Chapter 53 Firefighting Party

August 15th, the scene of the fire safety gala!

Amidst enthusiastic applause from the audience, a group of firefighters in dark blue uniforms took to the stage. They were from the fire brigade that was on the front lines of the wildfire rescue.

As the firefighters took to the stage, the intro to the song began.

The familiar melody of "The Lone Warrior" resounded in everyone's ears once again.

It was at this moment that Xiao Qingfeng's figure slowly rose from the rising platform in the center of the stage and appeared in the audience's view.

Xiao Qingfeng wore a dark blue uniform just like the firefighters, and the audience erupted in excitement upon seeing him in his uniform.

Many female audience members screamed with excitement!

"Ah, he's so handsome! My boyfriend is so handsome!"

"Xiao Qingfeng looks so handsome in uniform, I love it!"

......

Amid cheers from the audience, Xiao Qingfeng slowly began to speak!

When Xiao Qingfeng sang, the audience was even more stunned.

Many audience members had already seen or heard Xiao Qingfeng sing this song on the "Singer Who Makes Waves" stage, and had even listened to it on repeat on their phones for a long time.

However, for many audience members, this was their first time hearing a live performance, especially at such an immersive and themed gala, and the impact was incomparable.

While Xiao Qingfeng was performing, the firefighters behind him were also using a "silent film" style to depict their daily firefighting work.

The large screen was showing scenes of raging flames, a sight that was truly awe-inspiring.

Amidst the raging inferno, the firefighters displayed unwavering courage, moving the audience to tears, who all stood up.

Perhaps only in this way can we express our deepest respect.

As Xiao Qingfeng finished singing, "The Lone Warrior" once again became a trending topic!

Countless media professionals and self-media creators edited Xiao Qingfeng's performance at the gala and posted it online, where it quickly spread.

Wang Bolun, Mei Fei, Michelle, and other singers who were also among the initial contestants of "Singer Who Makes Waves" also shared Xiao Qingfeng's live performance.

Wang Bolun spoke up in the singers' group: "Teacher Xiao is amazing. This performance has made 'The Lone Warrior' even more vivid and perfect. At first, I thought that the last time was his limit."

Michelle said, "In my opinion, Teacher Xiao is a person with no limits, and he can always bring surprises!"

Lin Jiarui: "Teacher Xiao is so outstanding that I feel a little inferior. Can we still have fun together?"

......

Xia Luan silently looked at the chat messages in the group. Every sentence was a praise for Xiao Qingfeng, and the more she saw this, the more suffocated she felt.

In fact, every time Xiao Qingfeng trends on social media and achieves remarkable success, netizens dig her up and criticize her relentlessly.

The comments section was filled with people cursing themselves for being blind, short-sighted, and heartless, with some even cursing her to die a horrible death.

Therefore, the more outstanding Xiao Qingfeng is, the more it proves that what netizens said is correct.

If Xiao Qingfeng continues to enjoy such fame, she will continue to be the target of netizens' criticism.

Unless, one day she is able to surpass Hsiao Ching-feng in the music field.

But is that even possible?

Meanwhile, because Xiao Qingfeng was participating in a CCTV gala that promoted positive energy, Dong Qing was also pushing traffic to Xiao Qingfeng on Douyin.

As the program neared its end, the hosts, Dong Qing and Nige, walked onto the stage together.

Dong Qing looked at Nig and said, "Teacher Nig, the party is almost over."

Teacher Nig asked, feigning confusion, "But I heard that a singer spent two hours writing a song specifically for the party?"

"Teacher Nig is very well-informed. That's right, there's a song coming up next. It took less than two hours from composition to the completion of the music. Do you want to know who he is?"

"think!"

The audience shouted in unison.

Dong Qing continued, "Alright, let's give another round of applause to Teacher Xiao Qingfeng for his performance of 'Protecting Our Light'."

Protect Our Light

Lyrics by: Xiao Qingfeng

Composer: Xiao Qingfeng

Singer: Xiao Qingfeng

When Dong Qing mentioned Xiao Qingfeng's name, the audience was stunned. Xiao Qingfeng actually had a song.

Moreover, the song was created in less than two hours, which immediately filled netizens with anticipation, and the applause was unusually enthusiastic.

Viewers watching the live stream were also excited, as this was the first time someone had been able to sing two solo songs at a large-scale gala hosted by CCTV.

Even if they appeared two or three times in previous galas, it was always in collaboration with others or to perform different types of programs.

But there has never been a case of someone singing two singles on their own!

For a singer, this is definitely a sign of favoritism.

Amidst the expectant gazes of everyone, Xiao Qingfeng once again stepped onto the stage!

The accompaniment starts!

No matter how difficult it is from night to dawn.

Setbacks will only make me stronger.

From dawn to daylight, the future lies ahead.

[Follow that light and realize your dreams]

Protect my light

[By relentlessly moving forward, all fear and cowardice were overcome.]

What are you waiting for? Look ahead and the road is waving to you.

[Walk slowly and strive silently; at the end of the light, there will be results.]

The reason for believing is that one's own hands fearlessly face all difficulties and setbacks.

No matter how difficult it is from night to dawn.

Setbacks will only make me stronger.

From dawn to daylight, the future lies ahead.

[Follow that light and realize your dreams]

Protect my light

......

The audience was deeply moved by Xiao Qingfeng's heartfelt performance.

A middle-aged man murmured to himself, "This song really touches my heart."

His wife, who was standing beside him, was already in tears, sobbing uncontrollably. She choked out, "This is our hero, this is the light that protects us. I am so proud of my son."

"This song, this melody, gave me endless strength and courage."

"This child is truly talented, able to express this respect so vividly."

"Mom, the firefighters are so great. I want to be as brave as them when I grow up."

Her mother gently stroked her head, her eyes filled with emotion.

Meanwhile, the chat was buzzing with comments!

"Xiao Qingfeng is simply a musical genius. He can create such a powerful and moving song in just two hours. I admire him!"

"This song has deepened my respect for firefighters. Xiao Qingfeng has used his talent to convey positive energy!"

"Listening to this song brought tears to my eyes. Xiao Qingfeng, you are a true singer!"

"These lyrics, this melody, Xiao Qingfeng, you are the shining star of the music scene!"

"With such talent and deep affection, Xiao Qingfeng, you deserve all the praise and applause!"

Xiao Qingfeng's singing resonated throughout the event, touching everyone and strengthening people's respect for firefighters and their yearning for light.

The director was also watching this scene from below the stage. When he recalled the moment when Xiao Qingfeng handed Chengping over to him, he even felt that everything was not quite real.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that Xiao Qingfeng could write such a fitting and excellent piece in such a short time.

Using this song as the ending perfectly fits the theme of the gala, which is exactly the effect he wanted to present to the audience.

Xiao Qingfeng did it! Liu Zhengyuan knew he had succeeded just by listening to the reactions of the audience in the back row!
