1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

Chapter 204: Did you sing this? It touched the hearts of the soldiers (Please subscribe to the full version)
When Political Commissar Lao Hu heard that Cheng Xuemin was going to go on stage to sing the new song he wrote, his face was shocked.

Under the propaganda of the old leader!
Cheng Xuemin, Li Shuanggang, Ge You, Gong Di and their team have already gathered at the stage, all with puzzled faces. Just now, Cheng Xuemin was called over by the old leader and what did he say?

Now, Political Commissar Lao Hu had notified everyone to gather at the performance stage, and Li Shuanggang and the others were even more surprised and confused.

Similarly, Political Commissar Lao Hu looked directly at Cheng Xuemin and asked, "Xuemin, you can write songs and music? Why haven't I seen you write or sing before?"

Then he added, "Do you have lyrics and music? Let me see!"

You can sing the new songs you write in private or in a small circle, it doesn’t matter. But now you are going to sing them directly on the front line!

This is not possible!

At the very least, as the political commissar responsible for this southern consolation performance, Lao Hu had to conduct a certain review of the lyrics and songs first, to make sure there were no other sensitive areas.

It must be reviewed first, and any sensitive parts must be corrected in time before going on stage to perform.

"Political Commissar, I just arrived here too. I was touched by the heroic deeds of the soldiers and wrote this song. I really have never written a song or composed music before!"

Cheng Xuemin smiled shyly and followed up by saying, “Yes, yes, Political Commissar, I have written some lyrics here, but I haven’t composed the music yet, and I don’t know how to compose it!”

"How about I sing it for everyone first, and could you please help me with the music, Old Li?"

This song is also a tribute to Cheng Xuemin, but he only wrote the lyrics and did not compose the music, so it does not appear to be too comprehensive.

Anyway, they have the singer Li Shuanggang in their team, so no matter how Cheng Xuemin hums, Li will definitely be able to write the music for him immediately.

"Xuemin, you can actually write songs?" Li Shuanggang was dumbfounded when he was called out. How come all his work was taken away by this avant-garde writer?

He nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, Xuemin, you sing first, and I will help you compose the music!"

"Old Cheng, when will you learn to write songs?"

Ge You next to him was also horrified and asked without thinking. Yan Weiwen also looked at Cheng Xuemin in surprise.

As for the two female comrades, Gong Yu and Han Qiaoyue, the look they gave Cheng Xuemin was one of astonishment and shock.

"Xuemin, your lyrics are so well written. You should sing them first!"

Political Commissar Lao Hu took the lyrics handed over by Cheng Xuemin, examined them at a glance and found no sensitive parts. He then said "OK" and urged Cheng Xuemin to sing it a cappella first.

He was also very curious about how to sing the lyrics and how to compose the music.

"Shuangkang, compose the music for Xuemin!" Then he handed the lyrics to Li Shuangkang next to him and instructed.

"Maybe I'll never come back after I say goodbye, do you understand? Do you understand?"

"Maybe I will fall and never get up again, will you still wait forever?
"If this is the case, don't be sad, we are on the flag of the Republic..."

……

Li Shuanggang read the lyrics of the song, and before he could wonder how to compose and sing it, Cheng Xuemin had already started singing it a cappella.

"Uh?"

Li Shuanggang looked up at Cheng Xuemin in shock, but without making any sound of exclamation, he quickly began to compose the music according to Cheng Xuemin's singing.

"Uh?"

When the others heard Cheng Xuemin's singing, they all looked at him in surprise and horror, and listened to Cheng Xuemin's singing quietly.

After singing the song, Cheng Xuemin's heart was filled with passion and was inspired by the song.

He also didn't expect that this theme song of "The Garland under the Mountain", which had not been sung for many years, would still be so inspiring and exciting when it was sung again today.

really!

Red songs never get old. Whenever you hear red songs with familiar melodies, you can't help but hum along and inspire your heart.

"Political Commissar, Lao Li, what do you think?" After Cheng Xuemin finished singing, he looked at Political Commissar Lao Hu and Li Shuanggang and asked.

"Good!" Lao Hu only had one word in mind: good.

Li Shuanggang's face was still horrified and he hadn't reacted yet. He subconsciously said, "Xuemin, can you sing it again? There are some parts I didn't include!"

Because Cheng Xuemin sang so well, Li Shuanggang couldn't help but get excited and hummed along. He indeed forgot his main work and even forgot to compose the music for one or two sentences.

"Ok!"

Cheng Xuemin nodded, and then began to sing again: "Maybe I will never come back after saying goodbye..."

