Conservatory, weather, sunny.

Xu Yan followed Tang Zhongjun to the highest institution of music learning in China.

The gate is bustling with students, so you can see a lot of students pushing bicycles in and out of the school gate.

Moreover, most of them carry a guitar on their backs, and some even dye their hair red or green, which is a very different landscape.

On both sides of the path, there are bursts of aroma, and there are many small vendors who rely on students to buy.

On the surface, this conservatory is no different from other universities in China.

However, Xu Yan knows very well that like the film academy, this school, which is rich in all kinds of singers and singers, is a temple for young people with music or star dreams.

At least, Tang Zhongjun beside him, this is where his dream began.

"See it! Xu Yan, I'm ...... I was 23 years old and went to college. ”

smiled awkwardly, but Tang Zhongjun did not shy away from the most embarrassing stage of his life at all.

"My grades in high school were not bad, but the conditions at home really didn't allow me to continue my education. ”

For the first time, it was the first time for Tang Zhongjun to talk about his experience in that era so openly with a junior.

"At that time, the university had not yet expanded its enrollment! There were very few people who could be admitted to the university, even if it was just an ordinary second-class college, it was the pride of the whole village and even the whole town. I was lucky enough to get into the ......"

Speaking of this, Tang Zhongjun still puffed up his chest proudly and said, "Among the candidates in our province, I rank 13,423. This ranking will be remembered for the rest of my life. At that time, even our mayor came to our small mountain village with no roads, and congratulated me on my admission to university. ”

"Indeed, I have also learned from some novels that describe that it is not easy to even get into a junior college. But why didn't you end up on it?"

Xu Yan bought two pieces of "light cakes" on the side of the road, and after eating them last time, this kind of delicious snack made him miss it very much.

Tang Zhongjun took a piece of "light cake", and after taking a bite, he laughed at himself and said: "Unfortunately! At that time, it was also the time when the state officially began to collect college tuition, and the tuition fee was several thousand yuan a year, and our family couldn't afford it at all...... So, in the end, I gave up, picked up my luggage, and set foot on the team to work in the south......"

"Give up going to college, just because of a few thousand dollars in tuition?"

To Xu Yan's ears, it was really incredible.

Even today, college students can apply for various student loans even if they can't afford to pay their tuition fees.

However, at that time, it did have its limitations of the times, which led to a huge change in the fate of many people who could have received a more talented education.

"Five years! I went south to the construction site at the age of eighteen, and in these five years, I saved a little money, but I felt very unwilling, I felt that my life should not be like this......"

Tang Zhongjun raised his head slowly, "One day, I passed by a bar! You know, the consumption of the bar is not low, even at that time, a glass of the most ordinary beer is worth my day's wages." However, I was attracted by the singing inside...... My eyes were fixed on the long-haired, guitarist-strumming singer at the bar......"

Hearing this, Xu Yan understood that this was the enlightenment of Tang Zhongjun's music.

Perhaps, on weekdays, he will also listen to songs and sing with his co-workers, but for these people, singers or anything, they are all big stars!

Not to mention 108,000 miles away from them, at least out of reach.

However......

It was at the door of the bar that day that Tang Zhongjun was attracted by the bar singer who was so close.

He walked in, asked for the cheapest beer on the menu, and stayed all night.

The bar singer sang a total of 24 songs!

Tang Zhongjun still remembers that there are 4 songs in it that he likes very much.

From that day on, Tang Zhongjun's life became different, and suddenly there was brilliance.

Wrong!

It should be said that it is dazzling!

He used his savings to buy a guitar, and when he couldn't afford a teacher, he taught himself the books he bought.

During the day, he worked on the construction site, and at night he played and sang on the desolate construction site.

Even, sometimes I will sit on the dozens of floors that have just been built, and sing all the depression and ambition in my heart to the moon that seems to be within reach.

Stumbling to learn the guitar and singing, Tang Zhongjun walked into the bar for the first time and asked the owner if he wanted a resident singer.

In order to be more like a singer, Tang Zhongjun was very distressed and cut out several holes in the newly bought jeans.

Lucky enough!

The first bar he asked happened to have a singer who went north to study at the Conservatory, so the boss asked him to sing a song.

"Do you know? Xu Yan! I almost trembled when I sang that song. For the first time, I had an audience. You know? I was thinking, even if I don't have any money, if I come over and sing every night, I'm willing. ”

Speaking of this dusty past again, suddenly Tang Zhongjun had an indescribable sourness.

How do you feel that it still feels good at that time?

Now I have such a superior material life, but I have completely lost the passion I had at the beginning.

"The boss asked me for 100 yuan a night of singing, and there was no commission for alcohol consumption. However, if a guest orders a song, I can also get a share of the money. I left the construction site and officially became a ......singer, hehe! The life ideals I set have come true. ”

Turning to look at the overpass across the road, Tang Zhongjun said with emotion, "I sang for a while, because I had almost no other expenses except for eating and singing." After saving a sum of money, I remembered what the previous bar owner said that the previous singer went to Beijing and came to the conservatory to realize his dream. So...... I think...... I'm coming to ...... too."

Hearing this, Xu Yan added with a smile: "Next, it is the well-known part that was excavated by Professor Feng Dajun of the Conservatory of Music, your song "I Am Like This", which completely detonated the domestic rock trend......"

"yes!"

Tang Zhongjun pointed to the location of the overpass not far away and said, "Look! That's it, I wrote "I'm Like This" there, and sang the ...... all afternoon and evening."

"Or ...... Let's go check it out!"

Striding forward, Xu Yan looked at the busy city, at the pedestrians who were getting busier and busier, and at the city that had become more prosperous but more indifferent.

His heart ...... There is also enlightenment.

"This is it. Alas, I knew I would bring a guitar ......."

When Tang Zhongjun was sighing, Xu Yan handed over a guitar: "Ask a student to borrow it, I also want to listen to the live version of "I'm Like This", is it okay?"

"Of course!"

At this moment, Tang Zhongjun seemed to have returned to the time when he abandoned everything for his dreams, picked up the most ordinary guitar, played with it casually, and sang slowly.

"That's what I did, beer by beer.

Who can really care, there will always be a disappointment in fate.

That's how I am, sorrowful day by day.

Where is there any way out, is life to be broken with blood?

I'm like this, the road is so far that there is no end in sight.

I'm like this, how can I get drunk too late at night to wake up and dream?

......”

The same location, spanning almost two decades.

The same song also spans nearly two decades.

Tang Zhongjun sang a little forgetful, he burst into tears, he closed his eyes, as if he saw the hot-blooded young man......

Oh, yes!

That's what I'm like.

That's who I am!

The original me, full of enthusiasm, was not afraid of anything, and everything had been left behind......

Look at me now, why did I become like this?

What has changed?

Is this another disappointment of fate?

The road is near, but is the end of the road like this?

Tang Zhongjun has ignored the more and more passers-by around him, he indulges in playing and singing loudly......

Shout at the top of one's lungs!

He wanted to go back in time......

That very pure teenager!

That's a ...... O pure heart to move forward!

Right!

It's the heart of a child!

Xu Yan was also eye-catching, in Tang Zhongjun's singing, combined with all the experiences he told.

In addition to being moved, Xu Yan finally grasped the little inspiration in his heart.

【Song Generator】

Xu Yan excitedly wrote down the condition he set "Pure Heart", which is what he and Tang Zhongjun have been looking for in what they think is the "rock spirit".
