Chapter 871: "We Are Soldiers"
In the small square of the 7th Marine Corps Brigade's training ground, bursts of cheers can be heard from time to time.
The small stools originally made of stone in the entire small square were already full, and even some soldiers in military uniforms stood at the edge of the square.
Of course, the 7th Brigade could not have only men and women, but there were only a few of them.
Now, there are only 30 or so female soldiers, all of whom sit in the best seats and watch the performances on stage.
The entire 7th Brigade only has such a single seedling, of course, it has to be spoiled.
On the stage, the female soldiers of the art troupe wearing Dai costumes are performing dances, and the music with Dai characteristics sounded from the sound on the stage and shook in the air.
Their dancing postures are graceful, and every movement is precise and skillful, and the soldiers are fascinated by it.
At the edge of the stage, Fang Qianjin has also arranged for the propaganda officer of the art troupe to set up various filming equipment and shoot the performances on the stage.
Even if Liu Zixia didn't come, as an outdoor stage performance, it was also very publicized.
"All comrades have come to serve as soldiers while they are young, and after being soldiers for such a long time, I want to ask you, what are the similarities between our soldiers and our people, and what are the differences?"
After the peacock dance performance, Liu Zixia took the microphone and walked back onto the stage and said a question that seemed to be a bit contradictory.
What is the difference between a soldier and a common man?
All the fighters present were stunned.
The heart said, what's the difference between this, it's all one nose and two ears, who can have three heads and six arms?
"Mr. Liu, they are all human, what's the difference?"
"That's right, we're all ordinary people, who can fly, or what?"
"Mr. Liu, we don't look the same, I don't know if this counts......"
These warriors are all straight, straightforward and fast-talking, and they shouted directly at the top of their voices.
You say a word, I say a word, the scene can be called chaotic for a while, and it almost gets out of control.
Listening to the words of the fighters, a smile appeared on Liu Zixia's face.
It seems that these fighters did not understand the meaning of Liu Zixia's question.
"Now you can't think of this, I believe that after listening to the next song, you will definitely figure it out!"
Looking at the stunned soldiers, Liu Zixia laughed: "Next, I would like to invite Liu Zixia to bring you the original song "We Are Soldiers"!"
Hearing Liu Zixia's words, all the fighters became excited.
The reason why they came to the training ground was not to see Liu Zixia's live singing.
But they have been here for so long, and the ones who perform on the stage have always been the military art troupe, although their performances are also very good, but after all, it is not what they expected.
Now that Liu Zixia is finally going to sing, of course they are very excited.
And this song title, they really haven't heard of it, it must be a new song!
......
I didn't have to wait too long, and after about a minute, the music started.
This music is different from the piano, guitar, drum kit and other instruments used in previous pop songs, but the snare drum, snare drum, and cymbal...... These are all common instruments for military bands.
Could it be that this song is also a military song?
"We are soldiers, we are soldiers
Those who are soldiers, those who are soldiers......"
There was only a few seconds of intro, followed by singing.
It's just that this singing is a chorus, and the sonorous and powerful sound is mixed with the music of snare drums, horns, and trombones, with an inspiring sense of power.
Originally, after watching the programs of several military bands, the soldiers were already a little aesthetically fatigued, but when this chorus sounded, everyone was full of excitement and became energetic.
"We soldiers
What's different
Just because we're all wearing
Unpretentious military uniforms..."
As soon as Liu Zixia opened his voice, he was immediately surprised by the audience!
Bel canto, and this timbre is not only pure and sweet, but even the vocal range is particularly wide and smooth.
Liu Zixia has always given the public the impression that it is pop music, and it can even be said that since his debut, he has always led the trend of Chinese pop music.
Chinese style, female and male singing, unique rap style, and hot rock ......
No matter which song it is, if it is created by Liu Zixia, it is labeled with the word 'good'.
But I didn't expect that he could not only write and sing pop songs, but also bel canto songs, and this voice was really ...... It's so magnetic, it's so attractive!
"We soldiers
What's different
Since leaving home
It's hard to see my father and mother..."
Liu Zixia didn't know the surprise of the soldiers, he had already devoted his attention to the song.
No way, this is also the first time he has sung a military song, although he has practiced many times before, but now he is performing live in front of so many soldiers.
Another point to explain is that although Liu Zixia has all the memories related to entertainment in his previous life, these are just memories.
