Chapter 118: Me and My Motherland

On October 1, 1986, a grand military parade was held in ** Square, and the strength of the motherland was delivered to the people of the whole country through television.

On this day, just a few months after its establishment, Hong Kong-owned Haina Records released the company's first chapter album "My Motherland" to celebrate the birthday of the motherland.

It was a star-studded album that was recorded as a 51-minute music video and aired on CCTV at 8 p.m. primetime.

The "My Motherland" album has a total of 10 songs, except for old songs such as "My Chinese Heart", "My Motherland and Me" and "Our Sculls", most of the others are new songs.

The recording area spans Hong Kong, Macau, the mainland, students, soldiers and dozens of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, and the scale of the span can be said to be unprecedented.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Yang Dongxu, who rarely watches TV, sat on the sofa with a smile on the corner of his mouth, lazily watching TV. Zhou Ya sat quietly beside him, peeling bananas for him, and Old Man Xuan took a sip of wine from time to time on a plate of fried peanuts on the other side. Zhou Yiren looked at the documents in his hand with reading glasses, and no one spoke in the room except for the sound of the TV.

"Here we go. When the clock in the room, which was still made of wood, struck eight o'clock, Zhou Ya immediately sat up straight, Yang Dongxu's expression suddenly became energetic, Zhou Yiren put down the documents in his hand, and Old Man Xuan also looked at it.

The opening scene is a picture overlooking the entire island of Hong Kong, and then the camera constantly wanders on the old buildings and archways with Chinese and English fonts.

In the end, the camera zoomed out again, as if it was a thousand miles in a flash, Hong Kong became a point on the map of China, the camera made a rapid leap on the map, and the picture of Yanjing City began to zoom in, and finally froze on the ** square.

In just three or four seconds, the hearts of those who watched it couldn't help but pinch all of a sudden.

"A hundred years ago, I watched you go

I look forward to your return to me in a hundred years

The vicissitudes of life can't erase my thoughts of you,

Calling you again and again, my 1997

...................”

Full of unwillingness, sighs, longing, and caring...... It's as if a mother's voice of leaving home instantly rushes into the ears of people in front of the TV.

The first few sentences are a picture of a male singer in ** square, and the next few sentences of a female singer flashed and became Hong Kong.

As the song progressed, the picture continued to change, and finally on December 19, 1984, it was the signing of the Sino-British Joint Declaration that decided to officially return Hong Kong's sovereignty and political power to the motherland on July 1, 1997. At this moment, for some reason, everyone who saw this scene burst into tears.

At the end of the song, the camera zoomed out again, this time in Macau, it was night, five or six-year-old children, holding lotus lanterns in their hands and slowly putting them into the water, their immature faces full of innocence.

"Did you know that Macau isn't my real name?

I've been away from you for too long, Mother!

But they took my ** captive,

You still hold my soul. ”

First of all, a group of children's chorus, full of childish voices, especially after the word 'mother' came out, countless people's tears slipped down instantly.

The next moment, a little girl of five or six years old, wearing a princess dress, stepped forward.

"Did you know that Macau isn't my real name?

I've been away from you for too long, Mother!

But they took my ** captive,

You still hold my soul. ”

The little girl's tone was very inaccurate, and she even slurred her words a little, but it was like a child's babbling voice, which made many older generations suddenly clench their fists.

That's a five- or six-year-old child, and he can't even speak Chinese clearly when he's so old, and the hearts of the older generation seem to be grabbed by something.

"For three hundred years, the biological mother who has never forgotten!

Please call me 'Macau'!

I want to come back, Mother!"

Finally, there is a chorus, a group of adult men and women go behind a group of children, these people are young, middle-aged, old, workers in suits, doctors, workers......

At the end of the song, countless people in front of the TV cried into tears.

"Mom and Dad, why are you crying, the song is so good!" a naïve child, looking at the crying parents with a puzzled face.

But this crying did not make him feel frightened, just naïve incomprehension and curiosity.

"You're too young to understand!"

............................

"Grandpa, grandpa, you're in tears. "A little girl with pigtails stretched out her little hand to wipe the tears from her wrinkled face.

"Little girl, you grow up quickly, the old man is old, when you grow up, you must go to Hong Kong, go to Macau to see Oh......" said the old man here crying silently.

..........................

Such a scene took place in various cities and corners of the motherland.

The picture was pulled back to Yanjing ** Square again, and a middle-aged woman with a round face in a military uniform looked at the camera affectionately for a moment.

"Me and my homeland,

Not for a moment

..........................”

After the end of the song "My Motherland and Me". Zhang Wen and Wu Qi appeared and sang Luo Dayou's "Pearl of the Orient".

Then Dongzi, who was wearing a white shirt and a confident face with a sunny smile, appeared, her hands open as if she was hugging something.

"We all have one family, and our name is China

Lots of brothers and sisters and nice view

There are two dragons coiled around the house

It is the Yangtze River and the Yellow River

.....................”

It is still an overhead shot, with a panoramic view of the great rivers and mountains all over the motherland, so that people who are still immersed in sadness can feel the gorgeous scenery of the motherland's continent once.

After the end of "Great China", it is a song "The Story of Spring".

