"Grandpa, he was the champion of the professional division of the Dragon Violin Cup."
Gan Yanyu paused for a moment and said softly.
"Ah?"
"With Grandpa's background, he could have had many more opportunities to participate in the Ker Cup, but for the recognition of Zhonghua's classical music, he chose the identity of the Dragon Violin Cup professional division champion."
At this point, a touch of tenderness and a smile flickered in Gan Yanyu's eyes.
As if, she felt proud to have such a grandfather.
"....."
I would be proud too.
I can imagine.
Sixteen years ago, hailed as the number one Zhonghua cellist, Sir Gan in his fifties.

Savoring everyone's adoration and respect, amidst endless flowers and applause, until retirement...
But, for some kind of obsession with music in his heart, he still went.
