Chapter 326: On the Road

Coming to this plane, the first game that Du Xinghe wanted to watch on the spot turned out to be Blue Eagle's!

Du Xinghe secretly felt that he seemed to have an indescribable fate with this long-established university!

Especially when he saw Zhang Yifan talking about the history of the men's football team of Fuda University, the pride from the bottom of his heart revealed between the lines, and the students wearing the boys' football team uniforms of his school outside the car window, laughing and chatting about the men's football team of their school, made Du Xinghe particularly touched. When something is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, that kind of derivative liliang is really infinitely powerful and infinitely beautiful! Du Xinghe kind of liked this feeling.

All along, he has only loved music, which is also his life's cause and lifelong pursuit.

But in fact, there are many other things on this shijie that can move him, and as long as he opens his eyes to see, he can find these touches.

Coming to these college students, Du Xinghe suddenly felt that he had become younger, just like the bright-colored sportswear he was wearing, and he felt that his life seemed to have become full and colorful.

has always been the essence of COPY's last dimension, and COPY's life to Du Xinghe is a little lifeless, because there is no original thing of his own at all, which is tantamount to depriving an artist of his right to breathe.

Du Xinghe realized at this moment that the touching and love from life around him now is the best source of his future creation, art is higher than life, but also from life, if there is no normal life, how can it be possible to create music that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?

Plagiarizing the artistic crystallization of the previous plane in the ivory tower. It's just a springboard for him to start in this plane, and in the future, he will have to rely on his own hands to walk out of a path of his own, and he must absorb enough essence and nutrients from this plane to finally create music that can be remembered by the world.

Infected by the vitality of college students like Zhang Yifan, Du Xinghe decided that after finishing the most important work at hand this year and putting Yun Shijie on the right track, he would take advantage of the change of voice in his voice. Go to the university here for a while. Systematically study the cultural history of this plane, and really be a person of this plane who is like a fake, and you can't always carry the burden of the previous plane. Only by better understanding the history and humanities of this plane will he grasp the direction of the cultural industry in the future more accurately.

You don't have to choose another school. Wait for the opportunity to come. He came to study at Fuwan University, which he was destined for. Reminisce about college life and pick up the lost youth again!

drove the car to the downstairs of Zhang Yifan's freshman girls' apartment, and then helped Zhang Yifan bring out the tennis equipment bag. Since boys were not allowed to enter the girls' apartment, Du Xinghe could only send Zhang Yifan to the door of the apartment.

When the girls who came in and out saw Zhang Yifan being sent out of the high-end coupe by a handsome guy, they couldn't help but cast envious glances at Zhang Yifan, and also cast curious glances at Du Xinghe.

The entrance to the new student apartment is a green lawn, and it is getting late, but there are still many students gathering on the lawn, some playing guitar together, some getting together to play cards, and some sitting in pairs on dates. These young people all looked very leisurely, as if they had no troubles at all, which made Du Xinghe envious.

In fact, even if he returns to campus, it is impossible to have the carefree freedom and happy mentality of these students, his heart has long matured, and he can only occasionally capture some youthful happiness, but he can no longer find the real happiness of young people.

Thinking of this, Du Xinghe's heart silently appeared a few dim tones.

Back in the car and seeing the young students coming and going, Du Xinghe closed his eyes, and somehow remembered the catcher in the wheat field "On the Road" in his mind.

It usually takes a while for girls to take a bath, taking advantage of this opportunity, Du Xinghe leaned back the car seat, picked up the small guitar of the Royal Qinfang that was always on the car from the back shelf, he lay on his back, held the small guitar in his arms, closed his eyes and played the catcher in the wheat field "On the Road", so as to feel his lost youth.

……

Maybe I want too much~ I don't want you to be sad~

Maybe it should be simply to live ~ happiness and pain not to say ~

We have no ideals ~ wandering has no direction ~ It's just a wheat field in a dream~Guarding a piece of gold~

……

The beauty of thinking ~ dreams are also impermanent~

The distance that can never be reached~

On the way~Sing ~ this song to me~

……

If I have a direction ~ it is far away ~

How steel is made ~ wandering does not depend on strength ~

If I had a gun~I would have been bored a long time ago~

If I can get roses~I'll leave only the fragrance~

……

The beauty of thinking ~ dreams are also impermanent~

The distance that can never be reached~

On the way~Sing ~ this song to me~oh~

……

Always dream of the wheat field ~ guarding every piece of gold ~ Oh, lose my ideals~bury it with my life~

Always dream of the wheat field ~ guarding every piece of gold ~ Lose my ideals ~ bury them with my life ~

……

Strictly speaking, "On the Road" is not a school ballad that feels nostalgic for youth, but a spiritual rock that explores young people's pursuit of freedom and faith.

Speaking of this song, we have to talk about the creator of this song, the Catchers in the Rye.

In the previous plane, the catcher in the Rye was the rock band that Du Xinghe had come into contact with and admired more.

This band was the last century when rock 'n' roll was not completely dead. A new generation of rock groups with unique styles has emerged in Beijing.

The members of the band are generally influenced by British music, and their music has the characteristics of British rock, inheriting the tradition of punk/New-wave music since the mid-seventies, and has a very beautiful melody with the emerging Britpop music in the United Kingdom at the same time, and the composition is short and delicate. However, rendering the guitar solo requires the various instruments and vocals to play independently and evenly in an equally important position, which is a very valuable insistence when many bands in the previous plane are pursuing the so-called jishu flow.

