Chapter 73: Flowers in the Water
On the woodland outside the "China Building" hotel in Surabaya, a bonfire was lit, and the players of the Chinese team and a group of expatriates in Surabaya gathered together to taste various delicacies and eat rice crackers on palm syrup.
It is often called "overseas Chinese" and "Chinese", which does not feel very cordial, but in fact there is a difference between the two. "Overseas Chinese" are actually still Chinese, still Chinese nationality, but have lived overseas for a long time. "Chinese" should be said to be "foreigners". Today, the number of "overseas Chinese" is not as large as it was at the beginning. Although the descendants of Yan and Huang continue to thrive in various parts of the earth today.
At this time, even if the Chinese living in Southeast Asian countries have gone through several generations or more, most of these places are colonies of foreigners, and there is no need to be second-class citizens in these places, so they have naturally maintained their Chinese status - which is why they have always been so enthusiastic and attentive.
In the venue, Xiao Dong and Xiao Hua, two students from the north, are bringing a traditional cross talk "Red Affair Meeting" - originally Xiao Hua wanted to say a more funny "White Affair Meeting", but Xiao Dong said that you dare to say such a mournful theme to see if the local father and elder don't kill you!
"Red Affair Society" is so famous that it means getting married, and the funny story of the marriage of the parents of the funny people, for people like Lu Zhuhu who grew up in the Internet era, they are basically familiar old stalks, that is, people in this era believe that there are not a few people who have heard of it, but everyone is not surprised at all that the two students are still a little rusty with the cooperation, and they are all laughing happily.
Xiao Dong: Follow along, it's time for your mother to enter the door! Let your mother step into the brazier and drill the ring of fire! Walk you! Drill it!
Little Flower: Alas! Stop! Stopped! Stopped! Stop! Where did it come from?
Xiao Dong: Yes, right? How do I remember that there seems to be.
Xiaohua: What's there? Drill the fire circle, that's a circus! Only the brazier!
Xiao Dong: Yes, Mai brazier! But someone has to pour a little wine into that brazierβ
Xiaohua: As soon as the flame rises, the day will become more and more prosperous.
Xiao Dong: At this time, your father hurriedly ran to the wedding room and took off his clothes......
Xiaohua: Huh?! Right? - What's going on?
Xiao Dong: New clothes!
Xiaohua: Surprise me!
Xiao Dong: Put on your robe, boots and hat, hold a bow and three arrows. Your dad came out of the wedding room, and everyone laughed when they saw it. Your dad looked down, turned and ran.
Xiaohua: My dad may be a little ashamed.
Xiao Dong: He didn't wear pants.
Xiaohua: you!
β¦β¦
Lu Zhuhu listened to it and thought: These old jokes, after a hundred and eighty years, there has been no major change!
It's just that at this time, it's more-
Yellow.
However, after shaking off the big burden, everyone laughed, it is still rare to hear cross talk overseas, after all, at this time, there is only Li Huitang's football touring troupe, and there is no Deyun Club overseas special show.
Among the people who came, there were many overseas Chinese girls, who also trembled with the flowers and branches, and the acceptance of the jokes with a little color was also OK, unlike women in China at this time, who were mostly conservative and shy. This is also the reason why the Chinese football team has been keen on various overseas performances since the end of the Qing Dynasty - there is a chance to bubble high-quality overseas Chinese young women. Not to mention anything else, Dai Linjing relied on this to get a beautiful daughter-in-law, and there is an even more enviable person, Yang Shuiyi, who was originally in the national team lineup, in 1941 he went to Australia with the Sing Tao Oriental United team and fell in love with Sydney (...... So she stayed to develop, became the son-in-law of a local overseas Chinese, and then inherited the family industry, and also had three children, which can be said to enjoy the blessings of heaven and man. (Because of this, the author resolutely kicked it out of the list!) Ha ha! οΌ
Seeing that the audience responded well, and the two students also had a sense of accomplishment, Xiaohua glanced east and west, looking for which young woman was the most beautiful below. Xiao Dong whispered: "Aren't you usually talking about teasing?" Why did you say it today? I almost forgot the words, and I went out to look at the ocean...... "Funny because I can always squeeze and praise, when I was in school, Xiaohua has been choking to be funny, but today it is abnormal."
Xiaohua's eyes continued to focus on the pretty faces and ...... of the young women chest, shamelessly said: "There are so many female compatriots here today, of course I have to behave seriously, what if I can find a daughter-in-law inside......"
Xiao Dong: "......"
Coughing, Xiao Dong said: "The next show will be ...... by the 'assist king' of our World Games team."
"Wow! This head! Xiaohua naturally entered his state of praise again.
Xiao Dong: "It's also the coach and teacher of our two primary school students......"
Xiaohua: "But he teaches 'university'......"
