Chapter 56 (2/2)

More followed. The granddaughter of a famous sanxian artist, Ji Lao, also shared the same Weibo:

“My grandma wants me to ask sister @XiangYiV: are you interested in leaving the entertainment industry? Come teach at our school. ~The compensation will be very good heh~”

The netizens on the frontlines digesting the gossip began to check the information.

The folk music academy under the name of Ji Lao was small in scale, but it was one of the most desirable colleges for domestic folk music students.

The netizens all took a deep breath.

Then, an erhu performer also posted a Weibo hinting at a job offer: [Little Miss, it seems to me your sanxian is good enough. How about learning the erhu with me?]

The netizens took another deep breath.

A certain suona** master also posted in light spirits: [Why not learn the suona with me? You can blow it from the full moon to the first seventh quarter. You’ll never be afraid of unemployment again.]

The netizens: F*ck, they were laughing in anger.

Then the official blog of the Chinese National Music Association forwarded a Weibo with their stamp of approval. [The young girl is promising, and there is hope in passing on the tradition. Today, the young generation of China shines with pride like the rising sun!]

It was not an exaggeration to say the whole folk music industry was shaken up by this remark!

Netizens: ….???!!!!

Could it be that we had misunderstood the Vase Fairy?

Did she really choose to enter the entertainment industry like a person from the national sports team who volunteers to visit the countryside and help the poor?

Thousands of words later, there was only one final concluding statement—

F*ck. What a badass!

Translator’s Note:

*The Chinese word for turtle dove is Ban Jiu, which just happens to be the same character as Ban Hui’s last name, Ban. Hence, his Weibo handle is a pun on his real name.

**Suona is another traditional Chinese instrument, similar to a very high pitched horn.
