I Am A Prodigy Chapter 588
Advertisement
In a short period of time, the excitement had risen to its highest.
Finally, Chen Xiaoyan's began singing under everyone's eager gaze.
"Spare some time, spare a moment
Bring your children and visit home often
Bring a smile, bring your blessings
Spend time with your loved ones and visit home often..."
The voice leaned toward cheeriness, playfulness, and intimateness.
The song was very closely associated with the atmosphere of the Spring Festival Gala. Its mood embodied the Spring Festival Gala too.
Furthermore, Chen Xiaoyan's voice was ethereal and managed to express the emotion of that song vividly.
The beginning of the song directly caught the attention of everyone's ears. It was not just their ears though, because it would more accurately be described as piercing directly into everyone's hearts.
At that moment, everyone who heard it set aside whatever they were doing. Those who were still chatting happily unknowingly lowered their voices too.
Standing before the television, Chen Xiaoyan wore a red dress. Her hair was curled up and she continued singing with the joy of the Lunar New Year.
"Mom is ready to nag you
Dad has cooked a delicious meal
Talk to Mom about life's troubles
Tell Dad what happened at work..."
With very simple lyrics that were equivalent to speaking about one's daily life, it nevertheless made everyone's heart skip a beat.
The nagging mother, the delicious meal at the table, the troubles of life, and the things at work—all those covered up 80% of the things a person goes through!
Children sitting in front of the television looked at their parents by instinct and noticed that they were listening more intently than anyone else.
"Visit home often, visit home often
Even if it's to wash the chopsticks and clean the dishes for Mom
Old folks don't ask much of their children
Their life wasn't easy, but all they wish for is a reunion
Visit home often, visit home often
Even if it's to massage Dad's back and shoulders
Old folks don't ask much of their children
They spend their life worrying, but all they wish for is peace and happiness..."

The singing continued, and she drew out her voice for a long period. Although it remained gentle, it carried traces of emotion at the same time too. Her words reached right out to everyone's hearts.
Young people felt choked up and were robbed of their words.
The elderly stared blankly at the television with emotional expressions.
"It's so amazing!"
Somewhere in Capital, a gray-haired grandmother suddenly spoke as tears began streaming down her eyes.
At the age of 96, one of her greatest pleasures in life was to watch the Spring Festival Gala. She heard about the invitation of a young male idol from the Stick Nation during that year's Spring Festival Gala, but despite the unhappiness she felt in her heart, she still insisted on watching the gala.
Perhaps the younger generation did not understand that song too well, but the old lady understood it clearly. Having lived for so long, that song sang right into her heart.
Her eyes swept softly across the faces of her many descendants and uttered four words, "Peace is a blessing."
"Grandma, let me help you massage your back and rub your shoulders," her ten-year-old great-granddaughter suddenly said at that moment.
"Okay, okay..." The old lady immediately smiled from ear to ear.
...
At another home.
A 20-year-old college student listened to Chen Xiaoyan's song and fell silent for a moment. When he looked at his mother who was still busy washing dishes in the kitchen, his eyes suddenly became wet.
He got up and ran over, "Mom, let me wash the dishes for you."
His mother's hand suddenly stopped while washing the dishes. Puzzled, she smiled and said, "Okay."
"Mom, you've gone through so much trouble. I'll definitely come home more often in the future."
"It's no trouble." His mother placed the plate down, then turned her back and wiped her tears.
...
A reunion dinner at the dinner table.
A father with salt-and-pepper hair suddenly took out a wine glass and poured a drink for his son.
"Son, I know that your work is tough outside. You don't need to hide anything from us. Just let us know. Our doors are always open for you."

"Dad..."
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, do you understand? When you're free...visit home more often."
"Mm, okay dad. Here's a toast to you..."
...
At a construction site.
A group of migrant workers working had been crying since early on. They were still unable to buy tickets and go home during the Spring Festival.
"Hey, Mom, I've already thought about it. Once the tickets are available in two days, I'll go back home!"
"Mom, don't worry, I'll take leave from work. I won't lose my job!"
"I'll go home and visit you..."
One song silenced countless families and triggered tears from everyone.
The song had very simple lyrics, but it touched everyone's hearts deeply. Whether it was men, women, or children, they were all instantly captured by the song. Those who were originally voicing stark disapproval of the Spring Festival Gala were speechless at that moment, as were Hyun-Min Kim's diehard fans.
Firstly, that song had convinced them of everything. Secondly, they could not find any fault in the song after seeing the reaction of their family members.
[Woo, I should've known earlier that I ought to prepare some tissues beside me for Singer Y's song.]
[Damn, I have tissues with me, but they're not enough. My entire family is wiping away tears.]
[The song is so amazing. Every word is heartbreaking.]
[Visit home often, visit home often. Sob, sob. I've been working busily for half my life, and I only understand that principle now.]
[I've worked for as long as I can remember. But what do our parents want? Don't they just want their family to be together?]
[My mother just asked me who sang this song. She said she'll be the singer's fan in the future.]
[That's nothing! My grandfather and grandmother are all talking about how good the singer and song is!]
[Damn, when you think about how this song was nearly scrapped from the Spring Festival Gala, I feel like cursing at the director.]
[Yeah, this song was made for the Spring Festival Gala. The director is an idiot. He nearly became the villain here!]
There was no doubt that Chen Xiaoyan convinced everyone with her song and set off an explosion throughout the entire internet. She had practically killed two birds with one stone!
After the song ended, a rare scene happened—below the Spring Festival Gala's stage, the audience stood up all at once to deliver an enthusiastic and endless applause!
On closer scrutiny, one would notice that there were people who have actually started to pack their things in preparation to leave. They were actually...going home!
Rugao City.
Ye Lingchen's home.
An entire family gathered together. There were grandparents, seven paternal aunts, eight maternal aunts, as well as uncles from both the paternal and maternal side. More than twenty people were sitting at the tables and it was very lively.
They also listened to the song carefully and everyone praised the talents of the lyricist. Xu Zhen and Ye Jin sighed and felt a little downcast in their hearts.
"Auntie, let me rub your shoulders," Zhang Yunxi said to Xu Zhen.
Just after the New Year, her parents dragged her to Ye Lingchen's house. In the words of her parents, they wanted her status as the Ye family's future daughter-in-law to be settled. After all, it was a tough task to find such a good son-in-law.
"Okay. You're a very good girl." Xu Zhen was happy.
"Hey, this song is really good. What else do parents ask of their children? Don't all parents want to have a peaceful and blessed reunion? It's a pity that some accomplished people can't even accompany their parents at home during the New Year. What's the point, then?"
It was Ye Lingchen's second aunt who became emotional. Her words caused Xu Zhen and Ye Jin to have rather odd expressions...
