“A short road, walking and stopping ~”
“Also has a bit of distance ~”
“Don't know if I'm caressing a story or a mood ~”
“Perhaps all I'm waiting for is to be enemies with time ~”
“Seeing you again.”
“In the cool morning light.”
“Smiling so sweetly.”
“When I first knew this world…”
“…”
The bitterness and weariness experienced in the city are gradually washed away by the little things of the hometown.
In the video, the man admires the scenery along the way home.
The warm sun shines on him, and the breeze brushes past him.
Every plant and tree is so familiar and fresh.
Hometown unseen for a long time.
It seems that everything has changed.
And it seems that nothing has changed.
At this moment, he runs into the relative who has always stayed in his hometown.
The stunned gaze gradually fills with tears, revealing a sweet and warm smile.
【Wen He is really good at it, how on earth did he manage to make a song both depressing and healing.】
【One second you're still rushing around in the cold big city, letting the wind and rain beat you, and the next you're back in the small countryside, seeing the person who loves you the most.】
【If you have time, go home and see your family more often, they are really happy just to see you.】
【I think "Seeing you again, in the cool morning light, smiling so sweetly" can also be understood as the personification of the hometown, thinking this way, it's actually romantic ~】
【Three years ago, I failed in business outside and owed a lot of money. After suffering a lot and paying it all back, I returned to my hometown. When I walked out of the station and stepped on that land, I really felt a warmth from the inside out, like nature was hugging me, very comfortable, very happy, I can't forget that feeling now, I haven't been to the city since then, my hometown is also very good, farming and raising some chickens and ducks, living a relaxed and comfortable life.】
“The evening breeze blows up the white hair at your temples ~”
“Smoothing the scars left by memories ~”
“In your eyes, light and dark are intertwined, a smile blossoms ~ ~”
“The twilight covers your faltering steps ~”
“Walking into the painting hidden by the bedside ~”
“In the painting, you lower your head and speak ~ ~”
People who heard this were suddenly shaken, and their whole bodies were stunned in place.
The heart that had just been healed was immediately stabbed again.
The smile that was just on his face froze directly.
Soon, tears flowed out with a "whoosh!".
The efficiency of breaking defenses can be said to be quite amazing.
The "you" in the lyrics can be anyone.
Your father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, maternal grandmother, maternal grandfather…
When they were young, they sent you to the station, repeatedly urging you and watching you return to the big city with tears in their eyes.
Later, you said that you were busy with work and could only see them once a year, sometimes you couldn't even see them once a year.
Hearing that you were coming back for the New Year, they went to the market before dawn wrapped in thick clothes to prepare ingredients.
You said that there was a traffic jam on the road, and it might be midnight before you could get home, so let them go to sleep first. They replied, "Okay, okay, drive slowly."
But when you came back, you found that they had been guarding the door, their faces red from the cold wind.
When you saw this scene, you felt both distressed and angry: "Didn't I tell you to go to sleep first? Even if you wait for me to come back, wait at home, why are you waiting here, it's so cold here, what if you catch a cold!"
But they smiled very happily: "The village is dark, I was afraid you wouldn't find your way home, I recognize your car."
Later…
They always nagged and repeated the same things.
— "How are you doing outside? Are you eating well? You can't miss three meals a day, you have to eat an egg every day so you get nutrition."
— "Are you being wronged outside? You have to sleep well even if you're busy with work, don't stay up late, if it's too hard, go back to your hometown."
— "Are you coming home for the New Year this year? We've made sausages and pickled a lot of bacon, if you don't come back, I'll send it to you, try the taste of home."
— "Busy… It's okay, it's good to be busy, it's good to be busy, you don't have to worry about us, we're doing well in our hometown, I won't bother you, call us if you miss home."
People whose memories were evoked by the singing…
At this moment, they could no longer suppress the homesickness in their hearts.
They cried with tears streaming down their faces.
【I miss my grandma… My grandma passed away in the second year of junior high school… She persisted until I came back and saw her one last time before she breathed her last… She said that she was most worried about me, saying that I was timid and afraid that I would be bullied in the future…】
【I must go back to my hometown this year no matter what… The elderly really disappear with every meeting…】
【I'm going back to my hometown to develop after I get my salary this year. It's embarrassing to say, I haven't made much money after being out for so long, it's better to go back to my hometown and spend more time with my family.】
【That old mother who used to nag the most, passed away half a year ago… After she left, I have no relatives in this world anymore… I only found out later… that she had been urging me to get married, just because she was afraid that after she left, I would be helpless and too lonely in this world…】
“I still marvel at the vastness of the world ~”
“Also indulge in childhood sweet nothings ~”
“No truth or falsehood, no struggle, no pointless jokes ~ ~”
“I will eventually return my youth to her ~”
“Along with the summer popped from the fingertips ~”
“The movement of the heart, just goes with the wind ~”
“In the name of love, are you still willing ~ ~”
As the singing gradually came to an end, the audience's memories were stirred up once again.
It was as if a youth full of regrets was gradually passing away before their eyes.
Whether it was the midsummer or the beloved her, they eventually went with the wind.
Everything seemed to return to the starting point.
…
…
After Wen He finished his solo performance, he returned to the room where the three mentors were.
As soon as he walked in, the three mentors gave him a warm applause.
“The feeling of listening live is completely different from the live broadcast and recording, what an exaggerated singing skill…”
Xue Zhiqian's eyes were red, and his voice was a little choked up.
“Too touching… Completely sung into the heart… The emotional rendering is too powerful…”
Yang Mi cried even more, constantly wiping away tears with a tissue.
And she had already used up most of the pack of tissues next to her.
“A solo performance with an empty audience has this power, I don't dare to imagine what the scene would be like if the audience was full, I think you should not participate in The Coming One, otherwise, once you sing this, the scene will be completely out of control, the whole audience will have to cry to death.”
Even Hua Chenyu's eyes were flashing with tears.
He controlled his emotions the best, at least his voice hadn't changed.
But the evaluation he gave was also the highest.
After receiving the cheers and recognition from the three mentors, Wen He was also very embarrassed to thank them.
But compared to the initial restraint, Wen He is now able to relax a little bit.
“The song is really a good song, but isn't this not very compatible with the type of our program? It feels like it's singing about homesickness.”
The director expressed some doubts about this.
His question was quickly answered by Xue Zhiqian.
“This song seems to be singing about homesickness, but it's not actually.”
“If you listen to the whole thing, you will find that the main theme here is actually youth.”
“And it's a youth with regrets.”
“It's like the scene when graduating from junior high school and high school.”
“I think Wen He's solo performance will definitely be very explosive!”
“There is too much content contained in this song, and it doesn't seem bloated, it's simply terrifyingly strong.”
