Tongtong, who was eliminated, was not unwilling, but accompanied Lin Qirong and Zuo Youran to continue watching the game.

She felt that she had learned a lot this time, and there was nothing to regret, and instead of being disappointed, it was better to continue to practice seriously, and there was still a performance waiting for her.

The final results of the competition were in, and a talented twenty-year-old pianist from Italy won the first place, followed by the second to sixth places.

There was also a special award, which was very unexpectedly awarded to Tongtong.

When the results were announced, Tongtong and Lin Qirong were both confused, what was going on?

However, as a special award, it is okay to award it to any contestant, and looking at the expressions of other people at the scene, it seems that this result is not surprising.

When Tong Tong took the stage to receive the trophy and certificate of the special prize from Reginod, the president of the Chopin Music Society, the chairman rubbed Tong Tong's hair very kindly.

"Keep up the good work, you have a very good talent, don't waste it. We look forward to seeing you in the future. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Tongtong replied obediently, "I like the piano, and I will continue to work hard." ”

"Yes, interest is the best teacher, and I hope you will be able to truly fall in love with the piano, not for the sake of competition, and for the sake of playing. ”

Reginaud sighed and announced the official end of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Tongtong failed to reach the finals, but unexpectedly won a special award and became the object of attention of many media reporters, and the interview with them lasted for a long time before it ended.

Other piano musicians also came up to greet them.

"It turned out to be Mr. Lin's daughter, no wonder she has such an excellent musical talent. A pianist said with a smile, he was very familiar with Lin Qirong.

After all, he is also a world superstar.

"Thank you. Lin Qirong looked at Lin Qirong, who was obediently snuggled up to him, and replied happily.

Either way, it was an unexpected surprise.

After the competition, the Chopin Music Society held a reception dinner, which was also a concert.

Many famous musicians held their glasses and quietly enjoyed the concert, and in addition to the award-winning contestants, there were also some special guests, including famous pianists.

Hayden and Tongtong also got such an opportunity.

This is not a competition, so you don't have to play Chopin's works specifically, and you can choose your best works more freely and bring the best performances.

So the whole concert was very exciting, and every performance would cause a round of applause.

Tong Tong appeared on the stage and started his performance in front of many of the best musicians.

The rhythm is very bright and exciting, and at first everyone thought it was a cheerful song, which was suitable for such an occasion.

But gradually, the wine glasses in everyone's hands stopped, and their eyes invariably looked at Tongtong on the stage, watching her slender ten fingers jump on the keys, playing a series of notes, and interpreting this piece like a dream.

In the bright rhythm, they seemed to see a picture, a tragic picture of the ruins of a city in the ashes after the baptism of war, and the sad picture of the sunset reflected in the blood, tears and dust.

After the war, the smoke of gunpowder that had not yet dissipated was in the air. The sky was a little low, I don't know if it was a sign before the rain or the smoke of gunpowder, and the clouds took on a melancholy gray color in the sky.

The collapsing walls left a mess of rubble on the ground, and the dust swayed through the air before finally settling and returning to the dirt. In the ruined walls after the war, an unknown small white flower blooms.

I don't know the name of the little white flower, swaying slightly in the wind.

It watched the people come and go, the chariots and tanks threatening to destroy its roots and soil, and the birds occasionally panicked to find a crumb in the crevices of the depopulated rocks......

It is only when night comes, that it sees calm.

Reginod, the president of the Chopin Music Society, didn't know when he stood up, and looked at Tongtong on the stage in a daze, as if he had returned to that era, returned to the war, and experienced the catastrophe on earth again.

It was a catastrophe that the whole of Warsaw, all Poles, did not want to recall, the glorious city of Warsaw was overwhelmed by the flames of war, groups of Poles fell under the butcher's knife, and the country perished······

No matter how many years have passed, people still can't forget it.

He didn't expect that he would think of this incident again in such a song in this place at this time, and the emotions in his heart were detonated again.

Unconsciously, his eyes were full of tears, because of the sound of Tongtong's piano, because of that history of suffering.

