"I want to meet this kid named Jiang Yulou."
This was an idea that came to Professor Du after hearing Liu Suola's introduction.
That's what he thought, and that's what he did.
Liu Suola naturally obeyed the teacher's request unconditionally.
It's just that she doesn't quite understand. Since Professor Du has been teaching at the school these years, he has rarely seen outsiders except for work reasons. Why did he suddenly decide to meet Jiang Yulou?
Is there...is there anything special about him that I haven't discovered yet?
Jiang Yulou came to the Central Conservatory of Music again. It was already the end of classes on Tuesday afternoon.
He had heard of Professor Du's name in his previous life. When he learned from Liu Suola that Professor Du wanted to meet him, he naturally accepted it happily.
Professor Du graduated from the Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music in Moscow and is a well-known composer and educator in China. He has numerous works and his disciples are becoming more and more famous.
For example, Liu Suola, Qu Xiaosong and Tan Dun were all his disciples.
After arriving at the school, Jiang Yulou was led in by Liu Suola.
Along the way, Liu Suola was still telling him what to say and what not to say.
Jiang Yulou nodded repeatedly, becoming even more curious about Professor Du.
Finally, he met Professor Du in the professor's office of the Composition Department.
Professor Du has black hair and a slender figure, as if every outline is telling his deep connection with music. His appearance has some traces of time, but his eyes are shining like stars, full of passion and persistence for music.
He was wearing a white linen shirt and a pair of shiny leather shoes. The clothes are simple but tasteful.
"Haha, you must be little friend Jiang Yulou."
Professor Du's laughter was so loud and hearty, like the sound of music reverberating in the air.
"I don't dare, Professor Du. You can call me Xiao Jiang or Yu Lou." In front of the respected old man, Jiang Yulou would always act humble and decent.
"Okay, then I'll ask you to call me Yulou." Professor Du's tone was gentle, as warm as the spring sunshine.
"Yulu, you sit down, let's sit down and talk."
After Jiang Yulou sat down, he looked at the environment of the office. It was quite simple, but the layout had a touch of art.
Liu Suola did not sit down, but acted as a secretary, making tea for the teacher and Jiang Yulou and serving it.
After that, she sat sideways next to Jiang Yulou.
After taking a sip of tea, Professor Du smiled and said: "Yulu, I saw the song you and Suo La created. It was very good and touching."
Jiang Yulou said humbly: "You are very grateful. I just helped Sister Suo La."
Liu Suola gave me a look, thinking you can speak.
Professor Du continued to ask: "I heard from Sora that you are still a poet?"
"I don't dare to take it seriously. It's actually just a personal interest." Jiang Yulou said.
Liu Sola couldn't help but interject: "Teacher, don't listen to him. His love poems are so good that they have been published in poetry collections. Nowadays, it's hard to find a single book on the market."
"Oh, it's such a bestseller. I'll buy a copy someday and read it." Professor Du's calm tone had a hint of excitement.
It seems that this friend of the student is not a simple friend, but it is also true that without extraordinary talent, how can he write such lyrics full of sincere feelings.
Jiang Yulou continued to be modest and low-key, saying: "My main job is to be a student. As for writers and poets, they are just side jobs."
"Is Yulou still a writer?" His words made Professor Du stunned for a moment.
"There are two works published so far, one of which was published in the first issue of "Contemporary" and the other was published in "Harvest" which will be released this month."
Although "Contemporary" is a literary magazine from Yanjing, it has just been published, so Professor Du doesn't know it. But the reputation of "Harvest" is too great, and he likes to read the articles published in "Harvest".
The boy in front of him was younger than Sora. It was already remarkable that he could write poems and write them well. However, he was still able to publish an article in the very literary "Harvest", which surprised Professor Du.
There are such geniuses in the world!
Professor Du asked: "Did Yulou go to college?"
It would be a great loss to the country if such talented young people cannot go to college.
Jiang Yulou didn't need to answer, so Liu Suola answered for him, "Yulu is a freshman at Yanda, majoring in Chinese."
"Yanda, it's very good, very good." Professor Du said happily.
Jiang Yulou said: "When I was in high school, the leaders of our county invited me to work in the county government. However, I thought that my knowledge would not be enough for my future creations, so I decided to take the exam of Shuimu or Yanda University. Unfortunately, the college entrance examination results were far behind. Shuimu is still a little short of points, and Yanda’s points are just enough.”
Liu Sola: "..."
Why was he so angry when he said this?
Professor Du said: "Good boy, study hard in the future and strive to create more and better works, so that you can live up to the training of the school."
Jiang Yulou nodded obediently.
"Yulou, in my opinion, your lyrics are excellent. In the future, not only will they be passed down through the ages, but they will also be sung for a while." Professor Du saw that Jiang Yulou wanted to be humble again, so he quickly stopped him. This young man is good at everything. Just too humble and low-key.
He asked the doubts in his heart: "There is no doubt about the emotion in this poem. What I can't figure out is, how can you have such strong patriotic feelings at such a young age?"
This question is difficult to answer.
After Jiang Yulou thought for a moment, he slowly replied: "Why are my eyes filled with tears? It's because I love this land deeply!"
This is an affectionate sentence in Ai Qing's poem "I Love This Land".
This poem can be the best footnote for why he was able to write such patriotic lyrics as "My Motherland and Me".
Professor Du knew Ai Qing's poem, and a look of admiration flashed in his eyes.
Liu Suola looked confused and asked: "Yulou, is this a poem written by you too?"
Jiang Yulou quickly explained: "No, it's Teacher Ai Qing's poem."
This misunderstanding is huge. If he doesn't explain it clearly and spreads it, he will be criticized.
Professor Du shook his head, "Let you read more, now you will make a fool of yourself."
Being scolded by the teacher, Liu Suola blushed and did not dare to refute.
I just scolded Jiang Yulou a hundred times in my heart, "Okay, why are you reading other people's poems?"
Professor Du said: "Yulou, Sola, I want to recommend this song to the top through the school."
Jiang Yulou's expression changed but he said nothing.
Liu Sola asked doubtfully: "Teacher, isn't the National Day song collection event over?"
Professor Du shook his head and said: "You, is the National Day only celebrated this year?"
"Professor Du, I have no objection and will completely obey your arrangements." Jiang Yulou said.
