In the audience, Mr. and Mrs. Ma Hsiao-chun, musicians from New York, and many music lovers, most of whom were celebrities or middle-class musicians, all applauded Yo-Yo Ma's virtuosity at the end of each piece.

As the concert approached its climax, the announcer came out to announce the next piece, "What is about to be brought to you is a special piece written by a composer who has just arrived in the United States from China, and he has combined the traditional Chinese instruments Hulusi and erhu ....... in the song."

Hearing this announcement, the vast majority of the audience was confused, they had never heard the performance of traditional Chinese musical instruments before, and they didn't understand what kind of musical instruments Hulusi and Erhu were; However, they are all veteran classical music lovers, and they are very clear about the repertoire of classical concerts, and coming up with a new piece at this time period is enough to prove that Yo-Yo Ma attaches great importance to this piece; So they became more and more curious, what kind of song is this?

"...... please enjoy "Silk Road" below, performers: cello Yo-Yo Ma, erhu Wang Qiming, gourd silk Guo Yan." After speaking, the announcer bowed and retreated.

"Alright, now it's our turn!" Shen Long gently patted Guo Yan's back, and calmed her down with a technique that could calm her mind, although Guo Yan had experienced many official performances before, but they were all in China, and this was the first time in the face of foreigners in a concert hall, and she was a little nervous.

"It's okay, it's no different than if you were performing outside of Lincoln Center; Okay, let's go on the stage and bring the charm of traditional Chinese music to them! After speaking, Yo-Yo Ma took the lead on the stage, and then Shen Long took Guo Yan to follow, and the three of them appeared in the center of the stage together.

"Oh, what kind of costume is this? It's just beautiful! The Hanfu worn by Shen Long and Guo Yan set off a small wave in the concert hall, and people were amazed.

"Are they Japanese musicians? Do these look a bit like kimonos? "It's a time when Japan's economy is booming, and Japanese people are buying assets in the U.S. and spreading their culture, and some American audiences have seen kimonos.

"No, it's not the same, this kind of costume looks obviously much more atmospheric than the kimono, and it is completely different from the restrained style of the kimono." Those who can come to the concert are people with high cultural literacy, and with their aesthetic vision, they can clearly see the difference between Hanfu and kimono.

"The beauty of uniforms is called Hua, and the great etiquette is called summer! A dress with water, elegant and elegant temperament, this is my Chinese clothes! Ma Xiaojun was in tears for it, this was the richness and gorgeousness that he could only see in ancient books and paintings, and now it appeared in front of him vividly.

At this time, he remembered what Shen Long said to him at the beginning, this kind of majestic costume may not be reproduced by those young people in Baodao and Xiangjiang, in these places, even the old people who pay attention to tradition will only wear long robes and cheongsams, and no one has ever thought of reproducing Hanfu, even the Confucius on the island is wearing a robe and horse coat when he worships Confucius......

"This kind of clothing does not have the pretentiousness of old Europe, nor the twisted and reserved of American nouveau riche, and what is displayed in front of us is a vibrant, exciting and intoxicating costume; It gives me new inspiration and a theme for my clothing designs this fall! A promising young fashion designer said excitedly, while staring at the stage without blinking, for fear of missing a single detail.

"Uniquely classical, open and welcoming, unlike any classical work of art I've ever seen." So said one painter.

They wanted to discuss something, and Yo-Yo Ma's performance began, and the cello's mournful and weeping timbre brought people into a desolate and far-reaching realm.

Immediately, Guo Yan's gourd silk sounded, and a boundless desert seemed to appear in front of people's eyes, and the camel caravan in the middle of the desert slowly moved forward; Then Shen Long played the erhu, and the detached and ethereal sound reminded people of the desert sky......

There was silence at the scene, except for the sound of cello, erhu and gourd, there was no other sound, and all the audience was immersed in this unique and beautiful music; They felt that the music culture is different from Western classical music, but it is also broad and profound.

This kind of music is different from the roughness of African music, it is old and young, grand and inclusive, thick and light, this is definitely not a work that can be completed by a genius musician himself, behind this work, there must be a long and deep cultural heritage.

The three-minute performance ended quickly, the scene was silent, Guo Yan's face turned white, and she looked at Shen Long nervously, could it be that our performance failed? Our music is not recognized by them?

Without waiting for Shen Long to smile and comfort, the scene suddenly burst into warm applause, and it was only at this time that the audience woke up from their intoxication with "Silk Road"; Yo-Yo Ma, Shen Long, and Guo Yan bowed several times in a row, and the applause gradually stopped.

Then they began to play the second piece, and with the success of the first one, Guo Yan's performance became more confident; In the same way, with the first experience, the audience at the scene can better understand this new style of music.

The delicate tenderness of the cello, the ethereal spirit of the gourd silk, and the coldness of the erhu bring them to the quiet moonlight, and this piece is both romantic and desolate, with both the tactfulness of Western music and the elegance of Eastern music.

After the second piece was played, the concert came to an end, and all the performers stood up and bowed to the audience, who also stood up to thank them with warm applause. Yo-Yo Ma and Shen Long took a curtain call three times in a row before the audience let them go.

"Qiming, we succeeded!" Back backstage, Guo Yan said excitedly, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes, the previous sale of the copyright and the signing of a contract with Toei Co., Ltd. were also successful, but these successes were not as intuitive as the warm applause of the audience.

"Congratulations!" Yo-Yo Ma and the rest of the orchestra applauded.

Shen Long wanted to say something, but he heard a noisy sound outside, and then the curtain in the background was pulled open with a bang, and the security guard chased after him desperately, "Sir, you can't do this!" ”

"YO-YO, can you tell us about these two songs?"

"Sir, may I take a picture of you?"

Shen Long and Guo Yan looked at each other and smiled, it seems that this appearance was very successful and amazing.
