In a blink of an eye.

September 20th.

At the entrance of the New York City Opera, there was an endless stream of spectators queuing for ticket check-in, and most of them were Chinese compatriots with Asian faces, who gathered together in twos and threes to discuss the protagonist of this concert "Li Yange"!

In the past half a month, as the concert at the Lincoln Center has continued to ferment, and Zhuo Jun, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency, has posted articles about Li Yange in many local Chinese newspapers, Li Yange's name can be said to be thunderous in the Chinese circle in New York.

Many people know that there is a great musician in China, he is the first Chinese to win an Academy Award, the first musician to perform at the Lincoln Center, and the youngest winner in the world to win the Cannes Film Festival Technology Award.

It can be said that from the very beginning, Li Yange gave the impression of the local Chinese in New York, that is, a great musician.

Coupled with Zhuo Jun's many reports, Li Yange's fame can be said to be a household name in the Chinese circle in New York, and everyone knows that a domestic musician came to New York and has gained a lot of popularity in New York.

Therefore, when everyone learned that Li Yange was going to hold five concerts in New York, especially after the share he received would be donated to the upcoming Asian Games in China, the local Chinese in New York with economic conditions almost came one after another to buy tickets for the concert.

Five concerts, totaling more than 10,000 tickets, sold out in just one week, much to the surprise and ecstasy of the agency.

Before the concert officially started, the tickets were sold out, which is enough to prove how successful the concert planned for Li Yange was.

After Arthur learned that the tickets were sold out, he immediately approached Li Yange, hoping to host a few more concerts, but was rejected by Li Yange due to time constraints.

From September 20th to September 30th, there were five concerts in ten days, and the time was already very short, and there were still performances for the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala and National Day Gala held by the embassy halfway, so there was no extra energy to think about adding a few more concerts.

However, Li Yange did not completely refuse, because Liang Leshu called the international distance before and said that the Asian Games team had preliminarily agreed to her plan, but the specific details had to wait for the leaders above to speak in person.

If Li Yange makes achievements in the United States, this will be of great help to the plan of "100 stars singing for the Asian Games".

……

……

6:15 p.m.

In a concert hall of the opera house, more than 2,000 people were seated, and most of the audience was Chinese from New York.

When they saw the Chinese style carefully arranged by the concert director, they were very happy, and at the same time, they also felt a trace of comfort from the depths of their hearts.

Among this group of people, there are Chinese who immigrated to the United States in the early years, Chinese who have immigrated in recent years, and some second-generation Chinese, who have been unable to fully integrate into American society as outsiders.

Therefore, when they saw the Chinese-style concert hall, many people were excited and couldn't wait to listen to the performance of the "Chinese Music Orchestra" from China.

At this time, as the time progressed, it came to 6:30.

The noise in the arena gradually became much quieter.

"Boom-"

When a bell rang as if it came from ancient times, it suddenly shocked the audience, whether it was foreign attention or Chinese audience, all staring intently at the curtain that had not yet opened on the stage.

With the ringing of the bell, the ethereal wind chimes gradually sounded, and when the soft wind chimes blew like a breeze to the audience, a rapid percussion suddenly exploded, and the long overtones emitted by the bronze bell shook the audience.

The curtain was slowly lifted, and a large bell was fixed in the very center of the stage, with it as a dot around which the orchestra members were seated.

In front of him, Li Yange turned his back to the audience, waving his baton with both hands, quickly or slowly, and devoted himself to the music.

The opening of "Memories of the Forbidden City", as always, not only shocked foreign audiences who had never heard of it, but also made many Chinese compatriots feel a wave of excitement in their hearts.

It is the voice of the distant earth that nurtured our ancestors, and it is the genes that have been passed down from time to time in the blood......

The end of a song.

The audience applauded thunderously, countless people applauded, and some elderly Chinese viewers were even more excited and left tears.

The two-hour concert was not long or short, during which in addition to performing five works by Li Yange, more traditional folk music was performed.

Like "Spring River Flower Moon Night", "Plum Blossom Three Alleys", "Alpine Flowing Water", "Flat Sand and Falling Geese" and so on.

Among them, when several performers wearing Hanfu took the stage to play these traditional folk music, Zhuo Jun in the audience excitedly picked up the camera, ignored the frowning eyes of the people around him, and quickly pulled the trigger.

Fortunately, Zhuo Jun also knew to turn off the flash, otherwise he would be scolded to death by the audience around him.

……

……

After the concert, the audience left the venue one after another.

Zhuo Jun quickly followed the audience out of the concert hall, and after stopping a few excited foreign audience members outside, and asking some questions about the concert, he looked at the Chinese compatriots again.

"Wait, old gentleman!" Zhuo Jun strode over and stopped an old man.

The girl beside the old man glanced back and asked curiously, "What's the matter with this gentleman?" ”

"Hello two, I'm a reporter, I don't know if I can interview you."

"It's about concerts?"

"That's right."

After the girl said a few words to the old man, the old man nodded and said, "Friend reporter, if you have any questions, you can ask." ”

"Sir, I just saw that you seemed to be more excited, is it because of the concert?"

"Yes, one of the songs in this concert, "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night", reminds me of the days when I celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival with my family in my hometown many years ago."

As he spoke, the old man's eyes gradually emptied, as if he had fallen into a memory, and finally sighed and said: "The tide of the spring river is even with the sea, and the bright moon on the sea is born together." Thousands of miles with the waves, where there is no moon in the spring river......"

When the last few sentences were recited, the old man's emotions gradually became excited, and finally he burst into tears.

Seeing her grandfather like this, the girl hurriedly helped him walk in the direction of the parking lot.

Looking at the back of the old man leaving, Zhuo Jun pondered for a while and took a photo of the back of the two.

Two days passed.

On the front page of a local "Chinese Daily", it was written "Spring River Flower Moonlit Night, Where is the Hometown".
