Chapter 218: The Past

()'Idiopathic upper limb localized dystonia?' Sir, what's wrong with this? Why don't I understand? Is the manifestation of this condition arm weakness? Ye Zi frowned slightly and asked.

Sun Yun took over the question.

The symptom is that there is no strength in the hands, and I can't control it. Sun Yun was still able to describe the symptoms with a smile: "Xiao Yezi, you also know that professional performers have extremely high requirements for dynamic control. And my problem is that I can't control it, so I ...... So that's all there is to it. β€˜

'That'...... Then you can continue to command. Ye Zi was also anxious for Sun Yun: "The strength required to conduct is much smaller than that of piano performance, and Sir is right, you are still so young, it is a pity to give up your career!" β€˜

Facing Ye Zi, Sun Yun showed an infinitely melancholy expression for the first time.

'I want to too, little leaf! Sun Yun said abruptly: "But since last year, no, now it should be said that since the year before, this symptom has become more and more obvious." I can still command for a short time, but after a long time of command, my body can withstand it, but my arms can't bear it. β€˜

'Teacher, I'...... I'm already powerless. β€˜

Sun Yun smiled bitterly and continued.

Command requires that gestures and instructions must be clear and in place, and this is something I can't do anymore. β€˜

Shaking his head, Sun Yun leaned back in his chair quietly and closed his eyes in pain.

Ye Ziran was silent.

From Sun Yun's description, it can be known that after suffering from this disease, unless he is cured, no matter how he plays any instrument, he will definitely not be able to do it. Even commanding such a work that consumes a little arm strength, Sun Yun is reluctantly difficult.

Such a blow is enough for any professional musician to destroy him completely. Sun Yun can still look at his condition calmly. can also change fields to make a career in pop music, and he can also accept Ye Zi, a student, and cultivate him carefully, which already shows his strength.

'Sun Yun is really unlucky, it's a pity! Ye Zi, you still don't know how powerful your Teacher Sun Yun used to be, right? Let me tell you about it. β€˜

Cai Qingde said quietly: "Sun Yun is a genius boy who has not been seen in the Xiangjiang piano and music circles for decades, and he collaborated with the Xiangjiang Festival Orchestra at the age of fifteen. The first special concert was held. The repertoire consisted of two well-known piano concertos: Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor and Saint-SaΓ«ns' Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor, which I conducted at the time. β€˜

The concert was a huge success. Subsequently, he received invitations to many prestigious conservatories, including the Curtis Institute of Music in country M, the Hamburg Conservatory in country G, and the national conservatory of music in country F. β€˜

Sun Yun chose the National Conservatory of Music in country F, and at the age of sixteen, he traveled to the west alone. β€˜

Speaking of which, I had a big argument with him about choosing a college. I think he will go to country M, and he himself must go to country F. Hehe. Xiao Yezi, you don't know, when your teacher Sun Yun was young, he was very stubborn. β€˜

Smiling and shaking his head, Cai Qingde fell into memories again.

Sun Yun still sat there quietly, motionless.

As it turned out, Sun Yun's vision was better than mine. β€˜

Ever since he came into contact with the piano, he has always liked the German-Austrian system, hmm. This is what we just said about the performance of the pianists of the Vienna School. After going to country F, he met Felescher, a visiting professor at the academy at the time. and became his personal disciple. β€˜

After studying in country F for five years, Sun Yun graduated with the first place in three college competitions within five years. This achievement is rare among Westerners, not to mention Chinese. Immediately after graduation, Sun Yun began his short but brilliant career as a professional pianist. β€˜

In just a few years, Sun Yun became famous in the Western classical music scene. He has collaborated with many masters on Beethoven's works. It has been unanimously praised by the classical music scene. β€˜

From Feleischer, Sun Yun learned the purest and closest to the real Beethoven. Do you know Xiao Yezi, in the Western classical music scene, Sun Yun is evaluated as the authority on interpreting Beethoven's works among the young generation of pianists after the war? β€˜

'This evaluation. is no weaker than his teacher, Mr. Felescher. If Sun Yun is given a few more years, it is not impossible to surpass Mr. Felescher. β€˜

But...... Alas! β€˜

Speaking of which, Cai Qingde's regret can no longer be accurately described in words. With a long sigh, Cai Qingde shook his head and said nothing.

Sun Yun reopened his eyes, his eyes became gentle and calm again, and his mind regained its calm in a short time.

This made Ye Zi admire from the bottom of his heart.

