They cried!
Everyone cried!
What’s wrong with them?
Why are they all crying?!!
Foreign friends were extremely surprised!
Just a song, is it really that infectious?
The lyrics of “My Chinese Heart” are simple and easy to remember.
When the melody reached the end, people couldn’t help but sing along with Li Zetian while shedding tears:
“…
The Yangtze, the Great Wall, Mount Huang, the Yellow River
Weigh heavily in my heart
Whenever and wherever
The affinity in my heart remains the same
The blood flowing in my heart
Surges with the voice of China
Even if born in a foreign land, it cannot change
My Chinese heart”
Many Chinese people present were born and raised in the United States, and some had never even been to China, but the singing voiced their innermost feelings.
Just as the lyrics said, whenever and wherever, the blood flowing in the heart surges with the voice of China.
Even if born in a foreign land, it cannot change my Chinese heart!
A single song of yearning brings a thousand lines of tears!!!!
This moment at the New Year’s Eve gala was the truest portrayal!
Li Zetian had already finished singing, but the next program couldn’t proceed normally.
The audience was all sobbing and shedding tears.
“Thank you everyone for liking this song — ‘My Chinese Heart’!”
After Li Zetian finished speaking, he returned the microphone to the host.
The beautiful host’s eyes were red.
She took the microphone, and with a choked voice, she said: “This is the most touching song I have ever heard!
Thank you, thank you for being able to write such a wonderful song for us!!!” She said while wiping her tears.
At this time, applause broke out below the stage, far overshadowing the sound when Bruce Lee made his appearance!
As Li Zetian walked off the stage, people couldn’t help but actively make way for him, sending the hero off with reverent gazes!!!
Before Li Zetian even returned to his seat, Yu Jingqiu had already rushed over, hugged him tightly, and passionately offered her first kiss.
It was an enviable, suffocating, and crazy deep kiss!
Mmh…
The United States in the 1970s was actually still relatively conservative, and it was even more conservative for Chinese people.
Kissing in public places would mostly attract criticism.
But at this very moment, not only did people not criticize, they instead clapped and encouraged them!
A talented scholar and a beautiful lady, a perfect match!!!
And Chen Ruoxi’s face wasn’t looking too good either.
She originally thought the thing she casually threw away was a worthless stone, who knew it was actually a piece of uncut jade!
Bruce Lee stood up from his seat at this time, but people’s gazes were still fixed on Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu.
It was only when Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu finished kissing and prepared to return to their seats hand in hand that people noticed Bruce Lee again.
Bruce Lee’s gaze looked at Li Zetian and said to him: “This is a fantastic patriotic song.
It simply sang into people’s hearts.
More importantly, it can awaken the patriotism of countless Chinese sons and daughters!!!”
“If I use my singing to awaken people’s patriotism, then you definitely use Chinese kung fu to awaken people’s patriotism!” Li Zetian smiled!
Hearing this, Bruce Lee couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Obviously, Li Zetian’s words hit his heart.
“Do you want to learn kung fu?” Bruce Lee said.
“If you want to learn, I can teach you personally, and it’s free!!!”
Hearing this, Li Zetian couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.
Thinking back, when a second-rate Mo’s Martial Arts School was recruiting disciples, he couldn’t go because he had no money.
He hadn’t expected that today, the martial arts grandmaster Bruce Lee would be willing to teach him kung fu personally!
“Of course I am willing!” Li Zetian nodded and agreed, thinking to himself, learning martial arts can strengthen the body.
Next time if anyone dares to bully me, I can beat them up.
“This is my business card, you can contact me!” Bruce Lee handed Li Zetian a black business card.
“Mhm, okay!” Li Zetian took the business card, glanced at it, and saw there were only two phone numbers written on it, one for Hong Kong and one for the United States.
Everyone felt surprised.
As everyone knew, Bruce Lee was extremely strict in accepting disciples.
He wouldn’t teach disciples without talent, and he wouldn’t teach those who couldn’t afford the tuition fees.
