When Shen Lisheng was being pressed on the head by the class leader and giving medicine, she heard the voice on the gramophone. It was her own singing. It was recorded, and when it was played back, it sounded like another person singing. The class leader said that a singing voice is not valuable, but what is valuable is what can be left behind. She didn't understand what it meant to stay. She only knew that the machine was more valuable than people. Later she learned that the gramophone could not only record sounds, but also turn sounds into real money. Record a piece of "The Drunken Concubine" and you can take out a pair of gold bracelets from the machine the next day. Record a piece of "Farewell My Concubine" and you can find a dagger. The more records are recorded, the slower the machine turns. The record boss in Shanghai wanted to buy her voice, the young actor from the theater troupe wanted to steal her limelight, and the singer from Paramount wanted to compete with her for her job. Shen Lisheng clutched the gramophone and gave it to no one. She wants to turn her voice into something that no one can take away.
