Chapter 1: The Death of a Famous Singer

Next Chapter

Genius is mostly accompanied by a sensitive and fragile heart, and when he finally realizes that his small self cannot resist the torrent of the whole world, he falls into a bottomless despair.

Despair is followed by death.

Sometimes, Shen You will also make a foolish wish to the meteor, begging God to turn himself into a peerless genius with amazing beauty.

So, he died, died of a natural disaster.

Meteors streaked by, taking him with them to pierce the sky.

Around late autumn, the warm sunlight shone in through the clear glass window, and a very delicate-looking man in a gorgeous costume was lying peacefully on the double bed by the window.

The pure white sheets, the crimson costumes, are as gorgeous as a touch of blood on the snow.

He has beautiful eyebrows, a high nose, soft lips and subtle lines.

Ten fingers as slender as shallots interlaced, hands flat between the lower abdomen, elegant pastels painted all over the face, painted a haggard makeup, eyes kept tightly closed.

The Vanishi gramophone in the bedroom was still playing a babbling sound on a loop, which was the prelude to the Peking Opera, singing the story of the overlord and Yu Ji.

I don't know how long it took, but the long eyelashes of the man in the costume moved slightly, as if he had woken up quietly.

"Damn, Lao Tzu must have practiced too much Ah Wei's eighteenth style, and there will be hallucinations in broad daylight, I actually saw the meteor in the sky with flames coming down directly at me!

But where is that?

Why is Lao Tzu here?"

Seeing the completely unfamiliar environment around him, Shen You's expression was a little puzzled.

However, he was not at all timid, and sat up directly from the double bed and began to walk around the room.

"Yu Ji (white): The king's generous and sad song makes people cry. When the concubine sings and dances, how about chatting to relieve her worries?

Xiang Yu (white): Alas!

Yu Ji (white): So, the concubine is making a fool of herself!

……”

The gramophone was still playing Mr. Mei's song "Farewell My Concubine".

Listening to it, Shen You suddenly felt as if he had opened his mind, and he actually heard a lot of mysterious and mysterious insiders from this opera, and couldn't help but sing a few words softly:

"Persuade the king to drink and listen to songs,

Xie Jun was depressed and dancing.

Ying Qin has no way to break the country,

Heroes fight in all directions.

As the saying goes, don't deceive me,

Success or failure rise and fall in a flash.

Sit in the tent of drinking—"

His singing voice is very tactful, Xipi is two or six boards, with boards and eyes, a graceful posture, and a charming sword dance movement in his hands.

"It's an illusion again, I'm a man, not a woman, how can I be so girly?

Singing just now is definitely not my voice, and this big red dress is not the one I used to wear.

Also, my hands are not so delicate, so beautiful!

I have hallucinations in the blue sky and daytime, I must have taken the wrong medicine!"

Shen You couldn't fiddle with such an old object as a phonograph, so he quickly escaped from the bedroom where the magic sound was filled.

Shen You thought: If you meet the owner of the house in this room, explain it to the owner of this house.

If there was no one in the room, he was ready to sneak out.

Anyway, he didn't touch the things in the house, so he shouldn't have sued him for burglary, right?

This is a high-end residence of about 120 square meters, with simple decoration and harmonious colors, which is a retro Chinese style.

Everything in the room is neatly organized.

The bedroom, study and living room are all spotlessly cleaned, and it can be seen that the owner of this place is a person who loves neatness and even has a slight cleanliness habit.

In the center of the living room was a square glass table with three things, an empty wine glass, an open bottle of sleeping pills, and a handwritten letter.

Red wine and sleeping pills, the standard for suicide, and a desperate letter was left here, and the situation doesn't look good!

Shen You frowned and opened the letter.

Dr. Li Huixin said:

Huixin, thank you for your companionship and encouragement these days, I'm sorry, I really can't hold on!

It's been over two years since I've been suffering from this damn depression, and I really can't take it anymore with a low mood and insomnia all night.

I have done nothing wrong, so why should I bear this?

You advised me to always look at the bright side of things and not be too negative.

You praise me for my melancholy, noble and poetic, full of Taoist nihilism,

I also said that my inferiority complex had a universal classical tragic aesthetic significance.

I feel like you're coaxing me like a child!

I learned opera at the age of eight, became a famous teacher at the age of nine, performed on stage at the age of ten, and became a famous actor in Peking Opera at the age of thirteen.

I'm only twenty-two now, but I feel too old.

Four years ago, I stopped performing on stage.

I don't think the audience really likes Peking Opera, and I don't want to sing it to them.

Opera is an ancient art, it is too old, old to decay and decay, old to be lonely and self-appreciative.

There's nothing I can do about it!

You said you would ignite me with your passion, and you also said that there are many people in this world who love me.

Maybe!

I can't wait, though!

Thank you, Huixin, and thank you to all those who have loved me before.

May the world be well, and farewell!

Shen You's pen

26 November 2017. ”

"Shen You's pen, Shen You's pen! Hallucinations, they're all hallucinations, who the hell is playing with me, I'm going crazy!"

Shen You muttered a few words, and a burst of explosive roar suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Dad, please don't leave Xiaoyou and Mommy, okay?"

