50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 51 Carnival
The lights and flames illuminated everyone's excited faces. Although the parade was over, the carnival had just begun.

The rostrum announced the start of the mass parade, and the first procession, the workers' platoon, entered the square. At the same time, ten thousand fireworks began to burst in succession around the square.

In front of the student team where Sun Zhiwei was located, the team leader who was waiting for orders did not dare to relax at all and kept a close eye on the signals in front.

When the fireworks took off, he knew it had begun.

"Everyone, pay attention. The front has started. We still have 20 minutes to go. Regain your energy. Don't be nervous. Let's do it according to the rehearsal."

The more the team leader spoke, the more nervous everyone became. Some of those with poor mental fitness were already looking for a place to pee.

Sun Zhiwei, who was standing in the front row, saw that this was not okay and immediately gave the team leader a look. The team leader saw his look and quickly looked towards the team.

Upon seeing this, he realized something was wrong, and his heart skipped a beat. It was like what he feared would come true. These rookies were taking this serious approach for the first time, and they were immediately defeated.

Just when he was about to lose his temper out of frustration, Sun Zhiwei had to interrupt his anger.

He turned and looked at his team members, then smiled before shouting, "Everyone, got it."

"We are ready to sing."

Then he took the lead and began to sing: "We are"

At first he was the only one singing, then several classmates next to him started singing along, and soon everyone was singing in unison.

It worked. Sun Zhiwei felt relieved. As long as he started singing, everything would be fine. What nervousness? What panic? None of that existed.

Let them sing non-stop so that they don't have time to think about anything else.

During the time they were interrupted, many of the teams in front had already started moving and would soon be their turn.

When the leader saw that the singing was going well, he simply didn't interrupt them. Instead, he waved to everyone, and then took the lead in moving.

Sun Zhiwei saw the signal and followed closely, then led the entire team to move forward.

In fact, there is really nothing to be nervous about. There are no requirements for this parade. It just wants to be a lively celebration. There is not even a requirement for the formation to be neat. It can be said to be the simplest military parade in history.

Even if something really happens to someone, there is no need to worry, because no one will pay attention to you, and even if they do, they will not blame you.

There were so many people who fainted from excitement at the scene, so a little problem with the movements or a change in tune was not a big deal at all.

Things turned out just as he expected. After the familiar song was sung, all the tension was thrown away and everyone's emotions were aroused.

Soon, everyone arrived in front of the eastern city gate tower amidst the dazzling fireworks. The leader's voice rang out in their ears: "Everyone, sing with me! Dance! Wave the red flags!"

As soon as you pass through the gate of the city wall, it feels like you have suddenly come from a quiet bedroom to a bustling street.

The square was a sea of ​​joy, with red flags waving everywhere, and lanterns and torches making the square sparkle.

The team members in front and behind waved red flags vigorously, and the team members in the middle danced with flowers and ribbons in their hands, singing excitedly: "Love the motherland, love the people, the bright red scarf fluttered on the chest."

Sun Zhiwei was singing and dancing excitedly, but his eyes were on the students from various schools who came to watch the ceremony. Their high-pitched singing caught the attention of the students on both sides. Hearing the familiar singing, they couldn't help but sing along.

Soon, more and more people joined in singing, gradually forming a wave of singing:
"Move bravely towards victory
Bravely march towards victory
Bravely march towards victory
We are the successors of GGZY"

After several months of singing, this song has spread not only in schools, but also because of the radio broadcast, many people can sing it, and now they sing together and can't stop.

The sound of chorus rang out throughout the square, as if everyone was singing the same song.

When the Jinshui Bridge band saw this, they immediately directed the band to play the tune of "Successor". The music sounded on the radio and everyone sang even louder.

When the team arrived at the center of the square, although everyone was still singing and dancing, everyone's attention was focused on the city wall.

Just as Sun Zhiwei was dancing with his head down, a classmate's excited voice rang out beside him: "Here you come, here you come, come out."

He quickly raised his head and looked to the right, but before he could see clearly, an excited voice shouted again: "Waving at us! Ah~ Long live!"

Sun Zhiwei tried hard to look at the tower. Maybe it was because of the lighting, but he couldn't see clearly, but he could still see the waving hat. He also shouted "Long live!"

When the school's team stopped at the designated location, the team behind also came up.

He saw a line of university students behind him, stretching as far as the eye could see. There were tens of thousands of them. Could there be so many university students in Beijing? Perhaps they had all come.

The parade ends and the party begins.

Each team with a program began to perform at a fixed location. The people in the square watched the performance while others participated in it.

Some teams performing folk dances were particularly popular and were surrounded by crowds of people. Sun Zhiwei really wanted to go and see them, but the team leader kept a close eye on them for fear of losing anyone.

Even so, there were frequent problems in the team. One person's flowers were lost, and another's shoes fell off. In this situation, even Sun Zhiwei was helpless and could only let them go.

In his previous life, he had heard an interesting story that the day after the ceremony, the cleaning staff found thousands of shoes near the Jinshui River Bridge, which showed how crazy the carnival was that night.

The carnival lasted until 9 o'clock in the evening, when the crowd of people gradually dispersed.

The team leader's work was not over yet. He was responsible for sending all the students back to school. In order not to be separated from the group, Sun Zhiwei could only look at the gate of the security compound and follow the team back to school.

After the celebration, everything returned to calm. Everyone went to study as they should, and went to work as they should, but people's moods were different at this time.

In mid-October, at the urging of Principal Yuan, Sun Zhiwei finally completed all the lyrics and arrangements of "Young Man, Young Man, Spring of the Motherland".

But so much time had passed that there was no time to re-record the film. Principal Yuan had no choice but to bring Sun Zhiwei to the hospital on a Saturday to report to Mr. Sun.

Because it was Saturday, Sun Zhiwei was supposed to pick up his daughter today, but Principal Yuan suddenly wanted to take him to meet Grandpa Sun.

There was no way, it was difficult to reschedule this appointment. Sun Zhiwei could only bring his daughter to Grandpa Sun's house. He believed that since his daughter was so cute, the old man would definitely like her.