Xiao Dong: "Mr. Lu's 'male solo'!" β
Xiaohua: "The name of the song is-"
Lu Zhuhu has a guitar this time, and he can finally "play and sing by himself", after all, it looks silly to sing to a group of people. This was the place where he had barely thought of the slightly usefulness of the so-called "S" class equipment he had just gotten......
The song he is going to sing this time is the theme song of a TV series he watched when he was a child, and it is also an old song "Like Water" sung by the starring teacher Huang Lei, the reason for choosing the song is very simple, the background music of this song is super simple, because he hasn't touched the guitar for a while, and it is inevitable that he will have some hands.
On the other hand, it is too simple to surpass the original singer - the singer Huang Lei has incomplete five tones, and others have to teach him to sing sentence by sentence in the recording studio, but he can leave two best-selling albums and several highly sung songs, which can be called a great wonder.
Hearing the two students start to announce the curtain, Lu Zhuhu hugged his Lakewood guitar tens of thousands of dollars in his arms and prepared to make his debut.
As a result, at this time, Xiaohua patronized the young woman and forgot the title of the song that Lu Zhuhu was going to sing!
"The song he's going to sing is ......" Xiaohua scratched her head, not remembering anything.
Xiao Dong thought that the other party continued to play cross talk with him, and continued: "What is the name of the song?" β
Xiaohua's eyes widened, and she held back a sentence for a long time: "Is there a song name?" β
Xiao Dong: "Can you get one?" β
Xiaohua's eyes glared: "I don't have that ability!" β
Looking at his appearance, Xiao Dong understood that he had forgotten his words, but he was not flustered, and was ready to remind him: "You think, where we are now-" is ready to lead him to the "watery years......
Xiaohua: "This is the ...... of Surabaya" but still didn't think about it.
Xiao Dong was helpless, this guy was so unreliable, he could only continue to remind him, pointing to the hotel: "We're in-"
Xiaohua: "Zhonghua Building." β
Xiao Dong: "Connect up!" β
Xiaohua: "Surabaya - China? β
Xiao Dong: "Yes, it sounds like ......" As long as you change one word, it will be the title of the song, you can't think of it!
Xiaohua seemed to be enlightened all of a sudden, and suddenly brightened: "Is it a 'flower in the water'?" - Yes, the title of the song that Lu Shi wants to sing is, Water Flower! β
Xiao Dong covered his face weakly, this pig teammate really can't take it!
Lu Zhuhu almost fell to the ground with garlic under his feet - big brother, it's just a curtain, why don't you change the song for Lao Tzu on the spot!
After waiting for a long time to play, it's time to go back to sleep after singing a song, but I listened to them talk about it for a long time, and now I give him a new title!
But fortunately, the outrageous is not so far away - at least the song "Water Flowers" is still there, it is also Alan Tam's classic song, and it is rare and great in Chinese and Cantonese, and the two versions of Lu Qihu's pirated version of "Golden Songs All Included" are available, and I just heard it recently. Otherwise, if Xiaohua came out like this, he could only sing some words blindly.
The Cantonese version of the flower in the water, written and composed by Jian Ning, arranged by Liu Yida, and included in Alan Tam's album "Hug" released in 1988.
The Chinese version of the lyrics rewritten by the famous lyricist "Doll" Chen Yuzhen was included in Alan Tam's album "Heart and Hand Connection" in the same year.
Of course, mainland audiences are familiar with this song because it appeared on the stage of the 1991 Spring Festival Gala. At that time, the imperial court station negotiated cooperation with Polygram Records, hoping to invite Polygram's biggest singer to sing at the Spring Festival Gala - naturally it was none other than the top Principal Tan. So he left a rather classic performance - although the part of Alan Tam at the Spring Festival Gala was actually recorded......
As if he hadn't experienced an accident, Lu Zhuhu walked onto the stage with the spring breeze on his face, nodded to the audience below, and then sat down calmly, glaring at Xiaohua as if nothing - this kid is really uneasy!
Lu Zhuhu plucked the strings with a calm expression, and a beautiful melody slowly flowed from his fingertips:
In the bleak rain and cold wind
How much prosperity is like a dream
Once a thousand purples and thousands of reds
Blown down by the wind
Suddenly looking back
Love is like a cloud of smoke
The years are flowing away
Leave no trace
I saw flowers in the water
It is necessary to keep a touch of red
But tossing and turning in the dust
No more colors from the past
I saw me in tears
Inability to keep something
Only in a trance drunk
There are still some old dreams
The flying flowers have fallen
The affection of the past has long been empty
The flowing water rushed by
Who can hold it for a moment
Feeling the floating flowers
There is no sustenance in the world
Even if the rain blows, the wind blows, and there is silence
It's like it's me......
