November.

Rochester International Airport

"Bye, Sister Jingjing, see you next semester. ”

"Let's go, sister, when you return to China for the Chinese New Year, you will have the opportunity to come to Shashi to play with me, my mother wants to see you. "A lovely little girl.

Outside the airport, He Jing bid farewell to several alumni.

"Stay safe on the road. ”

They are all international students from China.

When He Jing first came to the Eastman School of Music, there was already a small piano circle in the school that belonged to Chinese students.

At first, she was reluctant to reach out to this circle, but in a research project, there was no way, she needed a few partners.

It happened that a girl in Shashi was also doing research on this topic, so the two of them got into a conversation.

After that, under the introduction of the other party, He Jing slowly integrated into this small circle.

Everyone is a piano performer, and she is the only one who is a piano education major.

This puzzled everyone, especially after they saw He Jing's performance at a lecture concert on piano pedagogy.

That one-department lecture concert almost became a solo concert for her.

Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 2, Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1, Rachmaninoff's Suite, and the great works of the classics always make people feel a surging sense of excitement when they flow from under her fingers.

No one thought that He Jing, who was usually taciturn, turned out to have such outstanding strength.

Everywhere, people with strength but no ambition are always more convincing.

Coupled with her age, everyone affectionately called her Sister Jing Jing after that.

Some enthusiastic children call her sister directly, which makes her think of Qin Jian from time to time.

Especially when everyone talks about the demon who won the championship in one fell swoop at this year's Mozart Music Competition, He Jing's thoughts will deepen by a point.

"Sister Jingjing, you are also from Nanshi, do you know that Qin Jianwa?"

For such questions, He Jing always smiled and never said anything.

Let everyone demonize Qin Jian, and she was silent.

It's just that once, someone said that he knew Qin Jian, and told everyone that Qin Jian never practiced the piano off the stage.

Originally, it was just an exaggerated expression of praise, but it was interrupted by He Jing.

"Take back your word, he is harder than any of you. ”

Seeing He Jing's angry appearance, no one dared to mention Qin Jian in front of her anymore.

For better or for worse.

As for her relationship with Qin Jian, it has become another gossip in everyone's private since then.

He Jing has attracted countless eyes from the opposite sex since she entered school, but she is like an insulator of the opposite sex, but she has always been silent, but she is angry with everyone for Qin Jian.

From this, some people deduce that she and Qin Jian may probably have 'that kind of relationship'.

At least it's definitely not just a simple friendship.

One genius is young and ambitious, and the other is mature and cold and silent.

Piece these two portraits together.

Human gossip has always had no lower limit.

However, He Jing never cared about the discussions behind them, she completed her plan little by little.

At the end of a semester, she was ahead of her course.

At the same time, she found a suitable job near her residence.

ICM Piano Training Institute, this is not a small piano training class, the cycle piano teaching method developed by ICM's chief steel teaching team has applied for international patents, and its global chain stores are flooded with the streets of major cities.

'Say goodbye to eight hours of piano practice a day'

Slogans like this naturally do not appear in Nanshi.

If he hadn't come to Eastman, he would never have imagined that the Chinese people's perception of piano practice had reached the verge of subverting tradition.

Her choice of piano education was also a kind of planning for her future.

Now that she has joined LCM, she is curious about what this 'cycle teaching method' is all about, and by the way, she can learn about the operation process of a large music training institution, and at the same time, she can get a good salary, which is a double benefit for her.

After sending a few people away and driving the company's car, He Jing returned to the company.

She still has two classes to finish today, a white child and a black child.

After finishing her work, she didn't leave immediately, but went to the supervisor's office.

"Hi, he, did your friends get to the airport safely?"

"Lisa, I'd like to take a week off. He Jing said.

The short-haired woman sitting behind the desk was still writing hastily, and did not look up: "Okay, you can fill out an application and give it to Judith later." ”

"I'm going to do it after Christmas. He Jing felt that she should explain some things in advance, "So I may not be able to attend the seminar in New York that you mentioned last time." ”

"No, no," Lisa put down her pen, her fleshy face looked like a chow chow, especially after she frowned, she looked up in confusion and asked, "Why? You know this is your chance"

Lisa shook her head, "What's the difficulty?" ”

He Jing said: "At the end of the year, there was a seminar on Rachmaninov's works at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory. ”

Lisa nodded, "I know that." ”

He Jing continued: "My mentor, Professor Dirlanger, will be representing the Eastman School of Music at this event, and his entourage list has my name on it, so. ”

Moment.

"It's terrible. ”

Lisa sighed lightly, "But even so, I hope you can seriously think about it again, the branch is very optimistic about you here, you understand this opportunity." ”

"I'll be cautious," He Jing nodded, "Thank you for the car, Lisa." ”

As he spoke, he put a car key on his desk and turned to leave.

Looking at He Jing's back, Lisa shook her head, she especially admired this Chinese girl, she was efficient and had strong work ability, but her personality was a little elusive.

"Hey. ”

Pick up the phone.

"Judith, I agreed to Ho's leave report. ”

"Okay, Director. ”

...

As we approach the end of the year, the world seems to be busy.

...

‘ifitain‘tbaroque，don’tfixit。 ’

The West uses the Baroque to refer to excessive decoration, and he is different from the cold Gothic, the proud and sacred Romanesque, and the light and sweet Rococo.

The Baroque is magnificent, incomparably intricate and imposing, and the profound interpreter of what 'beauty is useless.' ’

The tall buildings in front of you are permeated with the temperament of classical romanticism, and the history and culture and rhythm of hundreds of years are like nutrients in stagnant water.

Gilding Salzburg with a dazzling glow.

"There are 22 happy little angels sliding up and down on the staircase swing handrail. ”

This is the perfect display of the Baroque's anti-classical seriousness and formality, the pursuit of vividness and enthusiasm, and the strong emphasis on movement and change. ”

A tall young man in a cargo jacket seemed to be talking to himself.

Suddenly.

A tall figure covered his eyes from behind.

Leaned into his ear and whispered with joy.

"Guess what I bought?"
