"A Diao,
Living somewhere in Tibet.
Like a vulture,
Perched on the mountaintop..."
While the audience was still reeling from the shock that this song came from Listening Rain, Queen Balloon began her performance.
Her voice was clear and pure.
Finally, it let everyone know her identity.
Zhang Xiaoqi, when she started singing rock, her husky voice completely hid her identity. But this time, when her voice rang out, everyone guessed her identity.
Hua Guo has Tibetan areas in the west. Although it's not usually called Tibet, the audience could still understand the lyrics, which is why Su Yu didn't change it.
This song, in a folk style, interprets the story of a girl who, despite experiencing many hardships, continues to move forward.
Paired with Zhang Xiaoqi's unique voice, it was an instant hit.
"A Diao,
In front of the Jokhang Temple,
Covered in sunlight.
Pour a pot of sweet tea,
We'll talk about the past..."
Standing alone in the center of the stage, Queen Balloon sang without excessive force or laziness, as if she had no desires, only expressing her original intention, everything was just right.
Like a cup of clear tea on a warm afternoon.
Or like a gentle whisper in the evening breeze.
Recounting the past, recounting the strength within her heart.
"A Diao,
You always dress like,
A boy.
But you're even tougher than a Kelsang flower..."
Her life was more dramatic than a movie.
The desolate hospital ward.
Malicious remarks.
Facing controversy from the entire internet.
As a young girl, in that lonely and helpless despair, she still persevered.
Over the years, no matter how difficult it was, she maintained her daily training as a singer.
She firmly believed she would not be defeated.
She would make all the scolding disappear.
She would let everyone know that Zhang Xiaoqi is a singer, she loves the stage, and she just wants to sing well on stage!
"A Diao,
Hypocritical people wear a thousand kinds of smiles.
When will you descend the mountain,
Remember to bring your Zhuoma knife..."
Hearing this.
Her fans began to weep.
These lyrics were piercingly emotional!
Fans who knew her slightly understood that although this song was about a girl named A Diao, it was also about Zhang Xiaoqi herself.
Falling from the throne of queen to the abyss.
And now returning to the stage.
The courage required for this journey was unimaginable.
And she stood on stage again, wearing a mask.
For her fans, just hearing her sing was enough to make them happy.
"Under the gray brim,
Sunken cheeks.
You seldom speak,
Giving simple answers.
Where is tomorrow?
Who cares about you?
Even if you fall on the road..."
Zhang Xiaoqi held the microphone.
She slowly walked towards the front of the stage.
Her performance was gradual, unhurried.
But the emotion in her singing grew more intense.
Just when everyone thought there would be an explosion,
A rap section began in an unexpected way, with an escalating emotional intensity!
"Acceptance, banishment,
Confusion, freedom,
Like the wind,
...
But I still won't,
Give up hope because of pain.
The wounds I've suffered have become scars,
Blooming into incredibly beautiful flowers.
The wounds I've suffered have become scars,
Blooming into incredibly beautiful flowers..."
Her voice was like healing sunlight, or like continuous Zen chanting.
Then, gradually, her voice became more resolute.
The last two lines were repeated twice.
An ultimate resolve touched everyone.
She moved countless audience members with her emotions!
With her stubborn resolve, she told everyone.
Whether you've been hurt, defeated by life, misunderstood, or ridiculed.
Everything will pass.
People must always say goodbye, and each time is so sad, but what's the point of constantly looking back?
Look forward.
There is hope ahead.
The setbacks experienced will eventually become vibrant flowers on the path to hope!
"Seeing you return to the stage, our fans' wait for so many years was not in vain!"
"Wuwuwu... I feel so sorry for her!"
"You trolls, get lost!"
"Perhaps, only she like this could make Listening Rain write this song for her!"
"I also know why Listening Rain wrote this song for her. It must be because he knew her story. As expected of Listening Rain, I'll love this old rascal Listening Rain to death in this life!"
"Haha, indeed, this song is perfect for Zhang Xiaoqi!"
"Listening Rain is forever the god!!"
At this moment.
Those who had been criticizing Zhang Xiaoqi fell silent.
It wasn't that they didn't want to criticize anymore.
Because Listening Rain was involved in this matter, they dared not.
Zhang Xiaoqi's fans were nothing, but Listening Rain was different.
Listening Rain's fans were the most Zen in the entertainment industry, and also the most formidable.
Mindless trolling wouldn't work with him.
"A Diao,
Will you have a full meal tomorrow..."
As Queen Balloon continued to sing,
Her emotions grew more intense.
Her voice gradually became higher and clearer.
Her singing carried optimism and positivity.
Like the power of youth and life.
Although she wore a mask, everyone could feel that she must be smiling as she sang, and it was a beautiful smile.
The cameras also appropriately focused on the audience.
The feeling live was completely different from watching the show. Live, you could better feel the conviction in the singer's song, which is why many people liked to buy tickets to concerts.
Only in such occasions can one truly resonate with the singer.
And this episode's audience was the most miserable.
They were first broken by Listening Rain's love song.
Then they were moved to tears by Queen Balloon's "A Diao."
Just then.
The accompaniment gradually became more urgent.
"Fate is unpredictable, obsession is indifferent.
Farewell to youth, countless stations.
Content with the ordinary but unwilling to defeat oneself in mediocrity.
You are A Diao, you are a bird of freedom!!!
Hey ya!
Hey ya!!!!"
Suddenly.
Zhang Xiaoqi on stage opened her left hand slightly and slowly raised her head, as if soaring.
A high note piercing the sky exploded in everyone's ears!
That unwillingness, that strength.
At this moment, they were all released with this high note!
The cameras switched wildly!
The judges' table.
Han Qi was stunned on the spot!
Mo Yan also opened his eyes!
Yin Na stood up completely, covering her mouth in excitement, wanting to shout but afraid of disturbing the performance!
And at this moment.
The audience in the venue could no longer hold back! They waved their hands excitedly!
Cheers!
Screams!
"Fate is unpredictable,
Obsession is indifferent.
Farewell to youth,
Countless stations..."
Beneath the balloon mask.
Zhang Xiaoqi looked at the audience.
Her eyes were filled with crystal tears.
The corners of her mouth curved into a brilliant smile.
Zhang Xiaoqi.
You did it.
Your singing has moved so many audience members!
They are all cheering and shouting for you.
What do those lonely despairs matter?
At least you have seen what strength looks like, you have seen that in this world, strength also comes at a great price.
You have tasted the indifference of the world.
You have overcome confusion, escapism, bewilderment, and struggle.
What else can defeat you?
Remember!
You have the strongest wings growing behind your back!
The road ahead is long, you are an unyielding warrior!
