Xu Zhiyi was silent for a moment, then said, "The piano is an invention from Italy, a foreign novelty. Our annual event here is always about singing and skits, it's long lost its freshness.
Ning Xia's piano performance is a first in our history. I've heard she's planning to play some foreign popular song. You're just singing a song, won't she outshine you?"
Nianyang's lips curled up, "The piano is indeed a new gadget, but we're at the pier here, it's not some talent TV show.
The participants of the annual event are sailors who've been overseas for peace, song is our own essence, singing well can evoke a stronger sense of homesickness among everyone."
To put it bluntly, the people watching the annual event are all rough guys, most of them are not highly educated, who could appreciate such elegant piano music?
