(I’ll upload it first tonight, it will be revised at about 1:30)

At this moment, I don’t know how many people, after reading the entire content, which has not many words, are sitting there, staring at the page, in a daze.

Simple black and white color page, black border, white background, black text.

But he wrote such important information.

Wrote such a cruel half poem.

On the page, the faint sound of the erhu is echoing.

This note will only sound when you scroll the entire page to the end. It is so light but so loud.

Every note can't even startle a feather, but it seems to hit everyone's heart.

That is the tiniest vibration that a thin, thin silk string can produce under the cilia of the bow.

That's the slightest sound that the microphone can pick up.

That is the most delicate sound that human ears can capture.

That is a weight that only life can perceive.

It is like a spring silkworm quietly nibbling at the mulberry leaves, moving forward bit by bit, but it seems that there will never be any progress.

But when you find it, you find that one leaf has disappeared.

There is something that comes when you are not aware of it. It has been with you from the moment you were born into the world, but you cannot perceive its existence until the last moment.

And it has such a picture-like feel. The picture-like feeling is so strong that if you close your eyes, you can see a young man in white walking alone on a road intertwined with gray and white.

Can't go back, can't go back.

And it's so powerful.

It grabs you and makes you sit there helplessly, unable even to close the page or redirect your attention.

It has such magic power, its name is "Death".

Before the appearance of Gu Xiaobai's "North Atlantic Rhapsody", the most famous erhu piece in the world was called "Er Quan Ying Yue". It is the representative work of Hua Yanjun (A Bing), and it is also the most influential erhu piece in the world. It is one of the most influential Chinese instrumental music in the world.

This piece of music originally had no name. It was just an unknown piece that Hua Yanjun had been constantly revising, improvising, and performing throughout his life. It was sad but restrained, like an elegy written for himself.

Some erhu players once complained that although they admired Mr. Hua Yanjun (A Bing) for his outstanding contributions to the erhu, they were also distressed that Hua Yanjun's "Er Quan Ying Yue" was so famous that it had almost become a Erhu has become the representative of the Erhu, causing many people to mistakenly believe that the Erhu can only express sad music.

The emergence of Gu Xiaobai's "North Atlantic Rhapsody" changed everything.

As the main instrument in "North Atlantic Rhapsody", the erhu shows endless charm in Gu Xiaobai's hands.

It can express love, as beautiful as the second theme "Knowing each other" in the first movement "Farewell". The reputation of its "Love Duet" even surpassed "North Atlantic Rhapsody" itself and even became the representative of "North Atlantic Rhapsody". means.

It can express majesty, such as the second theme "Cavalry Battle" in the fourth movement "Parching", which also has another name "March of the Hussars".

In fact, any fan of historical cavalry will put this song on the head of their favorite cavalry, and later it became the generally recognized "Cavalry Charge Song".

It is said that if you listen to it, you can use two legs to reach a speed of 80 miles per hour, "Charge Divine Comedy".

It can express endless light, making people feel the warmth and tickling of the sun shining on the skin, just like the first theme, "Sunshine" in the fifth movement "Myth".

The song "Sunshine" dispelled the haze and cold in the Scandinavian mountains, making the whole of Northern Europe warm and bright. I don't know how many people have accompanied them through the wet, cold and depressing winter nights.

It can also express a grand subject like destiny. The second theme "Prophecy" of the fifth movement "Myth" is like unfolding a picture of ancient myths, which disappears in history and the human world.

The mysterious and magnificent era has reappeared before mankind.

Of course, it has also discussed death several times.

Whether it is after the "Cavalry March", the mournful but not sad "Elegance" pays tribute to the knights who died in battle.

It is still at the end of "Myth", the dramatic and mythological "North" that attributes all fate and soul to Valhalla.

Gu Xiaobai's "North Atlantic Rhapsody" is a genuine "Rhapsody". It records Gu Xiaobai's time and space travel in the North Atlantic region, using characters from various eras, regions, ethnic groups, and

The music material of the country and various ethnic groups is generally romantic, unlimitedly expanding everyone's understanding of the erhu as an instrument, expanding the themes that the erhu can display and its width and breadth.

