Five babies in one pregnancy, I became a top performer in a military hospital.

Lu Yao: "Xiaoyun, don't worry about her, we still have a show to do."

Bai Xiaoyun nodded: "Yes, yes, let someone see what real strength is."

Next came a few more solo performances, and a total of 5 were approved.

Nine programs have been approved so far.

There are 11 program slots remaining.

Next, the opera singers went on stage to perform. Since Lu Yao and Bai Xiaoyun didn't have any opera performances, they went through the back door into the auditorium to listen to other people's performances.

Bai Xiaoyun whispered from behind, "Yaoyao sings opera very well too, it's a pity you didn't participate."

Lu Yao thought about how busy she had been these past few days. Every day she opened her eyes to training, and even after getting home, she was still practicing. If there was another opera performance, she wouldn't want to sleep at all.

Lu Yao: "We'll wait until another time; this time was too rushed."

Bai Xiaoyun: "Yes, I want to learn some opera from you in the future."

Bai Xiaoyun wondered if she could ask Gu Jincheng for guidance once she mastered the basics.

Bai Xiaoyun looked at Gu Jincheng on the judges' panel, who was giving feedback to the comrades performing the opera.

He's really amazing!

So outstanding that Bai Xiaoyun felt she could never reach his level.

Lu Yao: "No problem."

There were three opera performances in total, and all three were approved.

These three programs included Peking Opera, Huangmei Opera, and Qinqiang Opera, all adapted from war themes, and were sung very well.

After the opera performers left, Lu Yao jumped up.

"Next up is a musical, Xiaoyun, I'm going out now."

Bai Xiaoyun looked at Lu Yao expectantly: "Go quickly."

After Lu Yao came out, Zhou Yang and the others had already gathered at the entrance of the auditorium.

When they saw Lu Yao coming over, everyone gathered around.

"Comrade Lu, we all heard your solo performance, it was wonderful! Congratulations on passing the first program."

"Our musical is fine too; Comrade Lu Yao's performance was excellent!"

"This is Comrade Lu Yao's first time participating in a musical performance. Don't be nervous when you go on stage. If you have any questions, Comrade Zhou Yang will help you!"

……

Lu Yao thought the comrades in the cultural troupe were so adorable.

I actually thought she would be nervous!

In her previous life, she was a top star in the entertainment industry, having acted in more than a dozen stage plays. Her steady stage presence was her foundation, so how could she be nervous?

Lu Yao smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely work hard."

Xu Jingyi announced from the doorway, "Please welcome program number 21, the musical 'Wedding on the Execution Ground,' performed by Zhou Yang and Lu Yao..."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the auditorium became excited.

"This musical is directed by Mr. Yu Jianjun, and it is said that preparations began two months ago."

"I remember the female lead used to be Su Nianqing, but now it's Lu Yao!"

"Yes, Comrade Lu Yao also adapted the musical, and she mastered it in just two days!"

"Is it true? Professor Yu Jianjun agreed?"

"Director Yu agreed, and it's said that Comrade Lu Yao's revisions were even better."

"Really? I can't wait! Comrade Lu Yao always brings us surprises!"

……

Soon, the stage curtain was drawn.

Zhou Yang, playing Zhou Wenyong, came to the stage with secret documents and arrived at a secret contact point, where he saw Chen Tiejun, played by Lu Yao.

Chen Tiejun: "You're here. Did you bring the things?"

Zhou Wenyong nodded and handed the document to Lu Yao.

"Put it away quickly. We'll leave here together later. The situation outside is too dangerous. We need to..."

boom!

A gunshot rang out!

Zhou Wenyong nervously shielded Chen Tiejun behind him.

Zhou Wenyong: "Oh no, we've been exposed!"

Chen Tiejun: "Hurry up and go, take the documents..."

Zhou Wenyong: "I'll stay, you go!"

Then, the gunfire became even louder.

The audience below the stage became tense.

On the stage, a traitor grinned and led his men in.

A dozen comrades rushed onto the stage, accompanied by the sound of gunfire in the background. As they ran, they carried weapons and fired into the distance.

The atmosphere was very tense.

Zhou Wenyong protected Chen Tiejun as they left, but unexpectedly, they were betrayed by a traitor.

The traitor rushed in, and Zhou Wenyong and Chen Tiejun hid the secret documents and handed them out to an inconspicuous person.

The traitor sneered, "Hand over the documents, and we'll release you!"

Zhou Wenyong: "Hmph, don't even think about us betraying the organization!"

Chen Tiejun: "We would rather die than hand it over!"

Traitor: "Take them away; they won't confess unless they suffer some hardship."

Zhou Wenyong and Chen Tiejun were taken away, which filled the audience with righteous indignation.

People couldn't help but mutter curses under their breath.

"This traitor is truly despicable. If it weren't for these traitors, the revolution would have won long ago."

"My God, the two comrades have been taken away and subjected to severe torture."

"I'm so happy I could cry! They're so young! Lu Yao's acting was superb!"

"The performances of Comrade Zhou Yang and Comrade Lu Yao were so heartbreaking; how much pain must the two martyrs have endured in real life have suffered!"

……

The scene instantly went black.

In prison, it was pitch black.

