feihong Posted August 12, 2019 at 01:10 PM Report Posted August 12, 2019 at 01:10 PM Blind masseuse Hong Shanxue sings a song about himself. The song doesn’t contain many details about his personal circumstances, instead it’s more of an inspirational song (励志歌). Highlights of the lyrics include when he compares being blind to living in a house where the windows can’t be opened, and when he fantasizes about a higher power opening those windows. And yes, this is a performance from the short-lived Chinese version of American Idol. This is part of the Grand Chinese Lyrics Project. Chinese title: 大雪子爱春天 Artist: 洪善雪 Listen: https://youtu.be/EPw_yDhYq_o Type of lyrics: Monologue Genre: Folk Difficulty: Medium. Grammar is relatively simple, but there are a few semi-rare words (攥, 麟, 惆怅) and a couple of chengyu. Lyrics 那一年的冬天 他来到这世界 窗外飘着白雪 一场鹅毛大雪 他看不到窗外的一切 但深爱着这个世界 他看不到花的颜色 但热爱春天 有时也幻想 苍天会打开那扇窗 有时也惆怅 在那些无眠的晚上 走在漫长人生路上 总是难免跌跌撞撞 心中对未来的渴望 总是给他无尽的力量 哪怕跌倒在这路上 哪怕已经遍体鳞伤 紧紧攥着最初的梦想 迎着狂风奔向远方 奔向远方 1 Quote
