Approaching the National Day, the school organizes a singing contest, which requires patriotism as the theme, and original covers can be used. Every day when I go to the cafeteria, no matter morning, noon or night, I will hear the seniors talk about whether the senior sister who has won the championship of the singing contest for two consecutive years will still wear that red silk dress and sing the song "I Love You China" this year. There are also senior sisters who are discussing whether there will be a handsome band group to sing patriotic songs this year.

"Let's sign up, the song "Love When You Die"." Yanni heard a boy's teasing voice from behind her. Curiously looking back.

"Patriotic songs, which country do you love." Another boy picked up a chopstick and gently tapped the head of "Love when you die".

"Don't, you listen to me. She called "I Love You China", and I picked up "Love When You Die" for her, so she loved sincerely enough. After saying that, the people around him burst into laughter.

Yanni felt that the boy with chopsticks was a little familiar, and Yu Danqing immediately said: "This is Martin from our class, he plays the guitar well, and he was recruited by art students." I have a band, guitarist and lead singer. The one shouting to sing "Love When You Die" on the side was their drummer Gao Tiantian, and sitting opposite Martin was Liu Beisi ....... ”

"Huh? Liu Bes? What is your real name? ”

"That's right, real name, but it just so happens that he plays the bass."

"Then they are the ones who play and sing at the door of the library every day?"

"yes, haven't you seen it?"

"No, I can't see it, I'm small, you know!"

Yanni knew that she was incomplete, and she didn't care about these things at all.

On this day, Gao He asked her to make an appointment. Gao He is a native of Beijing, Yanni's classmate, and loves broadcasting and hosting, so he went to the school radio station as soon as he arrived at school. On the day of school, Gao He introduced himself, and Gao He specially paid attention to two classmates in the class who love writing, one is Du Bai and the other is Yanni.

Du Bai is a strange guy, he looks quite tall and big, but he has a special sissy when he speaks, but his talent impresses Yanni. Yanni has read several of his articles and deeply understands what it means to be ashamed. So this time Gao He came to make an appointment, Yanni held back her posture of wanting to compete with Du Bai.

The National Day came to make an appointment, which is naturally also a patriotic theme, and Yanni couldn't help but think of "Love When You Die" at noon, what a group of humorous guys.

In the past few days, for Gao He's radio script, Yanni has been soaking in the library every day after class to check materials, and whenever the guitar is played and sung outside, Yanni knows that it is time to go back to the dormitory. Every day, Tian Tian helped her cook well and put it in the dormitory, and when she went back to eat, it was already cold, but fortunately it was only early autumn, and the cold rice tasted quite delicious.

After a few days of deliberation, Yanni decided to write an article on the rapid changes of coastal open cities with the title of "Dongfang Hong", focusing on the earth-shaking changes that have taken place in the city where she lives since the reform and opening up. Then thanks to the reform and opening up, the "Pearl of the Orient" became popular and truly became the "Pearl of the Orient", and even more thanks to the reform and opening up, so that students like Yanni have more opportunities to study......

On the day the manuscript was handed over to Gao He, Yanni saw that Du Bai's manuscript was already in Gao He's hands, and it was only one step too late, Yanni thought silently.

Yanni's manuscript was broadcast on the afternoon of the 28th, and Du Bai's was broadcast on the afternoon of the 29th. Smirked.

The patriotic song contest is scheduled for 9 o'clock in the morning on September 30, and all the students of the school will go to the auditorium to participate. The host is Gao He and a sophomore senior, Yu Danqing's eyes stared at the senior for a long time, and sighed: "Handsome! But Yanni couldn't get this handsome point, in Yanni's own words: "He didn't grow on my aesthetic point!" This sentence is often ridiculed by Danqing: "Your aesthetic point is really weird!" "For a period of time in the future, people in the dormitory will call this sophomore senior "handsome guy", and people also have names, okay? It's a pity that the girls can't remember.

Yanni found out for the first time that patriotic songs are so varied and so good!

Just as he could hear it, Yu Danqing pushed Yanni with his hand: "Look, the drum kit is up, it is estimated that it is Martin and them, will it really be "Love When You Die", right?" ”

Yanni was also curious, she never heard if they signed up again, and I didn't hear what they reported! Every day, the singing outside the library is also sung in different patterns, and there is no fixed repertoire.

