Today is October 1st National Day, with lights and decorations in the embassy to celebrate National Day.

Early in the morning, Li Yange brought the members of the Dunhuang Orchestra one after another. Under the leadership of Consul Chen, the big guy began to prepare for the evening party in a large conference room.

"Everyone prepare!"

Seeing that everyone was ready, Li Yange waved his baton and everyone played the national anthem "March of the Volunteers".

The two leading singers sang passionately, "The people who get up and don't want to be slaves... cast our flesh and blood into a new Great Wall..."

"Okay! Sing well!"

After the forty-nine-second national anthem was over, Li Yange was preparing to rehearse several other songs, and suddenly audacity came from the gate of the conference room, and then he clapped and applauded.

When he looked back, he saw four or five people standing next to Consul Chen. Judging from his appearance and temperament, he should be the consular members of the consulate.

"Yan Ge, come here." Consul Chen waved his hand and signaled Li Yange to come over.

"Everyone have some rest."

After Li Yange spoke to the members of the band, he put down the baton in his hand and walked over quickly, "Consul Chen, are you looking for me?"

"It's nothing, let me introduce it to you. This is the Consul General of our Consulate, and this is the Deputy Consul General..." Consul Chen introduced the people around him one after another to Li Yange.

When he heard that he was the Consul General of the Consulate, Li Yange hurriedly said: "Consul General, Consul General, Hello, leaders."

The Consul General smiled kindly and said, "Comrade Li, don't be so polite. I heard Consul Chen say you are back before, but I didn't expect you to have come here long ago."

"Isn't this thinking of doing a rehearsal in advance for the evening performance? So I came here early and wouldn't disturb the consulate's work, right?" Li Yange didn't know how good the sound insulation of the consulate was. He thought that the noise here was too noisy, which attracted the attention of the Consul General and others.

"Haha, no, no, you can come to perform for the National Day party tonight. The colleagues in the consulate are so happy. Recently, local American newspapers have highly praised you. My colleagues and I wanted to see your concert a long time ago, but time does not allow it. Today we have to enjoy it."

The Consul General laughed and looked particularly amiable.

Li Yange said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Okay Consul General, for the performance tonight, I and the band will definitely put in twelve points of strength."

The Consul General said: "I believe you, there will be many Chinese compatriots in New York to come to watch the National Day Gala tonight. Comrade Li will need to perform well to show the style of our motherland."

"No problem, we have prepared five songs today. In addition to the national anthem just now, there are two folk music songs "Spring River Flower Moon Night" and "Pinghu Autumn Moon", as well as a song I have written before, and a song I have recently written."

"Oh? Comrade Li has another masterpiece?"

"It's not a good work. If the Consul General wants to read it, I'll get the music score."

As he said that, Li Yange turned around and walked back, preparing to get the music score.

Looking at the other party's departure, the Consul General showed curiosity. He had read Li Yange's personal information before. He admired the talent shown by this young man, who was only 20 years old this year, and his favorability increased greatly.

Especially when I learned that Li Yange's income from several recent concerts in New York will be donated to the Asian Games in China, this makes the Consul General feel very fond of Li Yange.

You should know that since 1987, the consulate has successively received many donations from local Chinese and overseas Chinese to support the Asian Games in the motherland.

As soon as Li Yange's concert began this September, the newspaper reported that all the income from Li Yange's concert was donated to the Asian Games, and a new wave of fundraising emerged in Chinatown and the Chinese circle.

Today, several seniors from Chinatown also brought fundraising funds from all Chinese business owners and Chinese compatriots in Chinatown.

After a while, Li Yange brought the music score and handed it over. The Consul General took it and saw that the music score had four big characters "The Red Flag Flying" written on it.

"That's the rainbow picked from the rising sun, no one doesn't love your color..."

"Five-star red flag, you are my pride. Five-star red flag, I am proud of you, cheer for you, I bless you, your name is more important than my life..."

"Okay! Well written!"

Looking at the lyrics full of sincere patriotic feelings on the lyrics, the Consul General cheered excitedly.

After hearing this, the consuls next to him couldn't help but nod and applaud.

Look at the lyrics written, "Five-star red flag, you are my pride, I am proud of you!"

Just these few sentences reveal the sincere love of a sincere Chinese person for his motherland.

Especially the lyrics at the beginning, "When I left home, you sounded the horn with deep affection."

This is really perfect for the National Day party held in Chinatown, New York today!

This is New York and the United States. We traveled thousands of miles to this place. Whether it is the staff of the consulate or the Chinese compatriots who make a living here, they are just wanderers who left their hometown and went away.

Everyone has longing for the motherland and home in their hearts.

The Consul General said happily: "Comrade Li, this song is very well written! I hope that the performance will be over in the evening. I hope you can teach us to sing this song."

"No problem Consul General." Li Yange nodded with a smile.

After chatting for a while, the Consul General and others had to meet some local Chinese representatives. After saying goodbye to Li Yange, they left in a hurry.

Li Yange also called everyone again to continue to rehearse for the performance tonight.

Time passes quickly.

It will be the National Day party in the evening soon.

The venue for this evening party was held in a large auditorium in the consulate.

There were only more than 300 seats, but they were packed with Chinese representatives and business people in New York, as well as several New York officials invited to come.

There are eleven performances tonight. In addition to the performances of the consulate staff, some local Chinese from New York came to perform.

Singing, dancing, Peking Opera, Sichuan Opera face change... It's also very lively.

The most anticipated one is naturally the performance of Li Yange and his orchestra.

As soon as everyone came on stage, applause continued.

The first song after he went on stage, Li Yange did not use "Remembrance of the Forbidden City", but instead played "The Original Scenery of Hometown". This is the second time he has been on stage to play the drums again in more than a year.

The subsequent "Autumn Moon in Pinghu" and "Flower Moon Night in Spring River" were also very popular with guests.

When the last song "The Red Flag Flying", two members of the band, one man and one woman, sang there, quickly resonated with the Chinese guests in the audience.

During the second chorus, they sang together with the singers on the stage: "Five-star red flag, you are my pride, the five-star red flag, I am proud of you..."
