60: Chapter 60: Grandma, Have a Safe Journey!

In front of the building, there came a dozen people, among them were the young, the middle-aged, and the elderly.

One particularly noticeable was a man in his fifties, wearing a gray shirt, with thick eyebrows and bright eyes, looking exceptionally spirited among the elders.

This elder was Mayor Luo of Huadu.

Although Mayor Luo is busy with a myriad of affairs, he is particularly concerned about the revolutionary veterans of the older generation.

Grandma Liang’s family was one of heroes and martyrs, a revolutionary family, and she was the only remaining veteran in Huadu who participated in the Long March.

Therefore, he was very concerned about Grandma Liang’s life and health.

Upon learning of Grandma Liang’s critical illness, he put aside his work and, as night fell, brought some city officials to visit her.

Accompanying Mayor Luo was Principal Zhu Wenhai of Huadu University, who also doubled as the Director of the Municipal Education Bureau.

Just as Mayor Luo and his group were about to enter Grandma Liang’s home, suddenly a passionate and heart-touching suona sound floated out from an open, lit-up window on the second floor.

“The first farewell (Lige) to the Red Army (jiege) as they go down the mountain

The autumn rain (Lige) drizzles endlessly (jiege), the autumn wind is cold

Each tree (Lige) of phoenix trees, the leaves have fallen

Ten thousand sorrows (Lige) weigh heavy in my heart

…”

The suona sound continuously wafted from the window.

Mayor Luo looked towards the window from where the suona sound emanated, with a hint of excitement in his expression: “This is the melody of ‘Ten Farewells to the Red Army!'”

“Hmm, this suona is played so well!” Another official nodded in praise.

Principal Zhu Wenhai’s eyes were slightly moist as he said, “The melody played on this suona is so sincere and moving, delicate and narrative, like a trickling spring, moisturizing the heart, making one feel deeply touched and filled with longing…”

Zhu Wenhai seemed to want to use many words to describe the piece played on the suona, but found that even with his wealth of knowledge, he was at a loss for words in front of this suona melody, finally turning into a sigh…

Once the suona began to play, the residential buildings around, originally filled with various talking sounds, all quieted down.

It seemed as if everyone in the buildings was quietly listening and immersed in the suona sound…

It wasn’t until a few minutes after the suona stopped that Mayor Luo and his group returned to their senses, with indescribable emotions in their hearts, unable to calm down.

Meanwhile, praises emanated from the surrounding residential buildings: “This suona is played so beautifully!”

“So moving, I want to cry!”

“Why did it stop?

I want to hear more.”

…

Mayor Luo adjusted his emotions and said to Zhu Wenhai: “Principal Zhu, Huadu University has cultivated many musicians and singers with outstanding achievements in music.

Who do you think this suona player might be?”

Zhu Wenhai pondered for a moment, then said: “To my knowledge, in Huannan Province, there is only one person skilled in playing the suona to such a high standard, and that person is the musician Zhang Lang.

Therefore, I believe that the person playing the suona upstairs must be Zhang Lang.”

The other officials also nodded one after another: “That’s right, in Huannan, only Mr.

Zhang Lang can play the suona so movingly.”

Mayor Luo said: “Mr.

Zhang Lang, with his heart on the elderly, personally playing ‘Ten Farewells to the Red Army’ for Old Mrs.

Liang, is truly a good musician.”

The other officials also concurred.

“Let’s go inside!” Mayor Luo led everyone into Old Mrs.

Liang’s house.

Upstairs on the second floor, tears trickled down the corners of Old Mrs.

Liang’s eyes, and she looked at Lin Fei with a kind smile on her face and said: “Young man, thank you.

I never thought I could hear such a beautiful ‘Ten Farewells to the Red Army’ again…”

Old Mrs.

Liang’s niece Xiuzhu showed an expression of disbelief and said to her: “Auntie, can you see?”

Old Mrs.

Liang nodded to her and said: “I can see now.