Put yourself in their shoes, Ye Zi felt that he might not be able to do this.

This kind of peace and stability in the state of mind is exactly what Ye Zi needs to learn in the future.

It was at the beginning of '79 that I had this kind of arm weakness and I couldn't control my strength for the first time. I happened to catch a cold, so I didn't take it seriously. β€˜

Sun Yun himself took half of Cai Qingde's story and continued to talk about it.

Then the symptoms went away and I forgot about it. Sun Yun smiled faintly, as if he was not talking about his own condition: "After more than a year, I became ill again." That time I had to go to three cities in a week, and I was in a hurry. The first two sessions were fine, but by the time of the third rehearsal, that feeling came back and the rehearsal was not even completed. Later, as a last resort, the performance was temporarily canceled. β€˜

I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said that it was muscle cramps caused by over-fatigue, and told me to rest. However, the performance contract has been signed a long time ago, and if you push it off, it is not only a matter of money, but also the qiΔ“ that you have won in the music industry in those years may be lost. So after a while, I had to continue on my way. β€˜

Later, by the time it got back on, it was too late. The doctor directly judged me that the road to professional virtuoso had come to an end. β€˜

Sun Yun shook his head helplessly: "Xiao Yezi, you must pay attention to this in the future, don't accept the performance contract too much, and leave yourself a little more time to rest." β€˜

The expression on Sun Yun's face gradually became stricter.

'The pressure on a professional performer is too great, and the continuous transitions are tiring, and if you don't pay attention, there are many unpredictable situations. If you get tired of a problem like mine, then this life is basically ruined. β€˜

'Little Yezi, you must remember what I told you today. β€˜

Looking at Ye Zi tightly, Sun Yunyan was extremely sΓΉ.

'Yes, teacher, Ye Zi remembered. Ye Zi also replied to Sun Yun sternly.

Cai Qingde eased up, and then said in a deep voice: "Xiao Yezi, you must not be inappropriate, your teacher Sun Yun is a lesson from the past." Professional performers and professional conductors are all people with a high incidence of occupational diseases, and if they don't take it to heart because they are young, some will suffer in the future. β€˜

'Sir, I must remember. Thank you, Sir. β€˜

Cai Qingde's kindness deserves Ye Zi's repeated thanks.

Turning to Sun Yun, Ye Zi's expression remained stern, and he had just made a decision in his heart.

"Teacher, you know that I have been practicing boxing since I was a child, and I have been practicing qigong for almost ten years. If you agree, I would like to use Qigong to give you a pulse. β€˜

'Huh? Do you also know qigong? Really? Cai Qingde was surprised.

Sun Yun smiled and stretched out his hand and put it on the coffee table: "Xiao Yezi is a family heirloom, don't you think that the breath when he sings is like endless?" That's the benefit of his qigong practice. β€˜

'Come on, little leaf, and see if you can build something.' What do I need to do? β€˜

'This ......'

Ye Zi glanced in the direction of the housekeeper out of the corner of his eye. Cai Qingde immediately understood, waved his hand, and asked the housekeeper and servants to all step back.

'This ...... Did it work? Cai Qingde said suspiciously.

He had heard a lot about qigong, but except for some hard qigong, he was sure that he really existed, and he had never heard of qigong that Ye Zi said that he could take the pulse to explore the disease. Seeing that Ye Zi was so young again, Cai Qingde couldn't believe it at all.

Sun Yun believed in his disciple very much: "Just let Xiao Yezi try it, it won't hurt anyway." Now that I'm like this, how bad can I be? What do you say, sir? β€˜

Cai Qingde smiled and nodded: "That's the same." Xiao Yezi, then let my old man open his eyes. β€˜

'Sir, I'll be very careful, don't worry. Ye Zi then said: "Teacher, just try to relax, I will introduce the internal qi into your body to probe, it may be a little itchy, you bear with it." β€˜

'Internal qi? Is that really the case? Cai Qingde was shocked. Sun Yun was also full of questions.

Ye Zi nodded with a smile: "Teacher, you will know in a moment. β€˜

As he spoke, Ye Zi stretched out the three fingers of his right hand, index finger, middle finger, and ring finger, and gently placed them on the Neiguan acupoint at a distance of two inches on the horizontal stripe on Sun Yun's left wrist.

The mind is introduced, Ye Ziti. The true qi inside immediately extended inward from the Neiguan acupoint in Sun Yun's wrist along the route of the meridians.

Ye Zi gently closed his eyes. (To be continued.) )
