The Spring Festival Gala was held in the auditorium of the college, and it was the dream of all students to receive their graduation certificates and the sword named "National Blade" in this majestic auditorium.

The Spring Festival Gala of military academies is usually a singing performance wearing a military dress or camouflage uniform, with firearms and backpacks as the main body, occasionally interspersed with some sketches based on campus stories, and finally a chorus to end.

However, the East Courtyard is different, compared with other military academies, the Spring Festival Gala of the East Courtyard is more like a talent show. The college deliberately reduces the number of solo or choral programs, and in addition to preparing various musical instruments, the college will also purchase various clothes, props and toiletries if needed.

Of course, most of these cosmetics were used on female soldiers, and except for one who could sing Peking Opera that year, the male students used it more, and everyone else washed their faces and went directly to the stage.

Although there are many departments in the East Academy, there are many departments, but because of the small number of people and the management method, it is mainly a competition between grades and a competition between squadrons.

Although it doesn't give a collective bonus to the grade or squadron academy with a lot of programs, who doesn't want to fight for honor here? When others mention that squadron, they will say "this squadron is very strong, capable of literature and martial arts, and both moral and artistic", rather than "rude and talented, and nothing is good at it".

After dinner, except for Li He, Gao Ningchang and Mai Changlin, who participated in the performance, they went to the auditorium in advance to prepare, and the rest of the fifth squadron were taken to the auditorium by Ye Song after going to the bathroom.

Their location is near the right aisle, and the first few rows are empty for college officials and their loved ones. It is not easy for a military wife, it is rare to reunite with her husband, and this treatment is a must.

At 6:55 a.m., the whole school had already entered the school.

The big screen in the auditorium turned on and then began at seven o'clock...... News Network.

That's right, even today, there is no room for interruptions in such a daily fixture as watching news broadcasts. However, watching the news broadcast on the big screen in the auditorium has the feeling of being in a movie theater.

Today is the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, looking at the busy Spring Festival on the news and the scene of family reunion, the students feel sour. Among them, the first-year cadet, who has the shortest military experience, has not spent the Spring Festival with his family for three consecutive years.

"Thinking of relatives every festive season", a poem that I didn't feel when I was a child is extraordinarily heavy at this time.

As soon as the screen turned, from the South China Sea to the northern Xinjiang, after seeing the scene of border guards patrolling in the wind and snow, everyone felt that they were happy again, at least at the moment they were sitting in a warm auditorium, not walking on the top of the mountain.

Ye Song looked at the screen and couldn't help but think of Lao Yang of the "Lotus" in Tibet, Xiao Lei of the patrol, Ai Chuan of "3197", the instructor of "Lazela", Zhou Kun of "Nameless Lake", "Yunzhong Outpost", "Fog Outpost", the "Two Pines" on the border of Mount Everest, the "Shenxian Bay", "Little Poplar" and "Lao Fengkou" in the territory, Senior Brother Mo who has been watching the "West Gate" for more than ten years, and countless border guards.

Despite the hardship, there are no regrets!

After the news broadcast ended, the big screen was replaced with a picture of several students aiming at guns, and in the center there were several big silver characters "Dragon and Tiger Leaping to Celebrate the New Year", and below was a line of small characters "Oriental Military Academy Spring Festival Gala".

All the trainees stood up, and the leading cadres and their relatives and families slowly entered.

At eight o'clock, the party officially began.

The male host of the party is Xu Fengtang, a young cadre of the Political Department of the college, and the female host is Yang Jie, the youngest teacher of optoelectronic information.

The two walked quickly to the center of the stage in military uniforms and saluted.

The opening remarks were extremely brief, and there was no introduction to the lines of "fork fork and fork leader" at all, and after a few sensational words, the show was officially announced.

The first program was an opening dance specially prepared by the young faculty members and graduate students of the college. A large group of beauties dressed in pleasing costumes instantly ignited the atmosphere of the party.

The first-year cadets have never seen this kind of scene since they joined the army, and the applause is difficult to vent their inner excitement at the moment, and they want to scream, stand up and whistle and scream, but considering that there are leaders sitting in front, it may be a bit unruly to do so, so they can only sit in the position and applaud wildly.

The second and third graders behaved a little strangely, applauding but occasionally sweeping their eyes to the front row.

At this moment, Hu Yan Shijiang, who was in the front row, stood up, he turned around and smiled at everyone, and then suddenly whistled in front of everyone, and then shouted cheers.

Before the first-year students could react, the second- and third-year students stood up and screamed, whistled, and applauded wildly.

Seeing them so crazy, the first-year students suddenly realized that they were waiting for the principal's signal!

Tang Dewei, who was sitting in the first row, glanced at Shan Jiting, shook his head with a wry smile.

When everyone was boiling, Dou Miao stood up and poked his head out and looked around for a long time, but he didn't find Chen Mu among them.

The second program was a male vocal quartet of second-year students. The four of them were roommates from the same university before joining the army, and they agreed to join the army after their freshman year. Although the enlistment location was different, two years later, he was admitted to the East Courtyard at the same time. Their story is well-known in the East Courtyard, and even appeared in the military newspaper later.

As soon as they used to be in the music department opened their mouths, they instantly won warm applause from everyone.

The third program is the acrobatic performance of the third-year students, the students of the fifth squadron saw Gao Ningchang appear, they all stood up and cheered in unison, although obviously they did not deliberately arrange the position, but they felt that Lao Gao was the core of the whole performance, it was the C position!

After the props of the acrobatic performance were removed, Xu Fengtang said in a deep voice: "Let's invite Mai Changlin, a student of the fifth squadron of the first grade, to sing "Nanshan Nan" for everyone. Please applaud and welcome. ”

Bang Bang Bang ......

There was applause, no more, no less. Except for the first year students, who are more serious, the second and third years are just courtesy encouragement.

Dou Miao applauded and said to Ye Song, who was sitting next to him: "Replace "Ordinary Road" with "Nanshan Nan" to pass the review?" ”

Ye Song shrugged, "I don't know, maybe it's a judge."

I like this song. ”

The stage light gradually dimmed, Mai Changlin sat in the center with a guitar, and various pictures appeared on the large screen behind him. Relatives waved the green train away, various training in the barracks, the smoke of the ironclad torrent on the exercise ground, the anti-terrorist warriors in the Gobi in northern Xinjiang, the demining elites in the rainforests in the south, the defenders of Mount Everest in the snow-capped mountains in the west, and the wave-breaking warships in the East China Sea.

"You're in a distant homeland, waiting for me to return"

"I am in the rain of guns and bullets, bloody killing"

"As long as the flames of war are burned out for a day, I will still be a soldier for a day"

"Please forgive me for not being able to tell me the return date"

There was a dead silence in the auditorium.

Ye Song's pupils shrank, and then nodded approvingly.

No wonder it passed the review, but I didn't expect Mai Changlin to sing the military version of "Nanshan Nan". Everyone is a soldier, and this song can be said to hit the nail on the head.

"I haven't heard from my hometown for a long time"

"I don't know if my family is okay with you"

"A few good brothers have gone in a battle today"

"Even when we talk about death, we are still afraid"

"I do not seek any meritorious deeds"

"Just to defend your hometown and protect you"

"Fight with all your life till you die"

"History will not remember my name"

"You're the only one left crying for me"

"The sun rises as usual in the Motherland"

"South Mountain, South Mountain, North Autumn Sadness"

"There are ashes in Nanshan"

"The South Wind Murmurs, the North Sea North"

"There are tombstones in the North Sea"

At the end of the song, everyone, including the leader, stood up and applauded like thunder.
