Love song Zhang Baotong

In the winter when I was 17 years old, the cold wind of the lunar month was blowing incessantly in the hilly and mountainous areas of northern Hunan Province. Although there was no snow, the sky was very overcast and the sun could not be seen all day. At that time, I and more than 20 other people in the production team were building a reservoir in Lanjiaba, a hundred miles away. There is the densest deep mountain ravine in Miluo County. The mountain peaks and deep ravines stretch for dozens of miles, and there is no edge in sight. The county wants to connect these peaks with dams to build a giant reservoir.

As soon as the autumn harvest was over, the team sent us out to repair the reservoir. More than 20 of us ate and lived in a family next to the reservoir, but we got up in the morning, went to bed at night, and listened to the horn of the commune's radio station. Our commune was responsible for building a dam. Our daily work is to dig under the dam and then carry it onto the dam to tamp it. It's not very tiring, but it's a long time and it's very monotonous.

I regret very much that I shouldn't have come to this hellish place, and the team usually won't be very busy after the autumn harvest. At most, it is to build roads near the production team. However, it is about 100 miles away from the production team, and it will not be allowed to go back until a few days before the Chinese New Year. However, I haven't seen my beloved Chunmei girl for many days, and I think about her all day and even every second.

She is the announcer of our brigade, the most beautiful and innocent girl in the whole commune. The brigade headquarters is just a small slope away from our production team, so I stay in her radio room every night because I love her very much, and she loves me very much. We miss each other so much when we don't see each other. The brigade headquarters is the only place in our brigade where there is electricity. After dinner, I would go to her radio room and listen to records with her, play the harmonica, or call other teachers over for a hangout and chat. Although the work in the paddy fields in the south is very hard, the thought of being with my beloved girl at night is also very exciting and happy.

My favorite songs are "Reflecting the Red Mountain", "The Chairman's Words in My Heart" and "The Fisherman's Girl at the Seaside". Chunmei played for me every morning, noon, and evening during the radio hours. The peasants don't have a day off, and I always look forward to the rain, and it rains heavily. In this way, the team can not go to work, and I can be with Chunmei all day. In the spring, I would take her to the pine forest to pick mushrooms, go to the reservoir to see the mountain reds, or visit the homes of familiar intellectuals and acquaintances. Sometimes, we also go to a far away place to watch a movie together in the evening. It can be said that Chunmei is the spiritual sustenance and spiritual comfort in the most difficult period of my life. It was the happiest time of my hardest life.

However, the team suddenly sent me to repair the reservoir, and I was not prepared at all, and I didn't even know what it was like to repair the reservoir. Before dawn the next day, the captain woke me up and took me to the warehouse of the production team for a public meal, and then asked the deputy captain to take me to the mountains. Therefore, Chunmei didn't know in advance that I was going to the mountains to build a reservoir. When I first left, I thought that the reservoir site would not be too far away, but I walked from morning to evening. This made me feel very depressed and disappointed.

In the first few days, I didn't feel it, but after a few days, I thought about Chunmei very much. There is a twenty-minute break in the middle of the morning and afternoon at the construction site. Others are generally sitting on the floor, smoking cigarettes or talking. I always went up to the top of the high hill next to the dam by myself, looking in the direction of the brigade headquarters, and the beautiful and affectionate appearance of Chunmei came to mind. She was like a hibiscus out of the water, refreshing and slim, smiling at me with a smile as bright as the sun. It was so pure and beautiful, fascinating, intoxicating. Before I knew it, I was writing her name all over the floor. Sometimes, tears can't help but flow when I think about it. I was thinking that as long as I could see her every day, I would not be afraid of any hard and tiring work. But she was so far away from me, and she must have been thinking of me. Once, when I was sick and stayed at home for five or six days, she thought that I couldn't bear it anymore, so she went to our house in the city to see me. However, we haven't seen each other for nearly twenty or thirty days. Poor girl, how have you been?

Although I miss it all day, I am too far away to see each other at all. I can only press my thoughts deeply in my heart, and wait until I go out of the mountain to return to the team and see her again. During the Chinese New Year, there will be a period of leisure time in the team, and I can enjoy being with her, taking her to the high hills, taking her to the dense mountain forests, taking her to the reservoir full of spring flowers, and taking her to the beautiful valley. However, the New Year is in the second half of January, and there are still more than 20 days before the return of the team. And every day spent here is so long.

It was still very gloomy and cold that afternoon. I buried my head and carried the soil that others had put in bamboo baskets to the dam one by one. Just as I was about to rest, I saw my brother and two strangers coming from the commune dam headquarters. I immediately realized that this must be a job hunt. I immediately put down my burden and came to them. My brother told me that my uncle and aunt were from Xi'an, and he wanted me to leave here immediately and hurry up to go through the recruitment procedures, because it would be next year in two days. By next year, the recruitment target will be invalid. I went back to my residence, tied my clothes and quilt with ropes, followed them down the mountain, and then took the shuttle back to the county seat.

The next day, I had to go to the brigade headquarters to get a stamp. I went with my brother and I. Of course, what I want to see the most is Chunmei, and I want to find a chance to say goodbye to Chunmei, let her wait for me, and I will come back to see her after I arrange my work. I was even worried that she would cry uncontrollably as I left. However, unexpectedly, when my brother and I came to the team headquarters, Chunge was not at the team headquarters. The secretary of the brigade stamped us and we left. Because early tomorrow morning, I will leave Miluo for Xi'an with the recruiters, and it is impossible to come here to say goodbye to Chunmei. I really want to ask the brigade secretary where Chunmei has gone, so I can find her and say goodbye to her. However, because my brother was in front of me, I didn't dare to let him know about my love affair with Chunmei, so I could only follow my brother away.
