Last night, their family had a rare dinner discussion, and Ji Shaojun knew that Bai Lian had studied the guzheng at the Bai family for a year.
Now that they have returned to Xiangcheng, they couldn’t let their child miss out on learning the guzheng.
Bai Lian was memorizing vocabulary on the side, multitasking and listening in. She didn’t expect that today, only the second day, Ji Shaorong had already made arrangements.
Ji Heng had heard that he found the best teacher in Xiangcheng and had specially sent the video to Ji Shaorong.
“Mr. Ji,” Teacher Yue looked steadily at Ji Shaojun, “The guzheng is a collision between emotions and the soul. Its existence is not to show off to people, not to pander for attention; it’s the cleanest, most pure form. Those who come to learn the guzheng with a utilitarian mindset will never be able to reach the pinnacle. I’m sorry, I don’t want to listen.”
He had no intention of listening.
He walked right past Ren Wanxuan, who was stunned, and left.
“Teacher Yue, I respect your views, but I don’t agree,” Bai Lian said slowly as she turned around.
She didn’t defend her decade-plus years of guzheng study, nor did she explain why she didn’t understand the different schools of guzheng; she just made eye contact with him, “The development history of the guzheng spans thousands of years; inheritance and promotion are the most important aspects. But the world is diverse, and this is the charm of civilization and heritage. While we like the guzheng, we can also like many other things. People need to eat, have you truly understood them by setting aside all your own perspectives? Why deny them?”
Teacher Yue paused in his steps, looked indifferently at Bai Lian, “A successful artist should marginalize themselves, and esteem for art should be their initial aspiration. Life is a form of cultivation. Let me tell you this, you will never succeed.”
He had come today with hopeful expectations but left in disappointment.
He didn’t have the luxury to expect a student as talented and devoted to guzheng as Master Jian’s pupils.
He merely wanted a student with a bit of spirit and willingness to work hard.
Not one tainted with utilitarian motives, who lost their original intention, or even touched the guzheng only a few times.
Xiangcheng had produced many renowned guzheng masters since ancient times, and Teacher Yue was one of the well-known ones.
Even Ren Wanxuan had heard of him.
Ren Wanxuan had come to find out which master teacher Ji Shaorong and Ren Jiawei had found for Bai Lian, and upon learning it was Teacher Yue, Ren Wanxuan could not help but feel a pang of jealousy.
