Chapter 10 Learning the National Anthem
In the early morning, the rising sun poked out half of its head like a child. Bright sunlight shines through the gaps in the dense foliage, forming beams of thick and thin pillars of light. The veil-like mist was lifted like a curtain, and in an instant, the blue sky was completely reflected in front of me.
Today is Friday, which means that today is a holiday. After staying in the tense atmosphere of school for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be a feeling of wanting to relax. Indeed, people are not machines, and it is impossible to be busy all the time without feeling tired. Relax when it's time to relax. Let go of all baggage and calm your mind! Experience the beauty of this world.
Twice a week, music lessons will be held in the afternoon. When I think of Mr. Xia, the corners of the students' mouths will rise unconsciously, and among all the subjects, Mr. Xia's personality is the gentleest. And what the students are looking forward to the most is Teacher Xia's music class.
With a "crunch", Mr. Xia slowly pushed open the door. After seeing the expectant expressions of her classmates, the corners of her mouth also rose slightly, and the smile lingered in everyone's hearts and could not be erased for a long time.
"Students, have you forgotten what I said last time? Singing is all about singing! Teacher Xia said with a kind smile.
Suddenly, the chorus of the classmates sounded in the class: "Meet in the sea of people, gather and scatter outside the reunion~ Wake up on the windowsill, wait for the moonlight to shine ~ Don't be too sad, I believe that fate is still there~~."

At the time of a song, everyone was a little drowsy and drowsy, and the enthusiasm of the students was sung, and everyone couldn't help laughing when they sang it. For a while, the atmosphere in the class was unprecedentedly harmonious.
"Everyone sang so nicely, by the way, students, I want to announce one thing. Yesterday, I received a notice from the principal that the school will hold a flag-raising ceremony from next week, and the national anthem will be sung at the flag-raising ceremony! Today, let's learn about our country's national anthem, "March of the Volunteers"," Mr. Xia said with a smile.
"March of the Volunteers" is a song written by Tian Han and composed by Nie Er, which is the theme song of the movie "Children of the Storm", known as the clarion call for the liberation of the Chinese nation, since its birth in 1935 at the juncture of national danger, it has played a huge role in inspiring the patriotic spirit of the Chinese people, and later became the national anthem of the People's Republic of China. You'll learn that in the language textbooks later. Teacher Xia said as she picked up the chalk and copied the lyrics on the blackboard.
The students are also smart, and everyone is quite concerned about the national anthem. Because it is the Motherland that has always sheltered all people on our territory and given us the comfort of peacetime.
Our motherland has also had a history of humiliation and dark years, but she has always had an unyielding will. She was like a sleeping dragon. When disaster comes, it will open its long-sealed eyes and burst out with earth-shattering combat power!
The peace of the motherland and the people is due to the fact that countless heroes have built a steel barrier on the front line with their own blood and bones! In order to defend against foreign enemies, I don't know how many compatriots of the people were sacrificed. They are all heroes, and they are all people to be admired.
Since I was a child, my parents have taught me that the rise and fall of a country is the responsibility of a husband. The prosperity and prosperity of the motherland are entirely the result of the joint efforts of thousands of heroes. For what, so that thousands of compatriots can live in this era of love and care and peace!
So, since I was a child, I had the desire to be a soldier, and this desire has always inspired me. Unfortunately, it backfired, and for various reasons, this grand dream could not be realized. And this has become a big regret in my life.
However, my love for my motherland has not diminished because I failed to realize my dream, but has become stronger with time.
And the national anthem "March of the Volunteers" is like a war song composed in that era to awaken the "dragon". It is this war song that awakens the will of thousands of compatriots and awakens the "sleeping dragon"! It is precisely because of this that we have now a prosperous era of peace!
"Get up! People who don't want to be slaves! Build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall!
The Chinese nation has reached the most dangerous time,
Everyone was forced to let out a final roar.
Get up! Get up! Get up!
We are all of one,
Braving enemy fire, advance!
Braving enemy fire, advance!
Advance! Forward, Forward! ”
The magnificent and shocking lyrics were "carved" on the blackboard by Mr. Xia. In just a few lines, Mr. Xia's forehead was almost sweaty.
The lyrics are written very carefully stroke by stroke, and the vigorous and powerful font does not seem to be written by a weak female teacher at all. It can be seen that Mr. Xia really tried his best to write this lyric.
In this class, everyone was a little serious. Although it is still young, you can feel the tragic atmosphere from the national anthem. What kind of disaster can push a country to that point? What kind of faith brought the motherland back from the ashes of that catastrophe?
Faith, the national anthem, has become the faith of the people and the indelible spirit of history! People need uplifting, desperate faith to support the fire in their hearts, because of this great faith, they love their motherland even more, and they are ready to die for their country at any time.
In order to appear solemn and solemn, Mr. Xia didn't even use the tape recorder today, but taught us to sing by himself. With her stubborn voice, she teaches us how to sing that indomitable will.
Following Mr. Xia's high-pitched singing over and over again, everyone's emotions were slowly ignited.
Although I have not studied history yet, I don't know what kind of suffering the motherland experienced at that time. But the solemnity and solemnity in the teacher's mood can still be felt.
Even the few students who were casual at the beginning gradually became serious, and while singing loudly with Teacher Xia, it seemed that a fire was burning in their hearts, and unconsciously, the voices of the students almost broke through the sky. Even the sparrows in the big trees outside the window were startled and flapped their wings and took off.
The melodious recess bell rang twice unconsciously, and if it weren't for Mr. Wang, who pushed the door, everyone would not have realized that it was time for the next class.
"Everyone sings well, keep up the good work!" Teacher Wang first nodded to Teacher Xia, and then smiled at the students.
It seems that Mr. Wang is still very satisfied with the performance of his classmates in the past few days. Otherwise, if you get angry twice in a row, you won't have a smile on your face so quickly.
"Students, you have performed very well, I look forward to you shining at the flag-raising ceremony next week, when the whole school will sing together, our class must perform a little brightly, come on!" Teacher Xia first smiled back at Teacher Wang, and then waved his fist at us.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xia, we will definitely do our best!" The students said in unison.
"Okay, everyone who wants to go to the toilet should hurry up, it's class time now." Teacher Wang also smiled.
As soon as they heard Mr. Wang's words, the students rushed out of the classroom one by one, regardless of whether they went to the toilet or not, they went out to run around first......
