Chapter 112: My Motherland

Halfway through the song, Long Yingtai pressed the pause button to stop the song.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this "Green Island Serenade" has a strong historical imprint. Some people may say, isn't this just an ordinary love song? What I want to say is: this is not an ordinary love song, just as it was born in the era, it must also carry the indelible mark of the era.

What was Wanwan like in the 50s? I think many young people may not know that the Green Island at that time was not as beautiful as it was sung in the songs, and that the Green Island at that time was actually a place where thought prisoners were imprisoned. Everyone said that it was actually a song of protest against the authorities, but it was just packaged as a love song. So, from this song, we can see the political atmosphere of that year......"

On the stage, Long Yingtai talked eloquently, but Wang Yong in the audience frowned slightly.

Finally, Wang Yong couldn't help but raise his hand and gestured to speak.

Long Yingtai saw that outside the bustling crowd, a hand was raised high, but his face was covered by the crowd and he couldn't see it clearly.

She instinctively didn't want to pay attention.

But Wang Yong is like a stubborn child, he always raises his hands, and the other listeners have also seen Wang Yong, and their attention has been shifted to Wang Yong.

Helpless, Long Yingtai could only say: "That friend outside the door, what do you want to ask?"

A microphone was passed over by the staff and reached Wang Yong's hands.

Wang Yong took the microphone and said: "As far as I know, "Green Island Serenade" is not what you said, with the so-called political implications. The daughter of the author of this song once made it clear in 2011 that this is a love song written by her father to her mother, describing the love between the two, and the lyrics do not involve any political words. Just because it has the word 'green island', it is unreasonable to arbitrarily think that this is a political song. ”

After listening to Wang Yong's words, Long Yingtai's face suddenly turned blue, and said: "The meaning of a song is given by history, sometimes the lyricist may not have such ideas, but the social environment at that time invisibly affected his lyrics, making it reveal similar ideas. This is normal, this kind of song and novel are not uncommon all over the world, so I won't give examples of them one by one. Thank you for this friend's question, it can be seen that this is a friend who likes to think and question. Below we enjoy the second song. ”

Long Yingtai hurriedly changed the topic.

And the songs played on the big screen this time immediately caused an uproar at the scene.

It is a "Wanwan Restoration National Anthem" with a strong hostile connotation.

Even in modern times, the lyrics in it have a strong sense of instigation and killing.

"Down with the Russian Kou anti-XX, anti-XX! Eliminate XX and kill traitors, kill traitors!"

No one thought that Long Yingtai would choose such a song on such an occasion.

"Phew!"

Tourists from the mainland at the scene were dissatisfied and booed.

Some Xiangjiang tourists also looked at Long Yingtai with embarrassed faces, and they didn't understand what Long Yingtai's original intention was in playing such a song.

In the face of the riots of the tourists in the audience, Long Yingtai seemed to have been prepared. With a friendly smile, she induced in a low, slow voice: "Calm down and listen to it, it's actually very good, isn't it? Some people may question why I want to play such a song, for the simple reason that the historical imprint of this song is too obvious for me to skip." It's a song that was popular in the fifties and sixties, and people basically sang it in public. In private, songs such as "The Wind of May" and "Roses Bloom Everywhere" are sung. Has anyone heard these two songs?"

The audience shook their heads, and only a few raised their hands to indicate that they had heard.

This scene was a bit unexpected by Long Yingtai, and she sighed: "It seems that even something like a song that is highly sung has a fault. It's only been a few decades, and the fault line in history is so obvious that I think we should call on everyone to pay attention to it. Since many people have never heard of it, I will introduce "The Wind of May", this song was written by a person named Chen Gexin, which is very beautiful. At that time, seventy or eighty percent of the songs that people liked were written by him.

It is a pity that the great composer was treated unfairly in the mainland, where the well-known movement took place and Chen Gexin was branded as a villain. Suffering inhuman torture, he starved to death in the wilderness at the age of nearly forty-six. It is really sad, sad and infuriating that a genius artist ended his life in such a form.

Therefore, songs are witnesses of history, they will witness the justice and evil of that history, the flowers and blood of that history. May we listen to these songs with the lesson in mind and not let the same tragedy happen again. ”

These words easily caused a sensation among the tourist group.

"The interior is really a terrible place! Such a great composer was tortured to death by them, and there is no humanity!"

"In the past, the mainland was no different from hell, but now it's better, but it's just from hell to prison. Fortunately, we live in Xiangjiang, and if it is the mainland, it is estimated that we are not free to travel to Wanwan. ”

The two Xiangjiang tourists whispered, but they were heard by the mainland tourists next to them, and they couldn't help but get angry.

