The Spring Festival of 1913 was approaching soon, and the people of the autonomous region, who had been busy for a year, began to buy New Year's goods on the streets in an endless stream with the expectation of the New Year. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn addition to buying New Year's goods, the most talked about is naturally the movie posters that have been posted everywhere in the streets and alleys recently.
In this era of admiring heroes, many people are attracted by the majestic image of the People's Army soldier holding a steel gun and standing under the military flag on the poster. Although people have become accustomed to the radio stations established by the self-government, they have never felt more new to this legendary film. In addition, the reason why movie tickets are not very expensive has made many people with gradually wealthy families have the idea of going to see it.
The movie "Heroic Sons and Daughters" is based on the combat deeds of the 8th Regiment of the 3rd Division of the People's Army in the war in Myanmar as the central clue, and truly reproduces a series of heroic stories that happened in Myanmar during the People's Army's war against Britain. Because it was to be released before the Spring Festival, it took only three months for the People's Army Film Studio to complete the filming and post-editing and production of this film that uses the world's most advanced simultaneous dubbing technology at the same time.
In this turbulent era of advocating rejuvenation, for the cadres and masses under the autonomous government, almost every one of them is now burning with the leakage of battle and the passion for construction in their chests. Their leaders always like to refer to certain aspects of their work as "battle fronts", and for the people in the film studio, the film production is naturally regarded by them as a battle on the literary front.
On January 13, Xiao Mubai, who was invited to watch the premiere of "Children of Heroes", took his wife Jiang Anna, accompanied by Shen Bingkun, Zhao Mingchuan, as well as the Minister of Culture and the mayor of Chengdu, into the newly built cinema in Chengdu. Those who can watch the premiere of the movie are naturally not ordinary people. The audience, which was attended by more than 2,000 people, were all leading figures from the autonomous government, representatives of the People's Army, celebrities in the cultural circles, people from the business circles, and outstanding representatives from various work fronts.
There were no ribbon-cutting ceremonies, no speeches, and the code of conduct of the self-government was now as concise and capable as its leader.
The lights in the cinema began to go out one by one. When the entire space was about to fall into complete darkness, a pillar of blue-white light suddenly projected onto the huge screen in front of it.
When the film begins, the first thing that sounds is naturally a rousing KPA march music, and at the same time there is the logo of the KPA film studio. Then, it's a simple subtitle and a list of participants. Soon, the feature film also began.
What appeared on the screen was a green military column with a long whistle blazing and speeding south. Inside the carriage were the officers and men of the regiment who were constantly singing military songs. The expressions of the officers and men were joyful, serious, or nervous, although they varied, but there was not a trace of fear in sight. And one of them, a young warrior who looked very young and didn't seem to be an adult, was constantly asking various questions to the warriors around him:
"Platoon commander, do you think I can also go to the military academy."
"Platoon commander, you say, can we defeat the British."
"Platoon commander, do you say that the people know that we are there to defend them."
"Platoon commander, you said that if we died in Burma, would the people remember us?"
For the little soldier, maybe every officer will be the kind of person who knows everything about astronomy and geography, even if the cadet next to him is only carrying a red card on his shoulder, but in the eyes of the little soldier, he is also an officer.
The little warrior's words are short and simple, but they are full of his love for life and yearning for the future. These young people in their twenties should have been the future of China, and they should have been at the age of surging anger and passionate writing, but at this time, because of the safety of the country, they had to set foot on the battlefield without hesitation with nostalgia for youth and loyalty to the country. Thinking about this, the audience in the theater, those who are elderly, suddenly sighed in their hearts.
The film continues, and the officers and soldiers on the military column soon arrived in Yunnan and rushed to Myanmar all the way. As the main force of the division, the regiment naturally became the vanguard of the whole division after entering Burma, and the officers and men of the regiment fought tenaciously and bravely, attacking one after another, successively defeating the Anglo-Burmese army, the British and Indian troops, and even the British army, and achieved a series of victories.
"The movie is good, it looks very real." Seeing this, Xiao Mubai nodded to Shen Bingkun who was sitting beside him.
"Yes! Myanmar's victory was not easy to come by," Shen Bingkun also sighed, he had this idea before.
