Northeast China, 1979. Seven-year-old Shen Xiaodi was reborn into the dirt-poor Shen family. That battered suona in the corner? To her, it was a glittering golden ticket!
With her hands behind her back and the suona slung over her shoulder, the little girl declared, "Don't worry, Mom and Dad. From now on, we'll have meat at every meal!" Auntie Wang, the neighbor, sneered. "Possessed by a weasel spirit? That busted pipe can play you steamed buns made of white flour?"
Then her chance came! The son of the commune secretary was getting married and needed some entertainment. Shen Xiaodi volunteered: "If my rendition of A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix doesn't knock everyone's socks off, I'll drink my porridge standing on my head!" When the suona's brilliant, soaring notes tore through the silence, the crowd was stunned by the sound of a hundred birds singing!
The road to fortune for suona prodigy Shen Xiaodi was officially underway:
Hands behind her back, she was a "master in the making"; suona slung over her shoulder, she had a "golden ticket"! A wedding? Play Good Luck Is Coming for extra pay! A funeral? Play Today Is a Good Day for extra pay! "I'm not playing tunes, I'm playing for steamed buns!"
Outsmarting a nasty neighbor? Her sharp one-liners left Auntie Wang speechless, while her suona tunes tricked people without them even realizing it!
Watch seven-year-old "veteran artist" Shen Xiaodi use the suona, the "musical instrument hooligan," to make her mark in the 1970s:
Turn mockery into amazement!
Turn poverty into prosperity! (Build a brick house!)
Blast the 1970s with hit songs from the future and win over the countryside with real talent!
Stand up for her parents, feed her little brother, and lead the whole family toward becoming a household worth ten thousand yuan!
"With me around, Mom and Dad, you'll never go hungry?" Think bigger! Master Shen's goal is to take the suona beyond China's borders!
Hands behind her back, suona slung over her shoulder. Watch this little girl use the most "rustic" instrument to play the most "lavish" life! A hilarious, exhilarating tale of a comeback in a bygone era!
Although there are only thirty chapters and 140,000 words, it has already crushed all novels. Those with hundreds of chapters, thousands of chapters, millions of words, or tens of millions of words are just scum in front of this novel. Why? Because this book was written incorrectly and could not pass the review, it had to be written upside down.
The plot is full of ups and downs, suspenseful and fascinating.
The idea of the article is good, but the number of words is too few, and it feels like the heroine's career is about to reach a higher level before it ends.
It's well written, and it captures the bitterness and helplessness of the times. It's very touching.
It's pretty good, but it's too short and I didn't see enough.
Like, funny, festive
The subject matter is novel, the perspective is unique, and the description is vivid
It's a bit interesting and quite innovative.
The concept of this book is novel, the writing is delicate and humorous. It's very beautiful and worth picking up, you won't regret it.
It's really well written, but it's a pity that my language skills are so poor that I don't know how to comment. It's not an ordinary online essay. The author's writing skills are too deep.
