The café that Qin Yun opened on the pedestrian street is called "South of the Clouds". On Tuesday morning, Fang Yan and Yuan Yuan sat on the second floor of the café, Yuan Yuan did his homework and Fang Yan read a book.

The book Fang Yan reads is called "The Catcher in the Rye", and the protagonist is called Holden, who is a middle school student. He was expelled from school and wandered around New York City for several days. Holden wanted to be a catcher in the wheat field, because the children were running in the wheat field with cliffs on the side, and he wanted to protect the children.

The book was written in a deviant manner, with a lot of swear words and all kinds of dark sides of the city, and was boycotted for a time. Later, it became an immortal masterpiece. "Wheat Field" is considered a reading book for middle school students, and Fang Yan has not read any books in prison, and he is making up for it.

There was still a chapter left in the novel, Fang Yan put the book aside, took out a pen and paper, and wrote slowly.

Yuan Yuan peeked at him a few times, quietly took off his shoes, and lightly stepped on Fang Yan's knee with one foot, hot and soft.

"Public places, pay attention to your image. Fang Yan said.

"What are you doing?"

"Write songs. ”

"What song to write?"

"Well, I'm writing about a flock of ducks. ”

In "The Rye Field," it is written that there is a lake in Central Park in New York, and there are many wild ducks in the lake. The protagonist, Holden, asks others one after another, where did the ducks go when winter comes, and is there a truck to transport them?

He asked over and over again, and it was annoying.

A childish question. Adults have so many things to worry about that they don't care about the lives and deaths of the ducks. Fang Yan felt that this plot was more interesting than the "Watchman" part. He's going to write it into a song.

In the freezing New York of the 1950s, there was a half-grown young man who thought about the wild ducks, how nice.

"Bad guy, will the duck be ambiguous?"

"What ambiguity?"

"......" Yuan Yuan's face slowly turned red, getting redder and redder. She put her feet back, lowered her head and didn't speak, and Fang Yan also understood.

It's hard to write songs.

This song was written for He Yu. Fang Yan felt that her works were too few and needed better songs. Fang Yan hadn't written a song before, he just improvised it in prison and made it up. When I actually went to write songs, it was very easy.

The duck is a fat, stray animal that can be seen everywhere. Fang Yan turned the duck into a wild cat, and it was finally done.

In the song "Wild Cat", many wild cats froze to death in winter, but Fang Yan didn't write it explicitly, just asked over and over again. It's more felt that way.

Fang Yan took another blank piece of paper, wrote down the melody sheet and chords, and copied the lyrics again. I used my mobile phone to focus carefully, took a photo, and sent it to He Yu.

After lunch and sending Yuan Yuan back to school, Fang Yan went to the nearby German-Italian University to find Yang Zhenyu. Zhenyu said that the school had a band rehearsal in the afternoon, so let him watch it together.

After chatting with Mr. Ma Shengguang for a long time yesterday, Fang Yan has changed a lot.

Having seen the mountains, he longs to become stronger.

Before this, Fang Yan just wanted to practice the piano, sing and read step by step. But now he understands that this is not enough. He wants to watch more performances and absorb all kinds of things.

The German-Italian University, a century-old famous school, has a very powerful school gate, with two stone lions. Yang Zhenyu and the tiger also poked at the door.

Fang Yan was afraid of being recognized, so he took out his glasses and put them on.

Outcome...... Yang Zhenyu looked at him for a long time and said that he almost didn't dare to recognize it.

The three of them walked to the school's small hall. Yang Zhenyu said that in early May, the school was going to hold a music festival, and the rock band had a special performance. Now the chapel has been vacated for rehearsals for various bands.

"How many bands do you have in your school?"

"Rock bands, almost 20. ”

So many?Fang Yan was a little surprised. But it's right to think about it, there are tens of thousands of undergraduates in a university, 20 bands, and about 100 people, which is not a high proportion. He asked, "Do you perform?"

"Originally, it was going to be acted. ”

Tiger added: "Master, then you struck us all down, and we withdrew. ”

“……”

The small auditorium is not small, large enough to accommodate 1,000 people. The stage was spacious, with a band tinkering with equipment, and dozens of people were sitting in the audience.

