The longed-for village system

Chapter 195 The Five-Starred Red Flag Fluttering in the Wind
Some of them also found that the person on stage looked familiar, but they couldn't see him clearly because he was sitting sideways.

At that moment, a group of people arrived at the main entrance of the square. Some of them were even holding cameras and filming. Judging from their appearance, they were obviously reporters from CCTV conducting interviews and filming. Other TV stations would definitely not be allowed to enter the area.

They seemed to have heard the commotion at the side door and followed the sound. Just then, Chen Qing finished the prelude to his performance and began to sing.

Five-star red flag fluttering in the wind
How loud the victory song is!
Sing our dear motherland

From this day forward to prosperity and strength
Sing our dear motherland

From this day forward to prosperity and strength
The rousing rhythm and soaring vocals instantly drew the attention of everyone around, even the police officers on duty nearby turned their gaze in this direction.

Everyone's first impression was that the song was very fitting for the occasion. Singing "The Five-Starred Red Flag Fluttering in the Wind" under the fluttering five-starred red flag, and the song was also an original song. Now they were completely sure that this song did not exist before.

The show's VJ instinctively pointed the camera at Chen Qing, and no one stopped him from doing so. Even their conversation was put on hold, and everyone's attention was focused on the young man on the stage.

Crossing mountains and plains
Crossing the surging Yellow River and Yangtze River

vast and beautiful land

Our beloved hometown
The heroic people have stood up
We are united, loving, and as strong as steel.
Chen Qing's singing continued, and every lyric seemed to resonate with everyone's hearts. People held up the five-star red flag and swayed gently to the rhythm.

Chen Qing even sang a cappella during one of the choruses, after which the tempo increased and sped up again.

We are hardworking, we are brave

Independence and freedom are our ideals
We have overcome so many hardships

Only then did we achieve liberation today.
We love peace, we love our hometown.

Anyone who dares to violate us will be killed.

If the lyrics were merely narrating the events before, this section is a portrayal and reflection of their modern life and experiences, a powerful intensification that instantly touches the patriotic strings in everyone's hearts.

Their modern Chinese history is far from peaceful. The peaceful life they have enjoyed these past few decades was bought with the blood and lives of countless ancestors. Many martyrs were buried far from home, and in the end, they drove the invaders out of China and restored their land.

These lyrics are so well-written, so brilliant! A genius lyricist.

Five-star red flag fluttering in the wind
How loud the victory song is
Sing our dear motherland

From this day forward to prosperity and strength
Sing our dear motherland

From this day forward to prosperity and strength
After the song ended, Chen Qing stood up and walked off the stage. He came to Zhao Xiaogu's side, turned to face the five-star red flag, and gave a standard military salute.

Seeing her husband doing this, Zhao Xiaogu also pulled down her mask and saluted the national flag. She felt incredibly proud to be born in such a country.

Now everyone could see the two people's faces clearly and recognized their identities. However, no one stepped forward or spoke. Everyone turned to face the national flag and saluted.

"All soldiers salute the national flag."

Upon seeing this, the captain of the guard of honor shouted to all the soldiers in the square, and then those soldiers who had been standing still turned around to face the national flag and salute. This scene lasted for about thirty seconds before it ended.

Such a situation is extremely rare. Normally, these soldiers only move when changing shifts, and today's situation is unprecedented.

"How's it going? Did you get it filmed?" the host asked the VJ across from him. The VJ nodded without answering, the camera continuing to pan across everyone, clearly recording this amazing scene. He felt this was the most successful clip he had filmed this year, bar none.

Seeing the situation around them, Chen Qing grabbed Zhao Xiaogu's hand and prepared to sneak away. They were sure that everyone would recognize them now, and if they didn't slip away now, it might not be so easy to escape later.

Zhao Xiaogu also felt very excited. After showing off, she ran away. This man knows how to play the game!

"Brother Chen and Goddess Xiao Gu are trying to run away, everyone stop them."

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, and the people who came to their senses looked in the direction and saw two people running away.

"Quickly, the people behind, stop Brother Chen and Goddess Xiao Gu! Don't let them get away!"

"Brother Chen, Goddess Xiao Gu, don't run away!"

Unfortunately, they were still a step too slow. Although Zhao Xiaogu was a girl, her athletic ability was not much weaker than that of the average boy. Everyone watched helplessly as they ran far away.

"Brother Chen, at least tell us the name of this song!"

"The Five-Starred Red Flag Fluttering in the Wind"

After answering the song title, Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu ran back to their rented car and drove away, heading towards their next destination, the Great Wall.

"Haha! Honey, that was so exciting! I never knew you had such a mischievous side." Zhao Xiaogu sat in the passenger seat, smiling at Chen Qing, then switched to a puzzled look. "But honey, you were so handsome just now, what am I going to do if I fall more and more in love with you!"

"Ahem! Keep it low-key, keep it low-key! It's all standard procedure."

"Mmm! My husband is so handsome, mua!"

The two whispered sweet nothings as they walked toward the Great Wall, and the internet became abuzz with their story. The hype from last night hadn't died down yet, and now it's only fueled by their presence.

"All I can do is yell 'Holy crap!' Didn't they just sing 'Heart of China' last night? And today they've released a new song, 'The Five-Starred Red Flag Fluttering in the Wind'?"

"Brother Chen is amazing! Does he write songs for free? He really does it like cabbage, one song a day."

"Damn, talented people are really something else. When I go to watch the flag-raising ceremony, all I can do is marvel at how spectacular it is, but Brother Chen just wrote a song on the spot. The difference is just too big!"

"I feel like I was born just to make up the numbers. It's so discouraging."

"The song is good, the melody is good, but Brother Chen is not human. Don't compare us ordinary people to him, or you'll become depressed."

"So, where did Brother Chen and Goddess Xiao Gu go after that? Any of you guys in Beijing have any information? Let's go and corner them."

"Count me in."

On this day, countless men and women in the capital city left their homes and headed to various scenic spots, all with the same goal: to find Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu.

Of course, it wasn't easy for them to spot the two. Most people were searching around the Forbidden City. Although there were people on the Great Wall, it wasn't easy to run into them among so many people. Besides, everyone around was wearing masks, making it much harder to distinguish them.
