The evening of December 31.

The long-awaited New Year's Gala is about to begin.

On this day, the whole campus was lit up everywhere, especially the auditorium of the office building.

The auditorium was built in 1926, it was the main building when the school was first built, and the unicorn and Danqi in front of the building were all relics of the Old Summer Palace, as well as a pair of Huabiao built in the seventh year of Qianlong.

The Great Hall was built magnificently, and there were thousands of seats inside the auditorium, but how many people are in the entire auditorium today? Not only the original seats, but even the aisles and the aisles on the second floor were crowded with students of all grades, everyone wearing their best clothes and beaming with joy on their faces, because today is not only a New Year's Eve party, but also an important day to send off the 70s and welcome the arrival of the new 80s.

In later generations, the hall was renovated to add to the atmosphere of the times. Now the auditorium basically maintains its original appearance both inside and outside, and when I walked into the auditorium, I saw that the auditorium was crowded with people, and Song Yuanchao felt a vigorous atmosphere like the students.

The seats are roughly divided according to the grade, but many students do not sit like this, those who come early call friends to sit together, and those who come late can only find a place to sit down. Later, there was no place to sit, so I could only stand in the aisle or go up to the second floor and lean on the long railing, talking with three or five people, looking with great interest at the stage that had been arranged and the curtain was drawn.

Song Yuanchao arrived with Lin Yan, because Song Yuanchao and they had a performance program, so their position was a little closer to the right, and in front of them was the position of the school leaders and teachers, some of the older teachers with gray hair had already taken their seats, looking at the stage in front of them with a smile, looking forward to the start of the performance.

When the bell rang at 19 o'clock in the evening, the curtain of the stage slowly opened, and the two hosts walked to the microphone, and first reviewed the glory of Beijing Normal University in a warm and emotional tone, and then reviewed the ups and downs of these years, and then officially announced the start of the party.

Without the leader's speech, although the whole party was less solemn, it added a bit of lively atmosphere.

The first program set off a climax, this is "Yan Yuan Love" sung by the seniors of the 77 departments, Lin Yan is also on stage today, she is not the lead singer, standing on the left side of the second row, everyone in the crowd is wearing the same costumes and makeup, but Song Yuanchao saw Lin Yan in the crowd at a glance, and saw the muse in his mind.

"The snow in the Red Mansion is ...... heroic for a while."

The music sounded, and the crisp voice of a leading girl began to start, and when the second sentence was sung, the leading boy sang lyrically inserted: "Remember the past and say goodbye, Yangguan is a thousand stacks...... ”

Soon, the chorus sounded at the same time: "We are from the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Yangtze River, and we are in love with the towns and countryside. We walked to the end of the cape, pointing to the three mountains and five mountains. Today, we use our youth to complete our homework. Tomorrow, we will become a forest of giant trees, and China will shock the world....... ”

As the singing echoed in the auditorium, all the students, including the teachers, couldn't help but stand up together and sing along with the music: "Yan Yuan love, thousands of knots, ask the young man about his heart, the unnamed water in his eyes, and the Yellow River and the moon in his chest ......." ”

A song "Yan Yuan Love" was sung three times until the music gradually died down, and the entire auditorium fell into silence. Suddenly, the warm applause sounded like a volcanic eruption, and the eyes of countless people sparkled, and the hearts of all of them were filled with incomparable pride and pride and firm belief in the future.

After the performance, Lin Yan quickly stepped off the stage, and she squeezed back to her seat from the crowd on tiptoe.

"It's so good to sing!" Song Yuanchao looked at Lin Yan, who was slightly sweaty on her face, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped it off for her, and said with heartfelt emotion.

"I'm a member of the chorus, and you can hear how well I'm singing with so many people?" Lin Yan looked at Song Yuanchao with a smile and asked.

"Of course, no matter how many people can't hide your voice, I think you are actually better than the classmates who lead the singing, and you should be allowed to lead the singing." Song Yuanchao whispered to Lin Yan, Lin Yan's face suddenly turned red, and he quietly twisted him, although Song Yuanchao had a pain in the back of his hand, he didn't care at all, but looked at Lin Yan happily.

"By the way, what about Xiaoyun? Why didn't you see her? There were too many classmates around, and it seemed that Lin Yan was a little unaccustomed to sprinkling dog food like this, so she deliberately diverted the topic and asked.

"Sit in the back, this girl came late, you just went up to prepare for me to see her, let her come and sit unwillingly, don't you get together with a few classmates." Song Yuanchao stretched out his hand and pointed at the back, following the direction of Song Yuanchao's finger, Lin Yan quickly found Li Xiaoyun's figure, this girl was crowded together with several female classmates in their class, giggling and not knowing what they were talking about, the strange thing was that Luo Yang was actually there next to them.

However, it was a little far away, and Lin Yan couldn't hear what they were talking about, anyway, they looked interested. At this time, the announcer began to report the next program, Lin Yan turned his head and watched the performance with Song Yuanchao.

