Chapter 255 No Pain, No Gain

The prelude to "You'll Win If You Fight Hard" begins slowly, opening with a crisp electronic keyboard sound, like twinkling stars in the night sky, each one distinct and lively.

The opening is introduced with a relatively gentle pace, as if telling the story of an ordinary person silently moving forward on the road of life, with a hint of longing and confusion for the future.

Then, the rhythm gradually quickened, and the drumbeats fell like dense raindrops, each one like a knock on the door of fate, urging people to forge ahead.

The bass's deep voice joins in, echoing the drumbeats and creating a tense yet dynamic atmosphere, as if depicting the many challenges and pressures of life.

The erhu music interspersed throughout the piece is melodious and slightly melancholic, like a wise man telling the story of those who struggled in the past, adding a profound depth to the whole piece.

As soon as the prelude began, viewers in the live stream started a barrage of comments.

"This intro is really catchy, it feels like something big is about to happen, I'm looking forward to Xiao Qingfeng's performance!"

"This melody is so inspiring! Xiao Qingfeng's compositions are amazing!"

"I can't wait to hear Xiao Qingfeng sing, it's sure to be amazing!"

The audience was also drawn in by the unique prelude. The once noisy venue instantly fell silent as everyone listened intently, their eyes filled with anticipation and curiosity.

Xiao Qingfeng nodded slightly, his eyes filled with determination. As the drumbeats and bass rhythm grew stronger, his rich and powerful voice sang the first line of lyrics.

Temporary setbacks inevitably lead to complaints and lamentations.

A temporary setback can easily cause fear.

Xiao Qingfeng's voice was steady and powerful, each word like a shout from the bottom of his heart. His slightly hoarse tone had a unique charm when interpreted in Hokkien.

Xiao Qingfeng continued singing, his pronunciation was extremely standard, and the audience who were familiar with the Minnan dialect couldn't help but show their surprise and admiration.

An elderly man from a Hokkien-speaking region said to the person next to him, "This young man speaks Hokkien so fluently, you can't tell he's from the mainland at all."

Even those viewers who were not familiar with the Hokkien language, though unable to fully understand the lyrics, were moved by Hsiao Ching-feng's infectious vocals and the song's stirring melody.

A young man excitedly waved his glow stick and shouted, "Even though I can't understand the lyrics, it sounds amazing and is so uplifting!"

Even if hope is lost

Life can be compared to the waves of the sea.

Sometimes it rises, sometimes it falls.

Whether it's good luck or bad luck, you still have to keep working.

Three parts destiny, seven parts hard work

No pain, no gain.

Xiao Qingfeng's singing grew increasingly powerful, and he swung his arms forcefully, as if he were fighting against fate.

His eyes burned with a fiery passion, as if conveying to the audience a belief in never giving up.

At this moment, the big screen began to play images of people struggling in adversity, such as athletes sweating on the field, entrepreneurs working day and night in the office, and students studying hard under the desk lamp.

These visuals perfectly complemented Xiao Qingfeng's singing, further evoking emotional resonance among the audience.

The live stream chat was flooded with comments:

"Xiao Qingfeng's voice is amazing; he captured the essence of Hokkien songs!"

Xiao Qingfeng leaned forward slightly, making eye contact with the audience below the stage, as if sharing his story with them.

His voice echoed throughout the venue, each note like a seed of hope sown in the hearts of the audience.

At this moment, some audience members who spoke Hokkien, even though they had only heard it once, started humming along with Xiao Qingfeng. Their voices intertwined with Xiao Qingfeng's singing, creating a unique harmonic effect.

Sometimes things go up, sometimes they go down; good luck comes and bad luck comes, but you still have to keep working.

Xiao Qingfeng himself has successfully conveyed the emotions of this song to the audience.

The audience was infected by his smile and also smiled happily. They were immersed in the beautiful music and forgot all their troubles and fatigue.

His accurate and authentic pronunciation demonstrates his respect for and deep understanding of the Minnan language culture, which impresses even audiences familiar with the Minnan language.

During the performance, Xiao Qingfeng vividly portrayed the emotional waves in the song through the rise and fall of his voice and the precise control of rhythm.
