At this time, the rainy season has arrived in Magic City. The light rain has been falling for a whole week. Most people who come to work in Magic City from other places complain about this, but the locals in Magic City have become accustomed to it and even enjoy it. This is the annual rainy season.
In a small bungalow near the Bund, Lin Ran stood in the yard holding an umbrella. The umbrella protected her from the drizzle above her head. She gently stretched out her hand, and tiny raindrops fell on her palm.
Lin Ran's physical appearance and appearance are typical Chinese, with black hair and yellow skin.
But her current nationality is listed as American. Going back a hundred years, her ancestors, that is, her great-grandfather's generation, were still Chinese.
More than a hundred years ago, China was invaded by Western powers. The domestic political situation was turbulent and warlords were everywhere. Lin Ran's great-grandfather left his bungalow in Shanghai and went to the United States.
Lin Ran wasn't born yet, so most of what happened at that time was mentioned by his grandfather.
A few years ago, when my grandfather was not paralyzed in bed, he would burst into tears every time he talked about his great-grandfather.
It is said that at the last moment of his life, my great-grandfather held my grandfather's hand and said that after his death, his ashes must be moved back to the land of China for burial.
Lin Ran grew up in the United States. Although she has feelings for China, she is not very fond of it. She often heard her grandfather use the name "motherland" when talking about China, but Lin Ran was not used to it, so she still called her China.
Unknowingly, there is another reincarnation. At that time, it was my great-grandfather who held my grandfather's hand and told him about his longing for China. Now, it is my grandfather who holds my father's hand and wants to see the mountains and rivers of China before he dies. , take a look at the place where I once lived and the city where I lived.
It was just that my father was too busy or simply didn't want to come back for an instruction, so he gave this task to Lin Ran, who had just graduated from college, and asked Lin Ran to return to China to take some videos and photos, and bring them to his grandfather's bedside. He relieves the pain of missing his motherland.
Lin Ran, who had just graduated from college, had not found a suitable job yet. She was idle anyway, and she had never been to China. She was also curious about China, so she took this opportunity to fly back to China.
During this period of time, she traveled through all the mountains and rivers in China, and visited many scenic spots in the provinces. She mainly enjoyed them for herself. She took some photos with her camera on the way to use them to deal with her grandfather when she returned. She really didn't understand why people were so obsessed with dying when they were about to die. The Demon City is her last stop, and it is also the most important stop as her father promised.
A breeze blew, mixed with a little cool air, and hit Lin Ran's face, waking her up.
She looked at her palm, where a small amount of rainwater had gathered. At this time, a voice came from the bungalow behind her, "Miss Lin, come in and eat some fruit."
Lin Ran responded, turned around and walked back to the bungalow.
It has been more than a hundred years since my great-grandfather left China. During these one hundred years, this bungalow also had a new owner, and its new owner was the former housekeeper of Lin Ran's family.
It is said that at that time, the Japanese were about to invade the magical city. My great-grandfather left in a hurry and handed over this old house to the housekeeper. After so many years, the old housekeeper has passed away long ago. The grandson of the old housekeeper lives here now. and great-grandchildren. Naturally, I can’t get the house back. However, Lin Ran never thought about taking back the house here, even though the price of this house is close to nine figures.
With this bungalow, the housekeeper and his family lived a relatively good life. The housekeeper's grandson and great-grandson showed obvious hostility after hearing Lin Ran reveal his identity. But later, after Lin Ran said that she would not go back to the house, the family's attitude and mood towards her became significantly better.
Lin Ran came to the sofa and sat down. There was freshly cut cantaloupe on the coffee table in front of her. She picked up a piece of cantaloupe and ate it.
Sitting on another sofa next to her was the current mistress of the house.
After a few days of contact, Lin Ran also discovered that this family was actually pretty good.
Of course, the premise is that you don’t want a house.
"Ms. Lin, when do you plan to return to the United States?" the hostess asked, pretending to be casual, while turning on the TV.
Lin Ran smiled, put down the finished piece of honeydew melon rind in his hand, and said, "I have already booked a flight for tomorrow and am planning to fly to the United States tomorrow afternoon. Please take care of me during this period."
The hostess quickly waved her hand and said: "What's the trouble? It's not troublesome at all, it's all as it should be. And why did you leave so early, Miss Lin? You've only been in China for a few days, do you want to go shopping again? There is an old saying in ancient times about the cities around the Magic City: there is heaven above, and there are Suzhou and Hangzhou below. The scenery in Suzhou and Hangzhou is very good. "
Lin Ran shook his head and said with a smile: "I have also visited many places during this period. It was really good to go to Suzhou Gardens. I haven't gone to Hangzhou yet, but I have to wait until next time. If I have the opportunity to come to China again, Then go to Hangzhou and have a look, haha.”
When the two people were talking, singing suddenly came from the TV. Lin Ran was slightly startled, and turned to look at the TV. What was being broadcast on the TV was CCTV3. Lin Ran looked carefully and found that it was not on the TV. No matter what program or TV series is broadcast, it is simply advertising time.
She couldn't help but wonder, do domestic TV stations now play music during commercial breaks?
