[Episode 39]

Okay.

Today, let's practice—

Master, as the leader of Team RS

I can tell you with confidence

that we won't disappoint you, will we?

That's right!

It's good as long as you don't disappoint me.

The doctor said that we must pay attention to his health these few days.

Okay, I will pay attention some more.

If this is his last performance

then I won't let him have regrets.

Standing here makes me feel at ease the most.

Today we are going to rehearse Mendelssohn's Piano Duet.

The doctor told you not can't stay in a high decibel area

You must pay attention to the time when practicing with Team RS.

You can't be like before and practice for hours.

My dear, Yu Mian, didn't we already settled on it?

I will take the medicine on time and you'll support my performance.

I remember.

I also have a request that you must listen to the doctor.

Why do I have to listen to the doctor? Those doctors are alarmist.

I only listen to you.

There's something that

I have never been able to do this lifetime.

Once the performance ends,

I must complete it.

What is it?

When you were young, you liked to travel the world.

What? You haven't traveled enough?

To me, this world is no longer that important to me.

I drank too much coffee in this lifetime.

However, I'm always missing the tea that you brew for me.

Yu Mian,

I want to be together with you,

travel the world and bicker with each other.

This is true happiness.

Do you regret?

I have wasted my days without you.

but from now on,

for the rest of my life,

I hope to have you every moment.

You are being a gib.

I will keep you company but you must listen to me.

After you finish the performance, go and do the surgery.

Okay. I will listen to you.

[Mario Paci Conservatory of Music]

What is going on?

That's right! What is this?

How can this be?

[Fisher Farewell Performance]

- Le Qing, you've worked hard. - You're welcome.

- Thank you, Dad Qin. - You're welcome.

- Make us some more next time. - Okay.

Say, Master Fei's farewell performance is held at our school.

Does this count as one of Paci's most glorious moments?

That's right! When the tickets just started selling, more than half of them were sold.

Where recitals are held and how many tickets are sold,

is this a problem that we should be considering?

Don't you think it's tacky?

We're looking at the quality of the performance and the duo who are the pianists.

Who is it? It's Li Zhenyan and Fang Xiaowo, right?

Do you understand what I mean? They're my students.

A'Zhang, you meticulously counted everything onto yourself.

Li Zhenyan and Fang Xiaowo were once my students.

I gave them to you.

Mr. Meng, Mr. Meng. You make a judgement.

With his bad abilities, will he be able to teach them?

I haven't said anything yet. Why are you two interrupting?

The students from Team RS are my disciples.

That's right! We're also your students.

You taught us how to speak and be a person right, Teacher Zhang?

A'Meng, did you see? You taught us.

It's this... when you slap.

Learn well!

But this is so weird.

Master Fei is in his golden years, why will he disappear after saying so?

I also think it's weird.

- Dad Qin. - Dad Qin!

Let me ask something. Is there something wrong with Master Fei's health?

This... Principal Lin knows this the most.

Don't say it but Principal Lin was so pretty back then.

-With Master Fei, I think they really matched. - Don't we have a meeting?

I almost forgot.

- That year, Principal Lin. You guys— - If you didn't remind me,

- I would've forgot— - I haven't finished talking yet.

What's wrong with Master? We didn't match up in a lot of places.

The pacing was obviously different but he didn't say anything.

Master Fei keeps hearing less these days.

Perhaps he didn't hear anything just then and I was just conducting based on experience.

Why did you guys stop?

Why did you guys... stop?

Master Fei, I did the wrong pacing just then.

What did you say?

I said I did the wrong pacing just then so we might need to do it again. I'm sorry.

Master, I already went in late by one beat. I'm sorry!

Let's do it again then.

Where do we start, Master?

- Master! - What is it?

Where do we start?

Let's start all over.

We're performing in three days. Can he perform like this?

He will definitely perform.

But the problem right now is

just that this is Fei She'er final performance so there can't be any mistakes.

Zhenyan, you're also a conductor.

I believe that you will have a way to solve it.

I know! You guys might have to work hard these past few days.

After we officially begin practicing, I will add extra practice time.

and after we have done that then we'll listen to Master's arrangements.

Xiaowo, you performance today was very good.

You just have to maintain that attitude and it will be fine. Don't worry!

There's no rush. Step by step, you can do it.

Master Fei's health is much worse than we thought it was.

That's true! But you don't need to worry. Don't you still have me?

How can I not worry?

This is the most important performance of his life.

And it's also Orchestra RS's formal debut performance.

So many people will be watching, what will we do?

True! That really is a difficult question.

