Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 7 School Song, That's It

After the song was over, the four stars suddenly became silent, and it was obvious that they had not yet recovered from the shock.

After a long while, Lin Xina broke the silence, "Sister, is this song amazing?"

Before Xu Lingyue could even speak, Cao Xing said, "It's quite impressive. The main thing is that they were able to mix the teaching content into the song. It's catchy and not boring at all. This alone is very unusual."

"Yes." Zhang Yunfeng also nodded and agreed: "The rhyming poem at the beginning shows a lot of skill. Teacher Zhou is really good."

"Damn it." Lin Xina looked regretful, "If I had come here a day earlier, I would have been able to see him. What a pity."

"There will be a chance in the future." The host interrupted, "The graduation ceremony seems to be about to begin. Let's go down and watch the ceremony together."

The barrage was also very lively.

[It’s such a pity. I want to see who that teacher Zhou is.]

[He hid his identity and took up teaching in rural areas. His first work was this kind of work. He really has the demeanor of a hermit master.]

[Why does it feel a bit fake? Can a volunteer teacher really write this? ]

[I just checked the copyright website. The songwriter of this song is indeed surnamed Zhou, but his name has been anonymized. The registration date was five years ago.]

[Then it should not run away]

[Nana seems to be a bit of a fangirl, haha]

[Xingxing is really something. No matter what, you can't interrupt. It's very rude.]

[It is understandable that you want to show off in front of the goddess]

After several stars came downstairs, the program crew had already arranged benches for them to watch the ceremony at the playground.

By the time they took their seats, all the sixth grade graduates had already lined up on the playground.

[What's going on? There's not even a school uniform?]

[It's still school uniforms. Look at the clothes they wear. They are all patched and washed until they are faded. It's good enough to have something to wear! ]

[But they are full of energy and spirit, and each one of them stands like a javelin. ]

[Indeed, we didn’t stand so straight during military training.]

In the program, Yang Tiezhu, acting principal, walked up to the flag stand and picked up the loudspeaker.

"Students, today may be one of the most important days in your life, because on this day, you have your first academic diploma!"

"Don't underestimate this certificate, it's just a primary school diploma, but in our Siyuan Village it's already a big deal, because your parents and your ancestors have been struggling for food all their lives, and they didn't have any chance to study properly!"

"You have the opportunity to study like this today, first of all, thanks to the government's policies and funding, which made this school possible!"

"Then! The person you should thank the most is Teacher Zhou. Without his hard work, you would not have had the chance to finish these six years of study!"

The audience burst into applause.

"Originally, it was Mr. Zhou who was supposed to be here to present you with your diplomas, but he didn't want to see you cry, so he left early..."

The camera zoomed in and focused, and some children on the playground already had red eyes.

"Next, those who hear your name come up to receive your diploma... Yang Shuigen!"

"To!"

"Liu Dayuan!"

"To!"

"Red three-color!"

"To!"

"Fang Zhaodi!"

"To!"

…………

The camera swept to the periphery and saw that the playground was already surrounded by villagers who came to watch the fun.

Many of them were parents of students there. They were so excited that their eyes filled with tears when they saw their children getting their red graduation certificates.

A group of younger children from upstairs also poked their heads out from the corridor and looked at the scene with envy and longing on their faces.

【Why do I want to cry when watching this】

[What a sacred feeling, it's totally different from when I received my diploma]

[Because the meaning is different, this book is something that changes their destiny]

[Looking at these children, I feel so happy]

"Okay, all the diplomas have been distributed." Yang Tiezhu took out two envelopes from his pocket. "Teacher Zhou gave these to me before he left, and asked me to open them at the graduation ceremony."

Swish!
Almost all the students raised their heads, their eyes sparkling. After tearing open the first envelope in public, Yang Tiezhu was stunned after taking a look.

The students in the audience were very anxious. They frowned and glared at him, silently urging him: "Read faster!"
After a long while, another volunteer teacher nearby couldn't help but remind him, "Principal?"

Yang Tiezhu came back to his senses, choked up and raised the letter paper and receipt in his hand.

"Teacher Zhou promised to continue to subsidize the school's meal expenses. Children upstairs, you don't have to worry about not having food to eat in school in the future."

"Teacher Zhou said that he hopes that each of you can eat well, study hard and become a useful person!"

There was an immediate cheer from upstairs, and some sixth graders in the audience were already crying.

Looking at this touching scene, Lin Xina's eyes sparkled, "He is really a good person..."

Xu Lingyue said nothing and her eyes seemed a little dazed.

[Wow, I really like this teacher Zhou]

[Please, the program team, please find this Teacher Zhou! ]

[No wonder the villagers support him so much, Xingxing didn’t deserve the beating…]

Yang Tiezhu on the stage tore open the second letter and said, "This letter is written to you."

Cleared his throat forcefully.

"Classmates, please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye."

"I don't want to see you crying. I hope that the way you stay in my memory will always be happy and joyful!"

"In the past six years, I have watched you grow from a naughty kid with snot bubbles hanging from your nose to a sensible and polite child. I am very pleased."

"But all good things must come to an end. There will always be a day of separation."

"My mission is completed, but your life has just begun!"

“Primary school is just the first step in your long journey of learning. There are even more difficult junior high and high schools waiting for you in the future. I hope you can continue to work hard, strive to get out of this mountain, cross the single-plank bridge of the college entrance examination, and use knowledge to change your destiny!”

“I also hope that after you finish your studies, you can return home to build your hometown and use the knowledge you have learned to find ways to change the fate of your hometown!”

"If that day really comes, I will be very happy and relieved."

"I am in the world outside the mountains, waiting for the good news that you have passed the imperial examination!"

The letter was short, but it made all the students on the playground cry.

Several photographers were also very understanding. They aimed their telephoto lenses directly at the students who were crying the loudest, scanning them one by one, bringing out the most infectious force.

After making a summary speech of encouragement, Yang Tiezhu stepped down from the stage amid sparse applause.

Then, the female monitor with short hair walked up to the podium.

After performing the Young Pioneer salute, she gave a report-style speech on behalf of the whole class.

The content is basically templated and unremarkable.

But at the end of her speech, she suddenly changed the subject:
"Before graduation, let's sing the school song one last time. This is what Teacher Zhou left for us!"

Cao Xing sat up straight immediately, "Huh, there's actually a school song?"

Xu Lingyue also perked up and looked at the children on the playground with shining eyes.

There was no accompaniment. The female monitor just made a conducting gesture with her hand, and dozens of children on the scene sang in unison.

Where is the world full of flowers?

If it really existed then I would definitely go

I want the highest mountain to stand there
Don’t care if it’s a cliff or not…”

"What song is this?" Lin Xina looked at Xu Lingyue in surprise, "I don't think I've heard of it before?"

Xu Lingyue shook her head. "I haven't heard of it either."

"No...it can't be another original song of his?!" Lin Xina was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out of her sockets.

"Live hard, love hard, even if it means death

Don’t ask for anyone’s satisfaction, just be worthy of yourself
Regarding ideals, I never choose to give up
Even on grey days..."

"Xiao Cao, have you heard of this song?" Zhang Yunfeng asked curiously.

"No." Cao Xing shook his head repeatedly, "The melody of this song is so flat, it's not very nice."

"But the lyrics are pretty good." Zhang Yunfeng commented: "It's quite inspiring."

Zhang Hong, sitting in front of the computer, shook her head.

Is this the only thing worth it for me to go around the world looking for someone?
I don’t know what’s wrong with that lady!
