68: A piece of red cloth
That was the first time Zhao Xun heard Lao Cui's "A Red Cloth", but she didn't know the name of the song at the time, and only found out later:
It was you who used a red cloth that day
Blindfolded me and blindfolded the sky
You ask me what I see
I said I saw happiness
It makes me feel so comfortable
……
I feel blood on you
Because your hands are hot
I don't feel like it's a wilderness
But they saw that the land here was cracked
I felt like I was going to drink some water
But your mouth gags mine
I can't go, I can't cry
Because my body is now dry
I will always be with you like this
Because I know your pain best
Honk......
They in the audience said that this was a song by Mr. Cui Jian in 91 and included in the "Solution" album.
This is at the door of the largest shopping mall in the local area, a huge electronic display screen, Lao Cui is sitting on the stage, except for the red cloth on Lao Cui's eyes, the stage is pitch black.
may be because of the musical charm of rock music itself, or maybe the lyrics themselves are too exciting, or maybe it is because of the old Cui on the stage, in short, Zhao Xun feels that he has been deeply fascinated.
In the endless wilderness, Zhao Xun didn't know where this was, and he didn't want to know where this was, there was no water, no food, there was a perennial drought here, the people were struggling to make a living, people didn't want to see the dry land, they didn't want to see the rusty iron balls, and they didn't want to see the chapped lips, so everyone put a red cloth on each other's eyes, as if only in this way could everyone alleviate some of the physical pain.
Zhao stood at the entrance of the mall for about half an hour, and was still pushed by an aunt who sold ice cream trucks, so that she could wake up from a piece of red cloth.
After returning home, Zhao Xun logged in to Baidu, but she did not immediately inquire about a piece of red cloth.
Zhao Xun instead typed out cui jia on the keyboard
The teacher's name, because in her memory dictionary, she felt that in order to understand a song first, she must understand the background behind the song, including its lyrics, composition, and singers.
Zhao Xun found that this piece of red cloth was basically completed by Mr. Cui Jian alone, including its lyrics, composition, arrangement, and then singing, the cover degree of this song was actually very high later, and for a period of time, it was known to most people on some variety show talent shows, including the covers of some female singers like Liu Caixing later.
And Zhao Zhao is here, she didn't expect that meeting with a piece of red cloth turned out to be such a meeting, this song, including until now, has always been very controversial, and it can be said that it is conservative.
Another aesthetic and obscurity that this song shows dimly, can't help but make this piece of red cloth concrete and profound, as if when you stand on the edge of the cliff that is afraid of life and death, a ball of red cloth tightly wrapped around your eyes, body, and then suddenly inserted a knife in this thin veil, you don't have time to dodge, you can't dodge.
Whether it's good or bad, you can only respond, and you can only respond.
Some people say that the song A Red Cloth is a song about the height of politics, and the red cloth in the song alludes to the five-star red flag of our country fluttering in the wind and the political situation that our country was in at that time.
But the happiness of kissing and holding hands seems to reflect another kind of love song, and the red cloth in the song alludes to the bride's red hijab.
Everyone has different feelings and opinions about this, and it is the new meaning of this song that has awakened many people's inner resonance, which makes this piece of red cloth a classic of Chinese rock music.
In the empty room, it seems that only Zhao Xun and this red cloth are left, but Zhao Xun feels that feeling is really amazing, she likes this feeling, and she also wants to pass this feeling on to other people and the world.
couldn't help but hear the familiar tune echo in Zhao Xun's mind again:
"You ask me where I'm going, and I say I'm going to get on your way
I can't see you or the road, and my hand is held by you
I feel blood on your body because your hands are hot
You ask me what I'm thinking, and I say I'm going to let you decide......"
Maybe that's really the case, maybe it's not scary to see the future, it's scary to see the future.
Because we don't know what will happen in the future, so we work hard, I fight, but when one day suddenly someone stands up and tells you that all this you have done seems to be meaningless, or that it is all in vain, at that time you may have thought, if I didn't do it, wouldn't it have turned out like this?
If we don't do it, won't it end up like this?
However, what ifs in life, we come from the world, we are all mortals, we are not Zhuge Liang, nor Jiang Ziya, we don't have so much ability to predict the future, what we have is an infinite vision of the future......
