When you truly see the horrors of war, the impact is unparalleled.

Even though the battlefield here has been treated, and it is difficult to see corpses or dangerous guns and ammunition, you can still vaguely see the blood stains spattered on the walls, and you can smell the smell of gunpowder from the black muddy water flowing on the ground.

.

You can't see the tragedy.

But everything in front of me is tragedy.

There is more than one refugee camp in the suburbs of Damascus.

Amid ruined streets and dilapidated ruins, refugee camps are scattered all over the place, and everything is devastated.

The surrounding rubble was being cleared, infrastructure was being built, and Red Cross doctors were also preparing for emergency rescue.

Supplies were transported to rescue points one after another.

On Li Shaojie's side, several musicians had nothing to do for the time being, so they also helped carry some supplies.

After working for a while, the sweaty group of people returned to the tent to rest.

Sun Yichen seemed to be greatly shocked.

Or everyone, not just Sun Yichen, was shocked.

Live in a peaceful country and enjoy the beauty of music.

I have never even thought about what another world would be like.

But today, it's so close.

Received this strong contrast and stimulation, Sun Yichen worked so hard that even he didn't believe it.

"Okay, everyone, let's take a rest."

As a charity ambassador of UNESCO, Li Shaojie can be regarded as a talkative person in this small team.

"In two days, musical instruments will be delivered to the refugee camp. Everyone will still have to suffer by then. The infrastructure here is being built very quickly. When the refugees are brought in, it will be our turn to take the stage."

"I believe that everyone is deeply touched and wants to do more things, but I still want to say, just like leader Wu Jun said, we should do our own things well."

Several musicians looked up.

Suddenly, he noticed that there seemed to be light in Li Shaojie's eyes.

It is a kind of kindness and beauty that emerges from the fire of sin and war.

"We are artists, we can't do much, but we can make beautiful flowers bloom in the abyss of sin, and we can bring the light of hope in the darkness."

"We cannot control the war, treat the injured, or restore the situation. We may not be able to keep those who survive alive."

Li Shaojie paused.

It was as if a big stone was weighing on everyone's hearts.

Sometimes manpower is poor, which seems to be the most helpless thing in the world.

We all want to do a lot of things, but we can't do a lot of things.

"But, at least, we can allow those who are still alive to live with a smile instead of living with endless sorrow, scars, and resentment."

"Yes, at least these children need us."

Sun Yichen couldn't help but blurt out.

When he was a graduate student, Sun Yichen was also curious and researched on the marginal subjects of music.

Why were rituals and music the most important part in ancient times?

Why did the imperial court first promulgate a ritual and music system when a new dynasty was established in ancient times?

Because music is an abstract expression of emotion and has a very guiding and suggestive role.

The harmony and orderliness of life, the stability, unity and harmony of the nation, and the education of music all play a vital role.

Good music, kind music, and beautiful music can inspire conscience and express beautiful emotions.

Especially China.

Use the most upright pentatonic scale to explain nature, educate the people, and achieve great happiness and harmony with heaven and earth.

In early childhood education, the influence of music is also very important in building character.

The greatest harm that war does to survivors is psychologically.

Due to educational level, cultural differences, and even conceptual issues, hiring a psychiatrist for consultation is costly, inefficient, and very troublesome.

The success of the Venezuelan Music Relief Plan is inseparable from the intuitive experience of "goodness" and "beauty" brought by music.

This kind of abstract art spans time, space, language and text.

What is expressed are the common emotions of human beings themselves.

Throughout the ages, many philosophers, musicians, and thinkers at home and abroad have been studying the internal cultivation function of music.

Impact on morality and sentiment.

Therefore, Li Shaojie organized the group of musicians who came to assist early and exchanged some follow-up assistance methods.

"We are not here to take music theory lessons, nor are we here to just leave for a charity performance. It is our job to bring hope to the children. This is a huge project for refugee children in the entire XL Asia."

Li Shaojie said a number with difficulty.

"Six million!!"

"Yes, across XL Asia, there are nearly six million children in need of assistance. Their families are in difficulty, lack of supplies, and have left their homes. Among them, they have lost their parents and care, and their life difficulties are unimaginable."

Li Shaojie did not continue.

What is the concept of six million displaced children?

The total population of Qingdao, Shandong is only 8 million, and the population of Changsha, Hunan is only 7 million.

Among the six million tragedies, how many have lost the protection of all their relatives?

No one dares to think about it.

"What we have to do is rely on music to appease them."

After a pause, Li Shaojie continued.

"Then, when the instruments from the United Nations are delivered, let them use the instruments as toys. We will guide and encourage them to try playing some simple music on their own."

Gotta find something to do.

Able to relax, soothe trauma, and cultivate children’s own kindness

Doing so is undoubtedly the best choice.

After the explanation, Li Shaojie found Nabhan, the local official in charge of the rescue plan.

"Mr. Li, we currently don't have many Damascus roses available here."

"Well, if I can get as many as I can, I'll buy them."

Li Shaojie nodded.

"These are separate from the rescue plan and are considered my personal contribution."

"OK."

Nabhan agreed.

Immediately I smelled it with some curiosity.

"Mr. Li, with all due respect, it is not easy to buy Damascus roses during this period. What do you want these for?"

At first, Nabhan thought that Li Shaojie was going to give it to his young and beautiful wife.

But this amount is huge, and it definitely doesn’t seem like such a simple thing.

"Because the fragrance of Damascus rose is what the air of Damascus should smell like."

"Instead of this stench of gunpowder and blood."

Li Shaojie smiled.

"There should not be gunfire and blood here, but poetry, sunshine, and roses."

Li Shaojie's words made Nabhan almost shed tears for a moment.

The Damascus rose is the symbol of this city.

A very unique rose with a sweet and long-lasting fragrance that is hard to see anywhere else.

The light pink gradient color is both beautiful and charming, and even the ingredient that is the source of the unique aroma is called β-damascenone.

Fudge, jam, jelly, sauce seasoning, or soaked in mineral water, olive oil, alcohol, or used as a raw material for perfume, this aroma is a symbol of the beauty of the past for Damascus people.

“The kids will love it.”

Nabhan took a deep breath.

"Then thank you Mr. Li!!"
