"Encore!... Encore!... Encore!... Encore!"

The hundreds of students surrounding him actually started shouting for an encore in the underground passage!

Lin Zai Shan was amused by these adorable students, making him feel as if he were really giving a concert.

He glanced at Kui Yu.

Kui Yu nodded, indicating that it was fine to sing another song. She was also looking forward to Lin Zai Shan singing a Cantonese song!

In this plane's Chinese Empire, Cantonese is a very important language, second only to the official Mandarin.

In the upper echelons of society here, if you can't speak Cantonese, no one will even consider you for their circle.

This is because the founder of the Great Chinese Dynasty, historically known as the "Chongyang Emperor," Yang Gongcheng, was a native of Guangzhou and a member of a noble family.

In Chinese history, the last emperor who rose from the south to conquer the north, Zhu Chongba, was born into poverty.

Yang Gongcheng, however, was not born into poverty; he was truly a member of a noble family.

According to historical records, he was a wise and just emperor, both a scholar and a warrior, with a vision for the world.

After the Great Chinese Dynasty conquered the entire territory of China, which is shaped like a hibiscus leaf, the Chongyang Emperor attempted to promote Cantonese, which retains more features of ancient Chinese, as the official language nationwide, but unfortunately, it did not succeed.

If the Chongyang Emperor had lived for another ten years, the official language of this plane's China might have become Cantonese.

After the Chongyang Emperor's death, to consolidate the regime, his son, Emperor Wensheng Yang Jiahong, adopted the advice of his ministers and did not forcefully promote Cantonese as the official language, instead maintaining the traditions of the previous dynasty.

However, in the daily lives of the royal family, Cantonese has always been the primary language.

Since the emperor always spoke Cantonese, which of the ministers or nobles would dare not learn Cantonese?

Even today, the Great Chinese Dynasty's royal family still retains the habit of speaking Cantonese in non-official settings.

The nobles with old money, regardless of whether they are from Guangzhou or not, all have a special course to learn Cantonese from childhood.

In the upper echelons of this plane's Chinese Empire, almost everyone, regardless of age or gender, can speak fluent Cantonese, a tradition that has lasted nearly two hundred years.

Foreigners who want to deal with Chinese nobles must first learn Cantonese, which shows how important Cantonese is in this plane.

The people of Guangzhou, who speak Cantonese in their daily lives, have a subtle sense of superiority, a legacy of the past and a new pride for the people of Guangzhou today.

The vast region of Guangzhou, which includes the two Guang provinces, is the top and strongest state in the Chinese Empire of this plane.

Whether in terms of population, economy, science and education, or cultural level, Guangzhou far surpasses other states.

In this plane's Chinese Empire, there has been no confrontation with the UN forces in Korea, nor has there been a visionary leadership that led the Chinese people to develop nuclear weapons in a complex international environment. Therefore, the international status of the Chinese Empire in this plane is not as high as that of the People's Republic of China in the other plane.

However, in terms of economic level, the Chinese Empire, which excels in both the East and the West and has mastered the art of thick-skinned and black-hearted politics, is not low.

Especially the highly developed Guangzhou, where the living standards of the people are almost on par with those in Southern Europe.

Even the third most economically developed state, Minzhou, had a per capita GDP of over $15,000 in 2006.

But this was only about two-thirds of Guangzhou's level.

Due to the lack of a highly centralized political system, the development of the states in this plane's Chinese Empire is somewhat fragmented, with significant wealth disparities between states. The political parties each have their own agendas, and none of them have the charisma and vision to unite the people.

The Chinese have always been skilled at internal strife, and under such a political system, the domestic political situation can be imagined to be very chaotic and dark.

The strength of Guangzhou in this plane's Chinese Empire is unprecedented.

After the Great Chinese Dynasty's royal family abdicated, they continued to develop in Guangzhou, which has made the unique Cantonese culture have a deep influence on the entire country.

