However, although the netizens couldn't understand Russian, they could grasp the general meaning.
The scene of Ting Yu teaching the little girl to play the guitar, his earnestness in teaching, moved the live stream to tears.
"Ting Yu, he really is, I'm crying to death!"
"Teaching a little girl guitar in this slum, suddenly feels like a very warm scene!"
"Is this for show? If he wanted to see poor people, couldn't he have gone himself a couple of days ago? He had to wait for the live stream?"
"Bullshit show, every time there's a touching moment like this, some idiot comes out to ruin the atmosphere!"
"I think Ting Yu probably wants everyone to understand war better. Even if it's a show, at least he's teaching seriously."
As the bullet comments scrolled by.
Su Yu had already finished explaining the basics. To his surprise, the accordion boy ran home to get paper and pen and handed them to the little girl. The little girl, Nina, meticulously recorded everything.
Watching Su Yu earnestly teach Nina, the accordion boy's face was full of admiration. However, he still remained silent, his slender body and the accordion on his chest forming a stark contrast.
The longing expression on this child's face gave Su Yu a complex feeling.
Who would have thought that in a place ravaged by war, where families were destroyed, these children would still retain their pursuit of music?
He had to admit that these two Russian children today had deeply impacted him.
Although there was timidity in their eyes, there was also hope.
War had taken their parents, forcing them to rely on state aid to survive. Usually, most people would have become numb by this point, but they hadn't. They were earnest and persistent in their love for music.
"I'll teach you another song."
He said to the group of children.
Neither of them replied, but Su Yu could see the longing in their eyes.
This was understandable. In their eyes, Su Yu was a stranger. Because they didn't have adults at home, fear was their nature. But they had seen Su Yu teaching Nina the guitar just now, and knew he wasn't mocking them.
"This song is called Katyusha, a very simple song. May I borrow your paper and pen?" Su Yu said gently to the girl holding the guitar.
The latter, having interacted with Su Yu, clearly trusted him now and handed the paper and pen she was holding to Su Yu.
Su Yu took them and began to draw the simplified notation.
Before long, the simplified notation for "Katyusha" was drawn.
Then he started drawing the guitar tablature and the accordion score.
After finishing these, Su Yu began to teach them to read the simplified notation.
He explained the professional knowledge in a way that was easy to understand. Even though the two children had only basic musical knowledge, they were able to grasp it quickly.
Then came practice, repeated practice.
During practice, Su Yu patiently corrected the two children and re-explained things over and over again.
"Perhaps this is why Ting Yu has so many fans in China," Rossi watched quietly from the side.
In her opinion, let alone Ting Yu's status in China, even an ordinary celebrity wouldn't be so approachable, let alone so patient in teaching them music.
Moreover, Ting Yu usually appeared quite lazy, but he was exceptionally friendly now, with a natural warmth. It didn't feel like a show at all; she could tell Ting Yu genuinely wanted to teach.
...
Several hours passed, and Su Yu finally finished teaching the two children.
Today's live stream was not as spectacular as the last one in Cuba, but the audience watched with great interest.
When the two children could skillfully master the song, Su Yu pointed to the stone steps where Rossi had performed earlier, "Shall we give it a try?"
He said and looked at the two children quietly.
The two children were slightly stunned, then fell silent for about two seconds before nodding deeply.
"Where are the applause?" Su Yu began to clap first.
The onlookers around them immediately joined in the applause.
With the applause, the two children's faces gained a little more confidence.
"Sight-singing isn't a big deal for you, right?" Su Yu said, looking at Rossi beside him.
"Ah? You want me to sing?" Rossi couldn't help but be taken aback.
"Who else would I ask..." Su Yu spread his hands.
Rossi's breathing quickened. She hadn't expected Su Yu to ask her to sing. After all, this person's songs were so sought after in China that even the "God of Songs" begged for them. And from his demeanor, it seemed he intended to give this song to the two children, meaning she could get a Ting Yu song for free?
Thinking of this, she became somewhat excited.
"Yes, sight-singing is our most basic skill!!"
Indeed, for those who study music, sight-singing is the most fundamental skill.
Moreover, Rossi had a deep understanding of music, and sight-singing was no difficulty for her.
"Here's the score. I hope they can accompany you when playing," Su Yu handed her the music score.
Now Rossi could be sure that Su Yu intended to give the song to her, and even let her be the singer. She took the score with trembling hands. "Teacher Ting Yu, thank you."
She knew what Su Yu's action represented. While it seemed like just one song, it would change the lives of three people. Rossi would debut with a song produced by a world-class producer, and the two children would also receive copyright royalties for their accompaniment.
Not only her, but even the viewers watching the live stream understood Su Yu's intentions.
"Holy cow, Ting Yu is awesome!!"
"My idol is full of positive energy, I feel so proud!!"
"This is what a global superstar looks like. I thought he was just teaching these two children instruments, but I didn't expect him to give them a song too."
"Where are those who called him a show-off? Why aren't they yapping now? If you have the guts, put on a show yourself!"
No one had expected Su Yu to do this, but no one found it abrupt. It was as if he was doing something very normal, as if this was who he was in everyone's hearts.
However, there will always be people who call it a show when helping others.
Yet, they were worse than those who put on a show, because at least those who put on a show were actually doing something, while these people only typed comments.
"Are you ready?"
On the stone steps, the two children stood beside Rossi.
Upon receiving Su Yu's gaze, the cameraman proactively moved the live stream equipment to find a good angle.
Rossi exchanged a glance with the two children, and all three nodded.
Then, the boy began to play the accordion.
A cheerful yet melodious melody filled the air.
Su Yu found a stone on the ground and sat down to enjoy the performance.
On Earth, the song "Katyusha" was widely spread, its spirit influencing more than one generation. It glorified the most beautiful human behavior, "love," against the backdrop of humanity's most extreme act, "war." Endowed with a powerful spirit by the times, it became a divine song cherished by many.
Su Yu hoped this song could give these refugees some strength, allow the elderly to temporarily shed the numbness and worry on their faces, and make the children happy again when they heard it, even if only temporarily. He felt he had done something meaningful.