""Dead to Love" they really reported, but it was denied, saying that they changed to a red song, I don't know why." There was a classmate on the side who knew a little bit about the inside story.

At this time, Gao He was already standing in the center of the stage. Martin, Gao Tiantian, and Liu Beisi are already in place.

"Do you want to know what song the 'Sanmao' band sings?" Gao He deliberately sold a pass: "It's definitely not the rumored "Love When You Die", as for what it is, I don't know!" Let's let Martin say it himself! ”

Martin tried the microphone: "Now please listen to the patriotic song "Dongfang Hong"! ”

Yanni was stunned, what a coincidence, why is it also "Dongfang Hong"?

Before I had time to think about it, the sound of drums, guitars, and bass set the whole auditorium on fire, and this was an era when young people admired punk.

After their arrangement, "Dongfang Hong", under the performance of these fashionable instruments, coupled with their enthusiastic interpretation, actually has such a strong sense of the times! The words are still the same word, the song is still the same song, but the tune has been changed a little, and the difference is so big! Yanni suddenly felt that this arranger was really talented!

The stage was full of passion, the audience was full of enthusiasm, and the whole auditorium was integrated, bringing the competition to a climax. No one cares about who gets what ranking, and no one cares what others sing, the only thing I remember now is this song "Dongfang Hong".

Yanni thought that in the future, no one should talk about the senior sister who had won the championship twice, let alone what the senior sister wore this year. From this session onwards, what should be discussed should be "Sanmao" and their "Dongfanghong", right?

The result of the competition was unexpected, the champion is still the senior sister, the senior sister is from a professional class, and she sings really well, but public opinion does not depend on professionalism, it depends on whether you like it or not! "Sanmao" won a second place. When they came to the stage to accept the award, Martin and the others did not see the slightest displeasure, but they all smiled. Yanni thought, maybe they were true love, and everything else didn't matter, right?

At 12:00 noon, the game ended, and all the local people in Beijing went back for the National Day, and most of the direct trains also went home! Yanni returned to the dormitory, and her friends were already carrying their bags and preparing to go. Tian Tian's dormitory except for Fangshan District went back, and the others stayed in the school for the National Day.

The students who did not go home all met on 10.1 to see the flag-raising, in addition to the flag-raising, the most important thing for the girls is to covet the handsome brothers in the national flag class, it is difficult to go to school in Beijing, and the legendary handsome guys still have to watch. In order to be able to raise the flag in the morning, everyone prepared to go to Tiananmen Square in the evening and wait! I saw one by one preparing dry food, preparing small blankets, and some with small folding stools...... Yanni watched the excitement silently.

Everyone went out, only a few girls in Yanni and Tian Tian's dormitory were still in school, and they went back on the 2nd, there would be fewer people at that time, and these girls didn't like too crowded environments.

The next morning, the girls who had seen the handsome guys came back, and they were all dejected. Is it a handsome guy who doesn't look good? No. Is it not nice to raise the flag? No. There are a lot of people watching the flag-raising, everyone is still late, they didn't line up in the front row, naturally they didn't see the flag class, they just saw the appearance of the national flag when it was raised to the top! Yanni secretly rejoiced. I heard that it was very cold at night, and many people caught a cold.

The capital of the National Day is very lively, and although the school is in the Fourth Ring Road, you can still feel the enthusiasm of the National Day.

On the 2nd, Yanni followed Tian Tian's dormitory to clean up and stop and set off on time at nine o'clock! The bus transferred to the subway, and it took an hour and a half to finally arrive at Tiananmen Square.

Five-star red flags are hung everywhere on the road, large and small, and all kinds of patriotic songs are broadcast along the streets. The five-star red flag fluttered in the wind in front of the Tiananmen Gate Tower. It was the first time for Yanni to feel such a strong atmosphere of the National Day, and it was also the first time for her to be so nostalgic for this ancient city.

In addition to the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and the Great Hall of the People, Yanni and the others also went to the ten-mile long street and Dashilar. There are so many fun places that it gets dark in a blink of an eye, and the girls are reluctant to take the subway back to school.

The library is open as usual during the holidays, except for the day on the 2nd, Yanni is in the library at other times. Occasionally, at night, the sound of a guitar playing can be heard at the entrance of the library, but only the guitar has no bass.