After listening to this, Xiao Mubai paused before continuing: "Although we are still very poor, still very backward, and there are still many unsatisfactory places, as long as we need to work hard, through development and construction, it will be a matter of time before we catch up with the great powers. ”
The two of them were chatting here, and the plot over there quickly changed. As a new campaign organized by the KPA had begun, the officers and men of the regiment were ordered by the division commander to capture and defend a small place called Prome. But what no one expected was that soon after, it would be in such a small place that it would become the key point of the entire battle and the place where the British army would attack with heavy troops.
The picture on the screen kept flashing, as the battle progressed, the balance of victory seemed to have tilted in favor of the People's Army, but at this time, the unexpected came, and the British army rushed to the battlefield in advance, and the direction of their attack was officially the Prome defended by the regiment. At this time, the division commander gave a rather severe order to the commander of the regiment.
"The position your regiment is in now is very dangerous, but that place is now crucial to the development of the whole situation. I don't have any extra troops to replenish you now, and it is precisely because I believe in the combat effectiveness of your regiment that I can rest assured that you will stay there! Whatever method you use, your regiment must hold out for six days, this is the order! If you can't hold it, then don't come back to see me!" ”
"Resolutely complete the task!"
An extremely simple order was full of the helplessness and resoluteness of the superiors, but it also vividly demonstrated the fierceness and tenacity of the officers and men of the people's army.
On the screen, the tragic battle of Prome Guard began. The suffocating battle scenes show the loyalty, bravery, fortitude, and tenacity of the officers and men of the Eighth Regiment, the perseverance and courage of the regiment commander as commander, and the shameless face of the British invading army. The officers and soldiers of the regiment, who suffered heavy casualties, finally waited for reinforcements after holding on for five days and five nights, and the whole battle was victorious.
For those who are watching movies for the first time, all kinds of emotions are also changing with the development of the plot and the change of images on the screen. When they knew that the British army had one division and the KPA only one regiment, they couldn't help but exclaim; When they saw that the People's Army had easily won its first victory, they let out a relaxed laugh; When they found that the British soldiers were charging frantically towards the defenders' positions like locusts, all they could be nervous about was the sound of rapid breathing; When they found that the familiar figures that had been flashing on the screen before were gradually falling on the positions that they had repeatedly fought with the British, they began to burst into tears; And in the end, when they recognized that the soldier who had broken his leg on the battlefield and was still holding a walkie-talkie and shouting "For victory, fire at me" was the little soldier at the beginning of the film, they could no longer suppress their cries.
The light and shadow on the screen were still flickering, and at this time, Jiang Anna, who was sitting next to Xiao Mubai, had long been crying. At this time, she couldn't take care of her image anymore. Not only her, everyone was crying, and the audience who watched the film burst into tears.
At the end of the movie, at the performance specially celebrated the success of the troupe, a female soldier from the General Political Art Troupe gently sang the theme song of the movie. The singing voice and the lyrics that appear on the screen quickly transform into a powerful force under the excitement of people, a force that seems to be able to suppress the heartbeat!
"The beacon smoke is billowing and singing heroes, and the green mountains on all sides listen and listen
On a sunny day, thunder beats the golden drum, and the sea waves make a harmony
The people's fighters drove away tigers and leopards, and sacrificed their lives to protect peace
Why is the battle flag so picturesque, and the blood of heroes stains her red
Why is the earth always in spring, and the life of heroes blooms flowers?
······”
The passionate singing voice continued to reach the ears of every audience, and their minds kept reminding them of the scenes from the previous movies. It seems that it was at this time that they saw those, the young people who had fought bloodily for this lovely and weak country in Myanmar.
The people outside the movie theater watched in surprise at the dignitaries who left the stage in twos and threes, wiping tears as they walked. They didn't see the side of Prime Minister Shen Bingkun, who knew the mandate of heaven, crying silently; They also didn't see the tearful side of the gentle and demure leader's wife, Jiang Anna; They didn't even see the side of Xiao Mubai, their supreme leader who had always shown perseverance, with tears in his eyes.
In the following days, the film "Heroic Children" began to be staged in various places under the jurisdiction of the autonomous government. Starting from the cities, it was brought to the countryside by the screening team of the Ministry of Culture and Education, and then to the more remote mountainous areas and ethnic minority settlements. The 450,000,000 Chinese people, an entire generation, or even two generations, have been moved and inspired by this epoch-making film and its theme song.
