Listening to this hymn chorus, it was as if an electric current directly penetrated his heart and body!

Bassani's short poem of only two stanzas goes like this:

"Resurrection, yes, you will be resurrected,

O my dust, after a short rest!

The Lord who calls you to your side,

will give you eternal life.

You are sown until you bloom again!

after we die,

The Lord comes to take us in,

Like harvesting sheaves of grain!”

…

Fan Ning pursed her lips tightly, grasped the armrest with both fists, and her entire shoulders were shaking slightly.

Tears instantly filled his eyes, and as he closed his eyes, they dripped directly down his cheeks.

"Caron?" Sheeran, who noticed something strange, turned away and was startled by his appearance.

"I was wrong, don't cry..." She had never seen Fan Ning like this before. The only time Fan Ning shed tears was at the teacher's funeral, and she didn't notice it. At this moment, she took out her handkerchief and dipped it into his face in a panic, "

I shouldn’t discuss heavy and depressing topics on this occasion. I know you are reluctant to let Mr. Kaplan go..."

Fan Ning sniffed slightly, opened his eyes, and murmured hoarsely:

"Resurrection, yes, you will be resurrected..."

What was spoken loudly at the scene of the subway accident that day, what was written down when composing the third movement of the scherzo that day: "The living must perish, and salvation is hard to find"...Those questionings and explorations in gray tones...

At this time, the hymn chorus "Ode to the Resurrection" made Fan Ning's spirituality clear.

The final chapter that I still don’t know how to answer...

All confusion and confusion are solved.

"All flesh and blood are like grass. This so-called living thing must perish..."

"Whatever lives must perish, but what perishes must be resurrected!"

"The so-called program. The program of aesthetics, the program of experience, the program of obtaining comfort."

"You see, they all actually contain fictional elements that are 'hard to happen in reality'. There will be no mythological figures to take you on a journey through historical projections, and there will be no Lord of Witnesses who will perform miracles to resolve the love, hatred and hatred of people in the micro-apocalypse.

The current era is far from "the joy of all mankind," right?"

That night spent at St. Euverney Manor and Miss Roy's discussion of "emotional programming" appeared in Fan Ning's mind from a completely different perspective.

A narrative angle that is desired but difficult to happen in reality...

Longing but hard to get what you want??

"What narrative angle can be more consistent with this characteristic than 'resurrection'?"

"People cannot be resurrected after death... Yes! It is precisely because people cannot be resurrected that the narrative about resurrection is so precious, full of great comfort and power... Why do people live? Is the suffering of life meaningful?

?Is all this just a huge prank? No! In this fantasy emotional program, the audience will understand that the living must be destroyed, and the destroyed must be resurrected! Their birth is by no means in vain, and neither are their survival and suffering.

Not in vain!!”

The solemn voice of the choir still echoes in the church.

Fan Ning's face was still stained with tears, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and his gaze and inspiration were looking higher and higher.

"The funeral of a hero, the recollection of the past, the chaotic movement, the painful longing... And on the last day, there will be a loud sound of earth shaking and mountains shaking in the wilderness, the tombs will open, the dead will stand in large numbers, and people will join the march all over the mountains and plains.

Regardless of whether they are rich or poor, whether they are kings, beggars, righteous people, villains, believers in God or not, they all move forward involuntarily, and people are heard everywhere.

And the cry of fear is the cry of grace and forgiveness..."

"Those cries grow louder and louder, ringing to the sky, the senses abandon us, and consciousness dies with the approach of the eternal Holy Spirit. In the terrible silence, earthly life shows its last trembling gesture, the trumpet of revelation

Calling, the nightingale's voice is heard in the distance, laity and saints sing 'Resurrection, yes, you will rise', they are all forgiven, and then there is a glow, a strange and soft glow..."

"There will be no judgment, no criminals, no righteous people, no power, no baseness, no punishment and no retribution. There will be no distinction between heaven and earth, and everything will return to eternal and quiet happiness... This is my complete

Symphony No. 2, "Symphony No. 2 in C minor" 'Resurrection', the living must be destroyed, and the destroyed must be resurrected. This is the answer to the question at this stage of my life!!"

"Dang!——" "Dang!——"

The ringing of the bell brought Fan Ning's thoughts back to the world. He saw Sheeran looking at him eagerly, with tears in his eyes, and subconsciously handed over his handkerchief.

Then he realized that she seemed to have done exactly the same thing to him not long ago.

Fan Ning gave her a comforting look, then gently pulled her sleeves to indicate that she would stand up with everyone else.

After the final farewell ceremony, the two joined the funeral procession.

"I'm glad I thought of inviting Ms. Hamilton to the New Year's Concert..."

Xilan looked at the newly erected tombstone in a daze.

In addition to the old lady's life and black-and-white portrait, there is also an epitaph that has become the mezzo-soprano's libretto for the fourth movement of Fanning's "Second Symphony" - a piece donated by Vienne and copied in her workbook.

"Initial Light" on the title page.

"...I'm glad you convinced her when she was in the hospital. We were both the most touching farewells."

"No, it's not that we said goodbye to her with the New Year's concert." Fan Ning shook her head solemnly, then leaned down to present a bouquet of flowers, and bowed three times slowly.
