Volume 2 1999 Chapter 98 The Cantata

Women are emotional animals, and when dealing with emotional problems, this kind of animal behavior patterns cannot be interpreted by logical thinking.

In the eyes of men, women are usually unreasonable.

For example, when you are with your girlfriend or wife, have you ever encountered this situation, one second she was still in love with you, and the next second she suddenly became hysterical......

When many men encounter this situation, they will always struggle with a question: why?

If you ask her, chances are she won't get an answer.

Why? Because she didn't know why.

So, when you encounter this situation, don't dwell on why, but calm down and think about what she wants, or rather, what you can give her.

Maybe she just suddenly suffers from gains and losses, and at this time, a hug and a kiss can solve the problem the most.

Don't expect to touch her with your words or eyes, let alone reason with her, it's useless, because in this case a woman is blind in her eyes and deaf in her ears.

The only thing that can make her feel your presence is the sense of touch.

Li Yuan noticed Li Annie's strange appearance, walked to her side quietly, naturally took her hand, and said, "Let's go." โ€

With a simple action, the melancholy on Anne Lee's face instantly vanished.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

After walking around the museum until noon and having lunch, Li Yuan proposed to go singing.

Flushing, the city of music gardens.

This song city has a good environment and a complete repertoire.

The whole thing here is to refer to Chinese songs, and there are not many Chinese songs that can be found in KTV in other areas of New York.

Despite this, Anne Lee sat quietly on the side the whole time, with no intention of joining in.

Li Yuan didn't force her, and took turns with Avril to be Maiba.

Avril didn't mention anything about being a minor at this time, and drank a few bottles of beer in a row, her face flushed, and her spirits became more and more high.

"Come, Annie, sing a song too. โ€

Avril couldn't help but shove the microphone to Anne Lee.

"No, I can't sing. โ€

Li Annie hurriedly refused.

Avril refused to let her go, and repeatedly urged her to order a song.

"But there are very few songs I can sing......"

Li Annie trembled nervously and looked at Li Yuan for help.

Li Yuan smiled and said, "I'll order you a song, don't worry, you will definitely sing it." โ€

As he spoke, he flipped through the song catalog.

"Really. โ€

Li Yuan quickly found the target and laughed.

Li Yuan walked to the song table and searched according to the singer's name.

Avril leaned in to take a look.

"Paul Robertson?"

Avril had no impression of the singer at all, so she asked, "Who is he?"

"A famous black singer, the 'world singer' half a century ago. โ€

"Half a century ago?"

Avril became more and more confused, and she didn't understand why Li Yuan ordered such an old song, and he was also a male singer.

"Have you heard of it?"

Avril asked Anne Lee.

Li Annie shook her head, she also felt inexplicable.

Avril looked at the song table again, and Li Yuan happened to turn to the main repertoire.

"Cheerlie? No, what's this weird name?"

"It's up (cheelai). Li Yuan corrected her pronunciation, nodded back at Li Annie, and pressed the play button.

A familiar melody sounded......

Anne Lee was stunned.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Li Annie was stunned for a few seconds, then came back to her senses and looked at Li Yuan, seeing his encouraging eyes, so she opened her mouth and sang along with the music.

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ The Chinese nation has arrived, and at the most dangerous time, everyone is forced to let out the last roar......"

Yes.

This is a song that all Chinese will sing.

Its name is "March of the Volunteers".

"March of the Volunteers" is an episode of the movie "Children of the Storm" released in 1935, written by the film screenwriter Tian Han, composed by the famous musician Nie Er, and recorded and released by EMI Records in the same year.

In 1940, patriotic musician Liu Liangmo went to the United States to promote China's Anti-Japanese War and met Paul Robertson in New York. When asked about the situation of China's War of Resistance, Robertson said: "We blacks and Chinese people are also oppressed peoples, and we want to pay tribute to the Chinese people who resolutely resist Japan." I want to learn a few Chinese songs and sing the songs of the Chinese people to people all over the United States and the world. โ€

Liu Liangmo began to teach Robertson to sing Chinese songs word by word, including the "March of the Volunteers," which was already widely sung in China at the time.

After that, Paul sang the song in public, and the following year, recorded a cover album that included the song.

"Cheelai" is the name of this cover record.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

The song is not long and ends quickly.

Not long after the end, the door of the KTV box was suddenly pushed open.

Several young men and women crowded in.

"Excuse me......"

The young man at the head glanced at the environment in the room, his eyes fell on the face of Li Annie, who was holding the microphone, and asked in Chinese, "You were singing the national anthem just now?"

Anne Lee was a little nervous. "Yes, it's my ......"

The man bowed and said, "My name is Xu Jiajun, and several of them are Chinese students......

Xu Jiajun introduced a few international students with him, and said excitedly: "To be honest, I was scared just now, I didn't expect to hear the national anthem here, I looked for it just now, but I didn't find this song, I want to ask, how did you find it......"

Li Annie looked at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan explained with a smile.

"Cover, no wonder it feels a little different......"

Xu Jiajun suddenly realized.

He shook hands with Li Yuan and said, "You know a lot. โ€

"I also heard about it by chance, and I tried to find it, but I didn't expect to find it. โ€

"Can you put it again?"

