“Now let’s see what this listener friend wrote.” When Yu Dong opened the envelope, she found a 100 dollar bill along with the letter.
Yu Dong became a little embarrassed. “It seems that we’ll have to be little indulgent today. This is a love letter written by Frank from France, to a Chinese girl who he has a crush on. The letter says that they’ve been pen pals for more than 10 years. To pursue his beloved girl, Frank applied to a university in China and is now studying Chinese in a language school.”
“Frank tried to translate his letter using Baidu but I can approximate his words and can see his intentions.” Yu Dong continues, “But I’d like to remind this foreign friend, our radio station doesn’t accept money, so next time you don’t need to shove a 100 dollar bill with your letters.”
As Yu Dong continues to speak, her computer started to display messages from other listeners.
“It seems that our foreign friend knows some Chinese customs, our red envelopes seems to be famous abroad, ah! This host has just quickly skimmed through the love letter, and don’t they say all French men are romantic? It seems to be true!”
As usual, Yu Dong ignored the messages flooding in and continued with a teasing tone: “Tomorrow I’ll help you donate this money to the Red Cross. Thank you for donating your help to the children.”
“Now let’s read the letter. It’s a love poem. It’s from Paul Ellujah, a future famous French poet, and it called: ‘I have no wish but to love you.’ ”
Je n’ai envie que de t’aimer
Je n’ai envie que de t’aimer
Un orage emplit la vallée
Un poisson la rivière
Je t’ai faite à la taille de ma solitude.
Le monde entier pour se cacher
Des jours des nuits pour se comprendre
Pour ne plus rien voir dans tes yeux
Que ce que je pense de toi
Et d’un monde à ton image
Et des jours et des nuits réglés par tes paupières
I have no other desire than to love you
A storm filled the valley
A fish filled the river
I made you as big as my loneliness
The whole world makes us hide
Day and night so that we can understand each other
In order not to see anything else in your eyes
To only see my image of you
To only see the world in your image
And the days and nights your eyes control
Before her rebirth Yu Dong, there had been a time in her life where she had been obsessed with French movies. She learned some French but wasn’t very good at it, only learning proper pronunciation.
So Yu Dong was able to read the poem naturally, and ended up shocking everyone who had been listening to Midnight Phantom. Even if they didn’t understand the meaning of the poem, they were sucked in by Yu Dong’s hypnotizing voice.
When Yu Dong started reading out the Chinese version of the poem, the computer blew up again with many messages popping up.
“The host is so OP, she can actually read French!”
” How many languages do radio hosts have to understand nowadays? ”
“What a beautiful voice!”
“The love poem is so beautiful, I also want to have a secret lover!”
Yu Dong smiled after reading the messages and said, “Frank’s girl if you’re listening in, you should’ve received the full extent of his love. Such a lovely boy shouldn’t be dismissed so easily, ah!”
……
“Today’s program seemed to have been centered around love. As we’re nearing the end of tonight’s show, Fish Jelly suddenly thought of a phrase.” Yu Dong said.
