Chapter 56: For Whom (Part II)
"What? Let's sing? This kind of shitty thing also let us do? A county lord said dissatisfiedly.
In ancient times, singing and entertaining others were of very low status, this kind of person belonged to the singer, and the status was only higher than the kind of woman who sold her body for a living. Now Chen Fei wants them to sing to the wounded soldiers, this is obviously to let these princesses and county lords do such a lowly thing, and they naturally can't accept it.
"Sister, don't say it, there is nothing truly noble and low in this world. Although some things may seem lowly, they can make people feel noble because they have noble love! You say that if a woman sells her body to save her mother's life, can you say that she is a lowly person? On the contrary, she is nobler than anyone else. Isn't it just singing? Since we are singing for the soldiers who protect the peace of our Tang Dynasty, this is of course extremely noble, not a lowly thing! Princess Wanchun said.
And Chen Fei immediately said: "Princess Wanchun said it well! Now I'm going to teach you to sing this song, which is called "For Whom". Look at the lyrics, I'll show you back, and you'll learn along! β
"Why is it so white? Why is it not a collection of Yuefu poems? A county lord immediately asked.
The ancient songs are all Yuefu poetry collections, in fact, they are very similar to poems, this is the ancient songs. But the lyrics that Chen Fei came up with were actually all vernacular, which made those noble girls who thought they were literate a little unacceptable.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are going to sing to those uneducated soldiers, can you use too advanced words? Those Yuefu poetry collections not only can't have an effect, but will have the opposite effect! Chen Fei said.
"Chen Senjun, you hurry up and demonstrate it to us, we haven't sung such a 'white' song yet! And you only have lyrics, no tunes, we don't know! So if you sang it to us once! Princess Wanchun said.
Chen Fei took a look at the wounded soldiers in the wounded barracks, wanting to brew feelings. But when he saw those wounded soldiers, he remembered his comrades-in-arms before he crossed over. Chen Fei has been a soldier for three years, even if he is a person who has all kinds of military preferential treatment in order to add points to the college entrance examination, he also has some feelings for the military. There are several or three years in a person's life, so when he saw these soldiers who were injured in order to defend the city, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart. He had not experienced war before the crossing, and he would never be able to appreciate what it was like to be war. But now he saw that these soldiers were injured in order to protect Chang'an City, in order to protect the people in Chang'an City, and many of them were killed, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten a little. After all, people have feelings, even if Chen Fei is a soldier, he still has great respect for those soldiers who can be injured in order to protect the people and protect the country.
"The mud covered my trouser legs, and the sweat soaked the back of my clothes. I don't know who you are, but I know who you're for. β¦β¦ Who is the most beautiful? Who is the most tired? My folks, my comrades-in-arms, my brothers and sisters. β
Although Chen Fei wanted to demonstrate to a few noble girls at first, but later when he sang, his emotions became richer and richer, and he felt that he was also involved. And this "For Whom" is a military song that he must learn when he is a soldier, so he is very familiar with it, even if he doesn't use his mobile phone to search the Internet for later generations, he can sing it. But Chen Fei sang to the end, and then he realized that he had been a soldier for three years and had sung so many times, but he didn't sing as well as this time. Because this time, he was invested in real feelings, not just to cope with the relationship. And this time, he really threw himself into it, really regarded himself as a soldier, and really felt that it was not easy for those soldiers to protect their families and defend the country.
"Good!" "Chen joins the army, sing well!" "Chen joins the army, do it again!" "Chen joins the army, come again!" β¦β¦
The soldiers in the wounded barracks also began to chant one after another, apparently asking Chen Fei to do it again. And the eyes of many soldiers were also moist, because Chen Fei's song was an acknowledgment of them. In ancient times, the status of ordinary soldiers was very worrisome, and many ordinary soldiers served as soldiers, belonging to the kind of people with very low status. And many of them fought by force, and if they died, not too many people would pity them, and not many would recognize their merits. And Chen Fei's song is very moving. Because Chen Fei expressed in this song that the soldiers killed the enemy and served the country in order to protect the people, for the 'autumn harvest, for the return of the wild geese in spring'. Although these are all metaphors, many people understand them.
And in addition, Chen Fei's emotional investment is also very good, because Chen Fei was also a soldier, so Chen Fei was able to empathize with it, which moved these soldiers. Therefore, many soldiers had tears in their eyes, because this was Chen Fei's recognition of their merits, admitting that they were defending the country and fighting to protect the people.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you still think that singing to the soldiers is a lowly singer? They have paid for the peace of our Datang, for the survival and reproduction of the people of Datang, for the sake of my Datang not to be bullied by foreigners, and for the life that you can live here today. Chen Fei asked rhetorically.
Chen Fei was still quite excited, so he was a little heavy on these noble girls, because he was also a soldier before the crossing, so he didn't think that singing to these soldiers was a lowly act. So these noble ladies picked and chosen, which made him very dissatisfied.
"Sisters, Chen Fei is right to join the army! If there were no these soldiers who sacrificed their lives to kill the enemy in front, where would we have a life of noble women who can't lift their hands or shoulders to stretch out their hands and eat to open their mouths? We can have all this today, they gave it to us, can we sing a few songs to them, that is lowly? If this is all lowly, then what is noble in this world? If you don't want to, I'll sing it! Princess Wanchun also helped Chen Fei question a few noble girls.
After Princess Wanchun finished speaking, she immediately began to follow the lyrics that Chen Fei sang just now, and then tried her best to imitate the style that Chen Fei sang just now. Then I also sang "For Whom" once.
"Okay, Her Royal Highness the princess sings well!" "Her Royal Highness the princess sings well!" "Long live Datang!" "Long live Datang!"