The other two female comrades, Gong Xi and Han Qiaoyue, couldn't help but hum along with Cheng Xuemin. Even though they had only heard Cheng Xuemin singing once, they were really devoted and could follow along.

"How is it?" Cheng Xue asked again after he finished singing.

"Old Hu, you can quickly take it to the comrades in the music band to familiarize themselves with it. I have already prepared the score for Xuemin!"

"It's so well written! And so well sung! It really touched the hearts of us soldiers!"

Li Shuanggang shouted excitedly. He didn't expect that Cheng Xuemin, an author, could have such profound attainments in songs.

Then he asked quickly, "Xuemin, you really have never written a song before? Is this really your first time writing a song?"

"Really? Old Hu, why don't we just recruit Xuemin directly from the General Political Department?"

"He can write scripts, compose songs, and even sing a cappella very well. His voice is also very good. Comrade, why don't you want such a talent?"

Political Commissar Lao Hu glanced at Cheng Xuemin and said anxiously, "I will report this to the old head of the band later. Now I will send the music sheet to the band, and you should all familiarize yourself with the song as soon as possible!"

After saying that, he rushed over and went to deliver the lyrics and compose the music with other comrades in the music team of the condolence delegation.

When Cheng Xuemin goes on stage later, it will be impossible for him to really go on stage and sing with a microphone!

They didn't have a ready-made music band when they went south to give condolences this time.

In addition to the music band, the visiting delegation also brought the General Political Department's own photography team, in order to take pictures of all of these and bring them back as the most precious images from the front line to preserve and archive.

As for directly accepting this talented comrade, Programming Xuemin?

Old Hu was indeed very tempted, but he would have to wait and see. After returning to Kunming, he would mention this matter to the old team leader.

Since the higher-ups sent Cheng Xuemin, the pioneer, to their General Political Department, and discovered that this pioneer was so amazing in the field of literature and art.

That didn't say anything!

They will definitely try every possible means to keep this good comrade in their General Political Department.

"Old Li! He's not as good as you say!" Cheng Xuemin also glanced at Li Shuanggang. Even though they were on the front line, Old Li still didn't forget to help their General Political Department recruit people. Cheng Xuemin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Xuemin, don't be so modest, your song is really well written! It will definitely spread all over the country!"

Li Shuanggang also praised generously.

"Thank you! Thank you Teacher Li!" Cheng Xuemin simply nodded and said thank you to Li Shuanggang without being modest.

Just as Li Shuanggang said, this theme song of "The Garland under the Mountain" really spread all over the country as soon as it was released, and it was really popular all over the country.

Anyway, when Cheng Xuemin was in primary school, this song was almost a must-learn. It was also a must-play in almost all subsequent war memorial performances. The content of the song is exactly about the current war, and it praises the heroic soldiers who fought in this war.

Therefore, this also won unanimous praise from Political Commissar Lao Hu and Li Shuanggang, which is normal!
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Xuemin also said to the two female comrades Gong Yu and Han Qiaoyue: "Gong Yu, squad leader Han, there will be a male and female chorus in the second half. Who will go up with me later?"

"Xuemin, Gong Xi will go with you!"

Upon hearing that there would be a male and female chorus part later, Gong Yu and Han Qiaoyue were both surprised. They were also eager to try and go on stage to sing with Cheng Xuemin.

They are all from the General Political Department Art Troupe, so there is definitely no question of who is stage fright or not.

Both female comrades were eager to try, but in the end, Han Qiaoyue, as the squad leader, chose to give way to Gong Di.

"That's fine! Then Gong Xi and Xuemin will go up and sing a song together first, and Xiao Han will have a chance later!"

As the team leader, Li Shuanggang made the decision directly without any hesitation.

and!

This new song written by Cheng Xuemin will definitely be performed in their art troupe's consolation performances in the future, and there will be plenty of opportunities for these songs to be covered on stage later.

of course!

This time, Cheng Xuemin's new song premiere was of great significance. Moreover, it was held at a mobilization meeting for thousands of soldiers. It was bound to be recorded by the photography team of the General Political Department's consolation delegation and sent to the Wenshan front line for recording and playback, to Kunming for recording and playback, and to Yanjing for recording and playback...

"That's enough, Xuemin!"

"The Maotai liquor that the old commander prepared for the soldiers has arrived. He has already told them that after listening to your farewell song and drinking the Maotai liquor, the soldiers may come up!"

Not long after, Political Commissar Lao Hu came back and told Cheng Xuemin that everything was ready and they could go on stage to express their congratulations and sing.

"Don't be nervous, just treat it as a normal a cappella performance, just like before!"

