Chapter 459: A Difficult Road
Alto Attached Middle School, No. 2 Music Building.
In Ling Yuan's exclusive Steinway room, a soft white light was gently shrouded in the huge Steinway nine-foot piano in the center.
The keys are opened, and a row of white keys as white as jade, and black and condensed black keys, are regularly staggered, with an indescribable beauty.
A pair of nimble, spiritually charged hands gently brushed over the keys, bringing a string of light and clear sounds. It's Liszt's "Dream of Love".
It's a simple piece that is no difficult for many professional performers. However, this piece is Liu Yufan's favorite tune. Whenever he plays this song, he can feel a wave of sunshine, positivity, pure beauty and many other positive emotions.
His fingers, like a loving mother caressing her beloved child, gently caressed each key. Yes, it's "stroking". The movement was so gentle, as if every key was alive, and the hands were afraid of hurting them. And the soft music, which seemed to be wrapped in a layer of milky white light veil, flowed out so naturally, from the contact between the ten fingers and the keys.
After playing the song "Dream of Love", Liu Yufan sighed with some satisfaction, stretched his waist, stood up and moved for a while. By now, he had been sitting at the piano for more than four hours. And this piece is also the one that appears the most times in the improvisations he plays at the end of each practice.
Four hours is not too long for him. During those days of practicing with Mo Yan, it was not uncommon for him to practice for more than ten hours a day. But now. He didn't have to practice so frantically. Because at his current level, there are no obstacles to the "technique" of piano technique, whether it is a high-speed cadenza as fast as a sixty-fourth note. There is no problem with octave techniques, or three or four creative pieces that test the brain. Now. Even if Mo Yan was standing by his side, it would be impossible for him to give him further beneficial guidance, because there was nothing left to teach him.
Being able to reach such a level in just four years is because of the foundation of Liu Yufan's previous life, and on the other hand, it is also related to the fact that he met a famous teacher like Mo Yan, which made him take many detours. But even so. Liu Yufan's progress speed is also amazing. However, as Mo Yan said, the current Liu Yufan has reached the second plateau in his piano progress. During this time, Liu Yufan felt the deepest feeling, no matter how hard he tried, he could no longer make an inch. Fortunately, he knew that there was such a thing as "altitude sickness". The mind is relatively peaceful, and there is no hurry.
At his current level, when he practices again, he will sharpen his mentality, understanding of music and other things that have nothing to do with skills. is the so-called "kung fu is outside the play", Liu Yufan is at the moment. It's like a martial arts master who is stuck at the top of this level, and if you want to successfully break through to the next level, what you need is an "epiphany". And this epiphany is unattainable, some lucky people may catch some inspiration in a moment and break through, while some people, in their lives, can only stop at this level. This level and the next level are the differences between "craftsman" and "teacher". At this moment, Liu Yufan is like a clever craftsman, proficient in all skills, but he can't be called a "teacher". Even in his heart, sometimes he can faintly feel the thin layer of window paper, but he just can't touch it.
He also knew that this was something that could not be rushed. Fortunately, even at his current level, it is quite competitive to participate in the "Liszt" Cup. Although Liu Yufan is not sure that he will be able to squeeze into the top three, at least he will not be a weak hand. To put it another way, if he was really a mediocre person, the living pianist Kissin would not have given him an admission ticket without exception. You must know that this qualification is not available to everyone. …,
"I don't know how Siying's girl is doing now." Closing the lid, Liu Yufan stood up, instinctively took out his mobile phone, and prepared to make a call to the little girl who was thousands of miles away. There is a saying that "Xiao Bie is better than the newlywed", two young people who have tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time and are in love, in the first few days of separation, every moment is extremely longing, and they can't wait to be together every minute and every second.
Far away on the other side of the ocean, Harvard University in the United States, a holy place for students from all over the world to yearn for, has just ushered in the first rays of morning light. In the villa-style high-end apartment dormitories, most of the students are still immersed in wonderful morning dreams and are reluctant to get up.
This is a high-end apartment area, and it is a women's apartment. Although it is nominally called a "dormitory", its conditions are not much worse than those of real villas.
Of course, it comes at a high cost to live here. If you don't have a certain economic strength, you really can't afford it.