The sounds of whipping and the curses of the two heroes could be heard from time to time.

"Tell me or not! If you don't, I have plenty of ways to torture you!"

"I'd rather die than tell! You'll be waiting for me in hell!"

"Where is the document? If you don't tell me, I'll kill your wife."

"If she dies, I will die with her!"

……

Many people in the audience were moved to tears.

Those were dark and hopeless years, yet the two heroes did not succumb to the traitor's torture.

Chen Tiejun and Zhou Wenyong still refused to yield, and the reactionaries eventually decided to execute them.

Traitor: "You are going to die. Tomorrow you will be sentenced to be executed by firing squad. Everyone will see you being shot and let everyone know your fate."

Chen Tiejun: "So what? We're willing to die. What revolution doesn't involve bloodshed? We're not afraid!"

Traitor: "What trouble can the two of you cause? Executing you will only intimidate those people."

Zhou Wenyong: "Really? Then what are you afraid of?"

Traitor: "I wasn't afraid, I..."

Zhou Wenyong: "We may not live to see the new China, but our descendants will."

Traitor: "You're all going to die tomorrow. What are your wishes?"

Zhou Wenyong: "I want to take a photo with Chen Tiejun."

Traitor: "Good!"

Zhou Wenyong and Chen Tiejun changed their clothes.

Chen Tiejun smiled slightly at Zhou Wenyong; there was no fear in her eyes, only composure.

It was as if those severe tortures were nothing to her.

The two people came to the center and stood side by side.

Chen Tiejun's gaze was firm, while Zhou Wenjun had a smile on his lips.

click!

This photo became their only group photo.

Those in the audience who witnessed this scene were moved to tears.

The two actors performed exceptionally well.

"I remember seeing photos of the two martyrs; they were taken just like this!"

"Comrade Chen Tiejun's eyes are just like that, Comrade Lu Yao's acting is really superb."

"This seems to be the only photo of them that remains; they had such a difficult life."

……

The scene shifted and went dark again.

Only the center of the stage was illuminated, and the two people nestled together with their backs to each other.

Zhou Wenyong: "Comrade Chen Tiejun, do you think we will win?"

Chen Tiejun looked firmly into the distance: "Yes!"

She always firmly believed it.

Zhou Wenyong: "Yes, although we can't see it, I hope we died a worthy death, and that our deaths can illuminate their future."

Chen Tiejun: "You're right, but... Wen Yong, do you have any regrets?"

Zhou Wenyong turned his head and looked at Chen Tiejun.

Their eyes met, and they understood each other without words.

Zhou Wenyong: "My regret is that we didn't become a real couple."

Chen Tiejun also turned around and smiled at him.

Chen Tiejun: "Then let's get married tomorrow, and let the reactionaries' gunfire become our salute!"

Zhou Wenyong was thrilled when she agreed.

"good!"

The next day, the two were taken to the execution ground.

There were many onlookers standing around.

The two walked side by side onto the stage, their eyes burning with intensity, and amidst the admiring gazes of the crowd, they reached the center of the stage.

The audience covered their faces and wept uncontrollably.

Inspired by their fearless spirit.

Finally, the two of them walked step by step towards the back of the stage.

Zhou Wenyong and Chen Tiejun exchanged a smile: "Now it's just the two of us, husband and wife!"

"I hereby swear that my head may be severed, my blood may flow, but my revolutionary spirit will never die!"

The two people raised their clenched fingers high.

With unwavering eyes, they looked down at the audience and shouted, "Long live the new China! Long live the people!"

Then, gunshots rang out.

The two men smiled at each other and then fell into a pool of blood!

When the musical ended, everyone in the audience, including the judges, stood up.

This was followed by enthusiastic applause.

"Zhou Yang and Lu Yao's performances were absolutely superb, I'm crying my eyes out!"

"Was this really adapted by Comrade Lu Yao? That's amazing! Her acting was superb!"

"If it were Su Nianqing, she couldn't possibly pull off this effect. My God, it's absolutely brilliant!"

"The new China has been established for a long time; the heroes can rest in peace now!"

……

Lu Yao and Zhou Yang stood up and, along with the other comrades, went to the center of the stage and bowed in unison.

Judging from everyone's reactions, they knew the show was a sure thing.

Gu Jincheng looked at Lu Yao on the stage; she was truly surprising him at every turn.

Her stage acting skills are more solid than her singing, opera, and instrumental performances.

Gu Jincheng was also ashamed of himself; how could someone be so talented?

The judges unanimously pulled out the "passed" plaques.

Everyone on stage was very happy, and after stepping off the stage, the women hugged each other joyfully.

"Comrade Lu Yao, we really owe a debt of gratitude to you; otherwise, we wouldn't have passed so smoothly!"

"Yes, Comrade Lu Yao, you are really amazing. I was really immersed in the performance when I acted with you."

"Judging from Su Nianqing's performance today, if she were to rehearse with us, this show would probably be ruined!"

……

"Yaoyao, you acted so well! You have no idea how much I cried just now!"

The next performance is Bai Xiaoyun's dance, so I came out quickly.

Upon seeing Lu Yao, she went over to greet her first.

Lu Yao: "Don't cry yet, you're going to be on stage later!"
