Verse 132: Alone in a foreign land as a stranger
The weather is not very good today, the sunlight in the window is very dim, gray feeling, and in broad daylight, it feels that the indoor light is a little dim.
The air conditioning in the house was so open and warm that it contrasted so strongly with the outside that small droplets of water were condensed on the glass of the balcony.
The TV in the living room is on, and the warm-up program of the Spring Festival Gala is being played on it, and the three sketch actors are performing sketches on it, and the audience laughs twice from time to time.
Shen Huan didn't laugh.
He just snuggled up on the couch, bored watching the TV, his eyes unfocused.
Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and tomorrow is Spring Festival.
The Spring Festival is the most important festival in Chinese tradition, and people who have been busy for a year have rested at this time to go home and reunite with their families.
For celebrities, especially singers, the Spring Festival is not a time of rest for them, but a time of work, CCTV and major provincial satellite TV will hold parties on this day, and the number of singers needed is very large, but it is not Shen Huan's turn.
It's not because they don't want Shen Huan to win 6 awards at the Golden Melody Awards, Shen Huan is now popular, of course they want it too, it's just that for an important program like the Spring Festival Gala, the program list has already been set, and it is not realistic to change it temporarily for one person, so Shen Huan is not as busy as other singers, but has nothing to do.
"Meteor Garden" also set a schedule on Huguang Satellite TV, starting on the third day of the new year, it will be broadcast in the evening file every day, and now it is only Chinese New Year's Eve, and I can't pay attention to it.
There is basically nothing to do at work, and Shen Huan has nowhere to go in life.
"Shen Huan"'s parents were one of the first batch of young migrant workers in China back then, and they still crossed provinces and settled in a third city outside their respective hometowns. And "Shen Huan"'s parents have also passed away a few years ago, and the house was also sold by "Shen Huan" before, so he doesn't even have a place to go for the New Year now, so he can only nest in this temporary home, and there is no one to accompany him.
Lin Hexi had already gone back to his hometown for the New Year, and after Zhang Changfu's family knew about his situation, they warmly invited him and their family to go back to their hometown for the New Year, but Shen Huan felt too embarrassed and did not agree.
The combination of these factors has led to Shen Huan now sitting alone in the living room.
Usually one person is just that, but on a day like Chinese New Year's Eve, a lonely person has a somewhat unpleasant heart, as if the loneliness of the whole world is swept like a tide.
"Hurry home, young man, your parents are still at home waiting for you for Chinese New Year's Eve." ”
"Hey, big brother, Haole, you should go back quickly, your daughter-in-law has called several times to urge. ”
……
The sketches on TV all seem to be against people, and they are all about the theme of reunion related to the Spring Festival.
In fact, this is normal, for the Chinese New Year, don't act in such a show, do you play crying and mourning? But in the eyes of Shen Huan, who is now lonely, it is even more unpleasant, and the sense of loneliness is getting stronger and stronger.
This intense sense of loneliness seemed to remind him that he did not belong to this world, that he was just a visitor.
He seemed to be isolated from the whole world, watching the operation of the world with a cold eye, and he couldn't fit in.
It was as if he had been abandoned by the world.
This reminded him of a poem.
Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, every festival is full of relatives.
Then he took out his mobile phone and made a call to Benru.
For a moment, he really couldn't think of who he could find.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Benru's voice came from the other end of the phone, "What else can ......you do when you wait for the rehearsal?" Wait, I'll call you in a moment, there's something going on here. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ben Ru hung up the phone.
"Doodoo Dot ......"
Shen Huan listened to the busy sound of the phone, and only after a while did he take the phone off his ear.
He wanted to find some sense of presence so that he would feel less bad now, but it felt like it was getting worse.
When he was in another world, he also read a few books similar to his current situation, but the protagonist in it has always been happy and satisfied, riding the wind and waves all the way to overcome obstacles, those authors have never told him that there will be such a situation, let alone what to do when he encounters such a situation.
Shen Huan had no choice but to pick up the remote control, began to turn the station frequently, and finally stopped on Shanghai Satellite TV, watched it for a while, then turned off the TV, got up, and went to the bathroom for a while, wrapped in a down jacket, took a bag and went out.