Behind him, many more people stood up, also with tears in their eyes, either from Warsaw, or from Croatia, Ukraine, Libya, Afghanistan······

They have one thing in common, that is, their country, their homeland, which has been or is suffering from the baptism of war, and they have a deep sense of the pain caused by war.

Tongtong's impassioned piano music, full of sadness and strength, war and rebirth, resonated with them.

At the end of the song, the applause was thunderous.

Reginod staggered onto the stage and bowed deeply to Tongtong.

Tongtong was startled by him and hurriedly flashed aside.

"It's fine. Reginor smiled gently, "This piece of music you performed is so touching that it touched me very much." ”

"Really?" Tong Tong asked happily, "This is my father's composition, and this is the first time I have played it." ”

I see, Mr. Lin really deserves to be a master of music. Reginod naturally knew Lin Qirong, "Of course, your performance is very good, bringing us such a wonderful performance."

I think it's the repertoire that limits your play, otherwise this piece alone would have been enough to win first place. ”

"No, I think it's good to have a limited repertoire like this, and it lets me know that I still have a lot to do and that I still need to work hard.

Dad also said that the works of those great musicians are eternal, and being able to absorb nutrients from their works is very good for your own growth. ”

Reginald exclaimed, "You have a good father. ”

Tong Tong smiled sweetly, "I think so too." ”

"Anyway, thank you again for bringing us such a great piece of music. Reginoud smiled, "Welcome to our side in the future, we welcome you to come and perform at any time." ”

This is a semi-official invitation.

"Thank you, I would be happy if I had the chance. Tongtong nodded to him gratefully before stepping off the stage and throwing himself into Lin Qirong's arms.

Dad said you had to play this music with your heart, and she did, but why did so many people look at her so strangely?

"Awesome. Lin Qirong rubbed her hair and smiled, and greeted the eyes cast around her.

The piano piece "Croatian Rhapsody" is too great for these war-torn countries.

In fact, why is he not like this?

There is sadness in this song, but also there is silent desolation. The chords of the song are extremely beautiful, and every time people hear this song, their hearts are always filled with a touch of sadness and strength.

Tongtong's unexpected performance made the next performance seem to lose its meaning all of a sudden, people's hearts were still immersed in the song just now, and they seemed absent-minded about the performance of the remaining guests, and the banquet ended hastily.

After returning to the hotel, Lin Qirong welcomed the visit of Reginord, the president of the Chopin Music Society.

"Thank you Mr. Lin for creating such an excellent song, which really touched us. ”

Lin Qirong said modestly, "It's nothing, I don't deserve your praise." ”

Reginod said solemnly, "Mr. Lin is wrong, a piece of music is alive and can move countless people.

This piece of music is like that, and in our minds, it's no worse than any famous song. ”

"Thank you. ”

Reginod calmed down, "I don't know if Mr. Lin has time, if we can, we very much hope that Mr. Lin can hold a concert in our Warsaw and perform this piece for us on the spot." ”

Lin Qirong shook his head, "I'm sorry, although I know how to play the piano, my performance level is not even comparable to my daughter, let alone compared with you masters."

Besides, I have to return to Huaxia, so I can't stay too long.

In fact, it seems to me that it would be better for you to play this piece by yourself, after all, you have the same feelings. ”

Reginord pondered for a while before nodding slowly, "Then let's thank Teacher Lin in advance." ”

Indeed, such music, played by their orchestra, will have a better effect.

"Either way, we want to thank you for being able to create such a piece of music, for today's music industry, a good music creator is too precious, and a good piece of music is also precious.

We, the Chopin Music Society, will be your best friend and will always welcome you to Warsaw for travel and performances. ”

"Thanks, I think we'll be happy, it's a beautiful city. ”

"Yes, I'm proud of my city. ”

The next day, Lin Qirong and others stepped on the plane and returned to China.

It was a very memorable experience for Tongtong, who excelled in the Chopin International Piano Competition, even when compared to competitors many years older than her, only to stop in the second round due to lack of consistency.

In the end, she shocked the audience with a song "Croatian Rhapsody", touched countless people, and became the most shining existence.

No one doubts that in the future, she will be the existence that everyone in the world needs to look up to, and she will be the real piano princess.

Because of her talent, but also because her father's name is Lin Qirong.
