Chapter 636: Route 66

The day after the end of the competition, the news that Tongtong won the gold medal in the youth group of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition held in the United States spread to China through the media, and then quickly fermented and set off a wave of enthusiasm.

Although I don't know exactly what kind of competition the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition is, through the description of media reporters, everyone knows that this is a top competition comparable to the Chopin International Piano Competition, and Tongtong can be said to be very powerful to win the gold medal in this competition.

The reporters also interviewed many famous pianists who attended the competition in the local area, including the well-known piano duo Cheng Ruibo and Xu Junzhe, who all praised Tongtong's performance and looked forward to her future development.

Reporters who were not able to interview do not have to worry, because the local reports about this competition are overwhelming, including many musicians and pianists praising Tongtong, and the words of the chairman of the jury when awarding the award are the object of everyone's reprint.

"This is a real little piano princess. A reporter said, "Tongtong conquered the judges and the audience with his own piano sound, and won the gold medal without any suspense, which is the first small performer in Chinese history to win the gold medal in the youth group of this competition, Tongtong has made history." ”

Netizens reacted very enthusiastically to this matter, and fans of the "Tonghua Army" even rushed to tell each other, promoting this as a major event.

"Tongtong is so powerful, the piano princess lives up to her name. ”

"Our children don't know anything at the age of seven, but Tongtong is already internationally famous, which is completely incomparable. ”

"It's someone else's child. ”

"Lao Tzu is a hero, Lin Qirong is already a great cow, but his daughter seems to be even more powerful, which really makes people have nothing to say. ”

"Don't think that Tongtong simply won this award, after all, such an international professional award is not famous to get, behind what we don't know, she must have made great efforts for it.

You must know that since she became famous in the "Where Are You Going, Dad" show, she has not run around various sets and shows like most child stars, participated in various programs and even participated in some TV series and movies, in addition to school, she should spend most of her time practicing the piano.

With the guidance of a famous teacher and her own efforts, she has been able to improve so much.

Of course, Tongtong has unparalleled piano talent, otherwise it would not be possible to have such results at such a young age.

I seem to see a new star rising. ”

Because of the Tongtong incident, there has been a wave of discussion on children's education in China, and Lin Qirong and Tongtong have become the objects that everyone wants to study and emulate.

Lin Qirong didn't know that such a thing happened in China because of Tongtong, he and Tongtong participated in the adult group of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition held on the second day, and saw the world's piano elites, saw a genius pianist blooming dazzling light, and also enjoyed the top piano audio-visual feast.

Seeing Tongtong devote herself to it, Lin Qirong felt very relieved and believed that she could learn a lot from it.

After the game, everyone said goodbye and went their separate ways.

"Dad, where are we going?"

Seeing off Hayden and the others, Tongtong looked up and asked Lin Qirong.

"Of course it's going to travel. Lin Qirong rubbed her hair, "You and your mother have also worked very hard during this time, and you have also obtained such good results, so you should take a good rest, so I decided that we will have a happy trip." ”

"yes, that's great. Tongtong cheered happily.

After a while, an off-road vehicle slowly stopped in front of the three of them.

"Our car is coming. Lin Qirong smiled and greeted the young black man who got out of the car.

"Hello, I'm Lin Qirong. ”

The young black man smiled and his white teeth sparkled, "Boss, your car is here." ”

"Thank you, it's a good car, I love it. ”

The young black man handed him the key, "Then please enjoy this wonderful journey." ”

"Thank you, I think we'll enjoy it. Lin Qirong took the key with a smile, turned around and said to Zuo Youran and Tongtong, "Get in the car, we're going to go." ”

"yes, that's great. Tong Tong cheered and dragged his small suitcase and put them into the trunk with Lin Qirong, and then sat in the car with Zuo leisurely, shouting, "Let's go." ”

Lin Qirong sat in the driver's seat, got familiar with the car before turning on the fire, and said with a smile, "Let's go." ”

The car started slowly, then turned onto the road, left Fort Worth, and after following the navigation for some distance, turned onto a major road with a sign clearly stating the name of the road: Route 66.

