Global Harbor, a landmark building in Huaihai Puda District. It is also one of the largest shopping malls in SH. The 320,000-square-meter commercial shopping area is a proud presence even in the bustling Huaihai.

Many major international brands and restaurants have opened their own branches or flagship stores here. From food to clothing, to living and playing, it can be said that there is everything here.

Coupled with the intersection of three metro lines, Global Harbor is a crowded place. There is a large square at the entrance of Global Harbor, where various events are held from time to time.

At night, it becomes a gathering place for nearby residents. Some people walk their dogs here, some practice skateboarding and roller skating here, and some people simply come here to take pictures. But more people are hurrying by here.

Because there are three subway lines here, and not far away is the intersection of Yinshajiang Road and Ningqiu Road, and there is also an inner ring elevated up and down passage.

So it's an unusually lively place with a huge flow of people.

Countless people rush past here every day, scrolling their phones with their heads down. Or standing anxiously near the entrance of the subway and looking around, as if waiting for something. In the late autumn of November, the autumn mood of Huaihai City is strong.

Although the inside of the Global Harbor is still lively, the footsteps of pedestrians in the square outside the Global Harbor are becoming more and more hurried.

Hardly anyone noticed that there were three people doing something here.

Niu Ben carried his saxophone on his back and took Niu Xiaoli to the square of Global Harbor. Niu Xiaoli didn't understand what Niu Ben was doing here with her. and also called Zhang Tong.

Niu Ben opened the box of the saxophone and took out his own saxophone. Then he said to Zhang Tong: "Brother Zhang, you help me record the video." ”

Zhang Tong took his mobile phone and clicked on the video recording function, and then nodded.

Niu Xiaoli asked Niu Ben in confusion, "What are you doing here?"

Twelve-year-old Niu Ben smiled at his mother, and between his eyebrows there was a unique flying jump of a child of this age: "The performance doesn't have to be in New York City Hall!"

After saying this, Niu Ben had already begun to blow the first note of the saxophone.

The melody is familiar. What a beautiful jasmine, what a beautiful jasmine. The fragrance is beautiful and full of branches, fragrant and white people praise. Let me pick you and give it to someone else's house, jasmine, jasmine.

A melodious melody came from the saxophone. Deep and calm, emotional, soft and sad, like an echo within an echo.

Simple tunes, emotional melodies. Niu Ben stood on the stone steps of the flower bed and played the song "Jasmine" with his own feelings. It was the first time he played the saxophone in public outside of school and music studios.

And still in this kind of crowded square, Niu Ben is very nervous. He made two wrong scales at the beginning of the first stanza and had one pitch out of sync in the second. But after that, he quickly adjusted himself.

From the beginning of the partnership, to the later began to become more and more proficient, Niu Ben has forgotten that he is performing in the crowded square of Global Harbor.

He was as relaxed as if he were practicing in an unoccupied music classroom. The use of glide vibrato is round and smooth, and the most particular thing about the wind instrument is to contain feelings, and Niu Ben is even more distracted.

He closed his eyes and gave up his visual senses. All he could hear was music coming from the saxophone.

The melodious sound of the saxophone wafted in the air on the autumn evening, wafting into the ears of every hurried passer-by. Those who are swiping their phones down, those who are in a hurry, and those who are eating with their college classmates to celebrate passing the graded exam.

Many people began to look up in the direction of the music, and the crowd gradually gathered from all around.

Many people took out their mobile phones to take pictures or videos of the little chubby Ding standing on the stone steps. A group of female college students who came to Global Harbor to eat desserts took out their mobile phones to take pictures of Chubby Ding, and at the same time said, "Oh, this Chubby is so cute." "I can also play the saxophone, which is much better than my fat brother." "Wow, this little fleshy face really wants to pinch it. ”

And the evaluation of the people around him did not affect Niu Ben, he turned directly to "Moonlight in the City" without any stagnation after playing "Jasmine".

The moonlight in the city illuminates the dream, please warm his heart. After seeing through the gathering and dispersion of the world, can you have more happy clips.

The saxophone's gentle voice whispered about the joys and sorrows of the city. Come with the fate, and the fate scatters. In this big city, many people are like inner and outer loops. You and I are on the same path, but we are always on opposite paths.

When Niu Ben finished playing this piece and opened his eyes, dozens of people were already around him. And many more people stood farther away and listened to his music from a distance.

When the music stopped, everyone clapped enthusiastically. And someone whistled and shouted, "Fatty, another one!"

Niu Ben was a little excited, this was his first public performance. But it doesn't look bad. Because he was excited, he said to Niu Xiaoli in a trembling tone, "Mom, have you seen it?"

"Actually, you can do it anywhere. It's not just a show at New York City Hall, I have an audience here. I asked Brother Zhang Tong to help me record this video, and I will upload it online. Niu Ben's hand trembled slightly.

"The world is big and the world is small. I'm just standing in this place, but my stage can be the whole world!"

Niu Xiaoli looked at Niu Ben and looked at her son, and her eyes were already red involuntarily.

Zhang Tong filmed this video for Niu Ben, with a smile on his lips. Twelve years old is the age at which a person should speak out.

Maybe it's a middle two, maybe it's arrogant. But if you plant a seed in your heart, maybe one day it will take root and sprout into a towering tree?

Just a young classmate, in the prime of life, a scholarly spirit, scolding Fang Xuan.

Pointing to the country, inspiring words, the dung was ten thousand households.

Niu Ben is at the most vain age of a person's life, but his family conditions make him "nothing" in terms of material conditions. However, he was far superior to his peers in spirit and character.

In its prime, the spirit is flying. Niu Ben has the most self-confidence and pride that he should have at this age, and he is arrogant when he is young.

Although I don't have anything now, it doesn't mean that I will still have nothing in the future. Niu Ben is very stubborn, like a brute bull. But this kind of stubbornness and pride makes Zhang Tong appreciate it very much, this is a good boy!
