There was a story behind it. When Zhang Yuanqi entered the music industry, she already was somewhat accomplished on TV and other arenas. However, many people criticized her for entering the music industry, as her voice was not as clear and beautiful as the traditional singers of that period. Her voice was somewhat husky, so people were unaccepting of such a voice. They criticized Zhang Yuanqi for not being able to sing, and was not suited for singing. They urged her to go back to filming movies. However, with the advent of “I don’t Believe”, which Zhang Yuanqi first sang on a variety show, the final line, “I don’t believe, that my songs will be left unanswered forever” stirred the audience. This was the opening song to Zhang Yuanqi’s dominance of the music industry. From then on, no one doubted Zhang Yuanqi’s ability to sing!
A good song!
A classic piece of work!
From a while ago, Zhang Ye did not dare underestimate this world’s literary level. For such a classic song, if it was used in Zhang Ye’s world, he dared to guarantee that it would be extremely popular.
After the song was done, the girl received a warm round of applause!
“Alright!”
You sang well!”
“Haha, it’s sung not worse than a Heavenly Queen!”
Parents were more lenient towards children. Regardless if they sang well, everyone would support them. All of them gave their encouragement, making it very lively.
The third program was also singing. It was a high school boy singing rock.
The fourth program was choral music. They sang a traditional repertoire, “Ah, My Motherland”. However, Zhang Ye had never heard of it because it had not existed in his world.
The program carried on one after another.
The New Year’s Party was almost half done.
At this moment, the bickering rival of Cao Mengmeng, Lili was no longer in the student seats. She was up next, so she was waiting backstage.
“It’s Lili’s turn.”
“She’s also reciting poetry?”
“Seems so. No idea what’s she’s reciting.”
“Finally it’s a program from our classmate!”
Once the program ended, the female host announced, “The next program will be a poetry recital. The performer is Chen Lili. Everyone, please give her a welcoming applause!”
Amidst the applause, Lili appeared on stage as she bowed slightly.
Cao Mengmeng tsked and looked up the stage, “She better not make a mistake. She looks nervous.”
Lili was indeed nervous, but she still took out her manuscript. With a deep breath, she began reciting, however, the first line stunned Cao Mengmeng!
“The furthest distance in the world is not the distance between opposite sides of the world. It is that you don’t know that I love you, when I stand in front of you. “The furthest distance in the world is not that you don’t know I love you when I stand in front of you. It is when I cannot say I love you, when I love you so madly.” Lili recited.
“She’s reciting it pretty well.”
“Flying bird and fish? I like that poem.”
A few of her classmates began to chat.
However, Cao Mengmeng cursed, “Then what am I to recite!?”
“Ah? Mengmeng? What’s wrong?” A male classmate asked with concern.
Cao Mengmeng cried loudly, “I also prepared this poem! Lili has scooped it from me!”
A party could not have two similar programs, especially poetry recital. Two people reading the same poem? That just wasn’t right.
Teacher Leng and the surrounding parents also heard this.
The middle-aged newspaper editor exclaimed, “Little friend, then hurry and change poems?”
Teacher Leng also said, “Mengmeng, you were planning on this poem for your program too? Why didn’t you report it?”
“Everyone did not report either. I only decided on the poem this afternoon.” Cao Mengmeng was also worried, and was a bit freaked out.
Teacher Leng suggested, “Then try changing another poem? Doesn’t Teacher Zhang Ye have several works?”
Cao Mengmeng said, “But, but I didn’t prepare!”
The middle-aged man said with a wry smile, “Zhang Ye’s other poems don’t suit her. ‘Dead Water’? ‘The Answer’? These are all used to deride others. Even ‘See Me or Not’ is not suited for the occasion. Besides, that daughter of Father Wei had previously recited it at his wake, so it’s not suitable for the party.”
Teacher Leng also realized that it was true, “There’s really nothing appropriate from Zhang Ye’s poems. Then…why don’t we forget it. I’ll inform backstage to cancel your program.”
Cao Mengmeng refused, “No way, no way, no way! I have to recite!”
Zhang Ye also interjected, “Mengmeng was looking forward to her performance, so you can’t just cancel it, right?”
Teacher Leng had a headache as she said, “But it’s already too late to change it now. Are there any suitable poems? Mengmeng wants to recite a love poem? Why not ‘Spring Flowers’?”
Lili stepped off stage amidst applause after finishing her recital.
However, the female host announced the next program, and it was a high school girl reciting, “Spring Flowers”!
