The show continues.

It was Su Yin's turn. This is a typical Chinese style poem, written about the old Jade Sea. It is the faint sadness of the white walls and black tiles, written about the old turntable, the old suitcase, the old time that has disappeared......

Its name is "Jade Sea 1943".

The gentle music begins, and time seems to begin to slow down in Su Yin's singing, and the scene returns to Yuhai 1943, which is distinctive in that era.

"The yellowed couplets still remain on the wall

A few words can be vaguely seen, and the year is safe

In my hometown rice bowl that I haven't been back to

Grandpa wrote a full in block letters

Golden kudzu crawled all over the carved doors and windows

The setting sun is reflected obliquely on the mottled brick walls

The beech planks still fill the room

Grandma's bean paste made back then

I started imagining the black-and-white photo

What Mom and Dad looked like back then

The girl who spoke Wu Nong's soft language walked slowly across the Bund......"

Last Tuesday, the day after Su Yin had a nightmare, You Zishi went out to follow Fu Hao and the three of them back, and Su Yin was sitting cross-legged by the bedside and looking at the family photo album.

At that time, You Zishi noticed a photograph that was so beautiful that it broke his heart. In the photo, a young woman holding an oil-paper umbrella with her back to the camera, at the edge of a lake, watching the raindrops falling from the sky disturb the clear green lake, which is particularly soft.

Her face is not visible, because not only is she facing away from the camera, but half of her body is obscured by an oil-paper umbrella. Through the fluttering and chaotic small rains in the picture, and the countless pits on the lake surface that have been hit by the raindrops, this photo is still and moving.

You Zishi looked at this photo and couldn't take her eyes off it for a long time.

The gentle and jade-like atmosphere conveyed by the woman in the photo made Youzi's poem feel deeply touched by the inexplicable wonder.

Su Yin said that the woman was her grandmother.

Su Yin's grandmother in the photo is also eighteen years old at this time, which is the same age as Su Yin's current age......

On the back of the photograph, there are several crooked handwritten words that have become blurred: February 5, 1943......

This day is the day Su Yin's grandmother was born!

The immature handwriting written with a marker pen on the back of the photo is, in fact, Su Yin's "masterpiece" many years later In order to keep her grandmother's birthday firmly in mind, because when she was about six or seven years old, she had unintentionally hurt her dear grandmother once, and she had promised her grandmother that she would surprise her on the day of her sixtieth birthday, so she had secretly saved the one yuan and one yuan coin she tried to get, however, a few months later, she really forgot that day, and, before that, she took the dozens of dollars she had saved to buy the tutoring books that the school asked to buy......

On my grandmother's birthday, my grandmother asked Su Yin, where is my birthday gift, what about the surprise?

Su Yin panicked and remained silent.

Grandma smiled again, didn't you say that you wanted to save money to buy me a flower dress? Why, did you forget, it turns out that you are a big liar, and grandma is so disappointed......

Su Yin replied anxiously, Grandma, you are so old, why do you still need a skirt......

The whole room laughed. Everyone said that there was no taboo in children's words, don't take what she said as the same thing, and this matter is over. However, Su Yin, who had already become very sensible, obviously felt that her grandmother at that time was really disappointed, she really had expectations for herself, and she did not regard the few words she had promised before as child's play......

My 60-year-old grandmother is like a child sometimes. Her appearance has already begun to grow old, and her heart has begun to become very fragile, like Su Yin at that time, she has a lot of dependence on her family.

But Su Yin failed her......

So, that day, Su Yin later hid in the corner and silently felt sad, and then a room of adults was giving her grandmother's birthday at the same time, Su Yin secretly took a marker, and wrote down her grandmother's birthday one by one behind the photo of her favorite grandmother, to remind herself that she should never forget her dear grandmother's birthday in the future......

This photo was carefully kept by Su Yin and has been kept to this day......

Although it has been yellowed, it is the connection and proof of a small past between Su Yin from childhood to Su Yin from childhood to Su Yin to the present, and grandmother......

After seeing this photo and listening to Su Yin's narration, You Zishi was very touched, and even almost cried, after all, this kind of emotional connection with family is a common language for everyone, people are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless, even if they are not their closest relatives, but many times, they can also empathize.

Su Yin said that her grandmother was the kind of woman who raised her eyebrows very traditionally, was a very gentle woman, and taught her good cooking......

Su Yin looks very similar to her, and when she gets older, she likes to eat pumpkin seeds......

Grandma had a good temperament when she was young, she was a heartthrob, she received many love letters, and later there was a book and newspaper box hidden in the house, which contained many letters written by her grandfather to her, word by word, stroke by stroke, all of which belonged to their generation in that era of a simple and beautiful love......

You Zishi can feel what kind of love is poured out between the lines, and how the handwritten letters touch each other's hearts between a pair of young lovers......

It was a difficult era, but it was also an era that filled future generations with admiration and envy......

Although You Zishi doesn't know much about Su Yin's grandmother, at least from these small details, she can make a wonderful connection with Su Yin's grandmother, so You Zishi prepared this unique Chinese-style song for Su Yin, which just fits Su Yin's affection and miss for her grandmother, and sings her grandmother's heart into the song, so that she can express herself freely and without regrets, so that her grandmother can hear it......

In this way, perhaps Su Yin will no longer be in a daze and silent all the time. Many times, the longing for your loved ones is a depressed emotion, no one can talk about it, no one can trust it, you don't want to be hysterical in front of others, let alone cry in front of outsiders, you will find that confiding is sometimes very pale, all you don't want to say......

At times like these, putting those emotions in the song is the best move. In this way, quietly, without showing traces, without sensationalism, without deliberateness, just all that can be said, what cannot be said, a thousand words or thousands of thoughts are all transformed into songs, and it is enough to sing them, just sing them......

As for whether you cry, laugh, or be moved after singing, it's understandable, let it be!

Moved by a song, there is nothing to criticize.

That's why human beings need songs, they need to sing!

"Shanghai 1943", a work by Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan, where Su Yin's singing is Shi Aimin's version.