It is this diversity of music that makes the work of "Wheat Field" very audible. From the HardCore with more than 180 beats to the HewWave with a downturn and maneuver; From the agitated old-fashioned Punk to the graceful and lyrical Ballad, "The Catcher in the Rye" shows a simple, subtle British musical element as the background from the musical level, which is free and easy to stir up the north. A musical space for the thoughts and emotions of a new generation of young people in Beijing.

This is a very early Britpop-style rock band in China, and their music Du Xinghe likes it very much.

The band's name is also very meaningful, the catcher in the Rye - the name is inspired by the best-selling novel of the same name by American writer Salinger, "Catcher-in-the-Rye". This book is a precursor to the non-mainstream culture of the sixties in the United States.

Cornfield. In the book, it is used to symbolize the joy garden of young people. It can be hidden, playful, close to the earth, and bathed in the sun. For a teenager who loves to mischievous, the process of growing up is troublesome. Therefore, there is a watchman in the wheat field who can watch over it. In case it falls into the abyss. This kind of juvenile childishness. It is a true portrayal of the rock group "Catcher in the Rye".

Their song "On the Road". It is a tribute to the 1957 novel "On the Road" by the American "Beat Generation" writer Jack Kerouac, and it is also an artistic extension.

"On the Road" is Jack Kerouac's second novel, and it is also the last novel of great significance and representative significance in the history of American literature.

The novel is overwhelmingly autobiographical. Loosely structured and intermittent, it depicts the absurd life experiences of a group of young people, reflecting the spiritual emptiness and muddle of postwar American youth, and is widely regarded as a classic of the hippie movement and the Beat Generation of the '60s in the United States.

At a time when extreme fashion had fragmented attention and dulled sensitivity, the publication of this book was a historical event, if the appearance of a true work of art was of any great significance.

"On the Road" is the clearest and most important expression of the Beat Generation, with Kerouac himself as the main representative. He and his friends are a "rebellious bunch" who "try to look at Shijie in a way that gives Shijie something new." Trying to find a convincing ...... value". They thought that all this could be achieved through literature, and the idea of creating a "new illusion" of critique of all existing social conventions arose.

The characters in "On the Road" are actually "seeking, and the specific goal they seek is the spiritual realm, and while they travel back and forth across the country at the first excuse, looking for thrills along the way, their real journey is on the spiritual level; If they seem to have crossed most of the legal and moral boundaries, their starting point is simply to hope to find faith on the other side."

The central character of this novel is Dean, and under his leadership, Sal and the others find an excuse to go on the road, they take a ride, meet strangers, indulge their temperaments, do whatever they want, and in the carnival of crowd travel, there is almost no moral limit, even if they are as down-and-out as beggars, but as long as they are "on the road", they are comfortable. Sal once sighed sincerely: "Ah, a beautiful, warm night, the moonlight is like water, hugging your girl, drinking, talking, spitting, it is heaven and earth!" ”

Behind this chaotic, exuberant and exhausting state of getting by, the theme of "On the Road" is far less light than its words. The characters in the book are constantly shuttling between the road and the city, and there are so many people on the road on each journey, lonely, melancholy, happy, and numb...... New York, Denver, San Francisco...... The city is just a symbol, a stop on the road, and every time they arrive at a place, they find that their dreams are still far away, so they can only move on......

"I'm still young and I'm eager to hit the road." In this novel, Kerouac expresses the alienation, insecurity, and dissatisfaction in the hearts of most young people, and in a sense, the book is no longer just a book, but a "imagined ideal state and a sense of awakening freedom" in life.

This work has had a great impact on American literature, as an icebreaker that breaks through the conservative culture of the United States after the war and pursues the liberation of individuality, "On the Road" has influenced American culture, art and values from all aspects.

I don't know if there is a "beat generation" in China on this plane similar to those in the United States after the end of World War II, who opposed all socially recognized norms and pursued individual liberation and freedom.

As far as Du Xinghe currently knows, under the huge and unwieldy control of the Zhang royal family, China has always been a highly centralized social system after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the state apparatus is extremely powerful, under which there should be little individual freedom at all.

However, after the Zhang royal family stepped down from the stage of history, China has been a social state of emancipating the mind and letting a hundred flowers bloom in the past twenty or thirty years. In such a state, every young person should have a pursuit of "On the Road".

At this moment, on the campus of Fuwan University, enjoying the carefree state of the surrounding college students who are very much like the "Beat Generation", Du Xinghe couldn't help but sing the classic "On the Road", a classic "On the Road" by using music to interpret the spirit of Kerouac's "On the Road".

In room 0616 of the girls' apartment, as soon as Zhang Yifan returned to the apartment, she put all the tennis equipment next to the bed, and she didn't care about cleaning it up, she hurriedly went to the bathroom to take a shower.

It's a good time for them to catch up with the freshmen of Fuda University, unlike the old students, who have to squeeze six or eight people into a dormitory, and have to go to the public bathhouse if they want to take a bath. The new student apartment, which was only built this year, is a four-person apartment, and each dormitory is equipped with air conditioning and a separate bathroom water heater, which is definitely a great benefit for the university girls.

After entering the bathroom this day, Zhang Yifan took off his hot pants and sports briefs, and first twisted his body to look at his left buttocks. It was a terrible situation!

Her entire left buttocks are purple! It's like applying a purple potion! And at the bottom of the buttocks seam, there is a thick blood bruise close to black! It was drawn out of the frame! It's terrifying to watch!

How much liliang did Du Xinghe use now!

Zhang Yifan is really unimaginable! (To be continued......)
