Chapter 36 Shanzhai Piano Song Liang Zhu

Tano Kazuo applauded: "Please play a song for us."

Li Changgeng sat in front of the piano and glanced around him. Everyone around him had all kinds of expressions. Only Ichiho Tian Ye had the most upright attitude!

After a proficient fingering practice, Li Changgeng began to enter the state, and Liang Zhu's beautiful and moving melody began to flow out slowly from his fingertips. Li Changgeng hadn't touched the piano for a while, and the piano he used this time was incomparable to the Stanway, who had more than 2 million soft sister coins in his family in later generations. But Li Changgeng was playing the whole chapter of Liang Zhu with passion.

The entire violin concerto of about twenty-six minutes is to be expressed in the form of a piano solo. First, it is described in five minutes by the theme of Liang Zhu's love, then a happy school life, and then eighteen times. Starting from ten minutes, the second paragraph, Zhu Yingtai will not be able to go home to fight the marriage, and finally cry. The second paragraph is about the same length as the first paragraph, about eleven minutes. The last paragraph is transformed into a butterfly, which is the reappearance of the theme.

When the butterfly that entered the climax of the most familiar melody sounded, Li Changgeng's playing had completely entered a state. At this time, it didn't matter what piano was, and politics and diplomacy were no longer important. All he wanted to express the most beautiful music in China.

When the last note ended, Li Changgeng raised his hands exaggeratedly, then slowly lowered his hands for dozens of seconds, and then stood up to salute.

The audience members did not applaud wildly until Li Changgeng got up and saluted, and within a few seconds, people applauded wildly. With the end of the six-minute applause, the German leader Scondra in Kazakhstan stepped forward to hug Li Changgeng, "Dear Mr. Mayor, I am German leader Scondra in Kazakhstan. I would like to say to you to be sure that you should not be the mayor. You should play your oriental music in the golden hall in Vienna, and you will become the respect of the world and become a musician."

"Thank you for your praise, but I think music is needed more here in China and Harbin." Li Changgeng replied with a smile.

Then Li Changgeng was surrounded by a group of foreign ministers and ladies, and was constantly hugged and kissed. When Li Changgeng struggled to break out of the encirclement, his whole face turned red.

After walking on stage to salute, Li Changgeng said, "Thank you ladies for your enthusiasm. I decided not to wash my face tonight, because this is the best praise you have given me. I just played a traditional Chinese love story, named Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. This story has been circulating in China for nearly 1,400 years.

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty in ancient China, there was a girl named Zhu Yingtai (also known as Zhu Jiumei), a Zhu family in Shangyu, Zhejiang. She disguised herself as a man and went to study in Hangzhou. On the way, she met a classmate Liang Shanbo from Kuaiji, and the two of them walked together. They had three years of classmate and had a deep relationship, but Liang Shanbo never knew that Zhu Yingtai was a daughter.

Later, Zhu Yingtai interrupted his studies and returned to his hometown. When Liang Shanbo went to Shangyu to visit Zhu Yingtai, he realized that his friend of three years was actually a girl Hongzhuang and wanted to propose marriage to Zhu's family. At this time, Zhu Yingtai had betrothed to Ma Wencai.

Later, when Liang Shanbo was the county magistrate in Yin, he passed away due to excessive depression. When Zhu Yingtai got married, he passed by Liang Shanbo's grave and suddenly strong wind blew, hindering the progress of the wedding team. Zhu Yingtai was under the sedan chair and went to Liang Shanbo's grave to worship. Liang Shanbo's grave collapsed and cracked. Zhu Yingtai threw himself into the grave. A pair of colorful butterflies appeared in the grave behind him, and both flew away from the world.