Therefore, we will still choose to work hard, choose to struggle, choose to struggle, and even choose to work hard, because there is no way back, so we have no hesitation.
On that day, you blindfolded me with a red cloth, and I asked you what you saw, and you said you saw happiness......
It was a post-autumn evening, Zhao Xun after work, just in time for a heavy rain that had been held all summer, just out of the unit because it didn't rain too much, so Zhao Xun didn't feel too relieved, anyway, he thought that home was close, and he didn't need to bring an umbrella to home was a matter of minutes.
Sure enough, God is so coincidental, it rains without an umbrella, it doesn't rain with an umbrella, and the rain without an umbrella seems to be extraordinarily heavy.
In fact, life is sometimes like this, you always can't predict what will happen to him in the next second, maybe happy, maybe sad, maybe funny, or irreparable, in short, you can't imagine it, and life it won't tell you.
Some people say that the mood of a rainy day is dull, and some people say that the light rain in the sky street is as moist as a crisp, and the mood on a rainy day should be pleasant, which is like a radish and green vegetables have their own love, everyone exists in this world is an independent individual, and each independent individual will have their own small world, and in this small world, you must be the protagonist.
But Zhao Xun's memory of a rainy day is like this.
"Sister, it's bad! Sister!!! ”
Zhao Xun, who was drenched in soup, heard his younger brother's shouting and screaming before he entered the house!
"Oh, why are you, you scared me! Hey, how are you at home? When did you come back? ”
"I'll be back this morning! Sister, isn't that the point? ”
"Why didn't you come back and say it in advance! What's wrong, what are you talking about? By the way, is Dad back? ”
"Sister, it's our dad, it's our dad who is gone, sister!"
"What? It's gone? Where did you go if you disappeared? ”
"I arrived home at almost 10 o'clock in the morning, I saw that there was no one at home, I thought my dad was in the store, so I took out my spare key to open the door and went home first, I thought that our dad should come back at about 2 o'clock, I waited at home, but we waited until now, and our dad still didn't come back."
"What? Haven't come back yet! Have you seen it in the store? ”
"Of course I've been, I'll run for the two of you! I have also been to the neighbors' houses that my dad often goes to, or the mahjong parlor, and they all said that I haven't seen my dad today! ”
At this time, Zhao Xun woke up from the pouring rain outside, and only then did he realize the seriousness of the problem.
"Oh my God! Where else can Dad go! By the way, did you call? Hurry up and call to see! ”
"I've called it a long time ago, and I've been calling it again, at first saying that no one was connected, then I was simply not in the service area, and then there was no sound at all."
"So what are you waiting for? Call the police! Why didn't you go to the unit to find me earlier! ”
"Aren't I afraid that you will be in a hurry, I just want to wait for you to get off work and tell you, just thinking that I will see if my father can come back during this time, but who would have thought that the rain will get heavier and heavier."
"Hurry up and call the police, don't wait, it's raining so hard, I'm afraid it's not good if Dad has something going on outside."
"Bah, don't say such things, our dad Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will be fine!"
"Call the police, call the police, must call the police immediately!"
"Sister, can you be sober, you haven't been missing for 24 hours now, what do you say when you call the police? Did you say that our dad hasn't come back yet? It's all adults, and before the specified time, do you think the police will accept it? No matter what, I have to carry it until tomorrow. ”
"So what now? Are we just waiting at home? ”
"Sister, you hurry up and change your clothes now, you're too wet, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold tomorrow, you believe me, our dad will definitely be able to find it, and he will definitely come back."
"Can't call the police, yes, can't call the police, it's not been 24 hours yet, right......"
"Sister, sister! You listen to me now, you are guarding at home, I will go out to find our dad now, if there is any clue, or dad comes home, you must call me back as soon as possible, by the way, which clothes did dad wear when he left this morning? ”
At this time, Zhao Xun had in his head that except for his father's disappearance, his father was missing, how could he still remember which clothes his father wore when he left in the morning.
"I don't remember, I don't remember, what to do, what to do?"
"Dad's usual clothes are just a few clothes, you go to Dad's closet and take a look!"
Zhao Xun ran to the closet like crazy, she can be said to have no clue now, but the truth must make her calm down immediately.
"Gray, yes, it must be gray, Dad wore that gray short-sleeved dress when he left in the morning."