If Liu Zixia didn't practice singing by himself, these would just be memories.
Once there is a little mistake, or the singing is out of tune, it is an insult to this song and to the loveliest people in front of him, so Liu Zixia does not allow himself to fail.
After the initial shock, the fighters all calmed down and did a good job as spectators.
It is only at this moment that they care about these lyrics and understand the meaning of the lyrics.
Compared with ordinary people, what is the difference between people who serve in the army?
It's nothing more than wearing military uniforms that represent their identities all year round, and it's nothing more than leaving their hometown, and they can't see their parents all year round.
When they thought of this, their hearts were slightly sour.
The lyrics are so well written, they are not like ordinary children, either staying in front of their parents to do their filial piety, or having a fixed time to visit their parents every week or month.
They only have a fixed few days off each year.
It may take a whole day or two to go home from the barracks, and it will not be enough for them to go home and reunite with their parents.
But there is no way, the country needs them to defend, and the people need them to protect!
"Say different
Actually, it's the same
It's all the years of youth
It's all hot-blooded..."
Liu Zixia's pure bel canto singing is still continuing.
In the front, it was still said that the person who was a soldier was different from ordinary people, but in the back, the conversation changed and began to narrate the same place.
Every year when the army is conscripted, the army is a hot-blooded conscript.
They are all in their prime of life, or double ten, or twenty-eight, they are all at the best age, maybe people of this age, some go to school, and some step into society......
But without exception, they all did what they thought was right with full of enthusiasm.
"Say different
Actually, it's the same
The same footprints remain
The mountains are high and the waters are long..."
Every soldier present, in Liu Zixia's singing, thought of the things he had experienced before he became a soldier.
The college entrance examination is over, and every candidate feels that he has finally escaped his suffering.
They have been admitted to universities, and men and women with military complexes have filled in the volunteers of military schools, and even if they have not been admitted to military schools, they have also applied for college students and soldiers, and they also continue their dreams of being soldiers.
Candidates who were not admitted to university chose to step into society and start their lives anew.
At the fork in the road of life, whether it is to the left or to the right, every upright young man and woman has started their own lives.
They are all trying to move forward, leaving their footprints in the mountains and rivers of the motherland.
"We soldiers
It's just different
The bright moon resting on the border
Covered in rain, snow, wind and frost..."
Just when the soldiers who listened carefully to the song fell into their memories before enlisting in the army, Liu Zixia's lyrics took another turn.
After enlisting in the army, the person is still the same person, young boys and girls, although they have become mature, but everything they have experienced has been completely different.
Men and women who go to college have classes, play games, talk to people, go to the mall, and have fun every day...... Their lives are colorful.
Men and women who did not go to university and entered society alone are running for their own livelihood every day, and they can also enjoy the stability and joy of society.
What about the men and women of the same age, who signed up to join the army?
After three months in the boot camp, each fighter was assigned to their respective post.
Some of them were assigned to inland military districts, some were assigned to the frontiers, and some were even sent out of the country......
But without exception, they are all for the stability of the country and the safety of the people.
Hard training, sleeping in the open air, risking life and death...... For the fighters of the Motherland, it has become the norm.
Going to college, working, talking to someone, going to the mall, nightlife?
What is that, that is a luxury for these loveliest people!
"We soldiers
It's just different
For the tranquility of the country
We clenched our guns in our hands ...
Liu Zixia's voice became more and more high-pitched, and that tone could pierce the sky.
Now, what echoes in his mind are all touching pictures he encountered in the military region during the Dongguan snow disaster:
The blizzard crushed the house, and in the bedroom of the house, there was a sleeping old couple.
Several soldiers in military uniforms, worried that cleaning the brick wall with tools would hurt the elderly, actually cleaned the collapsed brick wall with their bare hands, even though their hands were frozen and unconscious, they were still digging hard.
In the freezing water, a young woman accidentally fell into the lake, and a passing soldier jumped into the lake desperately, struggling to save the young woman to the shore, but he fell asleep forever.
In the middle of the night when the cold wind was howling, the soldiers of a company were using their own strength to clear more than 70 centimeters of snow, because they needed to clear the entire railway within 48 hours......
There are many, many more things like this, and the list is too numerous to count.
Even in times of peace, there is no war, and there is no need to defend one's country with guns.
But these soldiers, these soldiers, turned their iron will into steel guns, guarding the stability of the country and the safety of the people.