This folk legend presents a beautiful and earth-shaking love. Zhu Yingtai, who was born in a wealthy family, resisted the unequal treatment and constraints of women by traditional society, and won the opportunity to study and educate boys. Then he challenged the long-standing concept of "equal matches", fell in love with Liang Shanbo, a commoner who had been classmates for three years, and fought for freedom of marriage for himself. However, the conservative era broke up and separated. But Liang and Zhu's love finally moved the world! The two dissolved into a colorful, free sky, transformed into butterflies, and wherever they passed, flowers bloomed everywhere.

Through the superficial thoughts of resisting feudal ethics expressed by Zhu Yingtai's dressed as a man, we can further grasp the demand for equality between men and women in social progress, and call for feminism to return to this deep national subconscious. Without Liang Zhu's tragedy, people would not recognize the weaknesses and limitations of the traditional arranged marriage system and would not be able to see the possibility of other choices. The traditional marriage system would continue to remain the same.

If Liang Zhu's marriage was cruelly destroyed has strong tragic significance, then its "turning into butterfly" ending is full of positive significance. Things that cannot be pursued by living will continue to "pursuing" after death and finally get it. The ending of "turning into butterfly" is a vivid reflection of the increasingly accumulated strong social psychology that impacts feudal ethics. For thousands of years, this ending has inspired people to fight tenaciously against all stubborn feudal forces."

With Li Changgeng's remarks and evaluations, the ladies in the audience applauded wildly while asking him to re-interpret him. Li Changgeng sat in front of the piano as everyone wished, and this time Li Changgeng got into a state. When a song was finished, Li Changgeng recited passionately: "Life is different and death is buried together, and it is not in vain to be sworn in a furnace of incense. Tears dyed their wings into colorful butterflies, and will never be separated forever."

After listening to this love story, my feelings about this piano music became deeper, especially the most beautiful melody of the butterfly turned echoed in the hearts of everyone present.

Li Changgeng smiled and stood up to salute everyone. Of course, the applause was even more intense this time, but he did not have the enthusiasm to hug and kiss the same as last time. Most people were attracted by the plot and the wonderful performance. At this time, it was the rise of the feminist movement, and the women present were thinking about how to answer this story to their friends.

Kazuo Tano finally squeezed in from the tall and large foreign walls, and bowed respectfully in front of Li Changgeng three times. "Li Sang, you are the best Asian musician I have ever seen. You are so amazing. You made me recognize a truth that the nation is the world."

"Yes, I'm glad that Ichi-kun, you can understand this truth. I also believe that you can understand the feelings brought by this story and music better than those Europeans. Because our culture is the same, this is the recognition of the common values ​​and worldview of our two nations for more than a thousand years. Look at the Chinese music played with the piano invented by Europeans, which can explain a truth. Musical instruments are just a carrier. This is not a key. The key lies in whether there is something from a nation. A nation is not xenophobia, but an identity of national culture."

"Li Sang, you are a visionary politician, and I deeply admire your views. I believe that our cooperation will be fruitful!"

Li Changgeng patted Tiano Kazuo and said in an educational tone: "Yes, Asia is very big, and we can put China and pretend to be Japan. We are natural friends."

Tano Kazuo nodded repeatedly. "You said very well. China and Japan are natural friends, but why didn't you lend money to the banks of the Great Japanese Empire, but to the Russians' Daosheng Bank. As a friend, I will definitely try my best to provide you with more favorable loan conditions than the Russians, and will not even require land and taxes as collateral as before."

Li Changgeng changed his mind. As long as the Japanese dared to borrow money, what else should I be afraid of? China and Japan will have a battle sooner or later. If you find an excuse, you can be a high-sounding debt. Now you might as well give the Japanese some small profits first, and I will swallow them with all my money and profits. This method will be seen in the future. If we don’t have to do anything, we can say ten or eight of them without any brains.

"Ichiojun, the proposal to lend to the Russians is also for diplomatic considerations, and I hope you can understand. But I promise you that I am fully capable of making loan requests for the same amount to the Japanese bank. But I will prepare for a while and make the loan plan detailed, so I will not make it difficult for Japanese friends!"
