Zhou Shen: Within the Light Cone

She believed that everything was numbered, but she was hit by a frequency that he could not calculate. When she was fifteen years old, Liu Yining lost her mother, leaving only her grandma and the boy across from her who sang very well. Zhou Shen's voice was like an unexpected standing wave, penetrating the high wall she had built with reason. She is a genius in physics competitions, using Maxwell's equations to describe the world, and using the uncertainty principle to interpret farewell. He was a boy who was ridiculed for his voice. He only dared to practice on the rooftop and took the pseudonym "Kabula" in YY Voice. She said: "The essence of sound is vibration, and the strange vibrations just have different frequencies." He said: "When you do the questions, your eyes will shine." In the second grade of high school, she entered the Olympiad class and he was in the ordinary class. On the rooftop, she was doing homework while he was practicing singing. Each is in darkness, but they become each other's light. She won the gold medal in the International Physics Olympiad and was recommended to the University of Science and Technology of China; He failed the college entrance examination and was sent by his parents to study medicine in Ukraine. She went to Princeton to pursue a PhD in physics; He dropped out of school without telling his family and was admitted to the Lviv State Conservatory of Music. The slumber of the strong voices of the times, the trough that lasted for several years, the breakup of "Big Fish", the peak of "Singer"—— As he sang louder and louder on the world stage, she stayed up late in the lab across the ocean to help him analyze contracts. From 2007 to 2022, from Guiyang to Kiev, New York, and Beijing—— Fifteen years of separation and persistence, countless brushes and looks back. He finally stood under the spotlight of the concert with thousands of people and sang to her in the first row: "Everyone in the light cone is you." It turns out that some voices, once they enter your life, never go away.
