Every September, at some point on the road, I will reflexively play "September High Heels" in my mind.
Because when I was in school, my favorite radio host would play this song every September, and Qi Yu’s ethereal voice lingered in my ears: “Take off your tired high heels and step barefoot on the small steps of the Earth Garden. , my dream is not in Paris, Tokyo or New York..."
Sitting in front of the radio, I wanted to ask, why?
At that time, I was still a frog in the well, and my dreams were in Paris, Tokyo and New York.
Time flies. After work, I began to travel around the world, and my dreams of going to Paris, Tokyo, and New York came true.
In September of that year, I wrote this memory in my circle of friends. My favorite host left me a message and said: It feels so good to have a dream come true.
I replied to her: It was you who planted these beautiful melodies and seeds in my heart.
Many years before this, I came back from my first trip to Paris and was invited to be a guest on her show. I can’t remember exactly what the opportunity was. I only remember that when we met that day, she was live broadcasting I was given a bouquet of violets once in a while. We listened to the original soundtrack of "Midnight in Paris" at the beginning of the program, and the ending song was "La Vie en Rose" by Piaf.
Going back in time, I was in high school. After evening self-study, the most relaxing moment was listening to the radio. "Rodin Musical Theater" hosted by Roger and Cheng Dan was my favorite program at the time. The opening sentence: "Some ideals will never have a chance to be realized, but that doesn't mean we can't have dreams from now on..." I can still say it word for word. It came from the Beijing Youth Daily, which was very popular back then. Journalist An Dan's essay "It Doesn't Rain in European Skies" was adapted into a musical by Cheng Dan and Roger and broadcast on the radio.
When I was in college, I was listening to the radio one day. Cheng Dan said that some listeners asked for a replay of "It Will Not Rain in Europe", but she lost the script.
I happened to buy a collection of essays "Verb Settlement", so I copied the "It Will Not Rain in the Sky of Europe" included in it and sent it to Cheng Dan. I was young at that time. If it were now, of course Send books directly.
Sent with the letter, there is also a brief self-introduction. Soon I heard a replay of the musical and Cheng Dan thanking me on the show.
Then I was admitted to the school radio station. The teacher asked Zhang Qing, a senior who worked in a newspaper office, to come back to school to give us a communication lecture. During the lecture, Zhang Qing asked us whether we usually listen to the radio and which hosts we like. I gave My hand said Cheng Dan's name, and she asked me if I knew Cheng Dan and if I could interview her. I said yes without hesitation.
This moment of confidence was also the first time that came unexpectedly. I followed the contact information of the radio station broadcast in the program and found Cheng Dan. She readily accepted my interview, and the article was successfully published in the newspaper. Therefore, I followed Zhang Qing as an intern until graduation, and successfully entered the newspaper office, working with the media people I had admired from afar. Become a peer.
During the relatively closed student days, because I saw with my own eyes a woman with a rich spiritual world and an interesting and classy life in the same city, I knew where I would go in the future and what kind of life I would live. I was not afraid of the unknown. I feel anxious and confused, but until today, I am determined to listen to my inner voice, not follow the crowd, be ordinary and content with myself.
Reading miscellaneous books, listening to music, watching European and American movies, and traveling around the world. Before the epidemic, I spent time doing the things I like. When the epidemic came, I stayed at home quietly, waiting as usual, reading, writing, and paying attention to the useless things. beauty.
While driving, I would listen to the radio, and occasionally Cheng Dan’s voice would come through. It is still the most intellectual and quality voice in this city in my heart.
Today I watched a talk show that talked about the fragmented era and the way young people obtain information. They can’t read it all on their mobile phones every day. Chen Danqing said that after entering the modern era, one of the most direct consequences is that people are driven by the fast-paced world. Life is so stressful that life seems to be very short. Life passes quickly. When you recall your life, it disappears in a moment. People’s sense of time has changed. Chen Danqing said unhurriedly that this is irreversible. He still has Lucky for me, those from the older generation are ancient people who use mobile phones to receive information and still have the habit of reading paper books...
Thinking of the old songs in September and the past events of my school days, I feel the same way. An ancient person, in the era of self-media, wrote words that never chase traffic.
The person is like a lake and the words are like a glass of boiled water. This is my normal state.
It’s the beginning of school again. I wish the young people who come to this city to sow their dreams and reap wonderful things.