Tiger's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the person in the middle of the stage and said that this was the next president of the guitar association and the first guitar master in the school, named Pingyuan. The name of this band is "Shura", and Hirahara is the lead guitar and one of the lead singers.

"We have four major guitar masters in Jiangdong City, and Ping Yuan is 22 years old, which is the youngest. Tiger described in detail.

Yang Zhenyu said: "Go, go, you don't bother the tiger." ”

"Also, the plain chased Xia Mo. ”

"Forehead ......"

Ping Yuan is one year higher than Yang Zhenyu and has already been researched. When he was a sophomore on the plain, he pursued Xia Mo for a while, but he didn't succeed. Since then, Yang Zhenyu has hated him. The German-Italian University is partial to science and engineering, and there are more wolves and less meat, which is actually nothing.

Plain short hair, dyed blue-purple on the front, and wearing stud earrings.

After a while, the band was tuned, and Pingyuan began to play the guitar alone, with a little distortion, a chorus effect, the sound was very warm, and the speed was super fast. He used an Ibanez double lyre.

Yang Zhenyu asked, "How is he playing?"

"Good. ”

Fang Yan thought, Pingyuan is probably slightly worse than Xu Yong, and he is definitely a master.

Yang Zhenyu leaned back in his seat, sighed, and said, "It's so unfair." ”

"What's wrong?"

"Class Gap ......"

Yang Zhenyu said that Pingyuan's guitar was bought from abroad, and he bragged about it for a while after counting the tax of 24,000. The members of the Shura band are very wealthy, well-equipped, and have the resources of the Guitar Association, and they have credits to get every semester.

The Shura band has the money to rent a rehearsal room, or occupy the school's premises to rehearse. The Waste Wood Band can only rent a small dilapidated building in an urban village, how can it be compared?

Fang Yan smiled and listened to Yang Zhenyu's complaints, and gradually, he couldn't laugh anymore.

He's right.

China is a country with a huge gap between the rich and the poor, and the division of classes has long been over, and there is a clear distinction between the rich and the poor. In recent years, the proportion of rural children attending university has been decreasing. This is very scary, because reading is almost the only way for the poor to change their fate, and many people give up.

Fang Yan lives in an urban village, where the neighbors are small traders and young workers, and skyscrapers and high-end residences are just 1 kilometer away. It is too difficult for the poor to change their fate.

The same is true in college. Poor children and rich children living in the same dormitory will have a strong psychological impact.

Yang Zhenyu wants to be a band, but it is just a very small thing, but it also reflects a big problem. He is a child of an ordinary family, and he has to be careful to buy a musical instrument, and he can still complain. However, the classmates who are poorer than him don't even have the time and mood to play music.

Piano master Lu Dacheng said that music is too extravagant, and that's what it means. You walk down the street, and you are full of impetuousness.

This is also called the Matthew effect. The rich are getting richer and richer, and the poor are always poor. The Shura Band has money, and its technology is constantly improving, and it can already perform commercially and make money. But the Scrap Wood Band will always be scrap wood.

The world is inherently unfair. Fang Yan thought, isn't it the same in prison? Compared with prisons and society, universities are already quite fair. Yang Zhenyu's distress is not a problem at all in his opinion.

"You can play the piano well. ”

"When will I be able to surpass that second cargo?" Yang Zhenyu asked, pointing to the stage.

"A year. ”

Fang Yan was joking, he thought that if Yang Zhenyu played 12 hours a day a year and his fingers were not tired, he would definitely be able to surpass the plain. I didn't expect Yang Zhenyu to take it seriously.

"Really?" he exclaimed, excitedly. Voices echoed through the hall, and many people looked at him.

The guitar on stage stopped. Ping Yuan glanced at Yang Zhenyu and smiled contemptuously. He walked up to Mike and said, "Internet celebrities are here too?"

“……”

Pingyuan's voice revealed a sense of superiority, and said: "Internet celebrity, aren't you going to drop out of school, what are you still doing in school?"

"Idiot ......" Yang Zhenyu was furious.

Pingyuan said: "Waste wood is always waste wood." ”

Fang Yan looked through his glasses and carefully looked at the plain. Why are you so rampant?