"Absolutely. โ€

Li Yuan pressed the re-singing, and then, like several international students, began to sing.

There weren't enough microphones, and everyone was singing with their voices, but the penetrating singing still resounded through the box, drifting out along the open door.

After singing, there were more people in the box.

Thereupon......

Over and over again......

There were no people standing in the box for a long time, and even the corridor outside was packed, and the boss and staff of Song City all arrived, and then joined the chorus.

The passionate rhythm cleansed everyone's soul, every singer burst into tears, and some girls with soft personalities even cried with makeup.

In this way, over and over again, many people's voices gradually became hoarse, but no one wanted to stop.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

The chorus continued for almost an hour, until a girl choked out of excitement, and then stopped.

The boss of the song city arranged for someone to maintain order and guide the crowd, squeezed into the box himself, asked about the situation, and took Li Yuan's hand and thanked him again and again.

"Thank you, thank you......"

One after another, people came up one after another to shake hands with Li Yuan.

Finally, the excited crowd finally dispersed.

Xu Jiajun waited until the end before he stepped forward again.

"Thank you. โ€

Xu Jiajun solemnly bowed to Li Yuan.

Straightening up, Xu Jiajun said with emotion: "Thank you, I think everyone is like me and will never forget today." โ€

Li Yuan saw him so solemn and joked: "I won't forget, it's the first time in my life that I've received so many thanks, to be honest, I."

His hands were numb. โ€

"Haha. โ€

Xu Jiajun smiled.

After laughing, he said, "Would you like to have a drink?"

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Okay." โ€

Seeing that the two were leaving, the boss of the song city spoke.

"I've got good wine here, sit down, I'll get it!"

As he spoke, he motioned to the waiter to keep Li Yuan with his eyes, turned around and hurried away.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

The owner of the song city soon returned with a bottle of wine.

Good wine indeed.

This is a bottle of Henri-Jayer red wine from 1997.

When many people mention red wine, they will always mention 82 Lafite, which has been circulating on the Internet for a long time, so that in the minds of many people, 82 Lafite is the representative of top red wines.

In fact, Lafite 82 is indeed a high-end red wine, but it is still far from the top. Today, the price of a bottle of 82 Lafite is about 10,000 yuan, which is incomparable with the price of hundreds of thousands in the future.

However, the bottle of 97 Richburg Premium Dry Red in front of him is now priced at more than 13,000 dollars, which is converted into more than 100,000 yuan.

What's more, Henry Jay's Grand Cru wine is not something you can buy if you want to buy it at all.

Li Yuan was secretly speechless, thinking that the boss of the song city had made a bloody investment.

Li Yuan said to the boss of Gecheng: "There is a lot of room for appreciation of this wine, it would be a pity to drink it......"

The boss of the song city smiled: "Wine is for drinking, I don't have the habit of hiding wine, it was given to me by a friend, and I haven't found a chance to drink it, but today I caught up." โ€

The boss said so, and Li Yuan stopped stopping it.

His current "identity" is not suitable for entanglement in this kind of small money.

97-year-old wine, you have to wake up before drinking, and you have your own waiter to do this.

A few people sat down and chatted.

"The contemptible Qi Jiawei, whose ancestral home is Chaozhou, has been in the United States for almost 20 years. Little brother scared me today, I didn't even know there was a national anthem in the music library......"

"I'm sorry for your trouble. โ€

"I wish I had this kind of trouble every day. Qi Jiawei knocked on his chest and said with a smile: "I won't say much here, just because you made my song city a big limelight, I want to thank you." โ€

Xu Jiajun also smiled: "I'm afraid your business in the future of this song city will go to a higher level......

After chatting for a while, the wine sobered up.

Qi Jiawei personally poured it for a few people, and Avril and Annie Lee were not missing.

Li Yuan reminded the two girls with a smile: "This wine has to be tasted well, this is also Boss Qi's generosity, if you are me, you are reluctant to take it out." โ€

Avril was shocked to learn that a bottle of wine costs more than 10,000 dollars.

She endured it for more than an hour, and finally couldn't help it anymore at this moment, and asked, "Why can everyone sing that song just now?"

Li Yuan smiled: "That's the Chinese national anthem." โ€

"Ah, that's ......" Avril held back for a long time, and held back a sentence "Your national anthem is really hot......"

Blood?

Of course!

In those stormy years, those who turned the tide, who was not full of blood!

"It's really shocking......"

Xu Jiajun sighed: "I used to only resonate and even cry when I listened to Dvoล™รกk's "Symphony from the New World", and at that time I also told my friends that when would China have such shocking music, and now I know how ridiculous my ideas are......

Xu Jiajun raised his glass to Li Yuan: "Thank you for teaching me a lesson." โ€

Everyone raised their glasses and touched them.

Li Yuan took a sip of wine and said: "Dvoล™รกk's music has a strong nationalist color, and Mr. Xu will be moved to prove that he really loves his country and national ......."

"Is that so?" Xu Jiajun was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I really haven't explored the reason, speaking of which, it may have something to do with the situation at the time......
