How much wealth does Shi Shi possess?

#The lyrics written by Shi Shi, if strung together, could circle the world four times.

The tenth anniversary of Shi Shi's passing is approaching. To commemorate this remarkable woman of extraordinary talent, media outlets and fans have created numerous special sections dedicated to her. From her private life and works to her businesses, everything has been thoroughly examined. Even the net worth of her non-celebrity husband, a high-ranking official, has been meticulously investigated.

There is a memorial hall for Shih Shi in Kyoto. It was built by her fans to commemorate her after her death. It contains her original handwritten lyrics, the piano she used, the dresses she wore, and even the trophies she won.

That day, Shi Shi's daughter, Fu Xiaoxing, visited the memorial hall. She stood quietly in front of the piano her mother had used, gently stroking its body, as if she could feel the warmth of her mother's playing. The surrounding tourists cast curious glances, some whispering about the similarities between her and Shi Shi.

Fu Xiaoxing is an only child, and she inherited her parents' stunning good looks, even though she is now over 50 years old. The saying "time cannot defeat beauty" is truly embodied in her.

She resembled Shi Shi by about seven-tenths. Inheriting her mother's beauty, her long-term pampered life made her appear much younger than others. Coupled with the aura of someone in a position of authority, her mere presence inspired awe and made people hesitant to approach her.

Just as Fu Xiaoxing was immersed in memories of her mother, a young girl seemed to have mustered up her courage and timidly walked up to her. "Ms. Fu, hello, I am a huge fan of your mother."

The girl's eyes sparkled with excitement. "I grew up listening to your mother's songs. Her lyrics gave me a lot of strength."

“I never imagined my mother would have such a young fan as you. Before she passed away, she felt she would be left behind by the times.” Fu Xiaoxing smiled gently and began talking to the girl.

The girl quickly waved her hand: "Good works never go out of style! Ms. Shi Shi will always be worthy of respect."

The girl blushed with excitement and continued, "Your mother's lyrics always touch people's hearts. I've always been curious about where she gets her inspiration."

Fu Xiaoxing was lost in memories and slowly said, "My mother's inspiration came from life. She had a keen sense of love and beauty in the world, which is why she was able to write such moving lyrics."

At this moment, a man in a suit rushed over. When he saw Fu Xiaoxing, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It turned out that he was the curator of the memorial hall, and he came to receive Fu Xiaoxing after learning of her arrival.

The curator led Fu Xiaoxing on a tour of some of the museum's collections that were not open to the public, including unpublished manuscripts by Shi Shi. These were donated by her after the memorial hall was established. Her only request was that she could view these texts at any time.

Many of the songs were written by my mother before she retired, and they cover a variety of styles.

Songs like "How Sigh," "Riding a White Horse," "Entering the Painting of Jiangnan," "Su Mu Zhe," "A Smile in the Jianghu," and "Ten Years in the Human World" are from the later period.

"Holding Hands," "Crazy Love," and "Papillon" are rap songs.

There are also rock songs such as "Blue Lotus", "A Melancholy Traveler in the Human World" and "You Said Hi to Me in the Future".

However, these are not Shi Shi's masterpieces. Her popular songs have created one legend after another.

Her work for Shen Jingyuan, "Love Like a Tide," which marked his retirement from the entertainment industry, broke records at the time with its astonishing number of views.

There's also "Youth Commemorative Album," written for a popular idol group, which became an instant hit upon release.

Another song, "Bubble," earned the new generation singer the title of "Iron Lung Queen" right from her debut.

"Shadow of the Sun" directly opened up the European and American markets for her, sweeping global music charts within two weeks.

Fu Xiaoxing flipped through the manuscript page by page, a smile unconsciously spreading across her face, as if she could see her mother's focused expression when she was creating the manuscript.

The curator stayed by her side, casually asking if there were any untold stories behind the songs, which Fu Xiaoxing listened to intently. Suddenly, she noticed a special manuscript with somewhat messy handwriting, titled "To My Beloved Baby".

The song was sent to her by her mother the year she was born. She didn't hear it until she started school. Later, during her adolescence, she felt ashamed and avoided listening to the song.

Fu Xiaoxing's heart stirred. She gently opened the book, and the lyrics inside were filled with her mother's love and expectations for her. Although ten years had passed since her mother's death, her mother's image and voice still lingered vividly in her mind. Fu Xiaoxing's eyes gradually welled up with tears. At this moment, she and her mother transcended time and space, forming a deeper connection. After the visit, Fu Xiaoxing thanked the curator and left the memorial hall with a heart full of memories. She knew that her mother's love and talent would continue to be passed down, becoming an eternal treasure in her heart.

Fu Xiaoxing walked out of the memorial hall, sunlight bathing her. She took a deep breath, preparing to go home. Just then, her phone vibrated; it was her daughter calling. "Mom, I'm participating in a singing competition at school, and I want to sing Grandma's songs. Can you give me some advice?" Her daughter's voice was full of expectation. Fu Xiaoxing smiled, her mind filled with her mother's manuscripts and those moving lyrics. She patiently explained the meaning and emotion of each lyric to her daughter, telling her how to use her voice to convey love and beauty. After hanging up, Fu Xiaoxing gazed into the distance, her heart overflowing with emotion.

She didn't inherit her mother's musical talent, instead focusing on business. Her daughter, however, was a natural musician. Her innate perfect pitch allowed her to excel in music far beyond her mother's reach. Because of this, even though she only had one daughter, she didn't force her to inherit the family business.

Everyone has their own path to walk, and all she can do is support them, just like her mother supports her.

As Fu Xiaoxing gazed at the memorial hall receding into the distance, she thought about how her mother's talent and love were not only treasured in the memorial hall, but also continued in life through her and her daughter. She seemed to see the future, with her daughter standing on the stage, singing her grandmother's story, and Shi Shi's story, which would shine forever in the passing down from generation to generation.
