Chapter 368: If You Can Kill With Music, You Can Save People With Music

On the way back to the hotel, Xiao Wu was asked by the reporters and contestants how he had thought of composing a song for autistic patients.
Previously, when Xiao Wu had gone overseas with Ji Buwang, he had coincidentally met autistic children. From then on, Xiao Wu had started paying attention to them.
Xiao Wu felt that they were a little similar to him in the past, as they would not speak and they were always alone. However, they were a little different.
After Xiao Wu had noticed them, he had tried to talk to them, but it was useless.
When Xiao Wu had heard that the theme of this competition was warm and healing music, he had suddenly thought of them and asked Mu Jingzhe about autism. After learning about this condition, he had said that he wanted to play music for them.
Xiao Wu wasn’t sure if he could warm them up or heal them, but he wanted to talk to them using what he was best at—music.
When Mu Jingzhe and Ji Buwang had gone out, they had been constantly busy, not because of anything else, but because they’d wanted to see these children.
Xiao Wu’s music was a product of these interactions.
The next day, it seemed like the entire world was revolving around this topic. Many people also confirmed that it was true after testing the song.
They weren’t sure if it would improve the symptoms of autism, but it was enough that autistic patients could hear it. The news spread throughout the world.
The music festival and Ocean City reacted quickly. The radio station quickly broadcasted the news and played Xiao Wu’s song repeatedly, spreading it as far as possible.
This was because newspapers, television stations, and radio stations tried their best to report it everywhere. Even the symptoms of autism were widespread. Both those who had confirmed that their children had autism and those who weren’t sure but felt that it sounded similar after hearing the description couldn’t help but give it a try.
In the end, the evidence proved that it was really effective. Those who had already known about their autistic children’s condition were grateful. Those who hadn’t were also grateful. Many people didn’t have the money to have their autistic children’s symptoms diagnosed, and their children would be treated as fools and monsters. The people around them would always say nasty things, and there were even people who bullied their children.
Although being sick wasn’t much better than being a fool, at least they could make everyone shut up and stop calling their children fools. They were just sick.
Many of them weren’t sure about their children’s condition at first and only learned about it through Xiao Wu’s music. This also allowed their kids to receive treatment as soon as possible.
In short, through experimentation and professional doctors’ verifications, Xiao Wu’s music was indeed proved to be effective on autism. It really warmed the patients up and introduced music to their limited world, giving them more opportunities to communicate.
A professional doctor personally said that Xiao Wu’s music, coupled with treatment, might increase the possibility of a cure. It was very useful for treating the condition.
News of the situation in the country quickly spread overseas. The music competition was international to begin with, and there was already a lot of attention on it. At first, everyone was skeptical, but they tried to verify it.
As the news spread in the country, more and more people started to verify this. In the end, they realized that the music was really effective. There were also more and more reports overseas. Xiao Wu’s name was mentioned by more and more people. The public opinion on the song, which had been questioned initially, had been completely reversed. The song was truly spreading worldwide because there were autism cases everywhere.
Back then, the internet wasn’t as developed as in the modern ages. Many places had seen the news, but there were no audio sources. Everyone was asking Xiao Wu for the audio.
After this was discussed with Xiao Wu, they decided to provide this piece of music to the world for free.
This was decided after Xiao Wu and Mu Jingzhe discussed it. Anyway, Xiao Wu didn’t lack money now. Although he would definitely earn a lot by selling the copyright, this way, many people might not be able to hear it.
Xiao Wu couldn’t bear to do that. He had made the song so that people could hear it.
Xiao Wu’s actions once again moved people. Both the local and foreign media praised Xiao Wu’s actions. Xiao Wu had become completely famous and was now known as a ‘music doctor’.
The People’s Television Station and the Daily News specifically reported this, calling Xiao Wu the pride of the country.
In an instant, a trend also emerged and people all over the country started learning from Xiao Wu. Anyway, there were already kids like that in Great Eastern Village. Though this wasn’t something that could be learned just like that, there was indeed an increase in the number of people studying music.
The local reports were still considered reserved, but the foreign reports were much more straightforward. They even called him ‘Little Angel’ and other similar names. Xiao Wu felt shy when he read this.
They hadn’t expected the ‘Sound of Music’ International Music Competition to have such a big impact. Besides Xiao Wu, even the reputation and influence of ‘Sound of Music’ increased.
Initially, they had planned on holding the final in the competition’s origin country. Now, it seemed that the finals would be held in China.
Many musicians who hadn’t planned on participating in the competition or hadn’t intended to pay attention to it started watching it. Those who could compete even wanted to sign up, while those who couldn’t were also paying attention.
Many of these people were very capable and influential. In the end, they even held a new preliminary round in another country.
Mu Jingzhe and Xiao Wu had no objections to this. Mu Jingzhe had begun collecting newspaper articles that praised Xiao Wu as a hobby. Every time she read them, she would laugh out loud. She hated that she couldn’t keep all the newspapers and programs that praised Xiao Wu. It wasn’t possible for her to collect the radio station or television station reports, but she could collect the newspaper articles.
Mu Jingzhe carefully collected any newspapers that reported on Xiao Wu that she could buy. She was very happy to see Xiao Wu described as the pride of the country. “Xiao Wu, I’m proud of you too. I’m so proud of you.”
This was Xiao Wu’s ability. In his previous life, he had used music to kill people. In this life, he was able to use music to save people.
Mu Jingzhe even thought that it would be great if there were more people like Xiao Wu in the modern era.
Because of Xiao Wu, the final of the ‘Sound of Music’ International Music Competition was pushed back. During this period, Xiao Wu received many thank-you letters.
As Xiao Wu read these letters and saw that they were filled with gratitude, he felt greatly impacted. “Mommy, I didn’t expect that I could be of such use and receive so much gratitude. In the past, I only did it because I liked it, but now I’ve realized that it also has a great effect.”
After some thought during this period of time, an idea gradually formed in Xiao Wu’s mind. “Mommy, I want to continue doing this in the future. If possible, I want to produce more music to help more people.”
“Alright, I support you!” Mu Jingzhe supported him without hesitation.
Previously, Xiao Wu’s songs had been heart-piercing. Now, they were even better, as apart from autism, there was also a lot of invisible psychological pain in the world.
Never mind if the music could cure it. It was good to bring people warmth and happiness anyway.
A lot of psychological trauma was not understood by others, nor could it be treated. This was more troublesome and painful than a physical illness, as there was no medicine to take or any means to treat it.
Now that Xiao Wu had a goal, he asked Mu Jingzhe to learn more about it. Mu Jingzhe told Xiao Wu everything she knew from modern times.