But for Chen Siying, none of this is a problem. As a true core member of the family, the family will ensure that she will enjoy the best quality of elite education during her time in school, and that they can go to any university of their choice in the world if they wish.
Chen Siying's chosen major is administrative management. To be honest, this major is not what she likes, but she forces herself to accept it all. Although at the moment of separation from Yu Fan, she persuaded Yu Fan to forget about herself. But she herself knew that this was just a word to comfort herself. She and Yu Fan both know very well in their hearts that each other has already left a deep shadow in each other's hearts, and they can never forget it.
And before leaving, Yu Fan's affectionate and firm words also gave her confidence and courage.
"You're mine, whoever it is, don't try to snatch you from me!"
How domineering he was when he said that. This man!
At that moment, Chen Siying's whole person and whole heart felt melted. And it was because of that sentence that Chen Siying was determined to take a difficult road. Thinking about Yu Fan's situation, it is many times more difficult than not knowing himself. He knew it was almost an impossible task, but he insisted on trying, so why did she hold back?
That's right, that huge family, the family that is the envy of all Chinese people, has become a high mountain between them at this moment. But so what? As long as it is strong enough, one day, this mountain peak will be trampled under their feet! Yu Fan, he is working so hard, he gives up some of his hobbies for him, why can't he?
Chen Siying has self-knowledge in her heart, for music, she is only "good" at best, far from reaching the level of "genius" like Liu Yufan. So it's almost impossible to say how much you can do in this area. For the children in their family, either politics or business will be the two most basic choices in their later lives. Of course, there are also some lazy people who choose to lie on the credit book of their parents to be the "second generation". Although it looks a little unproductive, it can also be very comfortable.
Women are inherently politically weak, so in these families, girls generally choose to engage in business or simply become "rich wives". But Siying took the initiative to choose to study this highly political major, which shows that she has already made up her mind in her heart. If you want to trample this mountain under your feet, you must first become a member of this system. Even if there are swords, guns, mountains and forests in front of her, for that unattainable goal, she Chen Siying has to fight!
When Chen Siying expressed his wishes at a family meeting, including the supreme power of their huge family, the founding father of the republic, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Women in politics, there are too many things to pay, even with a family like theirs, if they want to succeed, the final effort is unbearable for ordinary people. …,
However, the old people are still very relieved to see the children in the family motivated. Siying's personality has been so strong since she was a child, although she usually looks eccentric, but when she encounters something that she really has made up her mind, she can't pull back nine cows.
Of course, no one would have thought that Chen Siying chose this path for that exaggerated goal, they just instinctively thought that the child was so strong and sensible.
After graduating from that kind of major in such a school, coupled with the aura on Siying's body, the certainty after coming back is extremely high. As for the future path, although the family will also give it some help, in the end, it still depends on her!
"Ding Ding Ding ~~~" A melodious bell rang, which was the melody of "Piano Music of the Night".
Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Chen Siying took the mobile phone on the bedside, glanced at the number, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.
"Hey, disturb my sister's dream early in the morning, I should be punished!" Chen Siying answered the phone and said with a smile, but she was very useful in her heart. Since these days, Yufan has made a phone call every day and has never stopped. This kind of care, even if it is far away from both sides of the ocean, she can feel it.
"Hehe, wronged, didn't I ask you to come here, senior sister." On the other end of the phone, Yu Fan said with a "resentful" face.
Although the two already have an intimate relationship, Chen Siying still insists that Liu Yufan call herself "senior sister", as if she is addicted. The two chatted a few words on the phone, and seeing that it was almost breakfast time, Chen Siying reluctantly hung up the phone.
"Hey, Chen, I was talking to my boyfriend on the phone just now, look at your sweet face." A tall blonde beauty looked at Chen Siying and teased.
"No, Dai'er, I think it's you Sichun who wants a boyfriend." Chen Siying said with a giggle.
The two beauties are laughing and playing here, but it is a pity that no one sees this beautiful scenery.
On the other side, Liu Yufan, who had just put down the phone, immediately rang his mobile phone. Looking at the familiar number, Yu Fan immediately connected the phone.
"Sister Xiaoling." Liu Yufan smiled and just said a word, but the next second, his face was full of astonishment. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