After hearing this ‘Ten Farewells to the Red Army,’ my illness is all cured.”

However, Lin Fei knew that Old Mrs.

Liang, who had been blind, could see now due to a revival of final energy, predicting she was about to leave forever.

Lin Fei placed the suona in the old lady’s hand and said: “Grandma, you want to hear ‘Ten Farewells to the Red Army’ played on the suona.

I’ll often come to play it for you in the future, okay?”

However, the old lady shook her head and said: “No, young man, this suona has been with me all my life.

Let it accompany me in death.

Over there, my husband can play ‘Ten Farewells to the Red Army’ for me.”

Xiuzhu wore a sad expression and said: “Auntie, you won’t leave us.

You’ll get better.”

The light in the old lady’s eyes slowly faded away; she, who was so spirited just a moment ago, now seemed very tired.

Her lips moved, humming something in a weak voice.

Lin Fei, Wang Yixin, and Xiuzhu listened closely and heard the old lady humming ‘Ten Farewells to the Red Army’: “The first farewell (Lige) to the Red Army (jiege) as they go down the mountain

The autumn rain (Lige) drizzles endlessly (jiege), the autumn wind is cold

Each tree (Lige) of phoenix trees, the leaves have fallen

Ten thousand sorrows (Lige) weigh heavy in my heart

…”

That weak voice gradually faded away, the old lady was gone forever, with her chest gently cradling the suona that accompanied her all her life.

Even though the old lady was gone, her face remained serene, as if she were just asleep, still immersed in the beautiful suona sound of ‘Ten Farewells to the Red Army’…

There was an indescribable sadness in Lin Fei’s heart as he picked up the suona from the old lady’s chest, tears glittering, and once again played ‘Ten Farewells to the Red Army.’

“The first farewell (Lige) to the Red Army (jiege) as they go down the mountain

The autumn rain (Lige) drizzles endlessly (jiege), the autumn wind is cold

Each tree (Lige) of phoenix trees, the leaves have fallen

Ten thousand sorrows (Lige) weigh heavy in my heart

…”

Xiuzhu and Wang Yixin couldn’t stop their tears from flowing in the sound of the suona.

Mayor Luo, Zhu Wenhai, and others came to the old lady’s room.

Seeing Lin Fei playing the suona, they were all astonished.

The person playing the suona was not the esteemed musician Mr.

Zhang Lang but such a young man!

So young and yet already surpassing true musicianship.

How is this possible?

After the shock, Mayor Luo and others were filled with sadness as they saw the serenely deceased old lady lying on the bed.

Once he finished playing ‘Ten Farewells to the Red Army,’ Lin Fei placed the suona back into the hands on the old lady’s chest.

Then, he bowed three times to the old lady.

Mayor Luo and the officials stepped forward to bow to the old lady on the bed.

“Mayor Luo, why are you here?” Xiuzhu choked up as she spoke to Mayor Luo.

Mayor Luo comforted her: “Comrade Liang Qiu was a people’s comrade, and the motherland and the people will not forget her.

You must mourn with restraint.”

Seeing that the Mayor had come, Lin Fei and Wang Yixin realized there was no longer any need for their help, and quietly left without anyone noticing.

After getting down from the second floor to the first, Lin Fei left an envelope containing fifty thousand yuan on the table, penning a few words on the envelope: “Grandma, have a good journey!”

Then, the two left Grandma Liang’s home.

After walking out of the urban village, the two got into the Lamborghini.

Wang Yixin still seemed unable to come to terms with Grandma Liang’s passing, and Lin Fei’s suona rendition of ‘Ten Farewells to the Red Army’ still permeated her heart, shaking her to the core.

Her gaze toward Lin Fei was also filled with indescribable admiration.

‘Ten Farewells to the Red Army,’ a song that used to seem very ordinary to her, now seemed like the most moving song to her today.

This was the great shock Lin Fei had brought to her.
