to listen to the latest songs at the town's electrical store. That's a couple of hours.
Mother unconditionally supported apprenticeship and sang step by step
"Mom, I want to learn to sing. Changyong hugged his mother and plucked up the courage to speak his mind. The middle-aged woman without makeup was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled warmly and stroked her son's hair: "Good boy, mom fully supports you!" Affirmed by his mother, the boy's eyes lit up, and he immediately found the head teacher and begged to recommend the teacher.
The head teacher learned that the teenager was sincere and happily introduced Mr. Zhou Weimin. Since then, Changyong began to follow this senior teacher of the Sichuan Song and Dance Theater, practicing basic skills hard and laying a solid foundation.
Even if the distance is far away, the boy has no complaints, just asks the teacher to teach more singing tips and skills, he understands them one by one, and Xi practices them diligently.
The barefoot boy was in tears
When the scorching sun was in the sky, Changyong came to the train station with all his belongings, but he was greeted by a pouring rain. In a hurry, he only remembered to protect the new shoes on his body, which his mother had bought with frugality.
So the boy took off his shoes, carried them in his hands, stepped on the cold and slippery concrete floor, and staggered to find the gate of the conservatory. On campus, the freshmen gathered around and chatted about their hometown and dreams.
Chang Yong was alone in the shade of a tree and wept silently, and he preferred that everyone would not pay attention to his muddy feet and shabby clothes.
After the orientation party, Chang Yong hobbled back to the dormitory, not noticing the worried and sympathetic eyes of his classmates behind him. When he took off his wet clothes, he still couldn't stop his tears.
Over the years, my sister dropped out of school to work for him to study, and his mother worked day and night to make up for his tuition, and his hard work in exchange for his undignified schooling.
The dual pressure of poor life and Xi
In the first semester of admission, Changyong's grades were at the bottom, which made him even more embarrassed by his already low self-esteem. For no other reason, he doesn't know the basics of music, and he can't afford to practice the piano, not to mention that the living expenses are only 60 yuan.
All the classmates came from a very wealthy family, and his clothes were shabby, his shoes were wet, and he didn't dare to eat casually. The classmates talked about dressing up and shopping, and Changyong could only leave silently.
He began to miss his family, the steamed buns and pickles his mother made, which became a luxury.
Even though life is so difficult, Changyong is even more afraid that he will not be able to study well and Xi and disappoint his family. So he began to study music theory tirelessly, and even stayed up all night to Xi it; During the day, he earns money in various part-time jobs and barely makes ends meet.
This high-pressure Xi and work pattern left him physically and mentally exhausted, and he was exhausted every day.
Wang Jia reached out to help, and the two got married
When Chang Yong was anxiously calculating the expenses for the month, a letter fell into view. The envelope was 50 yuan, and it was accompanied by a note saying "Eat better".
In this situation, Changyong actually cried bitterly, it turned out that the money came from Wang Jia, the girl who had a crush on him. Wang Jia's parents are prominent, but they have no prejudice against this poor boy, but love him very much.
Especially after knowing that Changyong's family was in a tight situation, Wang Jia's mother often visited him with condolences.
The love came too suddenly, and Changyong was a little overwhelmed. But Wang Jia's sincerity and thoughtfulness gradually moved him, and the relationship between the two became much more harmonious. In the end, Chang Yong plucked up the courage to confess, and Wang Jia happily agreed to be his girlfriend.
Wang Jia not only supported Changyong financially, but also gave him a lot of encouragement on the road of music, becoming Changyong's strongest backing. After graduation, the two naturally entered the palace of marriage.
Liao Changyong was born in an ordinary rural family in Sichuan, and his family was not wealthy. His father died of illness when he was very young, and his mother was left alone to raise him and his three older sisters.
Despite this, the mother still has infinite expectations and high hopes for her son. In the traditional countryside of that era, everyone wanted a son to continue the incense, and the mother was no exception.