"Mom, I don't want to sing, I want to go to school, and I don't want to be a man!"

"Xiao You is obedient, you should follow Master Guan to learn drama!"

"Yo, prodigy, you can sing so well for the first time on stage, it's so young!"

"This makeup, this figure, this voice, Boss Shen is really amazing, it is simply the reincarnation of Mr. Mei!"

"Congratulations to Boss Shen, this time the Peking Opera Dan List is the top again!"

"Shen sealed the box today, and he won't sing on stage in the future!"

"Ahh

"Ayu, your melancholy is noble and very poetic. ”

……

It's painful to die!

Shen You held his exploding head in both hands, and the memories of the two lives began to slowly merge.

All the things I have experienced in my past and present lives, the books I have read, the songs I have heard, the movies I have watched......

It's all a freeze-frame storage frame that can't be divided.

After the boiling memory gradually cooled, Shen You exhaled softly.

It's a parallel space.

The history of nearly 4,000 years from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty has been extended, but it has only quietly turned around when it comes to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

Zhou Shizong Chai Rong did not die young as in his previous life, and Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin naturally did not have the opportunity to be in a yellow robe.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty fought with the Jin and Mongols at the border for hundreds of years, the Central Plains was never invaded by foreign enemies, and it was impossible to talk about the later Manchu Qing Dynasty.

However, the decline and decay of the feudal dynasty was also a common thing, and the policy of closing the country also made the Chai Zhou Dynasty suffer its own consequences.

The Great Voyage and the Industrial Revolution were in full swing in the West, and the First Opium War came in 1840.

The great powers came one after another, and the Great Zhou court ceded land and paid compensation.

In 1911, the Xinhai Revolution broke out, and in 1912, the last emperor Zhou Xianzong Chai An was forced to abdicate, and the feudal empire began with Ji Zhou and ended with Chai Zhou.

Then China experienced the Republic of China, the Red Revolution, the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Civil War......

With the founding of the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1949, history went round and round and finally returned to its absolutely correct track.

The Chai Zhou Dynasty in 961 years had several ups and downs, and some of the famous historical figures in the previous life still shined, while others died out, and so on.

These changes also directly led to the fact that many people and things have quietly changed since then.

So, this is a plausible new era in parallel space.

The level of entertainment development in this world is generally more prosperous than the world in which Shen You was before.

Pop music, novels, movies, and dramas have all reached the point where a hundred flowers are blooming.

Some of the more niche opera industries such as Peking Opera, Kunqu Opera, Qin Opera, and Yue Opera are still in decline, but the situation they face is not as bad as in their previous lives.

It's a pity that the speed of entertainment development is too fast, but the direction is crooked.

Blindly competing with Western culture in their field has lost the most authentic thing in Chinese culture.

Some of the essences of traditional Chinese culture that have been lost or abandoned.

As for the reason why the essence has never been lost, it is probably due to the disconnection of this world cultural history, only Han Fu and Tang poetry, and there is no Song Ci, Yuan Qu and Ming and Qing novels.

With a "click", a small flame ignited, and Shen You lit the original owner's suicide note with a lighter.

Watching a pile of ashes fall into the trash, Shen You filled the bathtub in the bathroom with water.

took off the red costume on his body, washed off the elegant pastel on his face, took a hot bath, and then changed into a black Tang costume from the wardrobe.

Looking at the handsome and feminine face in the mirror, Shen You couldn't help but praise again and again: "Tut-tut, Shen Yuelou, Shen Yuelou, your face is really a disaster for the country and the people!"

Shen Yuelou is Shen You's stage name in Liyuan.

has a tall figure, a handsome face, and because of more than ten years of Peking Opera training, Shen Yuelou has a clean and neat feminine temperament, and there is a beauty that blurs gender.

Shen You likes his current identity and his current face.

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary lover of literature and art, and his appearance belonged to the kind that he couldn't find if he was thrown in the pile of people.

Now, with such a good appearance and temperament, he only feels that he will wake up laughing when he dreams.

It's just that, smiling and smiling, Shen You suddenly sobered up.

"No, I don't think I'm missing some important information!"

Shen You patted his head, as if he had thought of something, and scolded in his heart: Damn, it's the end of the month, and I have to pay the rent!

Why did Shen Yuelou commit suicide, because he had no money to pay the rent!

Of course, this is a joke, but Shen Yuelou's financial situation is indeed very poor.

The house is rented, there is no money, no car, no work, and I have been living a hermit life in isolation.

In fact, Shen Yuelou had a lot of savings when he was popular in the past, but most of them were used by him to buy ancient books and cultural toys and buy goods.

"Alas, Shen Yuelou can live like a great immortal without eating fireworks in the world.

That's because he's a genius, he's been through everything, he's got that kind of spiritual realm.

But I can't, I'm just a layman, I want a house, a car, a girl!

Brother Lou, thank you for your amazing beauty and peerless talent,

Don't worry, I'll love them all as if they were my own, and then ......

Earn a lot of money $_$!"

After rummaging through the rooms for a while, I finally found two red tickets. Relying on them, Shen You dealt with a day's food.
