最近，Tiktok上的一个视频火了。

故事的主角是一位居住在英国的意大利小哥Giorgio Lo Porto。他发现自己的新邻居经常在弹奏钢琴，他被琴声打动，开始给自己的邻居留言交流。

在给邻居的留言中，他表达了自己对于邻居琴声的喜爱，还“点起了歌”：希望能听邻居演奏一曲《我心永恒》(My Heart Will Go On)。

没想到，第二天邻居真的为他演奏了这首曲子，而这也成了两人珍贵友谊的开始。

One of the main characters of this story is Giorgio Lo Porto, an Italian living in the UK and making TikTok videos. On January 31st, Giorgio posted a video of him listening to his neighbor playing the piano and it seemed that he was really enjoying the concert.

Then, on February 6th, he posted a follow-up video saying that the day before, he had left a note to his neighbor letting them know that he loved their playing and asking if they could play “My Heart Will Go On.” The neighbor’s answer was clear as we can hear them playing in the background.

很快Giorgio 小哥再次给邻居留言交流。在两人一来一回的留言中，同样会弹钢琴的Giorgio小哥鼓起勇气，邀请邻居与自己隔空合奏：“我一停下来，你就开始”(and I said as soon as I stop, you start)。

Giorgio小哥先是紧张地弹了一小段《你的心河》(River Flows In You)，没想到邻居真的隔空回应了他，两人就这样第一次来了一场隔空合奏。这段合奏被Giorgio发布在了海外版抖音Tik Tok上，观看量目前已经突破了170万！

在第一次合奏之后，这对素未谋面的邻居形成了一种默契：每周末都会一起隔空合奏。对于“神秘的钢琴家”邻居，Giorgio也感到好奇不已。

一天，Giorgio小哥终于和他这位邻居见面了。原来邻居是一位名叫Emil的老爷爷，他的妻子不幸被新冠夺去了生命，而这里也只是老爷爷的临时住所，在卖掉房子之后，老爷爷便会搬走了。

如今Emil爷爷只剩下钢琴陪伴着他，但他依然会在下午2点的时候弹钢琴，因为妻子很喜欢他的琴声。

One day Giorgio finally met his neighbor and it was a 78-year-old widower who lost his wife due to Covid and the apartment in which he was staying was a temporary accommodation until he would sell his house. The only consolation left to Emil was his piano. The reason he was playing at 2 pm and also duetting at that time with Giorgio was because his wife loved it when he played.

在失去挚爱这段孤独又痛苦的岁月里，和Giorgio的隔空合奏，给了Emil爷爷很大的鼓舞和力量，而Giorgio小哥也表示，在爷爷需要搬家之前，周末会一直和他隔空演奏下去。

Emil was grateful to Giorgio for keeping him motivated and making him feel less lonely. It is really sad that Emil had to lose his wife like this, especially when we all are feeling lonely as it is. That is why Giorgio promised Emil to play with him on the weekends until he sold his house and needed to move.

爷爷的故事深深打动了Giorgio小哥，他还专门为老爷爷作了一首曲子《Dear Emil》。“相隔一堵墙，两架钢琴，两人彼此都不知道对面的演奏者是谁。但这些都没关系。你也会成为某人黑暗之中的光。”(Two pianos between a wall. Not knowing who was playing. But it didn’t matter. You can be the light to somebody else’s darkness.)

在Emil爷爷搬走之后，Giorgio继续独自弹着钢琴，然而就在最近，小哥收到了Emil爷爷去世的消息。在Tik Tok上，Giorgio发了这样一段话来怀念Emil爷爷。

“Dear Emil, I knew very little about you, but you changed my life. You gave me back my passion and we shared that with the world. You’ll be in my heart. I’ll keep playing, thinking of how powerful music can be. You said I was your light, but you’ve been mine too. Bye Emil.”

“亲爱的Emil，我对你知之甚少，但你改变了我的人生。你让我重拾热爱，并一同与世界分享。你会一直在我的心里。我会继续弹奏下去，感受音乐巨大的力量。你说我是你的光，而你也是我的光。再见了，Emil。”

如今，Emil老爷爷应该终于和他深爱的妻子团聚了吧。
