Chapter 887: A Great Rally for Everyone
evening.
A low-key black sedan quietly parked outside the walls of Jinhua National Middle School in Taipei. Brother Ma sat inside one by one, right, that was Brother Ma, who is now the deputy director of the First Bureau of Comrade Nicholas's office.
He stared at the door, and waves of veterans entered one after another, endlessly.
"So many people, are there really ten thousand?"
Assistant was shocked.
The deputy director also has an assistant, and Brother Ma is of a low level. He looked and said, "The auditorium in Jinhua Middle School cannot accommodate 10,000 people, it is just a declaration to the public, but there should be thousands of people."
"How come the organizational ability of these veterans seems to have become stronger? They still have songs. The song I sang last time at the National Father Memorial Hall is remembered by many people."
"I can only say that there are experts behind the scenes!"
Brother Ma sighed and said, "They were not arrested last time, and they were more confident. Turn off the fire. Let's observe for a while."
The car retreated, avoided the street lights and hid in the darkness, and stopped quietly there. In contrast, the lights inside Jinhua Middle School were brightly lit, especially the auditorium.
The last time the waters were successfully tested, the opposition party also increased its confidence. This time, it spent a lot of money, arranged venues, publicity materials, gathering people, etc.
The effect was significant, with thousands of veterans sitting in the audience, and the scene was extraordinary.
On the stage, He Wende, Jiang Sizhang, and Gao Binghan are all leading the leaders, and there are several backbone members of the opposition party, including a female singer named Yang Zujun, who is one of the flagbearers of the Taiwan Folk Song Movement.
"Olive Tree" has been heard: "Don't ask me where I came from, my hometown is far away, why I wandered——
Yang Zujun is the original singer, and Qi Yu is a cover singer, but Qi Yu makes this song popular.
She was still a veteran of the opposition party, but later expelled from the party. Because she supported unification, she often came to the mainland for exchanges. In short, she was a very legendary woman.
A banner was held on the stage and said, "What should I do if I want to go home? Open the speeches for the cross-strait visits to relatives one by one!"
That's right, today is held in the form of a speech.
Everyone was preparing, Yang Zujun held the guitar and found Jiang Sizhang and said, "Mr. Jiang, where did you get your songs? It's so high!"
"It's all sponsored by musicians who sympathize with us overseas, so I can write it casually."
"No, this is not a casual writing. It's a great honor for me to sing this song today!"
Yang Zujun smiled and said, "I will accompany you on the streets to raise funds tomorrow. How many copies of the tape have you prepared?"
"Time is rushed, only one thousand boxes!"
"That's too few, it's stolen in minutes. Believe me, this is the judgment of the musician."
Jiang Sizhang was sweating all over his head, hum hahaha,
Time is too tight and I don’t have time to make a serious album. Yang Zujun helped sing, and he hastily recorded a box of tapes and then ripped them. The quality of the tapes is relatively poor, but the songs are not bad. There are five songs in total, and each one is good.
Yang Zujun will sing later.
It was soon 7 o'clock, and the few people met: "It's almost done, let's start?"
"Okay, let's start!"
"Wow!"
Everyone came on stage amidst warm applause.
Several veteran representatives came to the stage to speak one after another. Some were not well-educated, and every word was heartfelt and affectionate: "I am 80 years old and I have been alive for a few years. My mother may have been gone long ago. But if I want to go home, even if my mother is gone, I have to kowtow to her grave and put in incense sticks-"
Some have studied and spoke in depth: "We always believe that China is a Chinese, and Chinese people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have the right to exchange their own territory! Not only Taiwanese people return to the mainland, but mainlanders can also come to Taiwan."
"Returning to visit relatives is just the starting point, not the end point. We hope that after the inter-strait family exchanges, we will follow up with a further comprehensive exchange of love among compatriots promoted by cultural, academic exchanges, sports exchanges, economic exchanges, and even mutual visits between compatriots. Only in this way can our return home be more meaningful!"
"I can't speak, I know that if I want to go home, I must fight! I must fight! Persist in fighting! Let the government open up!"
"good!"
"Well said!"
When it comes to anger, there is a wave of applause.
No one noticed that someone sneaked into the auditorium and stood at the back and watched silently. He wore a hat to cover up his appearance. His name was Ling Feng, a famous artist, and his hometown is Qingdao.
In the first few years, Ling Feng tried every means to get his father back to his hometown in Shandong through Japan. His father threw himself in front of his grandparents' grave and cried loudly, crying in silence.
He felt deeply about his father's homesickness and had the idea of going to mainland China to shoot a program. Today he also secretly came to see these veterans.
The stage was still speaking. After a while, Yang Zujun came out with a guitar in his arms and said, "We have an event tomorrow,
We took to the streets to raise funds. We carried out various actions, including subsequent openings, travel expenses for home, etc., which really require money.
But we are not begging. We have good songs. When we have enough time, we will record the album together. I will help you release it. We will make money with dignity!"
"I'll sing a few songs today. The first song is called "I Want to Have a Home"!"
As she said that, she twitched the guitar and sang, "I want to have a home, a place that doesn't need to be gorgeous. When I'm tired, I will think of it."
....
The music is very infectious, and the scene has become quiet without realizing it.
In addition to expressing feelings, popularness is also important because of the money you have to make money. Pan Meichen, the original singer of "I Want to Have a Home", was very popular for a while, and Zhao Benshan also sang it in the sketch.
I can hold on to this song, but the next song won’t work.
The next song is an adapted version of "A Letter from Home": "Dear Mom and Dad, how are you?"
When a lyric comes out, someone is already crying.
After singing, the crying sounds were continuous. Yang Zujun saw this and didn't know whether he should continue. Jiang Sizhang suddenly went on stage, held the microphone, fucked his gong-like voice, and sang "The Wandering Song" again.
"The wandering people miss you outside, my dear mother, wandering around the world, there is no home!"
This song is the easiest to learn, you can learn it by listening now.
It is also the best way to vent emotions.
Soon, the sounds from the audience gathered into a surging river. Everyone cried and roared, venting the dull pain of nearly forty years.
Ling Feng stood behind and wiped his tears, and his whole body was immersed in this atmosphere. He became more and more confident in his heart that he must go back to the mainland to shoot a program. He was even thinking in his mind that he could detour Japan and go to Hong Kong and outside Jinhua National Middle School, separated by a wall.
Brother Ma was sitting in the car and heard the veteran's grief and anger. He silently said for a while, "Go back!"
The car started, drove away quietly, and returned to the Qihai residence in Yuanshan. Comrade Nikola sat in a wheelchair and listened to the radio, as if he had been waiting for him to come back to report, and Little Ma Ge told him unbiasedly.
The air fell into silence, and neither of them spoke. Comrade Nicholas was thinking, and Little Ma Ge was waiting for his instructions.
"Call Zuzhi!"
"yes!"
After a while, Zhang Zuzhi came. He was the deputy secretary-general and the boss of Brother Ma. They were all Comrade Nicholas' right-hand man, and immediately afterwards, Brother Ma heard a sentence:
"You set up a group to study the feasibility of opening up veterans to visit relatives-"
"clear!"
After saying this, Comrade Nicholas seemed to have exhausted his strength and slowly waved his hand, and the two of them left.
Chapter completed!
