~6 min read 1,017 words

“Let us all enjoy ‘Give You Some Color’ brought to you by Bai Xiao!”

“It’s here!” In front of their television sets, countless young people jumped up in excitement.

The next moment, a crisp sound of small cymbals suddenly rang out from the screen.

Following the sound of the cymbals, a rough, booming shout came through.

“Lads!”

Many people shouted in unison in response.

“Aye!”

“Grab your gear!”

The camera panned, and the scene that appeared on stage left everyone stunned!

It turned out that on the stage at this moment were several elderly farmers!

Not the kind of farmers created by makeup, but real, genuine farmers from the inside out!

Everyone had graying hair, dark, weathered faces, and wrinkles that told a story of hardship.

They were wearing the common clothes of farmers from northern Shaanxi, and in their hands, they held...

Holy crap! Countless people in front of their TVs were dumbfounded.

Each person was holding a worn-out musical instrument.

Moon lute, banhu, erhu, clappers... that would be fine, after all, these are considered musical instruments.

But what the hell is that bench in the old man’s hand?

Don’t you dare tell me that’s an instrument too!

Yet, in the shot, the old man’s posture as he raised the wooden block to strike the small bench was clearly telling everyone: this is my instrument!

The problem is... what can this thing even do?

What on earth are you planning to perform?

Although they were baffled by the bench, the audience was instantly electrified by that shout of “Grab your gear!”

Every hair on their bodies stood on end.

Like a clap of thunder, these old farmers, who looked as if they had just finished working in the fields, erupted instantly.

“His eldest uncle, hey~~~!”

“His second uncle is also his uncle!”

“Hey!!!”

“High tables and low benches are all made of wood, hey~~~!”

“Hey-yi~!”

“Hey-hey~!”

Passionate and stirring! Bold and unrestrained!

At this moment, those seemingly crude instruments instantly turned into powder kegs, exploding simultaneously on the Spring Festival Gala stage and in thousands of households.

“Whoa...”

The live audience was boiling over!

All the viewers in front of their screens were boiling over!

……

On stage, Bai Xiao, dressed in black clothes and pants with white sleeves, looked heroic, spirited, and domineering.

She walked forward slowly, the small cymbals in her hand acting as the conductor for the band.

Following her lead, the volume of the accompaniment grew stronger and stronger.

And within this accompaniment, new electronic sounds were added one after another.

Drum kit, electric guitar, bass, keyboard...

But on this stage, they were destined to only play a supporting role!

The sounds of the erhu and banhu were not drowned out; instead, emphasized by the drums and bass, they stood out even more, and the flavor of metal rock emerged instantly.

Amidst the music, the lift platform behind the old farmers rose slowly.

In the back row, Deng Deng Deng Ziqi’s drum kit was in the center, with Liu Liu Liu Tianxian and Teacher Teacher Reba’s keyboards on the left and right.

In the front row, Xiao Ying’s bass and the two electric guitars of Beibei and Beibei Beibei Tata were lined up.

The passion and agitation of Western rock music, combined with the ruggedness and boldness of the Loess Plateau, the young and vibrant girls, and the weathered old men, were surprisingly harmonious!

The buildup and rendering of the prelude were pushed to the extreme, and the venue had completely ignited!

Amidst the music, Bai Xiao walked slowly to the microphone, holding the small cymbals.

The audience held their breath, staring at her tightly, not daring to blink.

The opening act was already so explosive; can you follow it up?

……

Under the gaze of everyone, Bai Xiao walked to the standing microphone, took a breath, and began to sing.

“Goddess Nuwa patched the sky, the remaining stone is Huashan!”

Her high-pitched, angry vocals soared, like a nuclear explosion!

The explosive power, penetration, and sense of strength in this voice!

Just this opening made people feel like kneeling down; it was hair-raising!

“The birds fly carrying the sun~~~~!”

“Flying from the east to the west!”

“Whoa!”

Can’t take it!

This voice is too shocking!

I’ve already knelt down, please accept my knees!

It wasn’t just a simple case of goosebumps and hair standing on end; it gave people a strong sense of being pushed back, like riding a rocket into the sky!

Subsequently, Bai Xiao began a series of questions,

“Why has the sky turned gray?”

“Why does the earth have no green?”

“Why is the human heart not red?”

“Why have the snow-capped mountains turned black?”

“Why do the rhinos have no horns?”

“Why do the elephants have no tusks?”

“Why do the sharks have no fins?”

“Why do the birds have no wings?!”

“Ah ah ah ah ah~~~~~”

Eight questions in a row, progressing layer by layer, rushing toward the audience like a stormy sea!

Like a series of thunderclaps, exploding on the Spring Festival Gala stage!

At the venue and in front of their TVs, countless people were completely blown away,

Their minds were blank, knowing only how to scream and cheer wildly.

Explosive! Too explosive!

……

The music continued to play, and Bai Xiao’s explosive performance was not yet over.

“The sky and the earth became companions,”

“The birds circle around the sun.”

“Huashan and the Yellow River became companions,”

“The grain in the fields laughs and bows~~~~”

These lines were sung sometimes like thunder shaking the heavens, sometimes like a spring breeze blowing on one’s face.

Between the high-pitched and the soothing transitions, it seemed as if a greater explosion was brewing.

“Why does the desert have no oasis?”

“Why do the stars no longer twinkle?”

“Why do the flowers no longer bloom?”

“Why does the world have no color?”

“Why do we know the result?”

“Why are we still squandering?!”

A series of pressing questions, like sharp blades closing in step by step, striking straight at the heart!

Until the end, she cried out loudly.
