悼萧老师
网课上麻了之后的又一个平淡清晨，忽闻消息，内心即刻契合上了窗外的天气——阴沉、压抑、震惊、沉默、不相信。
一幕幕场景涌上心头。
半年前，萧老师还在教我们模仿回声；大半年前，我们齐声的“萧--老--师--好--”换来了萧老师含着笑的吐舌头；一年前，我们一起为萧老师拍纪录片电影……
在我的脑海里，萧老师永远是那个有着干练银发，精神抖擞，坐镇排练厅前门的那位“守门人”，我进演出班六年，他也没有什么变化，时间，似乎一丝也没有溜走。
当我慢慢平复下心情之时，才意识到这是合唱界又一位备受敬重的大儒驾鹤西去。
我想起他排练厅里的全情投入。比赛、演出之前，他总是坐在排练厅的桌前，沏上一杯咖啡，打开那个荧光黄色的文件夹，一页一页对着乐谱，拿着那一支“萝卜头”般的铅笔写写画画，扶一扶那副很显儒雅的黑框眼镜，一次一次侧耳倾听，指正、润色，一坐就将近一天。“我们把这个比作一个驾车的过程，你的油量该怎么分配？”“把强弱分为大中小，这里你们看看怎么对应，我啊，这会儿就考考你们聪不聪明？”一般这个时候，叶老师就会没好气的加上几句，“萧老师，叫那几个话最多的！”“你们学的奥数都用到哪儿去了？”萧老师每次都只用一个微笑来回应。
萧老师的讲解令人难忘。不止一次，在那块大黑板上画出人体的呼吸道，图文并茂地传授发声方法，“咽腔口腔，上边还有鼻腔，咱们怎么把声音送上去？”图片精致而简洁，文字讲解易懂而专业，一针见血指出问题，逮住一个音精益求精。西班牙比赛前夕的训练，那句“练不出来，咱们就死练，把我这句刻到这面墙上！”，我仍能记起他那坚定的眼神与严厉的声音。我们“不争气”，他也不发火，继续循循善诱，开发出全新的比喻，来诠释独到的见解。
下午五点半，我们作鸟兽散，他继续定在那里，又和叶老师、小林老师，详细地讲述着每一个乐句、每一个音符的要点。
直到演出之前的走台，他也不忘牵挂我们，坐镇实际意义上的“大后方”，不用话筒，中气十足地喊，“音量放到150%！”
我想起他在排练厅外的风趣平和。萧老师也是共同与我们享用麦当劳，喝冰可乐的那个好朋友。我们看到好吃的眼冒绿光，他也陪我们，静静地咀嚼着薯条。他陪我们，吃着“宽叔”们的蛋糕。在他眼里，音乐是一份热爱。依傍着整柜整柜的书籍，谱写出一首首乐曲。
他是那个在我独自等待时，突然拍拍我，递过来一瓶养乐多的那位爷爷。
他是那个可以独自撑着伞，在路口从容等待的老者。
他是那个在10周年团庆之后，马不停蹄向前规划的那位老师。
他更是那个孜孜以求，永不疲倦，奔跑在热爱道路上的学者。
……
早已想过该如何告别，但没有预见到，告别的日子来得这么快。萧老师在这个排练厅已经空置两月的时候离开了我们，但我相信，谨记这些技巧与方法，传承这种精益求精与风趣平和，继续珍惜在爱乐精神陪伴着我的每一天，以这种宽厚温和善待生活，可能就是寄托哀思的最好方式。
我还是无法想象排练厅那张桌前，无人坐定的场景；考核时，打分表由叶老师一人来填的场景。“用歌声追逐梦想，放飞希望。”，此刻，对您唯有感谢、感恩与缅怀。
亲爱的萧老师，希望您能在天国中，继续行走在您最爱的合唱之路上。

To Mr. Xiao,
They all say that the most arduous word to enunciate is of one that could potentially symbolize never seeing one again – “goodbye”.
When a fellow choir member informed me that you had passed away, I was in utter denial. I couldn’t believe it; I thought it was a ludicrous prank. The moment I realized it was true, I felt as if the world around me went silent. I waited until this piece of shocking news sank into me as waves of mournfulness and grief overwhelmed me.
My memories of being in the Shanghai Children’s Philharmonic Choir have started fainting and losing its colors, yet I would never forget my days of being one of your students. You would always be there, sitting at that little desk at the front of the classroom, patiently listening to our singing. Sometimes, it was conspicuous that you were not feeling well, but you still persisted on coming and supervising as we prepared for major performances. Every single time you came, everyone immediately sat right up. We all treated every class with you seriously because we knew your time was important, and we wanted to learn that passionate and tenacious mindset from you. Every time Miss Ye was done with us, she would look to you for affirmation. Whenever you nodded and demonstrated approval, all of us would beam, but if you pointed out any aspects of the piece that needed to be optimized, we would all listen and work hard to meet up with your standards. Although this was never mentioned, I trust that all of us would tell you that none of us found your teachings tedious, repetitive, or unnecessary. We knew that you would never cease to look for places that needed amelioration, which was one of the reasons why you were so respected and admired.
We all knew your age would increase year by year, but none of us would have ever expected for you to pass away. Every time you were at a rehearsal, we would always see you in good spirits; when dedicating yourself to the artistic works of music, you would never look exhausted. Your animated expressions and gestures during conducting often made people overlook your white hair. Sometimes you would even start joking with us as if you were one of us, a child, excited for our performances and choral singing. You were happy for every one of our successful performances, and you were never lenient when pointing out our flaws. You were a great teacher – one that was passionate, devoted, and inspiring.
From thousands of miles away and with Shanghai under lock-down, there is no way for me to return; nonetheless, trust me when I say that everyone who knew you would remember you and your contributions to music for years to come. We will remember you forever.
Farewell, Mr. Xiao. May you rest in peace.
