"Bang! bang!"

The neat and fierce beat sounded like a storm crashing against the coastline, wave after wave, the loud sound of piercing the clouds and cracking stones exploded in the air, and the sound waves of mountains and seas resounded above the eardrums. At this moment, the sanity is completely burned away, as if traveling through time and space, and the inside and outside of the pioneer village are two very different worlds, which sound incredible, but the reality is playing out.

Lan Li in sight, with a bright smile on his face, put down his hands, took the guitar on his back to his chest, and began to outline the strings. The short, light, calm and moving notes were like a series of cannons, crackling out, like thousands of sardines, swimming freely in the sea of applause, the turbulent waves gradually calmed down, followed the swarms of sardines and swayed, and suddenly, everyone became one.

It was as if the rhythm had existed in the first place, as if the notes had been humming, flowing in the blood, rooted in the depths of the soul, wonderful and moving, the sparks that burst out continuously, blurred the vision, hazy the halo, and gradually, he disappeared, melted, and became a part of this sea of carnival, surrounding the handsome and upright figure, surrendering to the clear and translucent guitar strings, feeling the power of magic, humming softly.

"He dwelt in the mountains far away from the world, and we never crossed paths, even if it was only ten cents, but he left behind a rich treasury. ”

Lan Li sang loudly, but the simple lyrics were like graceful narrative poems, telling them eloquently. Between the verdant green mountains, there is a quaint and dilapidated wooden house, which is the home of my childhood grandfather, the resort of summer vacation, the harbor of escape from the city, and the habitat of the tired soul.

Involuntarily, the applause gradually lowered, there was no command, no control, as if everyone had a soul, consciously lightened their voices, followed the ups and downs of the melody, and swayed slowly with the song.

"As I learned about my grandfather's life, the impassable mountains became hills that I could easily cross, and I found a simple-life. ”

The graceful musical notes pass through the story that slowly comes, like a light wind, over the dense forest, over the steep mountains, over the vast sea, over the vast plains, and finally into the inner harbor, lazy, bright and warm, before I realize it, the smile on the corner of my mouth rises, and the blank brain can't make any thought at all, just give a command:

Open your arms, open your heart, open your guards, embrace life, embrace the simple life, embrace the beautiful and simple life.

The simple, pure, touching and sincere emotions collided and stirred between the violently clapping palms, and the rich chemical reaction began to diffuse, and the joyful, happy, beautiful, joyful, and light joy lingered in their hearts, rushing left and right, looking for a window for catharsis, and then they heard Lan Li's singing-

"I found the shortcomings of life, and I was impressed, and my eyes were wide open and my heart was open. ”

Almost reflexively, their eyes widened, their hearts opened, they beat their hands, they jumped their feet, they glistened with tears...... The last piece of the puzzle that life is missing, at this moment, has finally been found.

The melody suddenly went up, the rhythm suddenly sounded, the beat suddenly increased, and everyone, without exception, clapped their hands excitedly, trampled their legs in a carnival, and the sound of "popping" exploded again, filling the narrow space of the pioneer village, echoing and reverberating, and reverberating in bursts of continuous echoes, but all of them became the accompaniment of the Lan Li song.

"A long time ago, I made up my mind to live like my grandfather, through the rain and snow, through the wind and cold, this is the simple life I have. ”

That applause is the storm, that applause is the cold winter, that applause is the stormy waves, that applause is the thunder, and that applause is the sky and the earth are cracking. However, they are so determined, so unswerving, under the leadership of Lan Li, following the resolute and tall voice, cleaving the waves, overcoming thorns and thorns, overcoming all difficulties, and moving forward with their heads held high!

"Rich or poor, young and old, they all hang above the thin red line, and at the end of my life, someone whispers that this is the simple life I have. ”

Suddenly, tears blurred the vision, and before the hot teardrops could react, they had already jumped violently, got rid of the shackles of the eye sockets, and slipped down, burning their cheeks and even more burning the softness of their chests.

That's life, that's their life. They are facing the tremendous pressure of society, they are facing the nowhere squeeze of life, they are facing the cruel oppression of reality, they know, clearly know, that dreams are too far away and too small after all, dreams cannot fill their stomachs, nor can they find a sheltered world.

