C88 Talk 2
"For this trip, first of all, I want to thank Teacher Lin for taking care of Qiuhe for more than a year. She has grown a lot. " Tao Huizhen owed him half a body.
Teacher Lin stretches out a finger and shakes it. "I know that you came all the way from the mountain village to Yun Yi to see me. You definitely do not want to say these words of thanks. I still have to go back to class. Let's get straight to the point. Let's talk about it. Let me guess your purpose? One of your students got the runner-up in this competition. However, under the excellent teaching environment of our academy, Qiuhe didn't get the runner-up. You must have an idea, right?"
Tao Huizhen was surprisingly straightforward as well. "Get straight to the point. Okay. To be precise, Qiuhe was disappointed that she did not perform Peacock Dance. She thought that her forte was Peacock Dance, but during the competition, she performed other folk dances. "
"Then you also think that her forte is only Peacock Dance?" Teacher Lin remembered that Qiuhe had told her many times that she didn't allow her to practice Peacock Dance. Until now, she still did not think that she had made a mistake.
"I have to start from the beginning. " Tao Huizhen slowly put herself into her memory. "At that time, Qiuhe rarely appeared in my field of vision in the village. She lived in the innermost part of the village, and I lived in the outermost part. People of the same age were studying at the education point. She is the only one who is at home taking care of her old grandparents due to various objective factors. During a festival celebration in Dai Village, I saw this child dancing a female peacock dance. This is the first time I've seen her. " Tao Huizhen stopped and took a sip of fruit juice. She adjusted her emotions and continued to narrate, "Actually, the locals are all men performing Peacock Dance. She is the first female to perform Peacock Dance in our village. At that time, she was quite amazed, and her dance was very pure. The dance itself had not reached the acme of perfection. However, she still felt that such a dance would not appear on a teenage girl. The important thing was that she had not systematically studied it. After that, I started inviting her to attend classes at the education point. Then, I slowly trained her to dance. Peacock dance became her symbol. If it wasn't for Peacock Dance, I wouldn't have noticed her, so I wouldn't have walked all the way from Jinghong City to Kunming City. This child's advantage is in imitating the peacock. She has an unresolved relationship with the peacock. Thus, I feel that I should consider her advantage in this aspect. If you ask me, the answer is yes. I support her leaning towards Peacock Dance. "
Madam Lin quietly listened to Tao Huizhen's narration. She was silent for one to two breaths of time.
"So this is why you came to Kunming to talk to me. " Teacher Lin's breathing was steady and his speech was uniform. She wasn't affected by Tao Huizhen at all. "The dance academy isn't a dance class. There are too many things that Qiuhe needs to take care of. You can't expect me to only let her come into contact with the Peacock Dance, right? This is a wrong idea. The Civil Dance is the Civil Dance. A classical dance is a classical dance. Peacock dance is not powerful enough to become one. You told me such a big piece, but it's actually just a part of the past. "
" What you said makes sense, but the traditional peacock dance of the Dai clan is listed as national non-existent, which means that it has a certain inheritance meaning. Qiuhe is a member of the Dai race, so it is very meaningful to ask her to do this and pass down the culture of her hometown, allowing her to open up this gap. This is also the ability that Qiuhe will be able to rely on to survive in the future. She cannot be easily lost. "
" Teacher Tao, I heard that. . . You are also just an ordinary dancer. Furthermore, how many years has it been since you got on stage? How much can you see through the current dance circle and the future direction of the dance culture? Dancing is dancing. The first thing that Qiuhe has to consider is not inheriting the culture of her hometown. I know you want to say that civil dance cannot be separated from the influence of culture. But you have to understand the starting point. And purely from the perspective of dancing, I feel that her private dance this time is exceptionally good! She has only been in Cloud Arts for a little over a year and is already in third place. In the field of Peacock Dance, she also had a lot of potential. I can't limit her. "
" Then in this provincial competition, if I let her dance the Peacock Dance, she might be able to get first place. . . "
"Is that so? There's still a competition next year. I still need to let Qiuhe perform an innovative folk dance. If I can get a better result, Teacher Tao might change his view. "
"It's a peacock dance, after all. Don't be too serious. This is especially true for the Dai clan. "
After saying that, Mrs. Lin drank a big mouthful of lemon water and put down the cup. She stood up: "I'm sorry, I don't have time. We can talk again if we have the chance. I won't see you off, goodbye " Without giving Tao Huizhen any chance to retort, Madam Lin headed towards the door.
The lemon water she put down was still shaking in the transparent cup.
Tao Huizhen stood up and supported the coffee table. She said behind Madam Lin, "It doesn't matter if Teacher Lin doesn't give me time. You haven't seen that child dance, right? I hope you can give her some time. Let her dance a Peacock Dance for you. "
The back of the skeleton that Madam Lin had left for Tao Huizhen stiffened. She hesitated for a moment before landing on the ground with one of her legs in the air. Teacher Lin turned around and said, "You have another student who has also been recruited by Yun Yi, right?"
"He can be considered as a side student. " Tao Huizhen answered truthfully.
Mrs. Lin waved her hand and left the coffee shop. Tao Huizhen sat there again, wanting to finish the juice before leaving.
The conversation didn't go very smoothly, but the road of the dance academy was still the most correct one for Qiuhe. Teacher Lin's persistence also had a certain degree of persuasive power. Even she, Tao Huizhen, couldn't deny it completely.
She sipped on the juice and kept recalling the conversation between the two of them. But she wasn't too bothered by this. She drank as if she was enjoying it. She threw the time to the back of her mind. Relax. He leaned against the window and looked at the clean road. He couldn't see the end of it. Not far away, a building in the Yunyi campus stuck its head out from the corner of the wall. Slowly, She leaned against the leather sofa and accidentally fell asleep. A song lingered in her ears.
. . .
On the second Wednesday after she returned from Kunming, Tao Huizhen received a local literature magazine from the sender. The packaging was simple, and the price was only three dollars and eighty cents. There weren't many pages either. The sender asked her to pay attention to an article called My Home.
Tao Huizhen immediately flipped open the page of My Home and quickly read it. Slowly, she heard the surging blood in her body. The sound of her heart beating against her chest was muffled; the sound of branches breaking out of the earth was heard by her ears. The tear gland also worked. This so-called "my hometown" was the green bamboo forest at the entrance of the village. It was a bamboo tower with a hanging foot on the roof of a hill that was arranged in a straight line. It was a tiny needle-tip monastery. At the same time, it also brought up Tao Huizhen's memories of Dai Village. It was described in the article. "Outside the village, the silver curved stickers are flashing under the sunlight. Gao Yuan's sky, Gao Yuan's mountain, Gao Yuan's tea field. I will never forget the horizontal and vertical lines of my hometown. One sutra and one sutra. "
"Indeed, just as Teacher Tao had hoped, all of this is peaceful and safe. I'll send you this magazine. I'm going back. " The reporter looked around Da Tea Village and took a deep look at Tao Huizhen.
After saying thank you, she sent the reporter away and returned to the bamboo building. Tao Huizhen calmed down and read the article three times. Countless time threads rolled in her mind. Da Tea Village bore too many of her memories. As a result, she couldn't stop crying. She used her finger to draw on the author's signature. The signature there was (Big Hero Ah Liang).
