Chapter 637: Route 66 (2)
"Hello everyone, we are tourists from Huaxia, you can call me Lin. Lin Qirong said to the audience in English, "That's my daughter Tongtong." β
Tongtong stood up and waved to the audience, the cute and sweet appearance made everyone smile, it must be very happy to have such a lovely daughter.
"Lin, you have a very lovely daughter. A tourist shouted.
"Thank you, there's no doubt about that. Lin Qirong nodded and smiled, accepted this praise without modesty, and won everyone's applause again.
Lin Qirong continued, "Today we drove on Highway 66, which records the great history of the United States and symbolizes the freedom, courage and enterprising spirit of the United States, and came to this tavern full of western style, and we feel very happy to meet so many friends from all over the world.
Just as Michael Wallis, a great scholar of the United States, said: Highway 66 is like a mirror to the Millican nation, and it symbolizes the arduous journey of the great American people.
As a Chinese, this point has deeply touched us, because in the past so many years, we have also gone through this hard way, from backwardness to strength. β
The visitors in the audience responded with a round of applause, which is why they came to Route 66, and even the tavern owner and waiters whistled.
"I like you, man. β
Lin Qirong's words have been recognized by them, and Route 66 and the western cowboy spirit it represents are their pride.
"I like you too, man. Lin Qirong waved his hand and said with a smile, "We in China have been hospitable since ancient times, and you are welcome to come to China in the future to have a look and take a walk, I believe you will not be disappointed." β
"We'll go. β
"The mysterious ancient country of the East, I must go to it in the future. β
People shouted one after another, and Lin Qirong's humorous performance was recognized by them.
It seems that the Chinese people are not as good as others say.
"Next, I will give you a song from our Chinese country, "Blue Lotus", which is also yearning for freedom. β
After Lin Qirong finished speaking, he gently played the guitar in his hand.
"Nothing can stop you,
Your yearning for freedom,
A whimsical career,
Your heart is free of concernΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
The melody is like the sunshine of spring, warm and innocent, and Lin Qirong's singing is like the sunshine after the wind and rain, directly penetrating people's chests, warm and inspiring.
"The world of freedom in my heart,
So clear and lofty,
Bloom and never wither,
Blue Lotus Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
There are no heart-rending screams, and there is no fanatical sensationalism, Lin Qirong's singing voice is full of peace, but it sings a story of chasing dreams with excitement.
"Through the dark years,
I also felt hesitant,
The moment you look down,
Only then did I realize the road under my feet,
The world of freedom in my heart,
So clear and lofty,
Bloom and never wither,
Blue Lotus Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
A person, a guitar, and a song are sung in a calm and peaceful tone, but they shake the hearts of countless people and give people strength.
The tourists, who were still holding wine glasses and preparing to watch the excitement, stopped their movements and looked at Lin Qirong on the stage in a daze.
They may not understand Chinese, but they can understand the tune, understand the feelings that Lin Qirong gave to this song, and understand the artistic conception contained in it, which inspires everyone to strengthen their beliefs and pursuits in the dark years of setbacks, and walk bravely on the road of life.
Music is the art of communicating the heart, and at this moment, they were deeply moved by Lin Qirong's singing.
"I seem to have seen him somewhere. A tourist muttered, and after thinking about it for a while, it dawned on him, "I know, he is Lin, a superstar in Huaxia, and there are many, many excellent songs." β
"I also know him, he seems to have a super good daughter, who once performed at the New Year's concert in the Golden Hall, and seems to have won a very important international award some time ago, and my daughter also practices piano, so I have heard of it. β
"It's the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. Another visitor said, "It just happened in Texas, and his daughter won a gold medal." β
"That's right, take your daughter to Texas and drive around Route 66, that's it. β
"It turned out to be a superstar, it seems that I have indeed heard that there is such a singer in Huaxia, although it is not as famous as Erica and Aldrich, but now listening to his singing, it is indeed very picturesque, and his strength is really good. β
"I didn't expect to meet a superstar here, I'm so lucky. β
In a short period of time, Lin Qirong's identity was clearly understood by the tourists in the tavern, and it was understandable that Lin Qirong could bring such a moving song.
Superstar, although he is from China, his strength is indeed very powerful.
Not only do there are star chasers in China, but there are also star chasers in foreign countries, but they care more about the singer's works.