Then there was the children's chorus of "Let's Swing the Sculls",

This was followed by Zhang Mingmin's "My Chinese Heart"

The penultimate song is "Five-Star Red Flag", Yang Dongxu specially asked Mr. Liu to sing this song.

The last song is "I Love the Blue Ocean" sung by Wu Aibing, and Wu Aibing in a navy uniform stands on the deck of a warship with a heroic posture.

A sonorous and powerful naval song, accompanied by rows of soldiers, warships and planes, instantly made everyone feel the strength of the motherland.

Each song is more than three minutes long, or more than four minutes long. It adds up to 51 minutes, and when the last song ends, everyone is still looking at the TV in a daze, and they don't know what to do for a while.

The fountain of tears that have not been tortured by too many TV series and movies has made them sad and happy in less than an hour, the former humiliation of the motherland, and the current strength, imprinted into their hearts in less than an hour.

"How's it going, isn't it?" Yang Dongxu bumped Zhou Ya who was standing next to him with his shoulder.

"This ...... Did you really shoot this?" Zhou Ya, who had tears on her face, looked at Yang Dongxu as if she was looking at something extremely incredible.

"That's a must. Yang Dongxu had a smug smile on his face, but his eyes were red and there seemed to be tears, which made this smile seem even more proud.

Saying that, Yang Dongxu wanted to look at Zhou Yiren and Old Man Xuan again, and was ready to accept the praise of the two people.

"Not bad. At this time, Zhou Yiren had already gotten up and walked to his room, not wanting Yang Dongxu and Zhou Ya to see his moist eyes.

"Don't forget to practice tomorrow. Old man Xuan also dropped a sentence and turned to leave.

"Old man Xuan, you cried just now. Yang Dongxu was unwilling to get praise without being complimented, so he shouted loudly.

"You've been running around a lot for a long time, I'll add some medicine to you tomorrow. Old man Xuan's body stiffened, and then he walked away quickly.

"I'll go!" Yang Dongxu's eyes widened, and he instantly felt like he was cocooned.

This addition of some medicine is not a light supplement, but it will also torture Yang Dongxu to death. Listening to Old Man Xuan's voice of gritting his teeth just now, he knew that he would suffer tomorrow.

"I'll go with you tomorrow. Zhou Ya looked at Yang Dongxu with a smile on the corner of her mouth, although she felt sorry for Yang Dongxu, she also seemed to like to see him deflated in front of Old Man Xuan.

"Revenge, it's definitely Chiguo's revenge. Yang Dongxu hummed and grabbed an apple and took a bite, as if biting the old man again.

The album "My Motherland" is on fire, and although the simultaneous tape sales have not yet been counted, it is definitely a big hit.

The next day, all the national newspapers, both central and local, reported on "My Motherland", and even more unexpectedly, the evening news broadcast even mentioned the album, and at the same time gave about 20 seconds of introduction.

Twenty seconds, twenty seconds of news broadcast, this time everyone at Haina Records instantly had a feeling of going to the sky.

Not only the Mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Canada, Singapore...... Wherever there are Chinese people, this album swept through in the form of a storm.

"Why didn't you sleep well yesterday?" looked at Wu Aibing's dark circles, Yang Dongxu, who was drinking milk, asked.

"I shouldn't have promised you to sing that song. Wu Ai said angrily.

"Really?" Yang Dongxu glanced at Wu Aibing, especially on the **** smile on the corner of his mouth for a moment, "How many times did you do it yesterday?"

"Four...... Go and go, little kids don't care much about these things. Wu Aibing said that he leaked his mouth.

But Yang Dongxu blinked, obviously getting the answer he wanted.

That's right, Wu Aibing, who was ready to continue to defend yesterday, was holding Ye Rongrong and preparing to sleep. Ye Rongrong, who had always been on guard against the last line of defense, suddenly exploded, regardless of the pain of breaking the melon for the first time, she asked for it directly four times.

So Wu Aibing not only has dark circles under his eyes today, but even walks a little fluttering.

"Is this useful?" Seeing Yang Dongxu's smile, Wu Aibing hurriedly changed the topic, the person in front of him was not a simple 13-year-old child, but a hooligan.

"God knows. Yang Dongxu pointed to the ceiling, but the smile on his face was extraordinarily confident.

Let Wu Aibing and Dongzi sing a song alone, naturally not because they are talented, Yang Dongxu wants to praise them as singers. Even Zhou Ya and Wan Jun showed their faces in "AD 1997", but there are many stars in this song, they are not conspicuous, and they only show their faces at the end.

It's just that doing this is undoubtedly showing an attitude, but Zhou Ya and Wan Jun's identities are more sensitive, so it's enough to show your face. And Dongzi and Wu Aibing are not hidden behind the scenes like Yang Dongxu, and the elders behind them like Zhou Ya and Wan Jun are capable.

So let the two of them sing a song alone, which is to make a talisman.

Now it seems that whether it is the report of the news network or the reports of major newspapers, although this talisman cannot reach the point of the invincible defense of the Admiralty Iron Cloth Shirt, as long as the two people do not die in the future, whoever wants to deal with them will have to weigh it.

In this way, it is equivalent to putting on a defensive coat for Yang Dongxu's business that they take care of.