Lin Qirong slowed down the car, lowered the roof of the car, and turned the whole car into an open-top off-road vehicle, so that Zuo Youran and Tongtong could observe the unique scenery around them, while telling them the history of the road.

Highway 66, affectionately known as the "Mother Road" by the people of the United States, is a diagonal shape that crosses from Chicago, Illinois all the way to Santa Monica, Los Angeles, California, with a total length of 2,448 miles (about 3,939 kilometers).

This road used to be the main traffic artery of the United States, and it was an important passage for the development of the western region, which can be said to record the historical story of the development of the United States into the world's largest power, and witnessed the free, brave and enterprising spirit of the United States people, which has special significance to the people of the United States.

There are many famous attractions on this highway, and the western cowboy style is one of the most distinctive, so it can be said that if you want to understand the history of the United States and experience the western style, this road is indispensable. ”

Tongtong listened very attentively, and looked at Lin Qirong with admiration, "Dad is so powerful, he knows a lot of things." ”

Lin Qirong said with a smile, "Dad has checked the information in advance, and Dad doesn't know everything, so Dad also has to study often, only in this way can he become better." ”

"Oh. Tong Tong nodded thoughtfully, "But Dad is still so good." ”

"Haha. ”

Zuo Youran watched the two of them interact with a gentle smile on his face, enjoying the warmth and happiness of this moment.

The car carried a family of three and a car full of laughter and laughter on Route 66.

Along the way, you can see cornfields, Indian reservations, and endless deserts, and the vast loess is full of western cowboy vibees during the scattered cacti scattered period.

Lin Qirong's family seems to have fallen into a time tunnel, returning to the era when cowboys were popular in the west. From sparkling taverns to neon-lit motels to old-fashioned gas stations, the legends of the West are all playing out right in front of you.

In these places, there are many locations that appear in the movies of the United States, and many film companies that shoot western movies or series will choose to shoot along Route 66, where there are original buildings and flavors, so they are also familiar to the world, and Lin Qirong has seen a lot of familiar buildings along the way, all of which have appeared in movies.

In the evening, they stopped at a small hotel on the side of the road, Lin Qirong had already booked a room in advance, and after the family settled down, they quietly enjoyed the dusk scenery here with other travelers who also stayed here.

When the sun goes down, nearby hotels, bars and other buildings are lit up, ushering in the unique nightlife of the west.

After enjoying a delicious steak meal at a restaurant, the three of them ordered some drinks at a tavern with other travelers to enjoy the night here.

Unlike other places, the dΓ©cor here still retains a strong western style, and the owners and waiters are dressed in the old western cowboy attire, weaving through the tourists, serving them a variety of drinks and drinks, which is an eye-opener for the visitors who come here.

On the stage of the tavern, there is a band performing, which is also full of western music, making people feel like they are in the history of the United States, which is very unique.

"It's fun. Tongtong took a sip of his drink, looked around happily, and felt funny when he saw everything.

There are so many differences between this place and Huaxia, which makes her see a lot of things and be interested in everything.

Lin Qirong and Zuo leisurely looked at each other and smiled, this was exactly their purpose.

A long-distance road trip to Highway 66 to take Tongtong to see one of the world's most famous highways and see the unique culture of the United States will definitely be a good journey for her and broaden her horizons.

Facts have proved that for a child, although it will not be obvious in a short period of time, but he will see more things, his horizons will be broadened a lot, and he will grow in all aspects.

"They don't sing as well as Daddy. The only thing that made Tongtong feel dissatisfied was the band, she felt that their singing was not good at all, and it was not as good as what her father sang.

"Can't say that. Lin Qirong said with a smile, "The music of the United States is famous all over the world, and the country music of the west is one of the most famous, which is very similar to the folk songs of our country. ”

He paused and said, "Of course, Dad sings better." ”

"Hee-hee. Tongtong laughed happily, "Why don't Dad go up and sing a song for everyone to listen to." ”

"Of course that's fine. ”

This tavern itself has the choice of the audience to go up and sing, and in the face of the request of his baby daughter, Lin Qirong did not refuse, and promised to come down and wait for the band to perform a song again, before coming to the stage and talking to the band, taking a guitar from the guitarist and sitting in the position of the lead singer.