But no one expected it.

At the end of "North Atlantic Rhapsody", Gu Xiaobai changed everything he had changed with his own hands.

Perhaps, just like A Bing, there are many heroic and majestic erhu pieces, but in the end it was this sad and self-destructive song "Er Quan Ying Yue" that became his masterpiece and the most famous erhu piece in the world.

Abing's "incarnation" in music.

Because, in the end, there is only one thing in this world that can shock people's hearts.

die.

In the faint sound of the erhu, someone suddenly asked a question in Russian:

The sound was very soft, very soft, like noise accidentally recorded during recording.

It's so light that some people have to listen to it countless times before they understand what it means.

"Xiaobai, do you want to be the king of Europe?"

But at that moment, the music gradually unfolded, like a scroll slowly unfolding.

November 1700 AD, Narva, Sweden (now Estonia).

Tens of thousands of Russian troops surrounded thousands of Swedish troops in the city.

Inside and outside the city, swords were at war, and a brutal war was about to break out.

The extremely disparity in military strength caused the morale of the generals and soldiers sitting in Qichou City to be low, and they had no hope of victory in the upcoming war.

Time moves forward minute by minute, and every minute and every second is torture for them.

It's just the hard suffering before death.

Just when the sun was about to reach its peak, a soldier suddenly shouted:

"Everyone, look!"

"what is that?"

King Karl XII stood on the top of the city and looked out, and then suddenly showed a look of surprise: "It's the White Knights tonight!"

"It's my teacher, the teacher is here to save me!" Karl XII shouted excitedly.

The boy's face was flushed with excitement and tears of excitement: "Teacher, he...teacher, he didn't give up on me after all!"

Outside the city, an invincible cavalry force had already reached the back of the Russian soldiers.

Facing this legendary invincible cavalry, the Russian army was instantly defeated.

A few minutes later, the gates of Narva were opened wide, and the defenders who had been trapped inside rushed out.

At that moment, it had become a one-sided massacre.

In this battle, the Russian army suffered more than 15,000 casualties and nearly half were damaged in battle, while the Swedish army only had 667 killed.

The battle report reached Peter's ears. Peter was furious at first. After hearing that the White Knights participated in the battle tonight, he fell silent.

At night, when the faint sound of erhu sounded outside Peter's military tent, Peter dismissed all his followers and guards and came to the place where the music came from.

After not seeing each other for several years, the boy looked exactly the same as when they first met.

Under the cold moonlight, an erhu plays in the wilderness.

Peter stood quietly behind the young man and listened to the erhu piece. Then the young man stood up and turned to look at Peter.

A pair of friends who once knew each other met again, but they seemed to have nothing to say.

After a long time, Peter spoke first: "Xiaobai, do you want to fight me?"

"I'm not the one fighting you, I just have a good student."

"Even if you are not the one fighting me, where did that invincible army come from?"

Gu Xiaobai was silent.

"You once said that you would teach and protect Karl XII until he comes of age, so I didn't do anything last year. You left him this summer. Isn't it because you have completed your mission? If you still want to continue now

To protect him, when will he become an adult? Or, do you want to protect him for the rest of his life?"

Gu Xiaobai was silent for a moment and said, "But I can't sit back and watch him die in front of me."

"A Europe cannot tolerate two ambitious men. A North cannot tolerate two emperors. People will die. Karl XII will die, I will die, and you... Grand Master, will also die.

"

Gu Xiaobai continued to remain silent.

"It's bitterly cold in the north. We in Russia need the Baltic Sea. The Swedes will not give up their land. Russia and Sweden will have a war. And perhaps only one of me and Karl XII can survive." Peter said, "If you

If you really want to protect Karl XII, then you might as well kill me now. You can do this easily, can't you, because you are the invincible Tonight Bai."

But do you want to do this?

"There is only one person in the world who can make me retreat and make me unwilling to be my enemy. Today, I want to ask you a question, Xiaobai, do you want to be the king of Europe?"

After another long silence, Gu Xiaobai shook his head.

In fact, he had never thought about becoming the king of Europe.
To be continued...