Unconsciously, Lin Qirong has added a lot of fans, and they are fans from all over the world.
At the end of a song, people raised their glasses and shouted, "Hey, Lin, you're a superstar." β
Lin Qirong smiled, "I am indeed a little famous in Huaxia, but now I am an ordinary tourist like everyone else."
But if you need an autograph or a photo or something, I'd love to. β
"I sang it very well just now, how about another song?"
"Yes, one more song. β
"Man, one more song. The tavern owner shouted, "Sing one more, and then I'll invite you to drink, and everybody will love your singing." β
Lin Qirong shrugged, "It's okay for me to do another song, but it doesn't seem very kind to you, boss, you just invited me, it will make everyone hate me, if you want to invite the audience." β
"Haha, Lin is right, boss, you can't favor one over the other. β
"Boss, if you want to perform as a superstar, you have to pay a little price. If you look back and hang a picture of him performing here, maybe a lot of his fans will come and make a lot of money. β
"Okay. The boss shrugged and said, "You sing another song, and I'll invite everyone in the audience to have a drink, so it's okay, right?"
"The boss was arrogant. The crowd cheered.
What they care about is not such a glass of wine, but the joy that comes from it, which are all good memories of their journey.
"Since the boss is so generous, then I'm embarrassed not to show it. Lin Qirong smiled, "This time I will bring a piece of music from our hometown, I hope you like it." β
This time, he chose to play a song "The Original Scenery of Hometown" on the ocarina, and the beautiful melody echoed in the tavern, which made the tavern that was still noisy quiet all of a sudden, quietly watching Lin Qirong play, and couldn't help but have scenes in his mind.
The owner of the bar remembered what happened when he was a child, and remembered the stories his grandfather told him, which belonged to the era of the western cowboy, the best era.
"It's worth it. He muttered under his breath.
After Lin Qirong finished performing the song, he said to the audience.
"Thank you all for your support and thank you for the generosity of the owner. Since we were able to meet here, and it was our fate, I invite you to have another drink, including the boss. β
"Good. Everyone applauded, "Lin, I'm starting to like you." β
"Thank you. Lin Qirong shrugged, "But my sexual orientation is normal, and I already have a very beautiful girlfriend." β
"Haha. β
"Lin, you have a very good sense of humor, and you don't look like the Chinese people we know. β
Lin Qirong nodded, "It's true, we Chinese people advocate pragmatism, like to do things in a down-to-earth manner, not so open, but this does not mean that we are not easy to contact, in fact, we Chinese people are the most hospitable people in the world, if you have time to go to Huaxia for a walk, you will definitely be able to feel their enthusiasm." β
"Okay, I'll go. β
Lin Qirong walked off the stage with a smile, returned to his seat, and made a victory gesture with Tongtong.
"Victorious mission accomplished. β
"Yay. β
Tongtong stretched out his hand and high-fived him, "Dad is amazing, everyone has been conquered by you." β
Lin Qirong smiled silently, it was a good experience to encounter such a thing during the journey.
When they were about to go back, many tourists waved goodbye to them and had a very good impression of them.
When I was ready to leave the next morning, there were still many people who came up to talk and make an appointment to set off together, and some tourists who had already been here a few times offered to be their tour guides.
As a result, when they set off again, they were no longer alone in one car, but more than a dozen cars set off together, and the atmosphere was much warmer all of a sudden.
In this way, they drove on Route 66 and crossed a long journey, and together they saw the Devil's Rope Museum, Cadillac Ranch, the Grand Canyon of Colorado, the crater, the midpoint of Route 66, the thousand-year-old Indian village, Elmer's bottle tree farm and other famous landscapes, and tasted the ugly pie of the mid-point coffee. Famous delicacies such as superstar steaks at the Greater Texas Steak Ranch gave a taste of the western towns, saw the famous attractions that appeared in the movie, and finally arrived at the end of this time at noon on the third day: Santa Monica Beach in California.
"Lin, I'll see you again when I have a chance, and I'll come to play with us when I'm free. β
The friends I met along the way and Lin Qirong hugged each other goodbye, and in the past few days, they have become good friends.
"If you have the opportunity to go, if you travel to Huaxia, remember to find me, I promise not to disappoint you. β
Tongtong also said goodbye to her new friends, and she made a lot of good friends during this journey, all over the world.
It was a very memorable trip for her.