Old Hu also did not forget to comfort Cheng Xuemin, knowing that this was the first time that Cheng Xuemin had truly stepped onto the stage to sing with the soldiers since he went south from Yanjing to express his condolences.

After all, Cheng Xuemin was a wartime writer before, and Lao Hu had never thought of forcing an author to become a singer and sing on stage to express his consolation.

But what about today?

This pioneering author's words are not surprising. Not only did he write a new song inspired by his own feelings, but now he is going to go on stage in person to sing for the soldiers going to the battlefield.

The courage, spirit and morale are commendable!

"come on!"

"come on!"

"Come on, old Cheng Gong!"

Cheng Xuemin nodded to Lao Hu, greeted Gong Xi, and then went on stage with the microphone.

Li Shuanggang, Yan Weiwen, Ge You and Han Qiaoyue were all cheering them on.

When they saw Cheng Xuemin and the other man go up on the stage, the soldiers below the stage had already finished their farewell meals and were all gathered and standing on the open space in the playground below the stage.

The old commander poured Maotai liquor, which the soldiers had never drunk before, for each soldier. He looked at Cheng Xuemin on the stage in front and shouted to the soldiers: "Comrades, the person who is coming up to the stage to give us a consolation performance, you may not know who he is yet!"

"He is Comrade Cheng Xuemin, the pioneer of reform and opening up reported in the newspapers. On behalf of the old leaders, he came south to visit our front line to give the most sincere and respectful condolences to the comrades!"

"Moreover, after Comrade Cheng Xuemin arrived here, he wrote a new song overnight and wanted to sing it for the comrades!"

The old commander roared in a sonorous voice from the audience, filled the soldiers' cups with Maotai liquor, and shouted: "Comrades, drink this farewell wine, I will bid you farewell and look forward to your triumphant return!!"

"Dry!"

The old leader walked to the front again, holding up the wine bowl, and after a roar, he and the soldiers finished the wine in the bowl.

"Dry!"

"Dry!"

"Dry!"

The soldiers below the stage held up their wine bowls with both hands, shouted "Cheers" in unison, and then drank the wine in their bowls in unison.

Then he threw the wine bowl in his hand angrily and shouted: "Moutai, it tastes good!"

"Okay, I'll wait for the triumphant return of my comrades. I'll prepare more Moutai liquor and wait for the triumphant return of my comrades!"

At the same time!

Cheng Xuemin also began to sing the theme song of "The Garland under the Mountain" on the stage.

"Maybe I'll never come back after I say goodbye, do you understand? Do you understand?"

"Maybe I will fall and never get up again, will you still wait forever?
"If this is the case, don't be sad, we are on the flag of the Republic..."

……

On the stage, Cheng Xuemin was singing, and he was also the one who could best see the heroic and indignant moods of the soldiers below the stage!

Accompanied by the singing of Cheng Xuemin and Gong Qi, the soldiers resolutely embarked on their journey, disappeared into the night as night fell, and charged forward into the darkness.

The old leaders and the others also watched the soldiers leave, and they all prayed for a triumph, triumph, triumph, and that they would all come back alive!

The entire camp was doomed to be sleepless that night, as they were all eagerly awaiting the battle situation on the front line.

The sound of gunfire and artillery fire suddenly rang out on the battlefield of Koulin Mountain ahead, and it lasted for a long, long time.

It was not until dawn that the sound of gunfire and artillery fire on the front line gradually became less frequent!
"Bite it!"

"The battle report from the front line has been received! The toughest bone to chew on the front has been chewed by the bravest soldiers of our army!"

The members of the condolence delegation also did not sleep all night, and they all gathered together waiting for good news from the front line.

At the same time, during the long wait, Cheng Xuemin's theme song "The Wreath under the Mountain" was also learned by other members of the condolence team!

suddenly!

Political Commissar Lao Hu rushed into the camp and reported the good news to all the soldiers of the visiting team present.

Lao Hu had just received the battle report from his old leader, and also received a victory report over the phone from the front line.

"Victory! Victory! We won!"

Upon hearing Lao Hu's victory report, female comrades including Li Guyi, Dong Wenhua, Han Qiaoyue, and Gong Di couldn't help but jump up and cheer!
Others including Yan Weiwen and Ge You also cheered and shouted!

Although Cheng Xuemin's face was filled with joy, he also knew how much it cost to chew this toughest bone.
Last night, the sound of gunfire and artillery fire lasted the entire night.

How many soldiers can retreat from the front line and pass under the Arc de Triomphe?
There is no laughter under the Arc de Triomphe, only endless tears!

Asking for a monthly ticket!
