Chapter 400: The Thirty Years of the Chinese New Year's Eve
An even bigger challenge awaited Tang Mu, but he didn't know it from far away in the fog capital.
The Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer, and Chinatown has a strong New Year's flavor, and more and more Chinese like to come here to spend a little time, just to feel the breath of the motherland.
It's not that they don't want to go home, but they are far away in a foreign country, and many times they simply don't have time to go home.
To put it bluntly, I can't help myself.
They are very busy here, whether it is study or work, even if they go home, they will have to come back quickly after two days, and it is too much time to travel back and forth.
It's painful.
So, when they are homesick, they can only come to Chinatown to experience it.
In addition to the strong flavor of the New Year, on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, there are also some performances and activities, which are jointly organized by the embassy and some people in Chinatown, which is very lively.
Tang Mu is still busy with his studies, but sometimes he goes to Chinatown to play for a while.
On the 28th day of the lunar month, the embassy people also sent him a New Year's gift, which was some food specially transported from Huaxia.
When he received this gift, Tang Mu was still very happy.
However, at this time, Zhao Min also invited Tang Mu.
"There is an event in Chinatown on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, you can also come, sing two songs, everyone is lively. We'll send it back home, and there's a TV station that will show it when the time comes. ”
Zhao Min offered an invitation, Tang Mu had no reason to refuse, and this was also an opportunity to develop his network, so Tang Mu nodded and agreed.
Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Early in the morning, the whole Chinatown was bustling with activity.
There are many shops selling Chinese specialties that are constantly shouting, red lanterns are blowing in the streets and alleys, and many people are still dancing lions, playing dragons and so on.
Coming to such a place, Tang Mu suddenly felt that the flavor of the New Year here was stronger than when he was in Huaxia.
There are also these activities during the Chinese New Year, but they are a bit scattered in comparison, making people feel that they don't understand the taste, and in a foreign country, everything is gathered in Chinatown, which naturally gives people a much stronger feeling.
In Chinatown, there are not only Chinese, but also many foreigners, who are also interested in the Chinese New Year, and of course, the main thing is that the excitement attracts them.
You can buy some products unique to China, and you can watch lion dances, which make them feel very interesting.
Tang Mu and Zhang Ning came early, one is to play, and the other is to make some preparations and arrangements for the next performance, Zhang Ning and they don't perform, but as a world champion, Zhang Ning also has to come on stage to say a congratulatory message to everyone.
The others are mainly volunteers, busy with some performances.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was time to perform, Tang Mu's performance was placed in the middle, and the performances of some other people were in front.
Some of these people are also Chinese stars or something, and some of them simply like to sing or something, and they come to the stage to have fun.
The whole performance activity is not on the right track, but I just want to have fun with the people, and everyone is lively, so I don't pay so much attention to it.
When these people perform, there are many spectators watching from the sidelines, although their performances may not be very amazing, but at least these are some of their performances in China, and it is good to join in the fun.
And just after these people's performances ended, Tang Mu walked on the stage, and he sang a song "Chinatown" first
The red lantern is listed on the building
What to steam in the sunset and mix with scallion oil
Some people come and some go
The river of the heart always flows eastward
Tang Mu had already sung this song before, but not many people heard it at the time, and when they sang it again at this time, many people heard it for the first time, so that kind of impact was particularly shocking to them.
They live in Chinatown, and the kind of longing and so on that they sing in this song is a true portrayal of their hearts.
Therefore, when Tang Mu sang, the people watching the lion dance in Chinatown also ran over, and for a while, the entire stage was surrounded by several layers, and it was black.
When Tang Mu finished singing this song, the audience immediately shouted frantically: "One more ......"
"One more ......"
The enthusiasm of the audience was very high, and the host naturally came to the stage and smiled: "Tang Mu, everyone likes your song very much, why don't you sing another song for everyone?" ”
Tang Mu thought for a while and nodded: "Then sing a song "Always Go Home to See", I know that everyone misses staying in a foreign country and not being able to go home, but I also hope that if you can, even if it is only for a short time, everyone can go home and reunite with their families." ”
After speaking, Tang Mu began to sing:
Find some free time and find some time
Lead the child to go home often
Bring a smile and good wishes
Accompany your lover to visit home often
Tang Mu's voice is very warm, although it is only a very simple lyrics, but after he sings it, there is an indescribable charm, as if inadvertently, it touched the tears in people's hearts.
After Tang Mu sang a few words, many people at the scene couldn't help but shed tears, perhaps, they were not moved by this song, but when they heard this song, they suddenly found that they had not been home for several years, and they had not seen their relatives for several years.
At that moment, a sour feeling came spontaneously.
I often go home to see when I go home to see
Even if it is to help my mother brush her chopsticks and wash the dishes
The old man doesn't want his children to contribute much to the family
It's not easy to be reunited in a lifetime
When Tang Mu sang here, there were more people who couldn't help crying, they all thought of their parents, yes, their parents didn't ask them to contribute much, they just wanted to be reunited with them peacefully.
But society is realistic, they ask to learn, to make money, which is inevitable that they can't be with their parents and family for a long time, they feel a little guilty, a little sorry for their family, that feeling, that kind of thought, all of a sudden burst out, so that they really don't know what to do except cry.
The melody of this song is simple, but it just hits the heart directly.
When Tang Mu sang the chorus, many people had already sung along:
I often go home to see, go home to see......
There were still a lot of foreigners outside, and they were very strange for a while when they saw those Chinese people crying so badly, they couldn't understand the situation at all.
Why does a song make these Chinese people cry?
People who are not far from home will never understand the meaning of this song to them, this song is not just a song, but more of a feeling.
"Oh my God, these strange Chinese people......"
"Isn't this their New Year, like our Christmas, what do we cry about?"
They didn't know that if these Chinese were at home, they would be as happy as Christmas.