"Yangtze River, Great Wall, Huangshan Mountain, Yellow River,
It weighs a thousand pounds in my heart.
Whenever, wherever,
As dear to my heart. "
Listening to this song played by CCTV 3 on TV, for some reason, Lin Ran always felt emotions surge in her heart.
She didn't have deep feelings for China like her grandfather, but this song seemed to break into her heart, and Lin Ran was a little confused for a moment.
She turned to look at the hostess next to her and asked, "Aunt Wang, what's the name of this song?"
"Well", the hostess was also stunned, shook her head and said, "I don't know what the name of this song is either."
She could just use the remote control to dial up the channels on the TV now, and she didn't know the song on the TV, but it sounded really good.
Lin Ran nodded, took out his phone and opened the mobile browser he had just downloaded during this period. He searched based on the lyrics he just heard and quickly found the name of the song.
"It turns out that the name of this song is 'My Chinese Heart'." Lin Ran said.
There was a video about "My Chinese Heart" in the browser. Lin Ran clicked on one and started watching it. The song sung in the video was the song she just heard on CCTV 3.
She listened to the song again through her mobile phone. She only listened to part of the song on TV just now, and now she listened to "My Chinese Heart" from beginning to end.
Lin Ran felt waves in her heart, and she didn't know why her eyes were moist.
Perhaps as the song goes, although she wears a dress and grew up in a foreign country, her roots are still in China.
At this moment, Lin Ran suddenly understood his grandfather and his great-grandfather's obsession with China, which he still remembered until he was about to pass away.
She thought for a while, downloaded the video that was playing on her phone, and saved it to her phone, preparing to show it to her grandfather when she returned to the United States.
Lin Ran had an idea in her mind that maybe this song was her biggest gain during her trip to China, and her grandfather would definitely like this song.
After downloading the video, Lin Ran spoke to the hostess Aunt Wang, got up and left the living room, heading towards the room where he lived during this time.
After returning to the room, she dug out the video she had just downloaded and listened to it. The more she listened, the more her blood boiled. After a slight hesitation, she opened Twitter on her phone and uploaded the video "My Chinese Heart" to on Twitter.
Twitter, like Weibo, is a social platform, but Twitter has a wider scope. People from all over the world can use Twitter, and its coverage is global.
Twitter is equivalent to the international version of Weibo. They originally focused on the sharing and dissemination of short real-time messages.
What surprised Lin Ran was that after she uploaded the video of "My Chinese Heart" to Twitter, it immediately had some influence on Twitter.
She has also posted video updates on Twitter before, but there were very few comments. That is, a few friends she knew would comment on her, and usually no more than five.
After she uploaded the video of singing "My Chinese Heart", the Twitter message received more than 30 comments in just ten minutes.
"Wow, this song is so nice! Thank you blogger."
"Hahaha, I just listened to this song in the Chinatown discussion forum. This song has become really popular in the past two days. It is being played in many places."
"To be honest, I really cried when I heard it. There has never been a song that has penetrated into my heart as completely as this song "My Chinese Heart". Maybe this is related to the song I just immigrated to France less than three or four years ago. Is it related to time?”
"This song sounds good. It is not as fashionable as the music here in Europe, with various punk mechanical styles, but it sounds very moving. I saw that the singer of this song shown in the video is A Yang, The lyrics and music are all written by Tan Yue. Does anyone know who Tan Yue is? It sounds amazing. Is he a star in China?
…

Lin Ran originally uploaded "My Chinese Heart" to Twitter with the attitude that he thought the song was good, but he didn't expect it to cause such a big response. Yes, fifty or sixty comments were a huge blow to Lin Ran. It is already a unique event.
And every few minutes, new comments will appear after refreshing. From the comments of some Twitter netizens, Lin Ran knew that this song has been discussed a lot in some larger topics.
Lin Ran found the place according to what some netizens said in the comment area. The Chinatown topic discussion area is a topic discussion group where a group of overseas Chinese gather.
After Lin Ran clicked into the discussion group, he was surprised to find a post at the top of the discussion group, which was about the song "My Chinese Heart".
And looking at the discussions below, there are already thousands of them.
The influence of this song in the Chinese community continues to grow.
Although Lin Ran rarely visits these discussion forums, she occasionally comes to take a look. She has never seen any Chinese song that is so popular.
Because in the international entertainment industry, there are very few Chinese people, and they basically play supporting roles.
It seems that the international entertainment industry has never welcomed Chinese artists.
The situation caused by the song "My Chinese Heart" is really rare. At least this is the first time Lin Ran has seen it.

Magic City, Qi Xue's home.
Qi Xue, who had just been sweating profusely on the treadmill, got off the treadmill, picked up the towel next to her and wiped the sweat on her forehead, drank another glass of warm water, then walked to the sofa and sat down, picked up her mobile phone and prepared to call her agent. .
Suddenly I saw the news that had just been pushed on the screen of my mobile phone.
The news title was about a song. Qi Xue was not interested at first, but when she saw the word Tan Yue behind the song, her eyes paused, opened her phone, and clicked on the news that had just been pushed.