In the face of real life, dreams are a joke. Not to mention those who live in the powder keg of war, even in North America, in New York, there are still countless people who are struggling to get above the line of life. The scythe of death was already on his neck, but he was shouting dreams, how ridiculous, how ridiculous, how helpless.

However, there is no spiritual power, no yearning for dreams, and no free pursuit. Even if you are alive, you are a walking corpse, and even if you are rich, you are an empty shell. Life is full of difficulties and pains, and dreams don't help anything, but dreams make life bearable.

The moment the dream dies, life is gone. To be alive, just to be alive.

Their lives are so simple, no matter how poor or rich, no matter how young or old, no matter the wind and blizzard, no matter the rain and the cold, they are steadfast in their dreams and move on. At the moment of death, they can still see the magnificent and gorgeous colors, even more wonderful than the aurora. Simple life, simple life, but bursting with infinite meaning.

Emotions rushed through his chest, Timosi was already in tears, he couldn't stop crying, he didn't know what was wrong with him, he wasn't sure what was going on, but he just wanted to jump, he just wanted to cheer, he just wanted to high-five, and just that, so simply, towards the end of the world.

Hot tears continued to flow, but the smile on Timsey's lips was blooming proudly. Like a fool, he jumped and clapped, and he could only see Lan Li alone in his eyes, following the flow of music up and down. Fortunately, he is not alone. Listen, it's so loud.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The whole pioneer village was filled with a sensational sound, and the world was boiling, as if they could pry the whole earth if they tried hard enough.

"One night I found a treasure chest in the attic where my grandfather's identification badge from the war was neatly arranged, and he left all his memories here. The photographs and letters tell the story, and the neatly folded flags bring tears to my eyes, because I never understood the thorns that lead to a simple life. ”

The melody calmed down again, and Lan Li revealed the story hidden behind the song. This is a song about inheriting the legacy of his grandfather, and it is also a song about the wish of inheriting the craftsman's heart. In George Strand, in Stanley Charleson, Lan Li saw the shining spirit, the indomitable in the midst of war, and the steadfastness in life.

Today's young people are losing the spirit of the past.

Not only the artillery fire of the war years, nor the music of the golden age, but also the spirit hidden in it: the spirit of never giving up, the spirit of pursuing freedom, the spirit of persisting in dreams, and the spirit of simple life.

Nowadays people have more and more, but feel more and more empty, life always seems to be missing a piece, but no one knows why. It's like those pop music, smooth and cheerful, moving and exciting, everyone can enjoy it, there's nothing wrong with that, life is a party, but after the music is over, the emptiness in the heart is like a black hole, no matter what, what is missing?

No one knows.

"I found the shortcomings of life, and I was impressed, and my eyes were wide open and my heart was open. ”

This is the answer given by Lan Li, the impassioned emotion, the surging emotion, the courage to move forward, and the unquenchable motivation have been turned into lyrics, integrated into the melody, and sung loudly.

"A long time ago, I made up my mind to live like my grandfather, through the rain and snow, through the wind and cold, this is the simple life I have, whether rich or poor, old or young, they all hang on the thin red line, and at the end of life, someone whispers, this is the simple life I have. ”

Spontaneously, the humming of "Oooh oh!" began to follow the end of each lyric, resounding through the sky, no one organizing, no one taking the lead, just shouting from the heart, as if this was the right thing to do, this is the way to really fit in. The loud singing broke through the shackles of the walls, broke through the barriers of the steel forest, broke through the barriers of the clouds, and exploded with high spirits.

"Oh oh oh! this is the simple life I have!" everyone is singing, everyone is shouting, everyone is partying. This is their simple life: the simplest yet most dreamy life.

Suddenly, Lan Li's guitar sound stopped abruptly, he stood in place, looking at the faces under the stage, without saying a word, the applause continued, but it was not monotonous at all, surging, surging, boiling, so simple, so pure, but so wonderful.

Lan Li sang loudly into the microphone, no melody, only the accompaniment of the beat.

"Whenever the chest burns with enthusiasm, the past suddenly comes to mind, and those grandfather's instructions remain in my heart for a long time. A long time ago, I made up my mind that when life crept by, I would raise a glass and toast to the simple life!"
