In the ever-flowing river of life, we are all swimmers, propelled forward by various forces. For many, especially the younger generation navigating the fast-paced digital age, BGM (Background Music) has become an indispensable companion. It is the emotional backdrop for work, the rhythmic pulse for exercise, and the intimate confidant for solitary moments. This ubiquitous presence of BGM, an acronym repeated like a mantra—BGM, BGM, BGM—weaves itself silently into the fabric of our daily existence, shaping moods and memories. However, amidst this modern symphony, there exists another, often overlooked, rhythm—the rhythm of life embodied by those who have witnessed the passage of time. Today, we turn our attention to a special individual, whom we may refer to as Old Man XX. He represents not just a person, but a symbol of an era, a custodian of memories that are gradually fading in the clamor of contemporary life. His world might seem distant from the digital playlists and streaming services that define today's BGM culture, yet within him lies a profound and moving life melody. Old Man XX could be anyone: the silent chess player in the community park, the skilled artisan in a vanishing workshop, or a grandfather who hums an old, unfamiliar tune at home. His life lacks the consciously selected, high-quality playlists of the internet era. His BGM is the natural soundtrack of his surroundings—the morning chorus of birds outside the window, the rhythmic clatter of a weaving loom, the sizzle of vegetables in a wok, or the faint, crackling sound from an old radio. These sounds constitute his world's background score, steady, deep, and rich with the texture of time. Interestingly, when we explore deeper, we find that Old Man XX himself is a creator and bearer of a unique "BGM." His stories, his craftsmanship, even his slow and deliberate pace, are like a profound and serene musical piece. This "music" lacks modern electronic embellishment but overflows with the weight of history and the warmth of humanity. For the younger generation immersed in the fast tempo of BGM, BGM, BGM, listening to Old Man XX's "composition" requires patience and a calm heart. It is an education in history and a baptism of sensibilities. We often discuss how BGM influences emotions and efficiency, yet neglect how the "BGM" of a life like Old Man XX's shapes character and conveys values. His persistence, composure, and dedication to craftsmanship are the most valuable legacies in an era of information explosion and rapidly shifting trends. This spiritual "BGM" possesses a power that transcends time, capable of resonating deep within anyone who truly listens. Therefore, while enjoying the convenience and pleasure brought by modern BGM, let us also learn to appreciate the classical and profound "movement" represented by Old Man XX. Perhaps, we can attempt to blend these two types of "BGM." Imagine designing a playlist that incorporates elements of traditional craftsmanship or using modern audio technology to preserve and disseminate the life stories of individuals like Old Man XX. This is not merely a tribute to the past but an investment in the richness of our cultural future. In closing, whether it is the constantly refreshing digital BGM, BGM, BGM or the enduring life melody of Old Man XX, both are indispensable notes in the symphony of our era. They represent different dimensions of time and spirit. Learning to listen, to understand, and to integrate is perhaps the way we, in this age filled with diverse sounds, can compose a more harmonious and complete movement of life. When the electronic beats meet the echoes of history, and when the hurried pace pauses for a moment of classic tranquility, our souls find a more substantial solace and a clearer direction forward.
