Chapter 100: Establishing Position in One fell swoop!
"On the Taihang Mountain", this is definitely a classic among the classics.
This song was composed in July 1938 on Another Earth, and is a chorus composed by the legendary Chinese composer Xian Xinghai for the bloody struggle against the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in Jin Province.
After the song was written, when it was premiered in Han~kou during the Anti-Japanese War, countless people applauded loudly and applauded continuously, and then spread throughout China, greatly boosting the morale of the military and civilians across the country.
When this song was first written and not launched, the second chief of the Chinese wartime sang with Xian Xinghai in person, and the other chief copied the lyrics and carried them with him, which is legendary.
At that time, countless heroic sons and daughters listened to this song and went forward one after another, rushing to the battlefield to defend the country and fighting tenaciously against the invaders.
The expression of the song needs to be circumstantial, so that it can resonate the most.
And this moment may not be the war years, maybe the 'audience' in front of them has not experienced the war, but the old generals in front of them who are singing a chorus have experienced it.
The same singing voice has different effects when it is sung from different people's mouths, and the group of old generals in front of them are obviously singing with great impact.
They are witnesses of history, they are veteran generals who came out of the war, and their songs are full of the vicissitudes of history, the struggle of China, and the determination and courage of countless soldiers and civilians in those years.
Although the old general's choir sang this song for the first time, although it was not too proficient, the momentum was enough to cover everything.
Just look at the expressions of these old generals when they sing together, with their heads held high and passionate, not at all like a group of old men who are seventy-eight years old on average, but more like a group of unyielding fire heroes in the war.
A little tragic and exciting, the strong determination of the Chinese people not to give in, perfectly displayed, so that every audience is extremely excited, but also surging.
"What kind of song is this!"
"I feel as if I have seen a picture of all the people defending China during the Anti-Japanese War, they are real generals!"
The applause was thunderous, and the customers in the restaurant couldn't help but ask, looking at the group of old generals.
Even a few foreign customers at the restaurant were similar, "Oh my gosh!"
A group of seventy or eighty-year-old veteran generals sang in chorus, and a sixty-year-old veteran general played the piano excitedly to accompaniment.
To be honest, not to mention the classic song "On Taihang Mountain" in this scene, even if you sing a song casually, this picture is very impactful.
Subconsciously, some customers who didn't recognize Zhang Jiangang thought that Zhang Jiangang was also an old general, after all, Zhang Jiangang's spirit was also very strong and very aura.
"It's so cool! I'm going to post it on Facebook!" When some domestic viewers excitedly posted the video they recorded in front of them on the Internet or the circle of friends, those foreigners were similar, muttering excitedly about to post it on foreign social platforms.
The art of music is universal, and it will not be dusted because the lyrics and language are not understood. It's like many people can't understand the meaning of the lyrics in an English song, but it doesn't prevent them from liking the song and even resonating with it, this is the art of music.
And songs like "On the Taihang Mountain" are even stronger.
Anyway, the video recorded by these customers today went viral when it was posted on the Internet.
Not only at home, but also abroad.
These veteran generals, with an average age of seventy-eight years old, gave them a different kind of shock and passion. Young people are even more lamenting on the Internet, lamenting that the veterans are not dying, and lamenting that the Chinese sons and daughters of China have gone forward and succeeded each other during the Anti-Japanese War, and the magnificent and triumphant song.
And this is just the beginning, about ten days later, Zhang Jiangang is also on fire. Or with the help of the 80th anniversary party of the founding of the Chinese Army, the chorus of more than 60 veteran generals exploded again, and Zhang Jiangang became popular again.
There are only a few people at the Shangra Hotel, but the party is a choir of 60 people of the old generals and the descendants of the old generals, and it will be star-studded!
In the hotel, it is only a piano accompaniment, but the party scene is the top symphony orchestra accompaniment of the Huaxia Military Orchestra, which is like a rainbow and shocking!
More than 60 people in the choir, tenor, alto, harmony, audio-visual feast!
Even Zhang Jiangang, who was attended as a special guest at the party, attracted countless eyes and countless amazements.
Because at the party more than ten days later, with the introduction of the host:
"Next, please enjoy the song "We Are Soldiers" brought by the veteran general's choir for everyone! Lyrics, Zhang Jiangang, composer, Zhang Jiangang!"
Next, please enjoy the lyrics of the song "The Motherland Has Not Forgotten" brought by the veteran general's choir...... Composer, Zhang Jiangang!"
"Below, there is still "On the Taihang Mountain" created by the famous lyricist and composer Mr. Zhang Jiangang!"

"Next...... lyrics for "The Soul of the Chinese Army" and composed by Zhang Jiangang!"
"Below...... "Defending the Yellow River" brought by the veteran general's choir to everyone, with lyrics...... Composer, Zhang Jiangang!" At the party scene, the host was passionate.
Not to mention the audience at the scene, even the audience in front of the TV was conquered by Comrade Zhang Jiangang!
The veteran general's choir sang a total of eight songs, all of which were written and composed by Zhang Jiangang! The most important thing is that each song is a classic, an inspiring one, a magnificent atmosphere, and the kind of song that makes people's hearts surging and shows the spirit of Chinese soldiers!
It can be seen that the program team of this party attaches great importance to it and gives the choir 8 pieces of performance time, on the one hand, the status and qualifications of these old generals are there, and there are more than 60 people, of course, it is still quality.
I'm convinced, I'm really convinced!
This Uncle Zhang, this is a one-person contractor for a choir!
With the host announcing the curtain and the live TV screen scrolling again and again, the audience at the party looked at Zhang Jiangang sitting in the guest seat again and again, and the camera was aimed at Zhang Jiangang again and again.
At the end, the audience couldn't help but exclaim a little.
Even if his face is as thick as Zhang Jiangang, Comrade Zhang's face is red.
"Don't shoot me, don't shoot me, I don't produce water, I'm just a porter of nature. Comrade Zhang thought embarrassedly.
The audio-visual feast of military songs and revolutionary songs is definitely an audio-visual feast!
Although the vast majority of people have not experienced that era, from tonight's performances and songs, everyone felt the fighting will of the Chinese military and civilians of that era, and felt the high patriotic enthusiasm and indomitable spirit!
To be honest, there are not too many young people watching this party, at least there are much fewer viewers than the Spring Festival Gala that has become more and more disappointing over the years.
However, every audience who watched it did not regret it, and the most impressive and enjoyable thing for them was naturally the performance of the old general's choir.
And although many people didn't watch it, after word of mouth, there were still countless young people who took the initiative to search for tonight's performance of the Old General's Choir on the Internet.
At the same time, Comrade Zhang Jiangang of the old Zhang Jiangang became popular, one night, a party, Comrade Zhang Jiangang established the status of the first person in Chinese military songs and revolutionary songs in one fell swoop!
From today onwards, Zhang Jiangang will be the first brother of the Chinese military and revolutionary songs! Oh no, a master!
Unshakable, really unshakable.
