186: Chapter 186 National Day Gala 2: "Dawn Breaks"

"It was an autumn, the wind so lingering, reminding me of them, those helpless eyes."

...

"I watched Mom and Dad walk away like that, leaving me in this strange world, not knowing what risks the future would hold."

"I want to hold her hand tightly, Mom tells me there will still be hope, seeing the sun come out."

"Mom smiled, the sky has brightened."

Han Hong spoke, her voice using airy tones and soft mixing, as if whispering in a child's ear.

Her voice seemed to have magic, sketching pictures before the audience's eyes.

In one autumn, a child lost his deeply loving parents forever.

Leaving him alone in this strange world.

Leaving him feeling dazed and helpless.

Han Hong's singing suddenly soared, shifting from a suppressed narrative to a cry full of vitality.

The child wanted to hold Mom's hand tightly, but Mom only smiled and told him that there would still be hope.

Mom hoped the child would carry his father's expectations and live well, live bravely.

To be happy.

To be joyful.

Suddenly, Han Hong's voice became extremely penetrating but not harsh, filled with struggle and pleading.

The child finally saw the sun come out, Mom smiled, the sky has brightened.

He found the light of hope in despair; Mom smiled with relief, knowing that everything she did was worth it.

In the days to come, she would turn into a gentle breeze, tidying the child's messy hair at every moment.

Han Hong's emotions were also released; her eyes reddened, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

Chen Shaoping liked this song very much, but was also afraid to listen to it; every time, his heart felt stifled.

"Listening to the song and watching the animation on the big screen, who could hold back from crying?"

"When the words 'the sky has brightened' came out, my goosebumps and tears exploded together!"

"Netizens who aren't parents might not feel it as much, but after becoming a parent, you really just want your children to live happily, healthily, and safely.

For this, parents can give up everything, including their lives."

"Mom, Dad, come reunite in my dream tonight, okay?"

"Teacher Han Hong's performance is truly textbook-level, the emotional progression is too incredible! The studio can fix pitch, but this kind of torn yet healing emotion in a live performance can never be fixed!"

"Salute to Teacher Han Hong and Young Master Ping! This is what you call music!"

The netizens were emotional, and the audience at the scene was no different.

They couldn't even immediately post a bullet comment to express their surging emotions after hearing the song.

Countless audience members who were already parents were wiping away tears.

They projected themselves onto the parents on the big screen, wondering if they encountered a similar situation.

Whether they could be as great as the parents on the screen.

The answer was very simple.

The reason was also very simple.

...

Zhang Ying had approached Chen Shaoping at some point, having already changed out of her formal dress.

Perhaps influenced by the song "the sky has brightened," her expression was sad.

She grabbed one of Chen Shaoping's hands, hugging it tightly to her chest, and said in a soft voice.

"Da Ping, if we have a child in the future and encounter such a situation, what would we do?"

Chen Shaoping heard this and felt something was off; she was completely imagining themselves as the child's parents.

"Darling, our child will be safe for a lifetime. Even if such a situation occurs, I will do my utmost to let you and the child survive."

"The child would be too lonely alone; I'll only be at peace if you are with him."

Zhang Ying's nose wrinkled, and she said with a sob, "Hubby, if that's the case, wouldn't your life be too bitter?"

After saying that, she couldn't help but kiss Chen Shaoping's face.

This scene happened to be captured by the camera and broadcast live.

The vast number of netizens instantly exploded.

"Young Master Ping, I knew you had bad intentions writing so many songs for my Ying. You actually succeeded, you beast."

"Let go of her, let me do it!"

"What are you getting so worked up for! I think the two of them are great together. A talented man and a beautiful woman, mutual affection, a man and woman alone together, a devoted couple..."

"Wake up! Teacher Young Master Ping is so talented, there are plenty of female stars who would want him; I actually think Zhang Ying is the one getting the better deal."

"Turning from a fan to a hater!"

"The one above, get lost, we're not missing one like you."

...

Chen Shaoping held Zhang Ying's hand and said quite philosophically: "You're wrong, Darling. The ones who truly suffer are those who stay alive; those who leave cannot feel the pain."

"I just hope that decades from now, you will still remember me."

"Hubby, I will, I will always remember you." Zhang Ying looked at him with love, tears in her eyes.

Chen Shaoping gently wiped the tears from her face with his hand and held her tightly in his arms.

Thinking to himself: This girl is still so sentimental.

As the program continued.

The gala reached its halfway point.

Wang Bo sat on the stage with a group of children.

Together, they would perform the song "the lonely warrior."

Serving as their background were firefighters, police officers, border guards, medical personnel, island patrollers stationed on remote islands, and anonymous researchers developing the nation's vital equipment...

The big screen also continuously played the glorious deeds of these unsung heroes.

When the young soldier from 'Mother Chen Asks About Bravery' appeared on the screen.

Chen Shaoping's eyes also grew hot, and Zhang Ying wept directly in his arms.

It wasn't sadness, but more pride, being moved, admiration, and gratitude.

At this moment, the song "the lonely warrior" was personified.

It told everyone bluntly that these were all heroes.

They were all heroes who should be remembered by everyone.

Beside them, Li Qian kept waving her arms and shouting, wanting Wang Bo on stage to see her immediately.

At this moment.

She wasn't CEO Li of Tongxing Entertainment, but just Wang Bo's little fangirl.

No.

She should be a 'big sister' fan.

"There is no such thing as peaceful years, it's just that someone is carrying the burden for us."

"I hope the country improves the treatment of these heroes, let them enter the textbooks, enter more people's hearts, so the world can remember them forever."

"Child, are you okay in heaven? Mom and Dad haven't forgotten you, the country hasn't forgotten you."

Meanwhile, in countless homes across the country, countless children stood in front of their televisions.

With serious expressions, they followed the TV, singing the song line by line.

They might not fully understand the deep meaning of the song, but the lyrics themselves were enough to move them.

They liked the lyrics, they liked the song.

After the song finished, the netizens felt a fire burning in their hearts with nowhere to release it.

This respect for heroes intertwined with dissatisfaction with certain phenomena in reality, making them think of a negative example right before their eyes.

So, spontaneously, they swarmed into the short video account of a certain female star surnamed Yan.

They began a frantic output of comments.

She does nothing all day, has nearly a million for expenses a year, yet she isn't satisfied and even 'cries' about being poor online.

Full of emotion.

Her acting was much stronger than when she was in TV dramas.

She shared the same nature as the host surnamed Dong who asked 'Why not eat meat porridge??'

Neither of them were any good.
