A song of red clothes dancing with white sleeves, singing the joys and sorrows of the world.

The buildings of the pear garden are like dreams, you sing and I will appear!

The fan opens and closes, the gongs and drums sound,

Listen to the love in the play,

Seeing the collapse of the building,

That's it, that's it! Let the chips fall where they may!

On the stage of Liyuan, the actor Pei Yanzhi was dressed in red and sang affectionately.

"I once saw the warbler crying in the Jinling Jade Palace, and the flowers in the Qinhuai Water Pavilion bloomed early, who knew that it would be easy to freeze! Seeing him raise the Zhu Tower, seeing him feast guests, seeing his building collapse! ”

The opera is not yet over, and the pear orchard has already lit a raging fire. The fire was fierce, spreading everywhere it went, and the smoke was filled with scorched ruins.

can be used for his singing skills in the play, and his figure is excellent! The performance was very emotional, and a group of Japanese soldiers in the front row were obsessed with it, applauding again and again, and constantly applauding.

By the time they reacted, the fire had reached the guests' seats, and now, neither did they advance nor retreat. It was only when the fire was getting closer and closer that the Japanese soldiers panicked. But when he looked back at the play on the stage, he saw that he was still calm, he sang sad and angry, and continued to sing:

"This moss and green tile pile, I have slept and slept well, and I have seen the rise and fall of fifty years. That Wuyi Lane is not surnamed Wang, the ghost of Mochou Lake cries at night, and the phoenix perches on the owl bird. The dream of the remnant mountain is the truest, the old realm is difficult to lose, I don't believe in this map change! ”

It wasn't until the last sentence of the song "A set of "Mourning Jiangnan", and sang it with a sad voice until the old ......" that he was unable to fall to the ground, and this scene was regarded as a curtain call, and the drama was also buried in the fire!

In 1937 (the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China) in Jiangxi, an incredible news appeared in the newspaper.

In Anyuan County, Jiangxi, the famous actor Pei Yanzhi, yesterday, in order to save the people of a city, he died with the Japanese and was burned to death on the stage.

As soon as this newspaper came out, it immediately spread all over the country. There are many discussions in the corners and alleys of Jiangxi.

A year later, there was heavy snow in winter

A middle-aged man wearing a robe and a horse coat came to Pei Yanzhi's cemetery with a stack of dead coins and a pot of turbid wine.

He squatted down, burning the banknotes, and said with a smile: "Senior brother! Senior brother has come to see you. Speaking of this, he sat on the ground, took a sip of turbid wine, sympathized with distress and mocked with a wry smile: "Senior brother, back then, when you were twenty years old, you collaborated with your senior brother on the song "Farewell My Concubine" and became famous in one fell swoop. And now, you and I are separated by heaven and man, and my senior brother wants to cooperate with you now, but it is even more difficult! ”

As he spoke, he took another sip of wine, and then drank bitterly one sip after another. After a long time, he stopped, and he smashed the flask heavily, drunken and angry, as if he had vented the pain he had endured in his heart for all these years.

He yelled: "Pei Yanzhi, you are stupid!" Do you think that if you become a hero in Jiangxi and save those people, they will be grateful to you? No, no, in their eyes, you are just a drama, an inconspicuous and lowly horn, no matter how good you sing, you can only be a horn! Even if you were a smash hit back then, even if you saved them, with the death of time, you can only gradually fade out of their sight, and you are buried alone in this deserted cemetery, a hundred years later, no one will know you, let alone remember you! Just like today, when I come to your grave, I am the only one! Speaking of this, the man stabilized his emotions and said calmly: "Pei Yanzhi, you were only twenty-five years old when you died, and you were in the prime of life, why did you give up your life to save them?" Is it really worth it for you to do this? After speaking, the man shed tears and walked forward without looking back.

The cold wind is howling, the snow is falling, and the white snowflakes are falling on this lonely tomb, as if to cover up the sad past of the tomb owner, and as if to reveal the legendary life of the tomb owner......

Once I got on this stage, I never thought about going back alive.

- Pei Yanzhi

The play has opened its voice, and all directions have come to listen. One side is a human, three parties are ghosts, and four parties are gods! Therefore, once the play is opened, it must be finished regardless of whether there is anyone in the audience or not. This is the rule left by our ancestors.

- Chi Ling

When you open your voice, you will finish singing. The building has collapsed, and the play is not over. The duckweed in the chaotic world endures to watch the beacon fire burn the mountains and rivers! I dare not forget my country, even if no one knows me!