"Mainland tourists can't come to Wanwan to visit? So what are we? The mainland has indeed had turbulent years in the past, but what does it mean to constantly smear a modern government?"

The tourists in Xiangjiang gave the mainland tourists a displeased look: "Who told you to eavesdrop on our speech?

"Who are you scolding?

Seeing that the two are about to fight.

At this time, suddenly a voice sounded in the auditorium.

"Teacher Long, it's still me. I have another question: Regarding Chen Gexin, did you miss something?" Wang Yong held the microphone tightly in his hand, as if he was not ready to let go today.

Long Yingtai's face sank slightly, but he had to deal with it with a smile: "Omission?

"Oh, since Teacher Long thinks that there is nothing missing, then I will add it for Teacher Long. It is true that Chen Gexin is a rare musical genius, and it is not wrong that he died in those turbulent years. But Chen Gexin's other experience, I don't know if Mr. Long deliberately concealed it, or I didn't know, I didn't tell everyone. In 1943, Chen Gexin entered the Huaying Music Department directly under the Wang puppet government and composed a song called "Suzhou Night" to beautify the Oriental invading army at that time; in March 45, Chen Gexin composed a military song for the infamous kamikaze commando in the East; the funny thing is that after five months, Dongyang announced defeat and surrender, and Chen Gexin wrote a song "Welcoming Soldiers" that night after hearing the news, praising the martyrs of the Anti-Japanese War. Such a person, such an experience, Mr. Long concealed it, it is a bit misleading to the public, right?"

Wang Yong's voice spread far through the microphone.

Long Yingtai's face on the stage had turned pale, her usual smile had disappeared, and her eyes flashed with anger.

Just a moment later, Long Yingtai adjusted, a smile on his face again, and said: "I really don't know this history, thank you for popularizing this history for me." It's just that our theme today is songs, or songs. Next, I would like to ask you what is the most memorable enlightenment song?"

It's a pity that Long Yingtai's turn of events was too abrupt, and she couldn't hide her deliberate concealment of Chen Gexin's history just now.

Many tourists from the mainland have already frowned, and they can hear the sound of Long Yingtai.

Long Yingtai used three songs with special political connotations in a row to refer to the reflection of Sang and Huai Huai to the current Chinese government. The deliberate misinformation of the mainland government's terror and authoritarianism was conveyed to the Hong Kong tourists present, which made many Hong Kong tourists who did not know the mainland instinctively resent.

She has to give a speech today, clearly with an ulterior motive!

At that time, some mainland tourists Huo Ran got up and wanted to question Long Yingtai.

It's just that the tourist who got up was pulled by his companion.

"What are you pulling me for? If she says it openly, I won't be angry. What kind of ability is insinuation? I have to ask for clarification!"

"Don't be impulsive! I'm not trying to stop you, but I know who the man who just demolished the stage is!" said his companion.

"Who?"

"Think about it, in the news reports in the past few days, who came to Wanwan, and who happened to be in the Palace Museum?"

The tourist who got up was stunned: "You mean, Wang-"

"Shhhh Teacher Wang must be pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, I know him! Let's watch the play quietly, with Teacher Wang here, this woman will definitely not be pleased!"

The tourist who got up grinned and sat back.

Indeed, no one in this world can bargain from Mr. Wang.

deserved Long Yingtai to be unlucky, but at this moment and this place met Mr. Wang!

"My enlightenment song is the Titanic's theme song "MyHeartWillGoOn", which has had a great impact on my view of love...... "A few visitors in the front row answered Ryu's question.

"Titanic, a poignant movie. I also like this song, and I'm sure most of the people here like it too. What about you, this friend?" Long Yingtai seemed to have forgotten the embarrassment just now, and became intellectually beautiful again, like an elegant life mentor.

"My initiation song is 'Monica' by my brother because my mom loves him a lot, so now when I hear it, I think of my mom. "This is a young tourist.

"Leslie Cheung is indeed the memory of a generation, just like our theme today, a song, an era. Do you have any other friends to speak?" said Long Yingtai.

Under the raised hands of a large number of listeners to speak, the embarrassment caused by Wang Yong's demolition seemed to have disappeared.

Long Yingtai became free again, constantly commenting on the audience's enlightenment songs, intentionally or unintentionally inducing the audience to move closer to freedom, cooking, etc.

Especially mainland tourists, it is rare to get a long review of Longyingtai.

Wang Yong sneered again and again, and finally couldn't help it, took the microphone and shouted: "My enlightenment song is - "My Motherland"!"