Even though the use of simplified characters has been widely promoted nationwide, the highly autonomous Guangzhou still retains the habit of using traditional characters in many newspapers and magazines.

Many people in Guangzhou cannot write simplified characters, just as they cannot speak Mandarin.

They believe that maintaining the same habits as the royal family is the true pride and tradition of the Chinese nation.

However, in reality, the Yang royal family has long promoted the use of simplified characters in official settings.

In official settings, members of the Great Chinese Dynasty's royal family are very cautious and almost never speak Cantonese. They are well aware that they represent the entire country, not just Guangzhou.

In the field of popular culture, Cantonese songs and Cantonese films hold a very important position in this plane, and Guangzhou has always been the largest market for domestic popular culture consumption.

A national music variety show like "The Strongest Singer" even has a special Cantonese song competition to cater to the market preferences of Guangzhou.

The pronunciation of Cantonese songs is very pleasant and blends seamlessly with the melody, so even people from other major states who do not understand Cantonese still enjoy listening to Cantonese songs.

At this moment, when the students heard Le Zihui request that Lin Zai Shan sing a Cantonese song, they were very excited and eager to see how well Lin Zai Shan could sing in Cantonese.

Feeling the enthusiasm of these students, Lin Zai Shan's emotions were stirred.

Since Le Zihui mentioned that he is the lead singer of Beyond, he decided to perform a classic Beyond song for these vibrant students!

"A person can be very poor, struggling, and lowly, but they cannot lack dreams. The happiest thing in this world is to strive for one's dreams. I dedicate this song, 'No Regrets,' to you all, hoping that it will ignite the young hearts of those who are determined to pursue their dreams!"

"Oh oh oh~~~~~"

The young students were moved by Lin Zai Shan's powerful and inspiring words and the rekindled melody of pursuing dreams, and they cheered excitedly.

Le Zihui stepped back a few steps and, following the rhythm, led the applause for Lin Zai Shan.

It was as if he had suddenly become decades younger, and in the cheers of the crowd, Lin Zai Shan sang the classic Beyond song, "No Regrets," with great passion and excitement!

...

Bored, I see hesitation~

Reaching the ideal is not easy~

Even with confidence~

The fighting spirit is suppressed~

...

Who decides whether I stay or go~

Decides the universe in my heart~

I just want to wave to my ideals with my two hands~

...

Ask how high the sky is, my aspirations are higher than the sky~

Live with an unbreakable spirit until old age~

...

OH~~~ I have my heart's story~

Written by my own hand~

Wins and losses, joy and sorrow, and dreams~

...

OH~~~ Even with wounds, I will not retreat~

Dreams will be achieved one day~

Find the world of dreams in my heart~

Finally, I will see~!

...

Sun Yuzhen had previously heard Lin Zai Shan sing the Cantonese song "Aurora," so she was not surprised by his super-standard Cantonese pronunciation.

Listening to Lin Zai Shan sing such an inspiring Cantonese song and feeling the enthusiastic and vibrant passion of the students around her, Sun Yuzhen's long-dormant dream-chasing heart was rekindled!

From this song, Sun Yuzhen felt Lin Zai Shan's "unbreakable" spirit and his courage to move forward without hesitation.

The path of this uncle's comeback is much more difficult than her own dream-chasing journey.

At his age, having fallen into a nearly impossible abyss, Lin Zai Shan did not lose heart but firmly continued on his dream-chasing path without looking back, which greatly inspired Sun Yuzhen.

"When will I have the courage like this uncle...?"

Her innocent eyes sparkled with longing, and Sun Yuzhen clenched her fists in excitement, wanting to cheer with the students around her.

Bai Ge, moved by the passionate music, could not contain her excitement and had already mixed into the crowd of students to cheer for her father's music.

The hundreds of students in the underground passage were all stirred up by Lin Zai Shan, and many of them were dancing and cheering to the melody.

Kui Yu was extremely excited!

