Poet Ge Xiaoqiang and writers Su Laosan and Tong Jun have all appeared on the "Fall in Love" reading program hosted by Xiaoxue, so when I got the recommendation, I only hesitated for a moment, and Su Laosan dispelled my concerns. She didn't talk nonsense, only a word of encouragement, but it gave me reassurance. I really like how she speaks and acts straight to the point, simple and straightforward, which is exactly the opposite of her elaborate narrative style.
actually talked about his reading and writing experience in the live broadcast room, which was somewhat shameless. How many books can I read in total? My increasingly poor memory makes it almost the same as not reading a book. As for writing, have I written a few more fluent articles? To brag in front of everyone, to put it mildly is to be confident, but to put it badly, it is simply shameless.
I arrived at the lobby on the first floor of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau fifteen minutes earlier than the time agreed with Xiaoxue. The doorman asked me to sit down, and I thanked him politely, still standing in front of the huge glass door and window.
When I first started working, it was popular to change careers and not become a teacher. Some of my classmates go to government agencies, some to companies, and some to newspapers and TV stations. Back then, this building was the dream workplace for many of our classmates. Now, some of them are working as government officials, some were laid off from companies and then came back to work as teachers. It is extremely rare to find a job in a newspaper or TV station.
Huge photos of TV hosts hang high on the walls and columns of the hall. Some photos have faded due to constant exposure to the sun. I am ashamed that I have not had a TV set at home for many years, and I have not watched TV programs in this city for many years. Radio programs can be heard in taxis. The large glass windows are covered with dust, as if to say that it is no longer as shiny as it once was.
Xiaoxue, who arrived on time, had shoulder-length hair, clear eyes, and looked youthful in a denim jumpsuit. She took me in the elevator to the fourteenth floor and started introducing the program along the way. Outside the live broadcast room of
is the director's station. There is a young girl answering the hotline. It turns out that she is the director. From the broadcast room, I could see inside the live broadcast room, and I saw a host in a white suit sitting upright inside. The director answered a call from Aunt Li, who sang a Tibetan song. While Aunt Li was singing, Uncle Zhang called the hotline again. The director said sorry, the show was almost over and there was no time to sing.
I was sitting on a bench listening to music, and found that Aunt Li’s singing was not out of tune and was very nice. There are too many talented people in this world. In the ethereal singing of
, I saw a floor tile broken at my feet. The cracks were like the roots of a plant, and I didn’t know where to extend.
and Xiaoxue were discussing which work to read, and I thought to myself, how thick-skinned do you have to be to read it aloud? But I immediately comforted myself. There must not be many people entering the live broadcast room to watch the show, and it would be awkward if no one saw it.
entered the live broadcast room, and the director first took photos of Xiaoxue and me. She was really good at it and didn't highlight the wrinkles on my face.
When I was a child, it was popular for beauties with square faces, thick eyebrows and big eyes to be beautiful. A face like a full moon and a face like a silver basin were considered beautiful. I am always pitied by adults because of my small face. Why is this child so ugly? Nowadays, slaps in the face are popular, and I am getting old. Anyway, I just haven’t caught up with both ends, and I will be miserable for the rest of my life. That’s why I don’t particularly like taking pictures, so it’s rare for me to take a shameless photo and keep it here.
Xiaoxue is really a genius host. Making a show is easy and smooth, it's natural and there's no need for a script at all. She is also particularly good at capturing the soul of a conversation, igniting the sparks of your thoughts, fulfilling you, making you successful, and brightening the world. The professional audio of
radio station is also really good. In the headset, I heard that my voice seemed to have been put on makeup. It was no longer hoarse or shrill. It was like a clear spring, led by Xiaoxue, flowing out naturally, stirring up white waves along the way. Captured by the wonderful scenery, it is full of the dual pleasure of polar exploration and reaching the other side.
I read an essay "When I meet the mountains, it gives me wings; when I meet the water, it builds a colorful bridge." I didn't feel that I was being artificial when I was writing, but I discovered the problem when I read it.The words don't convey the meaning, the words are difficult to pronounce, and the logic is not strict enough... It's not about being humble, you really need to be thick-skinned enough to complete the reading. Hahaha, I did it!
I also told Xiaoxue about the city map and reading station, saying that they bring the greatest happiness to people living in this city. I also said that everyone can write, because compositions are written in the second and third grade of elementary school, and compositions are also required for college entrance examinations. The eternal theme of human beings is love, love for family, love for career, love for life... Anyway, the more we talk, the more excited we become, and we simply can't stop the brakes. Fortunately, the program time is limited, otherwise my thoughts would go to Abu Dhabi and I would not be able to get back.
I thanked Xiaoxue, left the Radio, Film and Television Bureau, and walked back slowly alone. There was no replay of the show, so I had enough fun so I wouldn’t have to be embarrassed again, and at the same time I prayed that no acquaintance would watch the live broadcast.
Unexpectedly, teacher Zhang Cheng from the Writers Association sent a message that night, praising the program. He is already thick-skinned enough, so there is no need to push for an inch, so I won’t spoil the specific praise and award speech given to me here, but his praise for Teacher Xiaoxue’s eloquence was exactly what I wanted. Why is it called Teacher Xiaoxue? Because she is also a teacher in the children's eloquence class. I really want to ask Xiaoxue if she would accept an old student like me?
