If you haven't heard the school song of Dongyuan University, you will never think that this is a school song when you listen to the first sentence.

Dongyuan University is a university with a history of 100 years, and its school song is called "The Ballad of Dongshan", which was born in that era of fire.

Under the war, the teachers and students of Dongyuan University moved several times, in order to escape the war, and passed the torch from generation to generation.

But there are also countless teachers and students of Dongyuan University, who have protected the school, their classmates, and their culture and roots with their chest and blood.

The full text of its lyrics is as follows:

In the east of the high mountains, artillery fire burns the plains.

The nation is in danger and the country is in trouble,

Parents are poor and the brother is hungry and cold,

The burden is on my shoulders,

The responsibility is on my shoulders.

Dear classmates, if I leave.

Wait for the spring rain to knock on the cold window,

The young man's dreams are not greedy,

Reading is current,

Reading is the right moment.

There was a girl standing by the lake.

She's my sweetheart,

I haven't held hands yet.

Forgive me for not paying it back,

Forgive me for not paying it back.

The tone of "The Ballad of Dongshan" is painful and slow, and in the following decades, it has been suggested many times that the song should be replaced or the words changed, but they have all been rejected by old alumni.

Because of "The Ballad of Dongshan", sang the hearts of countless ancestors, in that era, all the way, all the way to blood and tears, all the way to sing, all the way to the prairie fire!

This history is the first lesson that every new student has to learn after entering the school.

At this moment, when Gu Xiaobai sang the first sentence with his high-pitched and loud voice with extraordinarily rich high-frequency overtones, everyone seemed to see the scene of a hundred years ago.

In the east of the high mountains, this place with beautiful mountains and rivers, when it was ignited by the artillery fire of the sky.

Gu Xiaobai's voice swayed in the air like a flame, hovering high in the sky.

The second sentence: "The nation is in danger, the country is in trouble, the parents are in poverty, and the younger brother is hungry and cold......"

The starting tone is high-pitched, but in the next two sentences, the tune is two consecutive downward modulos, falling by a fifth, and the high-pitched mood instantly becomes sad and angry again.

At this moment, the students in the cafeteria have involuntarily joined in.

The boy used two octaves lower, and the girl used an octave lower, repeating the lyrics.

"The country is in trouble...... The country is in trouble...... Brother Hunger and Cold...... Brother Hunger and Cold......"

Because when they joined, it was a bit uneven, and many people sang half a line, and then they found their own voices, like canons, forming a repeating counterpoint imitation of each other, and it was endless, one after another.

The rich male voice, the deep female voice, and Gu Xiaobai's high-pitched voice, the three voices shook the entire hall.

The hall of the third canteen was high and empty, and the crowd was scattered in it, and the sound was scattered on the ceiling and absorbed by the debris on the ground, creating a peculiar acoustic effect, like the ancients performing rituals in the empty caves and the faithful singing hymns in the cathedral.

At this time, there is no need for any accompaniment, because the vocals and echoes are their own accompaniment.

In the repeated "national disaster" and "brother hunger and cold", Gu Xiaobai's voice became firm again, steady and firm, without going up or down, this third sentence, the tune is as smooth as speaking.

"The responsibility is on my shoulders. ”

Male and female voices repeat: "...... on my shoulder"

"The heavy responsibility is on my shoulders!"

Fourth sentence.

The same lyrics were repeated twice, and this time the tune was an upward free model, and the tone instantly became impassioned and firm.

Male and female voices repeat: "On my shoulder!

This is the first paragraph of the school song of Dongyuan University.

"In the east of the high mountains, the artillery fire is burning the plains.

The nation is in danger and the country is in trouble,

Parents are poor and the brother is hungry and cold,

The burden is on my shoulders,

The responsibility is on my shoulders. ”

It's just a simple single lyric, but it has hit the heart of almost every student at Dongyuan University.

At that critical moment, what kind of heart did the ancestors of Dongyuan University sing such lyrics?

At the door, Dean Wu felt that the teacher's hand was shaking, and when he turned his face, he saw that there were already faint tears on Professor Chen's face.

"Teacher, let's sit down, sit down. Dean Wu hurriedly helped him and sat down at the table by the door.

Everyone else also found a place to sit down and looked at Gu Xiaobai who was standing in the middle.

He stood there, his whole body seemed to glow, and he held his head high, as if he was fighting unyielding against fate.

Nothing could crush him.

In the eyes of everyone, his voice returned to high pitch again, and he sang the second stanza.

"Dear classmates......"

This time, Gu Xiaobai stopped after singing a sentence and looked at the classmates below.

The students immediately repeated: "Dear students......"

The two voices were intertwined, rushing, like the dark sea under a moonlit night.

"If I leave......" Qi Xiaobai sang.

"If I go away......" is repeated in two voices.

At this moment, Principal Wu suddenly heard a voice beside him.

Professor Chen also joined the chorus, his eyes were filled with tears, and his voice was a little trembling, but it was very loud: "If I leave......

"Leave...... Leaving ......"

When the echo of the two words of departure was still echoing in the cafeteria, Gu Xiaobai sang the next sentence again: "Wait for the spring rain to knock on the cold window, and the young man is not greedy for dreams." ”

When the word "Spring Rain" was sung, as soon as Gu Xiaobai raised his hand, the classmates had automatically joined in.

It's like the effect of canon reappearing, one after another.

The "Spring Rain" of the female voice...... Spring Rain ......" is right on the "cold window" of the male voice...... Cold window ......"

The "Good Dream" of the Girls' Division...... Good Dream ......" and the "greed" of the boys' department...... Covetous......"

I don't know if it's a coincidence, or what, even if it's rehearsed, I'm afraid it doesn't have such a good effect.

Singing has been a way for human beings to organize themselves and integrate into the collective since ancient times, and everyone, almost instinctively, has found their place in this chorus.

Gu Xiaobai, who was standing in front, showed a hint of a smile, and in the echo of "greed", he sang the end of this paragraph: "Reading is now." ”

Then repeat: "Reading is the right time!"

The male and female voices repeat together: "Reading is now!"

Gu Xiaobai unconsciously covered his chest.

Last time, when he sang "The End of the World", to be honest, he didn't feel much.

After all, it was he who was singing.

But this time, he was really blown away, and he really felt the power of music.

His heart couldn't help but tremble, and his voice trembled slightly.

At this time, he sang the third stanza.

"There's a girl ......"

The boys' department repeated: "Girl...... Girl......"

"Standing by the lake......" Gu Xiaobai sang again.

The girls' department repeats: "Lakeside...... Lakeside ......"

"She's my sweetheart, and she hasn't held her hand ...... yet"

"Sweetheart...... Sweetheart...... Hand in hand...... Hand in hand ......"

By President Wu's side, Professor Chen finally couldn't help it, he raised his face, but tears flowed uncontrollably.

What did he think of at this moment?

Nobody knows.

But he was not alone in tears.

Principal Wu touched the corners of his eyes, which were also moist.