Before coming to the underground passage to shoot, she never imagined that Lin Zai Shan's street performance would cause such a热烈的反响！

她不停地用手势提醒同样被林在山的音乐刺激得兴奋的黄迪，一定要把画面拍好！不要太过激动！回去慢慢激动，现在工作要紧！

这段视频太珍贵了，如果拍好了，回去剪出精彩的小片，未来将是他们节目炒热话题的重要法宝！

在适当的时机放到网上，还很可能会给林在山的参赛带来意想不到的人气和正面效果！

在这个平面的这个时期，互联网科技和3C科技都相对落后，手机的发展相当于另一个平面2004年初的水平。

大部分手机都不带摄像功能。最先进的手机，摄像头也只有30万像素，还是宣称的30万像素，实际拍摄效果非常之烂，很少有人用手机录影。

否则，像现在地下通道这么热闹的场面，早就有学生用手机录下来了。

林在山唱High了，这首《不再犹豫》，他重复了整整两遍，唱了足足有十分钟，才最终让回春的激情落幕。

在这个过程中，有很多学生头脑发热地往吉他箱里给林在山新扔了钱。

白鸽粗粗目测，她老爹的吉他箱里至少有1500块钱的收入了！

这真是一笔大钱啊！

她老爹才唱了一个多小时，就有这么多收入，天才就是天才！她老爹果然是这世界上最棒的音乐人！

然而，令白鸽没想到的是，林在山最后唱完，竟然问现场：“围着的同学里，有没有东艺大助学基金会的成员或干事？”

“我是，大叔！”

一个胖胖的长得很憨厚的男生站出来了。

“感谢同学们的慷慨解囊，今天吉他箱里的所有收入，都会捐给东艺大的助学基金会。”

林在山此话一出，围着的学生们立刻给林在山奉上了赞美的掌声。

“这钱虽然不多，但希望你们的慷慨捐助，以及这份热心，能帮到那些出身贫寒、胸怀艺术梦想的学子。你们捐出的每一分钱，都有可能是未来艺术家心里的温暖回忆。我代他们先谢谢你们了。”

“噢噢噢~~~”学生们又是一阵欢呼，为林在山的人格魅力而欢呼。

白鸽傻眼的看向了孙玉珍，孙玉珍傻眼的看向了奎玉，奎玉摇摇头，表示这不是她的安排！她没有让林在山这么做！

立刻，奎玉和孙玉珍眼里就写满了赞叹的神色，心说这大叔太会做效果了！

他应该是出于真心想把这些钱捐给东艺大的助学基金会的，并没有太想作秀的意思。要知道，白鸽就是东艺大助学基金会赞助的学生。

但现在他做出这样的举动，再加上之前他唱的那些鼓励性的歌曲，这言行举止都给他的形象大加分啊！

奎玉激动的都想和孙玉珍拍手相庆了。这段影片未来做好了，一定能让林在山的形象带来巨大的扭转效果！

白鸽本来很心疼林在山一下子把这么多钱都给捐出去。但想想，这么多年来，各种基金会和社会福利组织，一直在无私的帮助他们的家庭。现在他们把这种帮助回馈给别人，这都是理所应当做的。

想必，一直保佑着他们的妈祖也希望看到他们这么做吧。

想通后，白鸽的心情变得格外畅然，她看她老爹的形象也越发的高大上了。

【PS：请大家不要和这本书中的环境设定较真儿。我这么设定，只是为了更好的搬粤语歌，没别的意思。书里的中华帝国没有改革开放的背景，不像我们生活的位面，粤语歌有先红的基础。我想了几个设定方法，让这个位面的粤语歌变得更重要，但感觉都不太妥当。索性把大华的皇帝设成粤州人好了，这样粤语歌就有比较重要的地位了，搬起来也会理所当然一些。最后强调一下，本书是写音乐的小说，不会涉及政治以及别的乱七八糟的东西，请大家放心阅读。】
