Chapter 26, Memories Are Like Balloons

Li Dali is not a person from Beijing, he is also an outsider. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoHis hometown is in the far north of China, a beautiful and clean city as ice and snow.

Eight years ago, he came to Shangjing alone with a broken acoustic guitar on his back to pursue his dream.

He has no background, no money, the difficulty of coming to Beijing alone can be imagined, the first two years, because of the support of his dreams, he is full of energy, cruising in the night clubs of major bars, hoping to have a stage for himself to realize his dreams.

His voice is very explosive, in the first two years, he was very popular in major night bars, each time the appearance fee was more than four figures, a month, although the income is not much, but it is enough for him to live in Beijing.

But he is a person with a dream, unwilling to be a bar night singer, two years, he has a certain savings, and began to prepare his own album.

But a singer like him, who has no background at all and is not very handsome, major record companies will not accept him at all, although he has encountered countless walls, but he is not discouraged at all, he has always believed that sooner or later he will have his own place in this Chinese music scene.

Although no record company was willing to release his record, he did not give up at all, and later he made a decision to use the hundreds of thousands of dollars he earned in the past two years to release his own record.

It is much easier to release records at his own expense than to find those companies, and in less than two months, his records came out, but reality gave him a heavy blow, and the records that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars were not popular at all and could not be sold at all.

Li Dali was not reconciled to this, and finally he directly used a tricycle to pull the cart of records to sell on the street, but it was useless, and after a month, looking at the records piled up in the rental house, Li Dali wanted to cry without tears.

This incident hit Li Dali quite hard, and he once doubted whether his dream was wrong and whether he was suitable to go on this road.

After this incident, Li Dali was in that state of decadence for a whole year. So much so that later, he was so poor that he couldn't even pay the rent, and even spent two months on the street.

This experience smoothed out Li Dali's edges and corners all at once, and finally he had to return to his old business and choose to go to those bars to sing, but a year has passed, the market has changed a lot, and those bars and night clubs that originally regarded him as a treasure did not sell his face at all.

No one wanted him to sing at all.

In this way, it was another year of intermittent work, and he had reached the point where he could not sing, and this round of blows completely crushed him, and he was disappointed, confused, and even desperate.

He had thought about leaving Shangjing countless times, but in the end he still didn't leave, as for the reason, he himself didn't know, maybe because of unwillingness, or maybe because of something else.

Later, in order to make a living, with the help of a friend, Li Dali left the industry, completely gave up his dream, and by borrowing money from everywhere, he bought a taxi, and since then he has become one of the thousands of taxi drivers in the metropolis of Shangjing.

Slowly, the original ambition and the original dream ship completely disappeared from Li Dali's life, and he gradually became an ordinary person.

And at this moment, when Fang Jue sang this song in his hoarse and low voice, the memory that was sealed by Li Dali's own dust, as if the estuary of the embankment had burst, poured wildly, like the flood beast, like the pouring rain, and shattered Li Dali's stone-like heart.

Li Dali stood there, his body trembling constantly, and a picture flashed in front of his eyes that made him extremely clear but deliberately forgotten.

……

The café and square are three blocks away

It's like a neon sign with the distance to the moon

People comfort and hug each other as they struggle

Looking for and chasing the broken dreams that are dying

We laugh here, we cry here

We live here and die here

We are praying here, we are here confused

We seek here, and we lose here

Shangjing, Shangjing

……

Hearing this, Li Dali was already in tears.

……

If one day I have to leave

I want people to bury me here

I can feel my presence here

There's so much to love here

……

Most of the people who come here to listen to the song today are classmates of Wu Yun and others, they don't have the same experience as Li Dali, and they haven't experienced the cruel torture of society.

Although they were also shocked by this song and felt the emotion brought by this song, they were far less deeply felt than Li Dali.

Su Jiaying, Chen Ning, and Huang Xin are all from wealthy families, and they haven't experienced much, so when they saw that a man like Li Dali burst into tears because of this song, the three of them were stunned, and they didn't know why the uncle in front of them was so moved.

Su Jiaying is a sensual person, she couldn't help but feel a little sentimental when she saw Li Dali crying so heartbreakingly, as for the reason for the sentimentality, she didn't know, but she felt as if there was a thorn in her heart that was constantly being torn apart.

Teacher Chen Ming, who was sitting opposite Li Dali, was also sluggish at the moment, although it was not as obvious as Li Dali, but the shock in his heart was not weaker than Li Dali.

He has been teaching at the Shangjing Conservatory of Music for more than 20 years and has met a lot of big names, he can be regarded as the kind of successful person, but he is not like Chen Ning and others, who were born in wealthy families.

He came from a small village, and his family ran out of money in order to provide for him to go to college, and after graduating from college, he did not immediately enter the conservatory as a teacher, but experienced a rather miserable time, and Fang Jue's song immediately reminded him of the unspeakable days more than 20 years ago.

Once the deliberately forgotten memory is pulled away, it can no longer be closed.

It's like a balloon full of gas, once punctured, the gas inside will definitely be completely discharged.

After singing a song, the restaurant is quiet.

The ignorant students looked at Fang Jue in surprise, and several uncles trembled all over, and some unbearable tears flowed directly into their faces, just like Li Dali at this time.

And as a singer, Fang Jue was also in a state of mind at this time, every time he sang this song, he would think of his confused years.

The road of life is full of beauty, some people are confused, some people are disappointed, some people laugh, some people are in pain, and some people are even desperate to give up their lives.

When everything is gone, everything becomes a memory, only one thing is still real, although confused, although disappointed, although laughing, although painful, but it is always best to live.
