A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television

The weather was very hot, but the weather was very hot.

(Marlena)

Marlena's home is located on the easternmost coastline of Syracuse. There is a wide road near the sea, and on the west side of the road are two-story buildings in khaki color.

Although Sicily is an island with abundant rainfall and groundwater resources, due to human destruction, the forest coverage rate on the island is only 4%, and it is khaki everywhere, even near the sea.

The house that Lu Cheng bought is just to the north of Marlena's house. The two houses are adjacent. From the second floor of Lu Cheng's house, you can directly see Marlena's yard.

These buildings on the seaside are two-story buildings running north-south. They face the road on the east side with a small courtyard gate and a courtyard on the north side. There is an old tree planted in the middle of the courtyard and some cacti planted on the edge of the courtyard.

As the sun sets, I sit on a reclining chair under the tree in the courtyard, feel the sea breeze, tune the strings of the erhu in my hand, brew my emotions, and slide the strings in my hand, and a cheerful song "Horse Racing" sounds.

As the cheerful rhythm sounds, the scene of thousands of horses galloping on the vast grassland seems to appear in front of my eyes instantly. The bright and brisk rhythm, the sound of horses' hooves, and the cheerful neighing are all performed vividly by an erhu.

There is a carriage parked in the yard of the neighbor in front. When the horse heard the music, it couldn't help but neigh, which immediately attracted the owner of the house.

Not long after, the neighbors in front and behind came out of the house one after another, stood at the door of Lu Cheng's house, and listened to this wonderful performance.

Marlena also came over curiously, greeted the neighbors, and stood outside the yard to appreciate Lu Cheng's performance.

When the song ended, the neighbors outside the yard applauded.

Lu Cheng walked to the gate of the yard, nodded to the people, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am very sorry to disturb your rest."

"It's okay, is this gentleman a musician? Your instrument looks very special, I wonder what it is called?"

"I'm just a wandering musician. This is a Chinese instrument called "Huqin"."

"It's a very special instrument, a very beautiful performance. My horse was attracted just now. I thought there were many cavalry running outside."

"It's hard to imagine that your instrument can express such a rich sound."

"Thank you for your compliments. By the way, I I just moved here and haven't met you all yet. My name is Lu Cheng. I'm from China and I'm an international student studying music. I ended up here because of the war. In the future, I may often practice my instrument at home, which will inevitably disturb you all. To apologize, I've prepared some small gifts for you all. "

Speaking of this, Lu Cheng turned around and called out to the person behind him: "Mrs. Moore, please take out the gifts I prepared for you all."

"Yes, sir."

Mrs. Moore is a maid hired by Lu Cheng from the city. She is a 40-year-old middle-aged woman with quick hands and feet. She is responsible for cleaning, washing and cooking for Lu Cheng.

Living in such a large house, Lu Cheng naturally couldn't spend his time every day cleaning, washing and cooking.

Soon, Mrs. Moore took out some gift boxes that had been prepared in advance, each of which contained some candies, chocolates, etc.

In this era, these are extremely scarce supplies, and people usually don't want to buy them.

After receiving Lu Cheng's gift, everyone's attitude became more gentle: "Lu, you are so polite."

"Lu, are you going to continue playing?"

"Of course."

"Can we go to the yard to enjoy your wonderful music?"

"No problem, Mrs. Moore, go and bring some chairs for everyone."

Everyone followed Mrs. Moore into the house and brought some chairs.

Lu Cheng sat on the chair again and plucked the strings again, playing a sad and beautiful song "Infatuated".

The melodious melody, with the power to penetrate the soul, instantly touched people's hearts, as if the sunset on the horizon was a little desolate.

They had just listened to a cheerful song, and now switched to a romantic and sad song. These people haven't reacted yet.

But when they felt the emotions brewing in the song, they all quieted down for a long time.

There is no one who can't cry with the erhu, and there is no soul that can't be sent away by the suona.

A heartbreaking song, where can I find a soulmate in the world?

Although these foreigners did not understand the music, they were also moved by the emotions in the music and unconsciously

A little sad.

After the song was over, the crowd did not applaud immediately. Malena and another young girl had slightly red eyes. Then someone asked: "Lu, what is the name of your song? It sounds very nice, but a little too sad."

"This song describes love and separation. Fate always likes to play tricks on lovers. Love may not necessarily be able to stay together for a lifetime. This song means this. Perhaps, you can call it "Life and Death Separation."

"It's a very sad name."

"It sounds so beautiful."

This group of people didn't have much culture and couldn't say any good compliments. They just kept repeating the word "nice".

Lu Cheng didn't care about them. He glanced at the two women with slightly red eyes and handed over two tissues: "Sorry, ladies, I made you think of sad things."

"Thank you, your performance is really wonderful and can touch people's hearts."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Lu Cheng smiled, re-brewed his emotions, and started a new song.

As the prelude sounded, everyone was instantly hooked by the song again, and they unconsciously recalled some regrets in their lives. Even the horses in the front yard became quiet, as if they were recalling the grassland they once were.

A saying circulated on the Internet in later generations: When the prelude of "Anhe Bridge" sounded, the dogs on the roadside all had regrets.

Although this sentence is a bit exaggerated, this song can really go straight into people's hearts, evoke regrets in people's hearts, and make people unable to calm down for a long time.

In fact, this song is more suitable for playing with horse-head fiddle, just like the wind on the grassland blowing through the heart, making people unconsciously recall the past.

The effect of the erhu playing is more desolate, infinitely magnifying the sadness in regret, making people wet their eyes unconsciously.

When the song ended, Malena took the initiative to ask: "Lu, what is the name of this song?"

"Regret."

"It's a very appropriate name. No wonder it can make people recall those regretful past events. Lu, your performance is really wonderful, and these songs are never heard before."

"This is our Chinese song, which is rarely spread to the West. In fact, I came here to bring our Eastern songs to the West, and at the same time combine Western songs to create a combination of Eastern and Western songs."

"Lu, you will definitely become a great musician. Just like Beethoven."

"Thank you."

In fact, most people here don't understand the meaning of the song, but they feel that they are a bit like the people in the song.

After that, everyone chatted for a while and then dispersed.

Lu Cheng and Malena only said a few words, and didn't get too close, keeping the distance of a new neighbor.

However, after everyone returned home, they couldn't help but start talking about their new neighbor Lu Cheng, the small gifts the new neighbor gave them, and Lu Cheng's generosity and superb skills.
