Chepter68 Expectations and Disappointments
The clock rang on time at seven o'clock in the evening, and the Boya Middle School Centennial Gala officially kicked off in the school auditorium.
Before the official start of the party, Wen Guoliang took the stage to deliver a speech.
"Students, today, we are here to hold a grand ceremony for the centenary of the founding of the school. Boya has gone through 100 years and is marching heroically towards her 101st year. We walked towards her through the ritual, and she came to us with the remembrance.
Standing in the long river of history, we can't help but feel a lot of emotion. One hundred years is a winding journey, how much sweat, how many miracles, left in our memory. One hundred years is a shocking picture, how much pride, how much glory inspires us to continue to move forward.
Confucianism gathers, leading the tide of thought; Heroes gathered, the first to open the atmosphere. The establishment and development of Boya Middle School has always been linked to the destiny of the country and the nation. We boya people should have a sense of innovation and responsibility to stand at the forefront of the tide in the era of change, and we should also have the peace and tranquility of studying in the ivory tower.
Wind and rain for a hundred years, the color period of the coming year. In the future, Boya will insist on inheriting the fine tradition and exploring the truth; Insist on walking with the society, keep pace with the times, and insist on taking root in the land of China to create a world-class middle school. ”
……
I have to say that there is a certain reason why Wen Guoliang can be deeply loved by the teachers and students of the school. At the end of his rousing speech, he immediately won the applause of the audience.
Many teachers and students even stood up excitedly, their eyes red and clapping.
The applause slowly stopped, and with the host's announcement, the party kicked off in the poem "Praise" of Mu Dan in the first class of the second year, and its majestic momentum was amazing.
After the poetry recital, there was a large-scale dance of the teachers' group "Boya, Coming from History".
The dance reminisces about the past in the form of storytelling, recalls the important moments since the founding of the school, and shows the glorious tradition of "patriotism, progress, democracy and science" of the Boya people.
Then came the dance "Coming for You" performed by the Boya Middle School Choir.
In the past 100 years, generation after generation of Boya people have created an inclusive academic atmosphere, a democratic and scientific social quality and a patriotic and progressive family and country feelings, just as the choir sings, Boya people are dedicated and mission-conscious, and each Boya people's "come for you" together constitute the moving symphony of Boya Middle School's "for the country, the nation and society".
After the chorus, it was followed by the program "Alma Mater, I'm Back" brought by alumni groups at home and abroad.
Boya people have witnessed the development of Boya, and Boya has also supported the dreams of Boya people, and a soulful poem recitation deeply expresses the love of Boya students for their alma mater.
……
With the end of one program after another, the fifteenth program soon arrived, the piano solo performed by Wen Biting, Liszt's "Harmony of the Night".
"Harmony of the Night" is one of Liszt's super etudes, it is the ultimate of Liszt's music, it makes all language superfluous, and all that remains is unparalleled listening enjoyment.
This piece is an extreme test of the performer's skills and emotional expression, Wen Biting dares to challenge this piece on such an important stage, I have to say that her courage is commendable, she is obviously very confident in her skills.
Everyone knows that the student who is about to come to the stage is Wen Guoliang's daughter, and having such an excellent daughter is really envious of others, and everyone has expressed their envy for Wen Guoliang.
Wen Guoliang, who was sitting in the front row, smiled gently, and accepted everyone's compliments with humility.
Soon, Wen Biting, who was wearing a purple bandeau dress, came to the center of the stage, saluted the audience, and sat back in front of the piano gracefully, raised her slender ten fingers, and played skillfully.
Everyone was obviously looking forward to this track, and they stopped what they were doing, closed their eyes and listened attentively.
Looking at his daughter who seemed to be glowing on the stage, Wen Guoliang couldn't help but feel a burst of pride.
He did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to introduce famous teachers to teach Wen Biting the piano, and what he was waiting for was nothing more than this moment.
As long as Wen Biting performs amazingly at this party, he can logically take her into the upper class society of Z City, if she enters the eyes of those nobles, maybe he can use her to go to the next level. Wen Guo's conscience couldn't help but look forward to it.
I saw Wen Biting with her eyes closed, her jumping fingertips playing slowly on the black and white keys, the melody was slow at first, like crying, as if telling a gentle and beautiful story. Everyone closed their eyes and indulged in the sound of Wen Biting's piano.
However, what the audience didn't know was that Wen Biting, who was peaceful and peaceful on the stage at this moment, was far from being as calm as she was on the surface.
She has been circling a thought in her heart, this is her best chance to bring down Lin Xiwei, she must play this piece well and slap Lin Xiwei in the face.
She played with such an obsession, and injected a trace of anxiety into the peaceful sound of the piano for no reason, so that the people in the audience who were well versed in the sound of the piano listened to it, and frowned unconsciously.
Soon, the notes reached the critical point, and the soothing notes were supposed to be silent here, a calm before the storm.
However, it is a pity that Wen Biting did not perfectly play the silence that she wanted to say at this moment, her piano sound always gave people a feeling of impatience, even people who did not understand the piano sound felt uncomfortable for no reason when they listened to it.
Wen Guoliang was obviously aware of this, sitting next to him was the president of the Z City Music Association, who was also the wife of the number one in Z City, Wen Guoliang obviously felt her dislike from her slightly frowning brow.
Wen Guoliang couldn't help but be secretly anxious, and he stared at Wen Biting with a gloomy face. Obviously she performed very well during rehearsals, and even her piano teacher said that there was no problem, why did she have a problem when she came on stage? Could it be that it is really the mud that can't hold up the wall?
Wen Biting didn't realize that there was a problem with her performance, and she was full of ambition to overwhelm Lin Xiwei.
The repertoire soon reached its climax, and the following fierce and stormy notes are the most explosive expression of the whole repertoire, and this piece of piano sound is the highest test of the player's skill and emotional expression.
The sound here should be advancing layer by layer, and layer by layer, as if it is constantly impacting the listener's heart with the most fierce collision. This kind of complicated feelings that come one after another will definitely make the audience want to stop.
However, it is a pity that Wen Biting did not bring this wonderful feeling to everyone. Her sound is impatient and unangry throughout, giving the listener a very depressed feeling.
Until the end of the piano sound, the ending that should have been unfinished was hastily ended by Wen Biting. Everyone waited for a long neck, but they still couldn't wait for the last most meaningful aftertaste.
At the end of the whole piece, the most special syllable that people were full of nostalgia and couldn't give up disappeared in Wen Biting's performance for no reason, and everyone showed disappointed eyes.
Under the fame, it is actually difficult to deserve.
I didn't expect President Wenda, a well-known daughter, but that's it.
