In September 1979 in Beijing, if you want to describe it, it is very appropriate to describe the name of the drama that caused a sensation last year - "In the Silence".

Because the political, spiritual and livelihood levels of society are changing everywhere, but everywhere they have become silent. It was accepted without much effort, as if it were meant to be.

The reason for this state of affairs is, of course, the result of continuous changes and changes from 1976 to the present.

Under the call of "reform and opening up", the people's thinking and vision have become more and more broadened imperceptibly, and everyone's ability to accept new things in life has been greatly improved.

Let's start with the political level.

The most significant event of this month was the resolution passed at the 11th meeting of the Fifth National Senior Officials' Conference on September 13 to ban the "Revolutionary Committee" established in the "movement."

At the same time, the "Standing Committee of the National People's Congress", which had been abolished during the "movement", was reinstated. The governance of the country has been completely restored to normal, and all traces of the deformed era have been eliminated.

Secondly, at the spiritual level, from the state to the people, the pursuit and desire for a happy life are taken as the mainstream.

The performance of the upper echelons was that under the leadership of the "great men", everyone focused on the south.

"Running a special zone and fighting a bloody road" is by no means an empty phrase; in line with the keynote of making all-out efforts to develop the national economy, this matter has begun to be closely discussed, and with the vigorous efforts of the doers, it has begun to be implemented step by step.

The aspirations and needs of the people are expressed more through concrete images and sounds.

The documentary "The Wish of Beauty" shot by Nu Skin Studios has appeared on the big screen and TV screens.

This documentary rekindles people's long-held pursuit of beauty. It affirms that people's pursuit of external beauty is a normal need. Let the word "stinky beauty" become a thing of the past from a theoretical point of view.

In addition, the film "Sweet Career" also appeared for the first time in slow motion of men chasing women running, which made the Chinese people who have been barren for a long time happy.

The cheerful, bright and infectious film interlude "Our Life is Full of Sunshine" also quickly became popular, and the singing voice of opera singer Yu Shuzhen under the electroacoustic soundtrack was particularly romantic and cordial, and was sincerely loved by all young people.

It was also in this overall social atmosphere that Yang Weifan and Su Xiaoming were invited by the "great man" to sing the song "Young Friends Come to Meet" at the National Day reception to "celebrate the 30th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China".

To tell the truth, although China has the practice of "celebrating every May Day and celebrating the 11th National Day", and this year's National Day is still the day of the 30th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. However, at this early stage of history, due to the fact that our country is in ruins, the national leaders are busy with many more important things than the National Day celebration.

Therefore, the state did not hold a grand military parade or organize a mass parade in Tiananmen Square that year. As is customary, a reception was held at the Great Hall of the People on 30 September, attended by state leaders and meeting with 4,000 people of all ethnic groups and all walks of life in our country, as well as foreign friends from five continents.

The subsequent arrangement was to hold another party for the masses in the Great Hall of the People on the evening of 1 October, including amusement games, dance parties, juggling, dramas, films, operas, puppet shows, sports performances, calligraphy, and painting and pen tests.

It should be said that this form of celebration is quite frugal and simple, but it does not meet the psychological expectations of most participants. On the night of September 30, for example, there was little interest in the attendees, and no one expected any highlights of the reception.

From the leader's speech to the orchestra's performance of the "March of Solidarity and Friendship" that day, the entire participation procedure has been in accordance with the rules and regulations. Although the applause was warm, it was really a little lacking in emotion, and it meant to go through the motions.

But then Yang Weifan and Su Xiaoming began to sing this new song, and the whole atmosphere was different, which immediately refreshed the audience and lifted their spirits, and people couldn't help but clap along with the beat.

Why is this happening?

First of all, this song is really good.

The melody is beautiful, the melody is smooth, the rhythm is bright, and the performance form of male and female duets is quite lively. It makes everyone feel catchy, relaxed and enjoyable. Even the foreigners here who couldn't understand the lyrics were equally fascinated.

The second was the opportune year, which was the last year of the late seventies.

In the lyrics, "Glory belongs to the new generation of the eighties" ideals and aspirations. It not only shows the deep hope of young people for the motherland, but also fully demonstrates the spirit of the new youth in the 80s of the 20th century, which is very appropriate and ingenious.

And most importantly, the content of the song is exactly in line with the minds of the upper echelons of the country.

The future of "the sky is new, the earth is new, and the spring is brighter" is undoubtedly what the country's leaders are working hard to embark on, and it is also the most expected.

For example, the sentence "In another 20 years, we will meet each other! How beautiful the great motherland should be!" not only aptly expresses the determination of the top and bottom to unite as one, develop the motherland, and realize the four modernizations. There is also a welcome publicity effect.

Such songs are simply sung to the hearts of people, to the hearts of hundreds of millions of people, and to the hearts of leaders. How can it not resonate with people, not make people excited, and not be well received?

Sure enough, after the song was sung, the applause was thunderous, and everyone applauded this new song that they had never heard before.

The "great man" even said, "I haven't heard such a cheerful song for many years." This is the first song to usher in a new era!"

As a result, Yang Weifan and Su Xiaoming became a blockbuster with this song, and they became completely popular and purple.

At the end of the day's reception, they were not only asked to sing it again. The next night's party was also enacted.

Since then, this song has not only spread among the masses at once, but also spread all over the motherland. In addition, because of its novel theme, vivid image, beautiful language and strong musicality, it was declared by UNESCO as a music textbook for the Asia-Pacific region in 1979.

In addition, the National Record Corporation and Guangzhou Pacific Audio-visual Company took the initiative to come to the door and recorded "Song of the Sea" and "Yang Weifan and Su Xiaoming's Solo Song Selection" for Yang Weifan and Su Xiaoming.

Even when tape recorders were not yet widely available, and a cassette tape sold for as much as six yuan and three cents and six yuan and five cents, both albums eventually sold more than half a million tapes nationwide.

This made them indisputably one of the few young singers who could release best-selling solo albums that year. became the main page of music magazines that year. It is not an exaggeration to be called the "leader of popular songs" and the "first group" in China.

As for the benefits of their fame fermentation afterwards, there are even more.

For example, "Haifeng" took the initiative to award Yang Weifan and Su Xiaoming for meritorious service, and once again improved their salary, and Yang Weifan became a deputy division. Su Xiaoming also became a deputy regimental level.

This also means that Su Xiaoming finally has the right to ride in a jeep, and Yang Weifan has his own guards, and this rapid rise really makes his colleagues in the regiment blush.

In addition, because of the eyes of the "great man", under the "Longyan Dayue", Yang Yaohua's situation has unexpectedly improved.

The "great man's" instruction that "people are old, but they still have to play a role" put an end to Yang Yaohua's state of "recuperating at home," and not only made him a professional adviser to the Navy in the Ministry of National Defense, but also took up the post of deputy political commissar of the "Academy of Military Research Sciences."

Although it cannot be compared with the previous positions of real power, this kind of idle post and honorable support at least shows a trend. The Yang family is like a flowering old tree, and it has a chance to shine again.
