Beethoven Reborn - Episode 147
Beethoven Reborn Episode 147
33. Chopin International Piano Competition(6)
It's so boring.
I said it was a necessary study, but all I could hear was stories I couldn't understand, and I felt like my head was going to explode..
I thought studying music might be fun, but the stories about music in middle school textbooks turned out to be boring at all..
‘This is what kids study?’
I really feel sorry for the kids these days.
“Then I'll take a break for a while..”
After forcing myself to concentrate, the fourth lecture ended..
“You seem tired..”
“I have prepared for the concert and am thinking of a song..”
8After Tokyo Recital in March.
Although the concert schedule has been completed and I am now just going back and forth between school and home, the fatigue that has accumulated over the years has not been easily relieved..
Playing the piano with Chae-eun was my only mental rest, but even that was not something that could relieve my physical fatigue..
The tutor sighed and said.
“I think it would be a good idea to tell the chairman and take a break for a few days..”
I'd like to, but it's true that I, who had short backpack straps even in the 19th century, become impatient when it comes to studying modern times..
“Master, you are still young..”
“I know.”
I am acutely aware of this and am controlling it on my own, but it seems I can't help but worry about those around me..
I once collapsed in the United States, so it's not unreasonable for my grandfather, parents, and people at Saetbyul Entertainment to be worried about me..
The same goes for the tutor my grandfather instructed me to..
To be honest, I said I wanted to rest..
“great. I'll tell the president after class today. We spend the remaining time just talking. Do you have any questions??”
I'm curious.
This person, who graduated from Korean University, seemed quite knowledgeable, but there was nothing worth asking about..
“ no.”
“then… … Let me tell you why you should study. It'll be pretty fun.”
I was going to college, but it seemed like I wanted to talk about something else, so I quietly waited for the tutor to speak..
“Do you remember learning about Minamata disease in social studies class??”
“yes.”
“It was a disaster caused by the ignorance of people in the past who did not know about the harmful effects of mercury and lead, and by capitalists who knew about it but did not even have the slightest moral sense..”
They said it was a funny story, but they are also liars..
“Do you know that Beethoven, whom you loved so much, also died of lead poisoning??”
“•…”yes?”
“I think you're a little more interested now..”
I couldn't help but wonder whether it was interesting or not..
I died from lead poisoning.
“It is relatively recent, and as a result of collecting and analyzing hair from Beethoven's body, it is said that lead poisoning is the most likely cause of death..”
“I've never eaten lead.”
“It may not be in your body now, but there will be a little bit. Even modern people have no choice but to accumulate a little bit of it in their bodies. We're talking about Beethoven, so please pay attention..”
I have nothing to say.
“It is said that Beethoven enjoyed drinking wine. It is said that he was quite a drinker, and at that time in Europe, people drank wine with sweetener..”
It tasted really good.
Even if I denied John's hundred things, I could still understand that he liked wine..
“Lead acetate in that sweetener. That means it contained lead..”
The moment I heard those words, it felt like someone hit me hard in the back of the head..
“In fact, most people in Europe at the time were exposed to a lot of lead. Meanwhile, it got worse due to my habit of frequently drinking wine containing lead. Beethoven, who drank a lot, is said to have suffered from jaundice, which is one of the symptoms caused by a deteriorating liver..”
“Some say that the stomach is full of ascites, but many people think it is probably cirrhosis of the liver. The liver cirrhosis treatment also contained lead..”
“It's a shame that it all happened because of ignorance. It is said that mercury was also used for skin care, but in the end, you applied poison to your body..”
“how is it. I don't think studying is such a pointless thing.?”
“If you are poisoned by lead... … What are the symptoms??”
“I'm not a doctor, so I don't know for sure. Let's find it together?”
nodded.
The tutor turned on the computer in her room and searched the Internet about the symptoms of lead poisoning..
When I read it, I really thought.
really.
Is it true that my ignorant actions led to my destruction?.
Can you ever feel more keenly than this that being stupid can be a sin?.
“This won't happen now?”
“no.”
I was once again surprised by those words..
“Although there are very few deaths from lead poisoning anymore, lead poisoning itself has not disappeared. Even now, young children have these symptoms..”
“Moreover, developing countries and war zones still do not receive the benefits of civilization. Of course, there are poor people in our country too..”
I thought I was reborn in a bright future, but.
I was really lucky, born into good circumstances..
“Even now, many children in Africa are starving. I'm living my life drinking muddy water. If Mr. Jeon passes the high school qualification exam, he will go there and do relief work. Receive aid or teach children so that they no longer have to live without hope. that's my dream.”
great idea.