……
Three hours later, when Shen Huan arrived in Shanghai, it was already dark.
Chinese New Year is the most important festival in China, and at this time of year, the country will usher in one of the largest migrations, with a large number of migrant workers leaving and returning to their hometowns from various major cities, and the once bustling big cities will usher in the most leisurely time of the year, and Shanghai is no exception.
Shen Huan walked on the street, many small shops on the roadside had closed their doors in large areas, and finally he found a global chain of Western-style fast food restaurants to solve his dinner, and then waited on the side of the road for a long time, and finally took a taxi to the Bund.
He didn't wear a mask or sunglasses when he went out this time, but no one would recognize him, because he put on the colorful wig again, put on smoky makeup on his face, and smeared it like a ghost, Zhang Changfu promised that he wouldn't recognize him when he came.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, taxis are not only few, but also much more expensive than usual.
After paying the fare, Shen Huan got out of the car, walked for a while, and came to the Bund.
There are a lot of people on the Bund, it is very lively, and when you go up the steps, you can see that there is an extra water stage on the river in front of you, and a show is being performed on it.
This is the Spring Festival New Year's Eve event jointly organized by Shanghai Tourism Bureau, Shanghai Radio and Television Station, and Huangpu District Government, in order to let some people who can't go home for the New Year also feel the warmth of the Spring Festival, and by the way, show the world China's traditional culture, which has a history of two years, and this year is the third year, which Shen Huan saw on TV before. And probably only Shanghai, an international metropolis, can attract so many people to gather on Chinese New Year's Eve.
"Happy New Year!"
"Happy Year of the Dog!"
……
Shen Huan walked all the way, and everyone he saw greeted him with a smile, and when he saw everyone, whether they knew or didn't know each other, they would say a word of blessing. It's just that his style may be too shocking, and there are relatively few people who say blessings to him, and the most are some foreigners, who say "Happy New Year" to him in plastic Mandarin that is not fluent, and by the way, praise his style "cooooool".
Shen Huan walked all the way, and also said blessings to others all the way, in the bustling flow of people, looking at this sincere smiling face, his heart seemed to gradually warm.
It seems like you've come to the right place.
As the night deepened, there were more and more people on the Bund, and when it was close to twelve o'clock, the crowd was already surging, shoulder to shoulder, and it was no longer convenient to move around, and there was a lot of laughter and laughter around, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very warm. The performances on the water stage in front of us are also very lively, especially now that it is close to 12 o'clock, the stars who participated in this performance tonight have come to the stage, stand together with the host, stand in a row, and count down the arrival of the New Year together, the atmosphere is intensifying and is about to reach the climax.
“…… Six, five, four, three, two, one, zero!"
The colorful balls above the water stage burst suddenly, colorful confetti fell all over the sky, and the commercial buildings on the opposite side of the river were also lit up one after another, playing the words "Happy Spring Festival", and the atmosphere of tonight reached the highest point.
"Let's hug everyone around us and send them New Year's wishes!"
The host shouted, and everyone on the water stage laughed and hugged each other, leading by example. The crowd gathered on the Bund followed suit, laughing heartily, saying greetings such as "Happy Chinese New Year" and "Happy New Year", and hugging the people around them.
Most of the people who will be here at this time are also lonely.
Under the infection of the atmosphere of the scene, Shen Huan looked left and right, and also wanted to find someone to hug, and then saw the person on his left, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the world is really small.
It was a woman, a woman he knew, the suspected homosexual named Xiao Qiao who had helped him change his appearance when he helped Lin Hexi change his appearance.
She still had long, wavy hair, flaming red lips, and a knee-high down jacket, and was looking regretfully at her left front: there was a delicately dressed white woman, hugging and kissing passionately with a white man beside her.
Then she turned her head and saw Shen Huan.
It's a lace edge.
Shen Huan hesitated in his heart, not knowing whether to hug her, mainly because he didn't know if the lace edge would be particularly resistant to men, and if so, then he would be a little offended to hug the other party.
"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law. ”
Xiao Qiao was much more crisp than him, and after muttering a word, he hugged him directly, and said in his ear: "Happy New Year, timid stranger." ”
Shen Huan's expression froze slightly, and then he laughed and hugged her, "Happy Spring Festival, stranger." ”
