A few days ago, in Lianshang Town, Chenghai District, Shantou City, a "Chaozhou" style village party written and directed by villagers became popular. The English songs sung by a performer who called herself "Chaoshan Ru Aunt" revealed a strong Chaoshan style. The flavor has been nicknamed "sweet cake", "goose meat" and "raw pickled" by netizens. The song is magical and brainwashing. After the video was uploaded to the Internet, it immediately attracted the attention of the majority of netizens.
html Why is Li Deru, the "Aunt Ru" who is nearly sixty years old, so obsessed with singing English songs? What are the unique stories behind it? What makes her keep practicing singing? On May 17, a reporter from the Yangcheng Evening News came to the home of "Aunt Ru" to learn about her unique thoughts on her singing of English songs.Auntie Ru said that she liked foreign languages and songs when she was young, but she didn’t have time to practice when she was young. A few years ago, she heard a nice English song on the Internet and fell in love with it. “I first practiced singing the original songs at home, and then I hired a teacher to guide me.” Auntie Ru said that it took a lot of effort from learning to sing at the beginning to gradually mastering English pronunciation.
"When I learn English, I need to use the teacher's help to mark the 'local pronunciation' in Chaoshan dialect and Mandarin under the words, and then practice it step by step." Aunt Ru said, "I have been practicing slowly for more than two years, and now I have Mastered more than fifty English songs. "
When the songs sung in the village became popular on the Internet, many humorous comments followed - "I always thought that English was only available in bulk, but I didn't expect that there were also raw and pickled ones... ..." "This song seems to create a sense of picture for us. A bottle of Puning bean paste accidentally fell into the Mississippi River, the American people began to sell candied scallion pancakes on Wall Street, Teochew opera was sung in front of the White House, and at Harvard University Danced "English songs and dances"...
Regarding these comments, Aunt Ru also laughed off, "In fact, there were many objections at the beginning. Many people didn't understand why I sang English songs, but I just did what I liked regardless of the cost. Things, do things that make me happy. Ru Aunt said frankly, "I didn't expect that the songs I sang would be liked by so many people. I will keep singing." ”
