389: Chapter 389 What is obsession? Why no regrets?

Netizens who finished listening to "in the name of the father x loneliness (Remix)" have already gone to Lin Chuyan's Weibo to offer their knees.

[Brother, are you a genius?]

[So satisfying, Yanzi, this time it was truly satisfying to listen to.]

[Silky, too f*cking silky, no more words, going to put it on repeat.]

[Brother, perfect match, you and Ruan Xingyu are truly a perfect match, the people match, the songs match... so when are you getting married?]

[I've read satisfying novels, but satisfying songs are rare. Awesome, Yanzi.]

[Don't know why, but I heard a sense of educational training in it.]

[Yanzi, when you hold a concert in the future and sing "in the name of the father", you don't have to worry about not knowing what to do during the intro, hahaha.]

With this extremely delicious appetizer, the main course naturally sold even better.

Ruan Xingyu's new album "album" sold out on the first day.

Her previous album sold nearly 5 million copies, and the industry estimates this one will break records again.

And as for how good this album is...

Our Wawa, after listening to the whole album, is already thinking about how to write the Weibo post.

Initially, when Lin Chuyan knew this album was called "album", he only thought, "That's pretty good, every song really expresses the spirit of 'album'."

But in the eyes of a professional like Wawa, everything was different...

My idol Lin Chuyan is such an awesome person, the brand new album he created wholeheartedly for the Heavenly Queen, if I didn't see the goodness in it, it must be my problem!

Just messing around? How is that possible! It must have been carefully prepared!

If someone doesn't understand? It doesn't matter —

Teacher Wawa can solve this problem!

["album" is so awesome, it deserves to be an album created by Lin Chuyan. To better understand this album, we can try to divide it into two parts — "Obsession" and "No Regrets". What is obsession? Why no regrets? Family, wait for me for 30 minutes, I'm already writing the essay!]

Essay? What essay?

What? You need to write a little essay just to review an album?

Netizens, although confused, had their expectations maxed out.

Lin Chuyan was also curious.

"What is obsession, why no regrets" — these eight words already gave him a slight premonition: Oh no, did he really find a train of thought?

Thirty minutes meant thirty minutes; Wawa's little essay was indeed posted on time.

["album": In the maze of love, we are all persistent travelers.]

Love is a maze. We stumble in, are captured by sweet traps, scratched by painful thorns, yet still persistently search for the exit.

And this brand new album created by Lin Chuyan for Ruan Xingyu is the epitome of this maze. Every song is a story about "album".

"Common Songs" and "kepler", are two mirrors at the entrance of the maze. One reflects the world's gaze, the other refracts the inner desire. Should we care about others' evaluations, or follow our inner guidance? This is the obsession with self-identity.

"Millennium Love" and "Lydia", are two stone tablets deep in the maze. One is engraved with eternal vows, the other with fading memories. Should we indulge in past pain, or bravely face the future? This is the obsession with time and memory.

"Say You Love Me" and "Wild Child", are two lighthouses at the maze's fork in the road. One guides enthusiastic pursuit, the other illuminates the free soul. Should we give up ourselves for love, or maintain independence within love? This is the obsession with love and self.

"So Many People in This World" and "Close", are two windows at the maze's corner. One looks out at the vast sea of people, the other glimpses the distance between hearts. Should we fear loneliness, or bravely approach each other? This is the obsession with intimate relationships.

"Starfall" and "Beyond the Light Years", are two starry skies at the end of the maze. One flickers with momentary brilliance, the other tells of eternal distance. Should we be persistent about possessing the moment, or believe that love can cross time and space? This is the obsession with the instant and the eternal.

All of the above is "obsession", and "no regrets" is hidden in the last two songs.

Even if there is too much obsession in the world, we still choose no regrets.

Why?

"as you wish" is that answer —

Using "great love" to interpret "small love", this is the answer Lin Chuyan wants to tell you!

"as you wish" is the warm candlelight, the belief that still believes in beauty after experiencing wind and rain. It turns persistence into hope, and in the long wait, still firmly believes that everything will eventually "as you wish".

"You are the distant road, the lamp in the mountain fog."

What is the distant road? It is this maze of love. Even if it leads to an unknown distance, our predecessors still have "no regrets".

And the song "album", is the key to walking out of the maze!

Look at the lyrics:

"Others say I should give up, should open my eyes, I use my heart, to see and to feel."

"You are not me, so how can you understand? Even if it is obsession, I am still unrepentant."

This line is enough to explain everything.

Look back at "as you wish" —

Precisely because you are not me, you cannot understand why I would choose to stand up and fight when the country is in crisis.

Precisely because you are not me, you cannot understand why I would give up high office and generous salary to return to the country just because the motherland needs me.

...

"Great love" is like this, "small love" is even easier to understand.

"album" is the burning flame, the courage to move forward without hesitation even when knowing the road ahead is full of thorns. It doesn't ask for the ending, only asks for the initial intention, even if covered in cuts and bruises, it still believes in the power of love.

Now, do you understand? This is "album"!

This album uses music to build a maze of love. Only by having a "album" determination can one find their own exit, which is the most precious courage and strength we have in this maze.

Now, looking at the story behind this album again, do you have a new understanding of the relationship between Lin Chuyan and Ruan Xingyu?

They say they are showing off their affection, but what is the highest realm of showing off affection?

Lin Chuyan already has an album named after Ruan Xingyu, and "album", isn't it also Ruan Xingyu's confession of love?

This is an album created by Lin Chuyan for Ruan Xingyu, and this is also a song sung by Ruan Xingyu for Lin Chuyan.

He and she, love is as deep as the sea, "album".

...

Netizens were once again shocked by Teacher Wawa's professional interpretation: Holy crap, was this album this awesome? Sorry! It was I who didn't know what was good! Σ(ﾟдﾟlll)

Those who haven't bought the new album are on their way to buy it.

Those who have already bought it are also putting it on repeat again.

Lin Chuyan was also convinced: Who exactly taught you to interpret it this way? It's clearly just bragging, why does it sound... so reasonable?!

Teacher Wawa, please accept a bow from me, Lin Chuyan!
