Joyful Sound

In the city with flashing neon lights, social worker Liu Fan always feels that life is missing a little melody. Once, inspired by a song, he held the dusty old guitar and opened the music school where Cheng Xin was working. The notes flowing from Cheng Xin's fingertips broke into Liu Fan's dull world like a beam of light. The chord teaching in class and the music chat after class made the tremor on the guitar strings gradually spread to the heartbeat. Liu Fan clumsily adjusted the pitch with a capo, and also quietly adjusted the distance from Cheng Xin. From the initial embarrassment of not being able to remember the chords, to being able to play and sing her favorite old songs, love quietly grew with every pluck of the strings. Love is never a simple combination of chords. The gap between reality, the shadow of the past, and sudden misunderstandings disrupted the rhythm of the two of them like discordant noises. Liu Fan was confused by playing out-of-tune music on the street late at night, and Cheng Xin was also silent in front of the music score in the empty piano room. But the time spent together has already engraved each other's voices in our hearts. When Liu Fan held the guitar again and sang the song he wrote for her in the studio where they had met, the tears in Cheng Xin's eyes finally merged with the melody to form their most touching urban love song.
