Interview Appreciation: The Missionary

Everyone who is a guest in my house knows that there are no routines here. I don’t like to wear a mask, let alone read the text according to the script, so each other can drive the trolley bus - casually!

At this time I asked Dong: "What are you doing here this time?"

Dong answered me: "I brought my mother's - back to my hometown, and the fallen leaves returned to their roots!"

This is a bit sad to say.

After hearing what he said, this time I was not polite at all in front of him and said: "That's bullshit! It seems that you met me a few days late! Because you didn't see me writing "My Hall" "Ge Yin Baoxiong" article, what he said during his lifetime, he said: "That's it! Let me stay here forever next to my children - the global village! "

Then, his children and grandchildren did as he asked - buried in the same grave.

It seems that Mr. Dong has not yet considered whether we humans will have an afterlife! And my cousin is trustworthy (he is a very, very high intellectual), so he is deciding his own funeral arrangements!

Mr. Dong was stunned for a moment by what I said, and he was a little confused. His reason was: because everything about his father is here.

And what I want to ask him in my heart is: "So where will your future descendants be on the earth? Have you not thought that as a parent, you still want to be with your own children and grandchildren? The protection of the soul!"

Having said that, let me use my writing method like filming a movie, and try a montage:

There is a little-known story about Mr. Dong! (This is what I later found out).

Since he left his homeland and went to a foreign country to find his own career, he has been working hard and working hard.

In Mr. Zhang's poems, didn't he write: "The Carnegie song in the high hall, the four people screamed in ecstasy!"

Yes, he had begun to stand out not long ago, but his vividness was not here, but there!

Mr. Dong Rongcan relied on his talent to win the first prize in the New York Mark Brunzwick Youth Composition Competition in 1989 and 1990. He could have received a generous bonus. But unexpectedly, he proposed to the organizing committee: "I don't want a bonus, I just want to bring my parents who have been separated for many years to meet me." Such a request was deeply touching, and the organizing committee here agreed to his request. of this request.

After being separated for many years, his parents came to the United States and saw his embarrassing living conditions. They decided to stay and take care of their son, and found a job for themselves to take care of the many children of the new immigrant female workers in Wenzhou and Fuzhou garment factories.

This was used to subsidize his family's income and support his music creation.

Unfortunately, a disaster happened a year later.

On October 7, 1991, the front page of the local news of New York's "World Journal" published a bold headline: "The road slid across the road on a rainy day, two elderly people died and one was seriously injured." The unfortunate news was that Dong Rongcan's mother had suffered a major car accident.

He rushed to the hospital, cried and threw himself on his mother who was seriously injured and unconscious: "Mom, I'm sorry for you! When you get better, we won't stay in the United States anymore, and I will take you back to China."...

His mother was in a coma for three whole days, and he stayed by her side for three days and three nights. He also witnessed countless scenes of life and death in the hospital. After learning from this painful experience, he developed a strong desire that he had never had before, to hold concerts of his personal works in American society, and then change his career.

What is touching is that after experiencing the hardships of life and the misfortunes of his relatives, Dong Rongcan did not sink into despair. Instead, he strengthened his personal beliefs and continued his career!

As I write this, I want to take a breath and let me tell you: the filial piety of Eastern peoples can still move Westerners! But our nation is still falling behind and in poverty! Is there anything wrong or right, good or bad here? Ask the sky for everything! A fan friend of mine is saying: "He is so talented, God will reward him, it's amazing!"

Of course, for Mr. Dong, this price is a bit high! The problem is that there is a social issue here. What we want to ask is: "Why did you resolutely wave your sleeves and leave the place you were here earlier? Have you thought about it?" Of course, through such a life script, an artist was later added. A plot that expresses love for one's parents. This is a virtue in life, and God is also moved by it!

I also recalled another scene. After a dinner, Kong Xiangdong asked his host Chen Xiaoyuan for a pack of Huangshan muffins in a childish way, saying, "I want to take it home for my mother to eat!"

On this day and this sentence, I think Kong Xiangdong’s move was more beautiful than any piece of music he played that day! Because it's not artificial.

The same Mr. Dong later composed a song "A Song for Mothers in the World", which is so beautiful!

Now your mom over there probably thinks the same way! yes! From now on, when she goes to your place, I wonder if she will need a visa from the embassy, otherwise not everything will be exempted!

My thoughts came back now, and I asked Dong: "What music did you compose?"

No, in fact, I really want to see if the artist still has a childlike innocence, neurosis, and professional inertia characteristics?

As a result, he was really lured out by me, and that day at my house, he and I sang an old song from 1954. We were so excited together, and I even saw him tapping time with his feet! This is a musician with inertia, and here I can recognize him again——.

I chose a song that day because I thought of what Mr. Wu Yili said: "Music is not only used to show off talent, music can also be used to change lives."

Here we should pay tribute to the real artist! (Down)
