Golden Greenery

Zhuo Yang, surrounded by many media at Frankfurt Airport, looked up to the sky helplessly and sighed: God, are you fucking kidding me?

When setting off from Chengdu, Zhuoyang chose the Chengdu-Seoul-Frankfurt-Manchester flight plan. Although it took a little trouble, this plan can guarantee an immediate departure and transfer in the shortest time after landing. The time to arrive in Manchester is also earliest.

The game will whistle at 20:45 GMT on the 20th. If all goes well, Zhuo Yang will arrive in Manchester at 1 minute.

Everything went smoothly at first, but when the Korean Air flight flew out of the land and over the Yellow Sea in China, it was notified that there was a communication failure from the Seoul Airport tower, and the plane was temporarily unable to take off and land. After waiting in the air for more than an hour, the plane found no problem but ran out of fuel, so we had no choice but to make an alternate landing in Chungju, South Korea.

Watching the plane finish refueling, Zhuo Yang waited impatiently for another six hours before the flight took off again in the direction of Seoul. However, as soon as the control tower was restored, the flight from Seoul to Frankfurt had already taken off half an hour before Zhuoyang landed, and no one was waiting for him.

Zhuo Yang was jumping and cursing in the lobby of Incheon International Airport.

After losing my temper, I could only change my flight urgently, but the direct flight to Frankfurt was not a bus. There were more than ten flights a day, and one flight every three days was already too much. A few hours later, Zhuo Yang took a red-eye flight in the middle of the night and flew around. He stopped in Beijing to get on and off, and then stopped in Tehran and then in Athens. As expected, the bus was empty. After arriving in Frankfurt, only Zhuo Yang came from Seoul.

Fortunately, the flight was not delayed. It was slow, but it finally arrived at Frankfurt Rhine-Main Airport on time. There was a direct flight to Manchester in two hours.

At this time, it was already 11 o'clock on the morning of the 20th.

Zhuo Yang kept in touch with the team all the way, informed him of his situation, and asked the team to keep his registration. He would arrive at the city stadium as scheduled no matter what.

However, as soon as he hung up the phone, something unexpected happened again. The boarding time was pushed back again and again without explanation. Zhuo Yang was so angry that he yelled at all the uniformed staff he could see. If not everyone recognized his face, he would definitely be arrested by airport security as a terrorist.

I finally got on the plane, but couldn't take off. Then the crew members very politely informed the passengers that the aircraft's bleed air system failure was still not eliminated, and the pilot decided not to take the risk of taking off, but to wait for a complete overhaul. Now please go back to the terminal. The airline will arrange another plane to carry out this flight. I hope everyone will wait patiently. I am very sorry.

Even if you dare to risk flying, I wouldn’t dare to risk sitting on it!

The flight belongs to Swedish Airlines Gotland, so naturally it can only be replaced by Swedish Airways aircraft. Even if Lufthansa has a hundred idle aircraft at this time, others will not imitate Léi Feng.

Zhuo Yang stared and wanted to hit someone, and even the passengers passing by were busy helping him to apologize.

The news that Zhuo Yang had traveled thousands of miles to fight but was trapped at Frankfurt Airport quickly spread throughout the world. The various media outlets that got wind of the news crowded the waiting hall of the University of Nottingham.

He was attacked with long guns and short cannons, and some TV stations even started live broadcasts. Zhuo Yang, who was already agitated, had his head on fire and was about to go crazy. A call from his father Zhuo Tongtong calmed him down.

"Zhuoyang, calm yourself down first and do your best. Remember, don't let your mother worry about you."

From the time he stepped off the team bus in Naples, Zhuo Yang has not had a good rest until now. Physical fatigue and the unsatisfactory return journey almost caused him to have an emotional breakdown. His father's call made him regain his senses at the last moment, and his round eyes regained his charming double eyelids.

After rubbing his face vigorously and smoothing back his slightly messy long hair, Zhuo Yang silently separated the reporters and crowds around him and walked toward the center of the departure hall. The melon-eaters didn't know what he was going to do, and they rushed around him with hula-la.

Zhuo Yang walked towards the red grand piano.

Since Zhuo Yang first arrived in Germany from China six years ago and transferred to Hannover at Frankfurt Airport for the first time, this big red triangle has been here. Five years ago, he and Kexie Piernan met at this piano, and then recovered their childhood sweetheart Sun Yumei.

From then on, whenever he had a layover in Frankfurt, Zhuo Yang would come here from time to time to play for a few minutes, and it became a scene here.

Putting his small backpack at his feet, Zhuo Yang sat on the piano bench and closed his eyes and began to meditate. The noisy crowd around him gradually quieted down. Everyone held their breath, as if they were afraid of disturbing him.

In a minute of meditation, Zhuo Yang allowed himself to completely enter his own realm. He forgot about the world around him, just like he practiced beside his piano every day. Putting his hands gently on the keys, his eyes opened, and his eyes were extremely clear.

Zhuo Yang's left hand started running, and the piano suddenly tilted and produced a strong galloping sound, which instantly made people's blood boil, like a violent wave rolling in. Immediately afterwards, the majestic octave melody of the right hand and the stormy dominant ninth chord of the left hand suddenly hit. The fast sixteenth notes jumped two octaves and descended, forming an irrepressible sound flow.

Chopin's "Etudes in C minor" (op10·No·12), also known as "Revolution", is the most widely circulated among all 27 etudes created by Chopin.

Because he was going to participate in the very important 'Chopin Golden Competition' at the end of October, Zhuo Yang started special intensive training on Chopin, for which he already had great experience. From the surging majesty of "Revolution" to the sadness and beauty of "Farewell". The beautiful arpeggios of "Psalm Escape", the beauty and lightness of "Butterfly", the decisiveness and irresistibility of "Ocean", the brilliance and majesty of "Winter Wind".

Zhuoyang turned the Frankfurt Airport lobby into a Chopin etude concert. The surrounding media and passengers listened attentively, while the people in front simply sat on the floor. Zhuoyang's dual identities of football and piano are well known to the world, but ordinary people are not as directly impressed by his piano as his football, because after all, classical piano is a niche art and can hardly be seen on TV. In other words, everyone knows that he is a very good young pianist, but how outstanding it is is not clear.

Surrounded by many media and TV stations, Zhuo Yang was able to live broadcast his piano art to the world for the first time, through emergency broadcasts on TV and the pervasive Internet. At this moment, hundreds of millions of people are listening to his music. For the first time, Zhuoyang has fully entered the intuitive feelings of ordinary people with his artistic image.

The etudes are followed by a series of nocturnes that are mixed with melancholy and sighs in a soothing, meditative and lingering atmosphere. They are like swaying and poetic chants, soothing everyone present and listening to his piano at this moment. Weary heart.

When Zhuo Yang used Chopin's three famous "Polonaises" as the finale of today's performance, ending this landmark live broadcast in the history of classical music, a full moon had quietly hung in the sky.
