Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

The social gatherings at that time were not as well prepared as those in later generations. They were rather casual, and most people volunteered to perform on stage. You just had to tell the host, and he would arrange it for you. But most of them were singing, and occasionally a few prepared people would perform a crosstalk. If you wanted to see dancing, you could only do it with professional song and dance troupes.

People of this era didn't know how to sing many songs. They just sang a few popular songs over and over again. Li Dongfang almost fell asleep while listening to them, but everyone else was very motivated.

I shouldn’t have come here if I had known, Li Dongfang thought secretly.

"Now, Comrade Yu Li will sing a song for us, A Great River. Please applaud."

At this time, the host's voice suddenly woke Li Dongfang up. This name was familiar to Li Dongfang. He couldn't help but secretly look at Yan Jiecheng. He saw that he was looking at the stage with excitement, but there was no special expression. It was estimated that the two did not know each other yet. So, the opportunity had come.

When the song ended, everyone gave applause. Li Dongfang rolled his eyes and stood directly on the motorcycle seat. Now he was the tallest person in the audience except for the one on the tree, but the one on the tree was not as eye-catching as him.

I wanted to whistle to attract attention, but I didn't dare to do it. I shouted loudly: "You sing so beautifully! Do you want another one?!"

This immediately caused a commotion from the audience, "One more, one more."

Yu Li, who was bowing to express her gratitude on the stage, suddenly panicked. This was the only song she had prepared, and she had practiced it for a long time. Although she could sing the others, she certainly couldn't sing as well as this one.

But she was also quick-witted. She picked up the microphone and said, "Comrade, it seems that you also like songs. How about you come on stage and sing a song?"

Li Dongfang was stunned. He originally just wanted to attract Yu Li's attention, but now he got himself involved.

However, the onlookers were not afraid of making trouble, and the noise of booing became louder. Some even shouted, "We can't be outdone by the female comrades. Go up and sing!"

This put Li Dongfang at the height of a man's dignity. It would be extremely embarrassing if he refused at this time.

My mind was racing. I couldn't sing the popular songs myself, so it was difficult for me to hum along. It was taboo to sing popular love songs at this time. Suddenly, an idea flashed across my mind. I might not be able to sing, but I was able to sing loudly. So I chose this one.

He shouted, "Come on!", jumped off the motorcycle and ran to the stage.

The host was also a wonderful person. Seeing that the atmosphere was so heated, he did not stop it, but instead joined in the fun: "Now, please invite this...male comrade to accept the challenge from Comrade Yu Li on behalf of all male comrades." After saying that, he was in a cold sweat. The routine was not enough to deal with the emergency. Fortunately, he changed his words in time.

Li Dongfang did not take the stairs from backstage. Instead, he took two running steps, put his hand on the edge of the stage, and jumped up. His current physical fitness is not at the highest level of human beings, but at least it is at the level of a professional athlete. This stage less than two meters high is not a problem for him.

Seeing that he was so agile, Yu Li picked up the microphone and said, "This comrade looks very healthy... ahem..." Realizing that her words were ambiguous, her face turned red and she quickly shut up.

The host came to the rescue and said, "Comrade, what's your name? What song do you want to sing?"

Li Dongfang took the microphone and said, "My name is Li Dongfang, I work in a steel mill. The song I sang is a song I composed myself, called "Serve the Country with Loyalty". I wrote it on a whim when I read Yue Fei's "Man Jiang Hong". But I never finished it until Comrade Yu Li invited me to sing it."

The host was surprised and said: "I didn't expect Comrade Li Dongfang to have creative talent. Let's look forward to Comrade Li Dongfang bringing us original works of loyalty to the country."

On the other side, Yu Li was blushing so much that she kept stealing glances at Li Dongfang. She couldn't see clearly from the distance, but this guy was really handsome and agile, but he was so shameless when he spoke. Who invited you to sing, and it was all because of my sudden inspiration? I'm so embarrassed!

Li Dongfang picked up the microphone and started yelling. Now there was no professional impression at all. There was a big speaker on the other end of the microphone. Although the sound was not small, the clarity was really worrying. But it didn't matter anyway. It was not a professional occasion. As long as the sound was loud enough, it would be fine.

"The smoke of war rises and the country looks north

"The dragon flag is unfurled, the horse neighs, and the sword energy is like frost."

There was no accompaniment, so he could only howl, but the heroic lyrics immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

Li Dongfang didn't think much about it and just shouted at the top of his lungs. The louder and hoarser the voice was, the more impressive it would be.

"I am willing to defend the land and restore the borders

The great China wants to be congratulated by all sides.”

The whole song has only 101 words in total. It doesn't sound like a song but more like a lyric. However, it is majestic and makes people's blood boil. The whole song is full of domineering aura, making people feel a cool and heroic spirit gushing out, showing the heroic spirit.

Without stopping, Li Dongfang started singing from the beginning again. His hoarse and slightly broken voice made people feel as if he was on the battlefield.

Some people started humming along this time, and when they sang the song the third time, a chorus broke out. Especially the young men present, all of them were passionate men. Such a song could show their tremendous heroic spirit, so they all roared along, not caring whether they sang it right or not, they just roared along.

Originally, the song could be sung twice, but since there was no accompaniment and the song was short, Li Dongfang sang it four times at once. The last time it sounded like ghosts howling and everyone sang along. The sound was so deafening that it even scared the police who were waiting in the distance to prevent any accidents.

But the scene was really lively, and everyone shouted happily, and the depression that had accumulated over the year was released at once.

At the end, Li Dongfang stood with his feet apart on the ground, one hand pointing high to the sky, and the other hand holding the microphone on his chest. He looked very handsome, if he wasn't wearing a earth-gray cotton jacket.

As soon as the singing stopped, there was thunderous applause and screams from girls. Well, it was just a fantasy. Girls at that time were very introverted.

The man who had just roared happily was very excited. He turned around and saw the girls around him staring at the stage with shining eyes. Their eyes were misty with excitement and their palms were red from clapping. They immediately turned their heads and looked at the stage fiercely.

Li Dongfang on the stage suddenly felt an inexplicable chill and shivered.

The host was also very excited and said: "Thank you Comrade Li Dongfang for bringing us such a soul-stirring song. What do you think of Comrade Li Dongfang's singing?"

"not good!"

"it is good!"

The host suddenly became Spartan. The man who was roaring excitedly just now suddenly turned hostile and shouted, "Oh no!", "What the hell is this?"
