TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS

Chapter 367 - Xiao Wu Wins First Place

Other than Xiao Wu, there was no shortage of outstanding contestants in China. However, because they had limited competition experience, they were too nervous to get on stage and this affected their performance, thus becoming average.

Therefore, most likely, no domestic contestant could enter the top ten. All of them will be eliminated and they will not have a chance to enter the final.

It's heartbreaking. Initially, they had the advantage, as the preliminary round was held in their country. They were supposed to use their advantage, but they ended up like this instead.

Everyone was disappointed and sad, but they still had to hear the results. There was also a performance today, but Xiao Wu did not go up on stage this time. After the show ended, the most excruciating moment arrived.

Ranking is announced starting from tenth place. There is no controversy about it, but the sad thing is that there really are no domestic contestants.

The higher the rank, the more despair they all felt. By the time fourth place was announced, everyone knew that they had actually been annihilated this time around.

Everyone was no longer in the mood to watch the hosts announce the top three of the preliminary round.

First, third place was announced. There is no dispute about this. Second place was announced. This time, the result was unexpected, as the runner-up was Conan.

According to everyone, Conan's performance this time was stunning and spectacular. No contestant is better than him. If nothing goes wrong, he should be the first. However, it was announced that he was second.

Everyone was shocked, and so was Conan. Being in second place is usually a good thing, because even though it is only in second place, it is something that many people cannot achieve. However, Conan's face turned as cold as it had just been obliterated.

Although Conan smiled as he ascended to receive the award, his smile was brief and his acceptance speech was not long.

He just wanted to know who got first place!

Everyone guessed who it was. As they all nervously anticipated the outcome, the host finally began to announce who had won the first prize.

“The winner is.. Shao Zhong.”.

When the host finished announcing the name, it was silent for a moment. Everyone frowned. Shao Zhong's? How is that possible?

While everyone was wondering, the host laughed. “I know everyone was surprised, but it is true that our Xiao Wu, Shao Zhong, won first place.”

Xiao Wu's nickname was already famous, but at that moment, no one cared about Xiao Wu's nickname. The host even excitedly invited Xiao Wu onto the stage so that the guest presenter could give her an award. Meanwhile, discussions and doubts under the stage flourished.

Conan, who got second place, could not help but stand up and ask directly why Xiao Wu won. He refused to accept it and felt that Xiao Wu did not deserve it.

If it wasn't for the fact that there were judges from all over the country there, Conan would have said that the judge was corrupt.

When Conan stood up, he acted a little rashly. After all, when she signed up for the competition, she was told that the jury's judgment was an irreversible decision. The contestants must respect the judges' unconditional judgment.

This was also why he obediently rose to receive the award when he got second place earlier. However, even though he might be a little unwilling to accept it if another outstanding person were to obtain first place, he would only think of defeating them in the actual final.

Things were different now because the person in question was Xiao Wu. In Conan's eyes, Xiao Wu was already a loser who was knocked out in the preliminary round. How could he deserve to be first?

"I need a credible explanation."

The host took a deep breath. “When we listen to Shao Zhong's music, we don't feel it's warm or healing because the music doesn't target ordinary people but autistic individuals. The healing warmth of his music is only effective for autism.”

As soon as the host finished speaking, the crowd fell silent for a moment before they started discussing this. "Thank you?"

Some people ask about autism, while others discuss whether this is true or not. Afraid the contestants would not understand, the host explained in several different languages and briefly introduced autism. Although the host seemed very ordinary, he came to be the host of this show because he was proficient in many languages.

Conan, who knows a lot about autism, loses his composure and asks, "Is it really effective for autism?"

"That's right. The judges have verified it. ” Host justifies it.

After Xiao Wu's appearance, everyone saw the judges discussing amongst themselves. They thought it was because he wasn't performing well. However, they did not know that the jury had discussed whether this song was really for autistic patients. Is it really effective in autistic patients?

When Xiao Wu's song had been submitted, the origin and story of the song had been described in detail. The target audience has also been determined.

After the jury finished reading and hearing the song, they did not dare to confirm it at first. Then, they personally confirmed it before announcing the score.

The preliminary round had ended in surprise and surprise, but this was only the beginning.

Everyone who listens to the radio or watches a television broadcast then starts to discuss and pay attention to autism.

Compared to many people in the modern era who know that autism is different, this is the first time many people hear of autism in this era.

But autism is getting more attention. It is also a major topic that everyone has started talking about recently as more and more autistic children.

Previously, people did not know much about this disease. However, research on autism has entered a new stage now. Everyone began to abandon the hypothesis that the disease was caused by so-called 'improper parenting methods' and they explored the causes of autism in biology, which completely separates autism from schizophrenia in terms of clinical diagnosis.

This is an improvement, but there is no specific medicine to treat this disease. Early diagnosis and intervention can improve outcomes. There are also some concrete and effective methods, but there are still many difficulties.

No one expected Xiao Wu to target children with autism. The biggest characteristics of autistic children are awkward social interactions, communication disorders, narrow interests, and inflexible behavior. In the eyes of outsiders, they were immersed in their own world and rarely played with other children. They often play by themselves and do not listen to their teachers or parents, as if they cannot even hear them.

However, Xiao Wu's music was effective on them. It did not cure them, but as long as they heard Xiao Wu's music, it seemed to be able to get them out of their world and listen seriously.

In fact, if their emotions were unstable, they could calm down after hearing it. If someone takes the opportunity to communicate with them while the music is playing, it will allow some autistic children to temporarily hear what their parents are saying to them.

Music therapy has also been discussed repeatedly. It is still uncertain how effective it is in autism, but this is undoubtedly a viable path.

Jurors have also tried to play other contestants' music to autistic children, but songs that feel warm to ordinary people have little effect on them. They don't like it or react at all.

They only heard Xiao Wu's song, which meant it was effective. They would listen quietly, and some of them would even smile, as if the song had a warm healing effect on them.

Given this result, how could they not give him first place?