But now he was actually accepting a disciple for free!
However, for the young musical genius Li Zetian to be able to write an emotionally rich patriotic song like “My Chinese Heart”, he was indeed worthy of Bruce Lee accepting him as a disciple!
Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu returned to their seats.
Wang Lie and Chen Ruoxi seemed to feel a lot of pressure and remained silent.
All the subsequent performances paled in comparison to “My Chinese Heart”.
People were still immersed in the melody and lyrics of this song.
This was probably the so-called “the lingering sound curls around the rafters and doesn’t fade for three days”!
Yu Jingqiu had no mood to watch the performances either.
Li Zetian was indeed a super musical genius just as she had thought!
At this time, she brought her mouth close to Li Zetian’s ear and asked in a low voice: “You said you would write a song for me.
When will the song be ready?”
Li Zetian felt a light breeze blow by his ear, tickling him, and instantly his mind wandered.
“It’s all in my head.
Whenever you want it, you can have it!”
“Then I want it as soon as we get back!”
“Okay, no problem!”
Yu Jingqiu was delighted and kissed Li Zetian on the cheek.
Half an hour later, the gala ended.
Li Zetian escorted Yu Jingqiu back to her dormitory.
Usually, Li Zetian would leave after escorting Yu Jingqiu downstairs to her dormitory.
But tonight, Li Zetian still had to write a song for Yu Jingqiu, so he came into Yu Jingqiu’s dorm room.
As soon as he walked through the door, he smelled a refreshing fragrance.
The room was like a small apartment, with a living room, kitchen, bedroom, and so on.
Li Zetian followed Yu Jingqiu into her bedroom.
The impression Yu Jingqiu’s bedroom gave Li Zetian was tidy, clean, and bright, not like a little girl’s room filled with all kinds of dolls.
However, the desk in the bedroom was piled up with many books.
It could be seen that Yu Jingqiu liked reading very much.
At this time, Yu Jingqiu pushed Li Zetian down to sit on a chair, then found an exquisite notebook and a fountain pen and placed them in front of him.
“You write the song, I’ll go make a glass of fresh juice for you!”
“Okay…” Li Zetian nodded.
As for what song to write, he had already decided.
He decided to write her an English song sung by Hayley Westenra, “My heart belongs to you”.
This sentence also represented Li Zetian’s promise to Yu Jingqiu!
Soon, Li Zetian finished writing the entire song.
In his previous life, in order to learn English, Li Zetian would listen to English songs when he was tired, relaxing and enjoying while at the same time learning English through listening.
Therefore, with his good memory, he really remembered quite a few English songs.
Yu Jingqiu came in holding two glasses of apple juice, “How’s the song coming along?”
“I’m done writing!”
“Done writing already?!
What’s the title of the song?”
“See for yourself!”
Yu Jingqiu handed a glass of juice to Li Zetian, which happened to free up one hand to take the notebook.
Seeing the song title was “My heart belongs to you”, Yu Jingqiu suddenly froze, and couldn’t help being filled with joy.
At this time, Li Zetian put down the juice, suddenly stood up, walked behind her, and hugged Yu Jingqiu’s slender waist.
“Do you like this song?”
“I like it!!!” Just looking at the title, Yu Jingqiu was already incredibly fond of it.
She immediately turned her head and began kissing Li Zetian.
In such an atmosphere, when emotions ran deep, just when Li Zetian thought something might happen tonight, a slight noise came from the main door of the dormitory.
Chen Ruoxi opened the door and walked in.
And at this very moment, Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu didn’t notice, until Chen Ruoxi walked into the living room and let out a surprised cry.
Only then did Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu realize that their bedroom door wasn’t closed!!!!
Naturally, Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu were too embarrassed to be intimate in front of others, so the two quickly let go.
Seeing the glass of juice on the table, Li Zetian immediately picked it up and said: “Um, I was thirsty, so I came in to drink a glass of juice…”