I also want to help someone so that they will never again be ignorant like me and lead to their own destruction..
While thinking that, I was about to turn off my computer when Choi Ji-hoon's name came up in the real-time search term on the portal site..
I wanted to know something, so I clicked and articles poured out..
【Jihoon Choi faints! T Electronics CEO Choi Woo-cheol's misguided love for his children］
【Choi Ji-hoon's schedule was no different from child abuse.】
【A burden borne by a genius. The reason why an 11-year-old child worked until he collapsed?]
Damn it.
I immediately asked my grandfather and headed to Italy..
It wasn't until I arrived at the door of the hospital room where he was hospitalized that I took a deep breath..
Because I can't just go into the room where the patient is..
♩♪♫♬♩♪♫♬
‘ It's a folk song.’
Inside the hospital room, there was the sound of a melodeon playing old German folk songs..
I think in Korea the lyrics were about butterflies..
I opened the door carefully..
Jihoon Choi was lying on the bed playing the melodeon and a middle-aged man was watching with a smile..
“uh? what? how did you get here?”
“How did you come here? You were surprised.”
The middle-aged man turned his head.
“You are Dobbin. I heard a lot from Jihoon..”
“It's my father.”
Even before entering the hospital room, I had planned to punch Choi Ji-hoon's father in the face if I saw him..
When I saw the father and son together, those feelings disappeared completely..
I don't know what happened, but it's clear that some of the resentment from the past has been washed away..
“hello.”
As I approached, Choi Ji-hoon patted the blanket, telling me to sit on the bed..
“I came because you were worried about me.?”
“Then why don't you do it?.”
“Hee hee hee.”
“You two are talking. I'll go out for a while and come back.”
“yes.”
After the man named Choi Woo-cheol left, Choi Ji-hoon was still shaking and asked..
“I came alone?”
“No way. My grandfather's employee came with me..”
“How much can there be??”
“I don't know, man. What happened?”
“I don't really remember, but I'm saying it's because I'm tired. I'm fine now. ah! Do you want to go to the theater in Milan? Because I’m being discharged tomorrow!”
“Just rest. But there won't be a fuss because of the reporters who went there..”
“Why do reporters?”
Choi Ji-hoon's face suddenly hardened when he took out his cell phone and showed it to him..
“My father is not this kind of person.”
“Then get some rest and wake up and tell me.”
Seeing this guy so angry made me feel a little relieved..
“actually… … The filming was also delayed for a week because of me. They say that the longer it takes to film a movie, the more money it costs. I'm sorry so what should I do……
“That's not what the kid worries about..”
“You're a kid too. One year younger than me.”
“Hehehe. Still, I’m glad you came. Actually, my father had to go back to Korea tomorrow, so he had to stay at home even after he was discharged..”
My son is in this situation and he is coming back..
What a great person..
“I wonder if my father will stop working.”
“uh?”
“You've had a really hard time, but I think I'm doing really well. They say you don’t even drink anymore!”
“He said he wanted to stay together from now on. It's been so long since I saw my father like that, it feels like a dream..”
I knew it.
Even if a child imitates an old man, the role of a parent is very important..
I don't know the details, but I thought it was a good thing for Choi Ji-hoon..
“And actually, after playing for a few days, it was so comfortable and nice..”
“okay. Since I'm here, I need to get some rest. Why don't we stay here until October and then go straight to Warsaw??”
“Is that so??”
“Is there anything bad about it? Italy is good for relaxation.”
“I've been there before?”
“briefly in the past.”
like that.
I told a story that stayed up all night..
【T Electronics CEO Choi Woo-cheol suddenly resigns! “A more capable CEO will join T Electronics..”]
【Jihoon Choi. Dismissing the controversy over CEO Woo-cheol Choi's child abuse. “I love my father more than anything in the world..”】
【Choi Ji-hoon and Bae Do-bin are on vacation in Ital-i LA until October.】
【Differing perspectives on the two geniuses, “They are relaxed vs. They need to rest.””]
Tropia Beach sandy beach.
Two boys are talking while building a sand castle.
“By the way, you should save money now. There was half a drink left, but you threw it away. So let's buy just one and share it..”
“uh? why?”
“Your father quit his job. You shouldn't just use it like before. Since ancient times, people have to be careful when saving money..”
“My father said that even if I stop working, my grandchildren won't have to worry about money.?”
“……This is why rich people.”
“Your maternal grandfather is much richer..”
After hearing that.
I came to respect my grandfather a little more..
