War Military: From 1978

Chapter 288 A Song That Moved the Entire Audience to Tears
"Perhaps I'm saying goodbye."

They will never come back.

Do you understand?

Do you understand?

Perhaps I will fall and never rise again.

you."

Chu An's singing voice isn't particularly good.

But at this moment, Chu An closed his eyes and sang, even if it was just a cappella without any accompaniment.

However, as Chu An became more emotionally invested, the cadres, trainees, and even school leaders sitting in front of the stage unconsciously began to have blurred vision.

There are many kinds of songs.

There are singers with beautiful, distinctive voices that can give people a refreshing feeling.

There are also those where the emotions and lyrics are linked, drawing people in completely.

The current Chu An belongs to the second type, but is even more beyond the second type.

His voice isn't considered particularly good for a singer.

But the lyrics and the emotions they conveyed left everyone in the audience in a daze.

The a cappella singing seemed to carry the scent of gunpowder.

The audience, with their blurred vision, seemed to see themselves on the battlefield.

"On the flag of the Republic, there is the glory stained with our blood."

In a daze, everyone seemed to see their fallen comrades and the blood-stained flag.

It even made me feel like I was falling under that banner!
The entire audience fell silent.

Finally, Chu An finished singing.

Opening his eyes, Chu An, also with teary eyes, looked towards the side of the stage.

In that spot, the female host in military uniform was covering her mouth with one hand, her expression grief-stricken, tears streaming down her face.

The male soldier in charge only showed Chu An his back.

The entire audience, both on and off stage, was completely silent.

For these trainees now, Chu An's song is incredibly powerful.

He himself often gets red-eyed when creating from memory.

After registering, he put together the lyrics and music, and when he sang it for the first time in the dormitory, the students in the dormitory couldn't sleep all night and suffered from insomnia until dawn.

The next day, when the platoon leader found out, he and the company commander, not believing in superstition, also listened to Chu An sing it.

after that
Chu An only sang this song publicly again tonight.

In the words of the company commander and platoon leader, it's a New Year's surprise for everyone.

Obviously.

Now the surprise has arrived.

Everyone in the audience had red eyes; no one was without tears welling up.

Regardless of gender, 80% of the people had tears on their faces, and another 20% were secretly wiping them away the whole time.
"A very moving singing voice"
Chu Chuan, thank you so much for bringing us so much tonight!

It took the female host more than ten seconds to come to her senses. Seeing Chu An looking at her and the other people in the audience, she immediately remembered that she was still the host.

She quickly wiped away her tears and stepped forward.

But when she stood before Chu An, she found herself completely forgetting her lines from the rehearsal, and even unsure how to begin a conversation with him.

"Thank you. Thank you for your recognition!"

Chu An sincerely thanked them, then turned to face the audience.

Chu An solemnly raised his hand in salute.

He didn't say anything unnecessary.

After the ceremony, Chu An stepped down from the stage.

"etc."

Suddenly, the principal stood up.

Not only him, but all the school leaders in the front row seemed to snap out of their daze and stood up one after another.

"Comrade Chu An!"

The principal didn't call the students this time.

He gestured for Chu An to stop, but then didn't say anything more.

After a few seconds of pause, he spoke again: "The song is very good!"

After saying that, he looked at the two hosts on the stage: "Let's continue!"

His words seemed to carry an inexplicable sense of vicissitude.

Chu An understood this feeling.

Chu An knew that although the old general in front of him had not been on this battlefield, he had fought against the Japanese and the Eagle Emperor's soldiers.

The battlefield is no stranger to this veteran.

In his past, he had also lived amidst the smoke of gunpowder and the flames of war.

"Thank you for Comrade Chu Anxue's singing."
I believe this is the most beautiful song of the night.

On stage, the host regained his composure and resumed hosting the performance.

But clearly, the mood in the room is different now.

One song completely changed tonight's cultural performance.

Although many more performances followed, the smiles on the faces of the audience seemed to vanish completely.

The long-term consequences are too great.

It took even the chairman in the front row more than ten minutes to gradually recover from this emotion.

But afterwards, all he could do was smile bitterly.

Chu An's poem, "The Bloodstained Glory," completely exceeded his expectations.

The performance was still going on, but it ended a little after ten o'clock.

"Chirp~ Smack!"

"Gee~"

Fireworks explode.

Beneath the fireworks display, which should have been filled with laughter and joy, there are still few smiles to be seen.

"Chu An, did you really write this song?"

After the cultural performance and fireworks display, the students from each team quietly took their small stools back to their dormitories.

But Chu An was left behind.

When asked by the principal, Chu An simply nodded silently.

He has been on stage for over an hour now.

My emotions have gradually calmed down.

After all, he had sung it before, and his emotions had already been honed when composing and writing lyrics.

"very good!"

The principal didn't say much, but simply patted Chu An on the shoulder in affirmation.

Then, he silently turned away.

Then, the committee member came up to him and looked at Chu An.

But in the end, he didn't say anything, he just patted Chu An on the shoulder as well.

This includes the head of academic affairs.

Until they left.

The squad leader and platoon leader who had stayed behind came over.

"Another sleepless night!"

The squadron leader looked at everyone's departing figures and sighed with emotion.

"Isn't this going a bit too far?" the squad leader said softly.

They had heard it for the second time, so they had developed some resistance, and their emotions recovered very quickly.

"Hehe!" the company commander laughed.

"Let's just treat this as staying up all night for the New Year!"

After saying that, he looked at Chu An and said, "Let's go back!"

"it is good!"

Chu An was infected by his smile and scratched his head and smiled too.

To be honest, Chu An is feeling a little guilty right now.

This song is indeed very powerful.

He didn't even know if the song would actually become popular.

Will it be banned outright because of its power?

Chu An felt a little uneasy.

Although this song was created because of him, the original story will certainly not happen.

But in the current context, this song, created in advance, seems to be a bit too devastating.

There are other examples of good songs being banned because they are too good.

For example, before his rebirth, he knew that it seemed the recruit training camp in the army prohibited singing "Green Flowers in the Army".

"Monitor!"

"Squad Leader Chu"

Inside the dormitory, after Chu An and the district captain and squad leader returned, someone was spying in each dormitory.

Upon arriving at Class One's dormitory, Chu An discovered it was packed with people.

Chu An is not a celebrity.

But tonight, Chu An is already in the eyes of the other students.

Of course, Chu An would never become a star.

He will sing this song tonight; he just doesn't want it to be forgotten.

He will then find a more professional singer to perform the song.

As for himself.

He was a soldier, and all he wanted to do was remain a soldier in a more straightforward way.

He never considered pursuing a career as an arts and culture soldier, nor did he ever intend to continue plagiarizing other classic songs.

It's enough to unearth a great song that would otherwise have been buried.

He will continue to fight on the front lines.