Every time I hugged Liao Changyong and looked at his innocent and lovely smiling face, my mother's eyes were full of love and pride. She knows that she can't do it enough to provide her son with too many material conditions, so she just wants her children to study and become talents, and change the fate of this family when they grow up.
Thinking of this, my mother couldn't help but redden, and a hot tear slipped from the corner of her eye.
However, real life is a hundred times more difficult than she imagined. The early death of his father was a heavy blow to the family of four, and his mother shouldered the responsibility of the whole family's livelihood.
She farms in the village during the day and goes to the town at night to socialize and earn money. She was exhausted from such a tiring life, and her health deteriorated, but she never gave up her expectations for her son.
Despite the scarcity of life, she will still try to take a part of her meager income and buy some gadgets or snacks for Liao Changyong, but the happiness caused to him is extremely huge.
The mother is convinced that one day in the future, when she is old and unable to do anything, her son will grow up and become a talent, repay her nurturing kindness, and care for her old age. Such expectations and desires turned into wings, allowing my mother to continue to move forward on the long road of life.
Due to the poor family background, her mother had to work during the day to make money, and she couldn't take care of Liao Changyong and her three sisters all day. Fortunately, the second sister has taken on the responsibility of taking care of this younger brother since she was a child.
She is relatively older, 7 years older than her brother, and she is more familiar with many things in life. Every morning, it was the second sister who personally woke up Liao Changyong, who was still asleep, and then lightly helped him get dressed, and brought him a light breakfast to feed him.
After eating, the second sister took her younger brother to the yard to play together, and sometimes she taught him to read and write, and the pictures in the picture book were brightly colored, which deeply attracted Liao Changyong's attention.
The bustling cityscapes in the painting were so strange and new to him.
As time passed, Liao Changyong gradually grew up and reached the age of going to school. The second sister understood the importance of education, and she began to send her younger brother to a primary school in the countryside, and also used part of her savings to pay for his tuition.
Every day after school, she always waited for her younger brother at the school gate early, for fear that he would be bullied. Liao Changyong was not very comfortable with group life at first, and his eyes were red after returning home a few times, and he refused to say why.
The second sister knew in her heart that he must have encountered something unhappy, so she could only coax him softly and tell him some interesting stories to divert his attention. Gradually, Liao Changyong's mood also improved, he adapted to the new environment, and made several good playmates.
When she graduated from junior high school, the second sister realized that the local educational resources were limited and could not provide Liao Changyong with better development opportunities. Therefore, after several family discussions, everyone decided to send Liao Changyong, who was in high school, to the third sister's house and stay in the county seat over there.
During this period, the third sister will bear all his living expenses. When parting, seeing the younger brother dragging the small box alone and drifting away, the second sister's heart hurt like a knife. She understands that this is all for Liao Changyong's better development in the future, but the separation is sad after all.
In the years that followed, she would write letters to contact her brother from time to time, and also send some of her favorite snacks as a child, hoping that he would adapt to his new life as soon as possible.
That year, Liao Changyong was 14 years old, in adolescence, and his body and mind were growing rapidly. One day, on his way home from school, he accidentally passed by a small square and heard a stirring music coming from a large speaker in the center of the square.
This is the first time he has heard the song "My Sun", the melody is catchy, the lyrics are full of affection, and it instantly touches the young heart.
Liao Changyong was amazed that music could be so beautiful and moving! He couldn't help but go into the crowd and listen to the whole song quietly. The music brought him a new shock and emotion.
Since that day, Liao Changyong seems to have discovered another world in his life, and he will deliberately detour past that square almost every day after school, lest he miss any good songs.
The big speaker in the square has become his bosom friend, sharing touching stories with him. Gradually, he developed the idea that he also wanted to sing, and even surpassed the average student with excellent academic Xi results, and wanted to embark on the road of music.
When he told his mother about the idea, she was overjoyed. Despite living in poverty, the mother fully supported her son's decision and sincerely hoped that he could achieve greater success in the world of music.
It is also this expectation that has made Liao Changyong's singer famous and legendary in the future.