But, it's okay! If we say from the onset that this performance won't be perfect,

then we can do all we can to make it more perfect.

I understand. I'll put all my effort into it.

You haven't taken this necklace off since I bought it for you, have you?

It's my protective charm.

Before, I always thought that I had no self-confidence.

Then, after I had this, I've felt very safe.

It's the same as if you're beside me.

So, I won't ever take it off.

Xiaowo, you know something? In the middle of a circle, it's solid.

But in a ring, the center is empty.

I remember that when I saw it, I wanted to buy it for you.

That's because I thought you and this ring were alike.

There's is a lot of possibilities in the future to send your talent out

and let everyone see your radiance.

But, letting more and more people see my radiance...

could there be more and more people

who think my performance isn't good?

Finding fault with me?

Fang Xiaowo, the person I know you to be

a person who loves music, loves the piano, and loves life.

I love the sound of your music and I love you even more.

Because, the way I see it, you are unique.

So, you shouldn't lack self-confidence and you don't need to be afraid.

You're the best!

I know.

Zhenyan, I think

the speed for the entire performance of the piano you just played was a little too slow.

I want the method to be the same as at that at the end, more even.

You and Xiaowo particular need to pay attention to this.

I don't see it that way.

First, I want to say that this piano piece is a concerto.

It's not a solo.

It's overall mission is to support the whole orchestra and support the conductor.

Moreover, here I'm just assisting Master Fei in accomplishing his intentions.

These intentions include the piano.

It's better if I think about the strategy. I'm going.

[Music Hall]

Go back and rest.

When did you get here? Why didn't I hear you?

I'll practice a little more.

I want to feel the vibrations of the strings.

That way, if I can't hear when the time comes,

I'll still be able to keep the tempo. Sit for a bit!

You're just the same as before, a perfectionist.

A perfectionist...

At best, a method when there's no better method.

Yu Mian.

This afternoon's rehearsal... wasn't it a big mess?

Not like that.

As a well-known conductor,

how can I have a problem with my ears?

You're worried that this next performance could be a failure.

A failed performance... compared to the end of life is inconsequential, ridiculous.

I don't care about that at all.

What I'm afraid of

is whether I can do a good job of

bidding goodbye to music, the stage, and the audience behind me.

Si Xing, your life is far from drawing its last chapter.

So, you must never... never say good bye to the things you love the most.

Let them live in your heart.

You don't need to use your ears;

use this instead.

That way, you can hear it at all times.

Did you and Teacher argue again?

We didn't argue.

We had a calm discussion about a problem.

After so many years, I can't believe that his temperament hasn't changed at all.

He always wants to control others.

I even thought since you two were living together that you'd reconciled.

Reconciled? That's impossible.

At best you can say, I don't hate him as much.

Being estranged for so many years, it can't be quickly eliminated.

Estrangement... what's that?

Then, have you two ever discussed things?

There are some things that you can't use words to express clearly.

But, he's not good at expressing himself, either.

Do you know? When I was little and didn't play the piano well,

he'd just yell at me.

However, if I played well, he wouldn't say a thing.

At most, he'd nod his head.

Then, he'd play the piano with me.

It was like I'd could feel what they call ' a loving father' is.

Now, when I think about it, the only thing we used to communicate... was only the piano.

Piano?

From what I understood, the doctor is saying

Master Fei's complete hearing loss can occur repeatedly?

Then, will that affect his normal life?

Of course! Moreover, this illness can not only occur over and over,

his fainting could occur again and again.

Then that is truly terrible.

This way, his performance... could be even more difficult.

Could this performance not go smoothly then?

Teacher, if Master Fei's ears can't hear,

how will he be able to conduct when the time comes?

Perhaps right now I should say that as long as you have music in your heart,

then, naturally you can conduct.

But the reality is quite cruel.

In Master Fei's current condition,

I can't guarantee that his performance will go smoothly.

But, Xiaowo, let's all continue to do our best to help Master Fei.

You want to ask me about the issues with Li Zhenyan, isn't that right?

Actually, I think your relationship appeared to have gotten a little better.

But it seems that recently it hasn't been good.

Actually, he really wanted to get closer to you.

He really wants to forgive you.

But... he can't.

There are always a lot of contradictory feelings.

Yes. When Zhenyan was little, he really wanted to become a famous conductor.

But I told him that in order to become a famous conductor, he must learn to play the piano well.

But he was too young to grasp that concept at the time.

I could only tell him to temporarily put away the matter of being a conductor.

Put it away, and think about it later and just study the piano for the time being.

At the time, I was being a little selfish.

Actually, I hoped that his dream of being a conductor would fade away little by little.

