Cosplay, what a fascinating thing. A cultural phenomenon, of the younglings. Sprung up i guess in 2000s in Japan. Then spread to USA. In Asia, it has a cult of its own. “2D”, anime. In USA, closest analogous is gamers.

權御天下 (Sun Quan The Emperor)

This is the song in the comicon.

曲目：陌上寸草
词曲：贾盛强
演唱：贾盛强

　晚南山花开
　篱笆青苔
　年年漫山春花开
　离离原上草
　柳絮飞飘
　年年陌上生寸草
　我终于等到春来了
　春来了 草儿绿
　我终于等到花开了
　花开了 花儿红
　如花美眷
　似水流年
　赏心事落谁家院
　姹紫嫣红开遍
　断井颓垣
　空我心念一念
　我终于等到春来了
　春来了 草儿绿
　我终于等到花开了
　花开了 花儿红
　如花美眷
　似水流年

Scene About Quiting

our shining days 2017 quitting 82160

你不想学扬琴了
你说了不算
为什么
因为是它指引你来到世上的
陪伴了你11年
这是你跟它前世今生的缘分
现在你不想要它了
但是它对你也有感情
你跟它商量一下吧
如果它同意你不用跟妈讲
妈没意见

English translation:

you can say you want to quit learning yangqin,
but it's not up to you
why
it guided you to this world
you've been together for 11 years
you are destined to be together
you may not want it
but you are all its got
talk to your yangqin
if it agrees, then that's it
i won't object

A good mom (and dad), makes a world of difference. It creates good or bad people.
