Star road

Dad, how are you now?Are you watching me from the sky?

It is said that every star in the sky represents a person who has passed away. If you miss him, just look up at the stars, and he will know your heart.When you see the stars twinkle, it's a response from someone you miss.

In this season, the weather in Mela City is suitable and the night is refreshing.Chen Xing sat in front of the window, facing the sky full of stars outside.This night, the starlight seems to be particularly bright, which reminds Chen Xing of the time when he played the star song countless times.

He holds a diary in his left hand and a pen in his right.After Chen Xiao passed away, Chen Xing developed the habit of writing a diary.He commemorated his father in this way, and poured out his thoughts to him.He doesn't write every day, he only writes down when he misses Chen Xiao especially, or when he has other concerns.Each article is written in the tone of a letter.

Chen Xing smiled at Xing Ye, and the tip of the pen continued to wander.

Dad, tomorrow is the first day of the Mela Violin Competition.You said before that the current big and small competitions are too cumbersome. When the mind is not settled, frequent competitions will wear down the perception of music.But having no performance experience can also hinder progress.So, I just participated in some B domestic performances and small competitions properly before.

This competition was recommended by Professor Lin, and I did not refuse.Professor Lin once saw one of my performances in our school, and chatted with me many times afterwards. I think he has a good impression of me.I don't think I have a very clear understanding of music now. I will participate because this is a competition that you have participated in, Dad.

I'm not sure about tomorrow's competition, but I will try to remember that the violin is like a partner in a duet, when you play the melody, if you cooperate with her and love her, she will not let you down.

……

Dad, one more thing, I think, I have someone I like.I told you, he was my sunshine, who saved me from the darkness, without him, I would not be what I am now.He is a strong and gentle person, I adore him, admire him, and rely on him... But now I suddenly realize that I actually still like him, as if this is an inevitable result.

Because, I knew he was sad when he had a lover, and I kissed him uncontrollably.

Although he may not understand the meaning of that kiss.

I know that he and I are not on the same scale.He's on top, and I, to put it bluntly, was bought by him.I think he bought me for a reason, most likely because I look like someone.But I don't care, what I care about is that I am too weak in such a status.

But I like him.

Perhaps, this is doomed.

I don't know what to do, Dad, what should I do?

...But I understand one thing, you must go your own way.Otherwise, I can only be an accessory without that qualification.

This time around, I will do my best and I will work hard to get this qualification.

……

The significance of the Mela Violin Competition is more important than the competition itself.It is not the biggest competition in the world, nor is it the most difficult competition, but world-renowned artists pay special attention to it.

Of course, there is the artist's respect for their predecessors, or a tradition.

On this point, we can see from the far-reaching influence left by musicians such as Beethoven, Schubert and Paganini.

The reason why Chen Xing said that this competition will allow him to obtain certain qualifications is because, from another aspect, the Mera Competition is an opportunity to present himself to the world's classical music community.

Apart from its commemorative significance, the Mela Youth Violin Competition exists to inject new vitality into the music industry.As long as I leave a little impression on people in this competition, the road to music in the future will be much smoother.

For example, if you choose Miss World, even if you only get one of the top ten finalists, your net worth after returning to China will still be many times higher than before.

Perhaps not so exaggerated here, but the same reason.

The venue of the competition is the Mela Concert Hall, and dozens of young people from all over the world are about to take an important step in their musical journey.Chen Xing looked at several contestants with different hair and skin colors passing by, and suddenly had a strange feeling that there is something beyond the sky.

He had little experience in the world in the past, suffered too much, and was protected very well by Xiao Ye later, when he suddenly saw something new, the first thing he felt was not something new, but an involuntary precaution and vigilance.

"Master Chen, are you okay?" A Biao asked worriedly from the side.Chen Xing's face changed just now, and A Biao, who had been observing him with confidence, naturally noticed it.

"I'm fine, it's just something new." Chen Xing smiled slightly.

A Biao also laughed, "Master Chen, is he referring to this concert hall or those people? I'm a rough person, and I don't understand these elegant things, but the Mera Concert Hall is world-famous, even I have heard of it before. What do you think is new?" It's normal. But foreigners, you occasionally met one or two in country B, right?" He usually doesn't like to talk too much, but now he seems a little nervous when he sees Chen Xing, so he said a few more words on purpose.

Chen Xing stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, "I've never seen so many at once before..." Indeed, there were almost foreigners around them.

"Just look at it and get used to it." A Biao said reassuringly.

In fact, of course, Chen Xing would not do anything because there were foreigners all around him, but he was really nervous.The tension was inexplicable.

So when it was his turn in the preliminary competition, Chen Xing didn't feel in the mood until halfway through the first virtuosic piece of music.Maybe because he had other distracting thoughts in his mind, he didn't have the sense of ease and ease he used to perform on stage.Fortunately, he has developed a good habit over the years. He tried his best to force himself into the state of piano practice, pretending to be surrounded by crabapple flowers, and he was still standing among the crabapple flowers... When the second Bach sonata came, the situation improved.

But the stage and greenhouse of the competition are completely different.The biggest difference is that there is an orchestra on the playing field.It's not that Chen Xing has no experience of performing with a band, and he also cooperated with this band before the competition. However, at this moment, he imagined that this is a Begonia flower house, and it still feels contrary to harmony.

This feeling may not be obvious to others, but he himself feels it is particularly strong.