Focus on the piano; fall in love with the piano.

But, dreams... can't be forced or changed by someone else.

That's true! Afterwards, I realized that.

However, it was too late.

Teacher, you should personally say these things to him.

I don't know.

[Farewell Performance]

[Reluntant to let go]

[Head and body movements]

[Fisher Farewell Performance]

Senior Brother, you're back! Aren't you at the Europe orchestra?

How can I miss out on Master Fei's farewell performance?

Ever since we graduated until now, we haven't met in so long.

How are you doing right now?

My job is alright.

To be honest, I really envy you.

You have had the fate to take care of you and to materialize your dream.

- You can do what you like. - You can, too.

Me?

I don't have that fate.

Do you know what fate is?

It's right that fate should be strive by themselves

but no one will care about our process.

Once you choose, you can't regret.

That's right! We can't regret.

I know! It seems

to be easier to give up then to choose one's fate.

However, if you give up your own dream,

then that's something very painful.

Hence, He Shangliang, don't think so much.

Be persistent on what you want! I support you.

Senior Brother, you've changed a lot, too.

You would not console me like that in the past.

- Caiwei is also here. - Caiwei, I like you so much.

The former coloratura soprano is now a popular singer.

I listen to all your songs.

- I heard her songs and it's really not bad. - Let's take a photo. You're so pretty.

Caiwei, you're so skinny and pretty.

Your song was sung so well.

- Thank you. - These two are mines.

Caiwei, let's take a photo.

I haven't seen you in a long time. What are you busy with recently?

I'm as usual. I keep practicing the piano.

Thanks to this recital, I'm able to rest for a bit.

It's not easy for you.

Let's go inside together.

No, I'm going to go look for them first. Let's go!

- Don't push, okay? - I want to do it with Old Fei first.

- Let's take a photo together. - Uncle, let's take a photo together.

- Come on! - You're blocking me.

Come on. One, two three.

Done! Come on. Next one.

- Next one. I'll take it for you. - Let's take one together.

Three, two, one.

It's so nice to be young.

Dreams are so great.

Director Gu, I didn't think you were also interested in classical music.

Oh right! I heard you invested in Team RS.

I didn't expect that I and these youngsters would be together.

- It's quite nice. - Let's go!

Xiaowo, what happened?

My stomach really hurts.

Your stomach hurts?

- What do I do? - How come your stomach is hurting during this time?

- Fang Xiaowo. - Are you too nervous?

- Are you fine? - My stomach hurts.

Were you not fine earlier? Did you eat something bad?

I think I ate too much.

Are you too nervous?

We're about to perform.

I'm sorry to Master Fei.

This... what do we do?

My stomach hurts. What do I do?

How about this? You do it.

Me? I haven't even practice with you guys. How do I do it?

Aren't you a master in piano? Do you even need to practice?

It's about to start. Why isn't Master Li here yet?

He said that he's going to visit Fang Xiaowo first.

Don't be nervous or else you'll make a lot of unnecessary mistakes.

You should be the one who is nervous. We haven't even matched up.

- You got this. - You got this.

Why does it become the dad and son performing? Where is Fang Xiaowo?

I finally have to admit that I'm old and get ready to retire.

Xiaowo, thinking about when we just met

you were still a silly girl.

And now, you have become a shining star on the international stage.

I'm really proud of you.

The rare sincerity that can be found in you.

There's a really strong power.

I hope you can protect it forever.

Be a diligent pianist.

Also remember,

my name is Fei She'er not Fisher.

During this time at Mario Paci Conservatory of Music was perhaps

the most comfortable time of my life.

Being crazy, causing a ruckus, and improving with you guys.

These memories are enough.

Tian Yisong, if you only have winning and losing in your heart, then it will be blinded.

So be relaxed and believe in yourself.

Xiao Yin, believe in yourself and be more relaxed.

Let everything be in the music.

Use your power to perform and be happy.

As for Qin Fen and Qing Shang,

you both, one is careless, the other is always looking for perfection

You hit and fought with each other but ended up being together.

Under each other's encouragement and influence, you've found your direction in music.

Having someone you like to do things you like with you,

it is a rare thing in life.

You, little children,

it's time to activate your young souls.

Li Zhenyan, seeing how you and your dad perform with chemistry,

I think I finally fulfilled what I wanted.

You finally overcame yourself and stood on the stage that you dreamed of.

Sweetness comes after bitterness.

Release all the quietness from within you

a little bit more spirited and intense.

Let your soul be in the music.

Children, thank you guys!

Your growth

is the most amazing performance in my lifetime.
