Chapter 1252: Chapter 1252 Praising Yourself is a Science 2
But ti waits for no one, she thought for a mont, and then the host said, “Ti’s up, Miss Xia, are you ready?”
Ye Xingguang thought for a mont, then nodded, “Ready.”
The host said, “Now, the stage is yours.”
Ye Xingguang nodded, “I need a piano, is that okay?”
The host said, “Of course.”
Soon, soone moved the piano over.
Ye Xingguang sat in front of the piano, her fingertips danced across the keys, testing the sound.
The host curiously asked, “Miss Xia, are you going to play a well-known song from Country A?”
Cultural export certainly includes music. A well-known and globally popular song that everyone enjoys listening to is indeed a fantastic way of cultural export. Many piano pieces in the world, such as “The Blue Danube” and “Für Elise,” are very successful examples of cultural output.
However, as the host thought about it, Country A didn’t seem to have such renowned piano pieces. Those pop songs still had a long way to go to reach the widespread influence of a piece like “Für Elise.”
After Ye Xingguang finished testing the sound, she nodded, “Yes.”
The host asked, “I wonder which song Miss Xia plans to play?”
Ye Xingguang smiled, “‘rmaid,’ a piece I composed when I was eighteen, never published before, but today, taking advantage of this opportunity, I want to play it for the people around the world.”
The host said, “Very much looking forward to it.”
Ye Xingguang didn’t play imdiately; she sat at the piano, adjusted the microphone, and began to explain her composition.
“The inspiration for creating this piece ca from Country A’s most distinctive rmaid culture. Back then, I was playing at sea when I saw a young boy sitting on a small yacht. I didn’t know if he got separated from his parents or for so other reason, drifting alone at sea. The boy said he wanted to find the rmaid at sea. The night was deep then; I rember the moon was not full, but the stars were especially bright, and the long Milky Way made the ocean night scene particularly enchanting…”
“I asked the boy why he wanted to find the rmaid. The boy told his sister especially loved rmaids. She was very sick, in the late stage of cancer, and the doctors said she didn’t have much ti left. Her only wish was to see a real rmaid before she passed. She had heard that rmaids’ singing was exceptionally beautiful, and she wanted to hear the rmaid sing…”
“I also have an elder brother who loved dearly when I was young. Even during the years I was missing, he never gave up searching for . After finding last year, he wished to give all the love he could, making up for the grievances I suffered over the years. So, when the boy said he wanted to find the rmaid to fulfill his sister’s last wish, I couldn’t refuse such a wish. So, I asked the boy to go ho and bring his sister to the sea, and by then I could fulfill his sister’s last wish…”
“Two days later, the boy really brought her to the sea, right at the spot we agreed upon. I was in the sea and sang a song for the boy’s sister.”
“I still rember the boy’s sister; she truly didn’t have much ti left. She passed after hearing my song, with a blissful smile on her lips. That sense of fulfillnt remains deeply imprinted in my mory. And when I returned ho that night, I composed this piece.”
“The piece is not long, only three minutes. It’s short and exquisite, even without much technique. Even novice pianists can use this piece to practice, yet it’s my deepest insight into rmaids.”