The chorus was followed by a poetry recitation, performed by students from the Chinese Department of Class 78.

This classmate took the stage to recite Gorky's "Haiyan", his recitation was full of emotion, making people seem to see the petrel shuttling in the air in the majestic poem, and felt that the petrel was fearless in the face of the storm, just like a black elf shuttling through the wind and rain, facing difficulties and ...... momentum.

When the last high sentence fell off the syllable, the scene also resounded with a warm applause, although the applause did not last for a full number of minutes like the chorus just now, but also made the recitation of the students very happy, he solemnly bowed to the teachers and students in the audience, and then walked to the backstage.

"The next program is an excerpt from the classical Greek tragedy 'Oedipus', which was jointly performed by the history students of the 77th and 78th grades." When the announcer reported the content of the next program, the scene suddenly boiled.

The Greek classical tragedy "Oedipus", this is a very famous drama, although many students do not know about it, but there are also many students who know about this drama, many people do not believe their ears at all, today's party will actually stage this tragedy? Even if it's an excerpt from one of them.

But when the curtain slowly opened at the back, everyone clearly saw several students who were already standing in various places on the stage, these students were wearing ancient Greek robes and costumes, and they had golden wigs on their heads.

Among them, the prophet's robe was red, he held a stick, and his granddaughter, dressed in white, snuggled up to him. The queen's robe was creamy white and she wore a golden crown on her head. King Oedipus has the most ornate robes, with dark robes trimmed with gold trim and a golden scepter in his hand, ...... symbolizing authority.

The appearance of these characters made everyone look at the stage intently, looking forward to their wonderful performances.

Speaking of "Oedipus", I am afraid that many people do not know, but when it comes to the drama "Thunderstorm", almost no one does not know. In fact, the storyline of the latter is borrowed from the former, but compared with the latter, "Oedipus" is more critical and has a more fruitless dissection of human nature.

When the performance began, some of the teachers sitting in the front row watched the performance of their classmates with great interest, but a few of them showed very unhappy expressions, but everyone did not pay attention to this, and almost all of them turned their eyes to the stage, gradually immersed in the charm of this great drama.

Twenty minutes later, when the excerpt was completed and the performers bowed to the audience, a thunderous applause suddenly rang out, and many students and teachers couldn't help but stand up and applaud the wonderful performance of the students on stage with excited and encouraging smiles.

Lin Yan, who was sitting below, unconsciously moistened the corners of her eyes, and a tear quietly slipped down her cheek.

"It's a great act!" Lin Yan couldn't help but sigh, in fact, the expressions of the classmates on stage could not be said to be good, due to the lack of preparation for rehearsals and the fact that they were not professional in drama, their performances could only be said to be reluctant, but they performed the essence and conflicts in the play, which made people ignore these shortcomings.

In this era, it is unprecedented to be able to perform such a drama in public, so that many students intuitively feel the charm and influence of art for the first time, and Lin Yan is one of them.

"It's very good, but it's a pity that there is only one scene." Song Yuanchao also sighed on the side, how good it would be if he could watch the whole drama.

"You have to be careful." Suddenly, Lin Yan whispered to Song Yuanchao.

Song Yuanchao showed a puzzled expression.

"Look, the performances are so exciting, what should I do when I talk about you not being brilliant?" Lin Yan asked deliberately with a smile in her eyebrows.

"Ouch, this is really difficult, isn't it a shame?" Song Yuanchao patted his forehead and made a sad face, and asked: "If you don't swallow, how about I find a reason to hide from you?" I'll run away later, and when people want to ask, they will say that I have a bad stomach and can't go on stage? ”

Hearing Song Yuanchao say this, Lin Yan's eyes suddenly widened, with an incredible expression, but she quickly understood that Song Yuanchao was deliberately teasing her, so angry that Lin Yan unceremoniously twisted it directly, making Song Yuanchao grin.

"Tap, how can you go on stage if this is going to be wrung up?" Song Yuanchao rubbed his arm and complained, seeing Lin Yan glance at him, Song Yuanchao leaned close to Lin Yan's ear and said with a smile: "Don't worry, where can you be so useless to me?" You won't be disappointed when the time comes. ”

The show continued, and the next few programs were not as amazing as they were at first, but they were not bad, and soon it was Song Yuanchao's turn to show their class, which was the cross talk performance of Yang Zhengqing and Sun Yaoliang.

Today, Lao Yang and Sun Yaoliang deliberately wore a long shirt, Lao Yang was originally tall and burly, but this long shirt did not show his literary temperament but showed his strength, not like a literati, but a bit like a thug in the old society.

As for Sun Yaoliang, it is even more funny, his long shirt is very ill-fitting, it looks like he is a size larger, coupled with his thin and long sharp-beaked monkey gills, everyone's first impression at a glance is that he looks like a dog in the movie.
