The theme event of "Ethnic Family One Family" has only started for an hour, but Yanggang Community is already full of festive atmosphere. The cheerful "Love Me China" is played in the large conference room, but colorful ribbons are drawn on the ceiling, colorful balloons are hung, and small national flags are even on the chairs.
Sisters such as Xu Dongmei, Zhang Yumin took the initiative to work overtime, not only because the small activities became big events, but Secretary-General Han was too busy alone. Moreover, whether these activities could be done well was directly related to whether other activities could be found to be attended by others in the future.
Teacher Qian Li came very early and was sitting quietly in the library reading the hosting words.
The two teachers who are in the dance training downstairs are organizing the children to have their last rehearsal before the event.
The leaders have not arrived, and the ethnic minority compatriots have not arrived. More than twenty parents have come to send the children to perform. Some are taking photos and posting their friends. Some are spontaneously helping to distribute fruits, melon seeds and candies to the newly-placed table. Some parents have been visiting the community for the first time and are visiting the activity rooms of several associations and volunteer associations. When the event begins later, they will sit in the back rows as representatives of the Han nationality and representatives of the community.
Xu Dongmei helped Teacher Qian pour a glass of water, ran into the equipment room of the large conference room, and looked at Han Xiaowu, who was sitting in front of the computer to play music and switched to the background of the large screen, and laughed: "Secretary-General, I thought of a good idea. If we hold events in the future, we will invite children to perform the show!"
"Why?" Han Xiaowu asked with a look up.
"When the child is here, it is impossible for parents to not come. Isn't there anyone?" Xu Dongmei looked out at the parents who were busy taking photos of their children outside, and said happily: "They can not only come to help us as audiences, but also spontaneously help us promote. Dance training institutions also need such performance opportunities. I should have thought of such mutual benefit."
"Sister Xu, it's not that you didn't expect it before, but you don't want to do it. You don't want to beg for people because of public affairs."
"This is, but it won't happen again. One event after another will never be completed. Now I ask for help, so don't worry about no one participating in the future."
Han Xiaowu didn't bother to chat with her, and looked at her phone and asked, "Sister Xu, there are many people who have never been to our community. Has the director arranged for someone to pick him up downstairs?"
"The director has gone downstairs a long time ago. I originally went down, so she insisted on going on her own. She said that she was waiting for the leader while picking up people. Teacher Qian was sent by her."
"Where is Sister Li?"
"Sister Li just arrived and was talking to Teacher Qian in the library." Xu Dongmei leaned over and looked at his cell phone. She saw Mr. Song from Anhai.com send him a WeChat message and asked him to take a few more photos, so that he could help post the news. She couldn't help laughing and said, "Xiaowu, let Yajuan take photos later. Your level of taking photos is too bad, so you can't even see them."
"Okay, no problem. Besides, today is different from yesterday. Yesterday, just switch the monogram. Today, not only have to switch the monogram, but also play music and videos. I can't leave even if I want to take pictures. "Han Xiaowu was still very convinced about them when taking pictures. They chose the angles when taking pictures. Not only did they look good, but they could even make more than a dozen people into dozens or even hundreds of people.
While chatting, Li Yajuan ran in and said that Xu Xielin and her thirteen Yi compatriots arrived.
Han Xiaowu quickly got up and greeted the teacher who was directing the rehearsal and went out to greet him.
When he walked out of the conference room, he almost didn't recognize him. Xu Xielin and her fellow villagers all changed into ethnic costumes. Zhang Lili, who was sending them upstairs, was pulling them to take photos together with Li Ling and Zhang Yumin.
"Brother Han, aren't you late?" Xu Xielin asked shyly.
"No, no," Han Xiaowu recovered from his senses, raised his hands to greet her fellow villagers, and exclaimed sincerely: "Linlin, you are so beautiful in this outfit!"
"Brother Han, Director Zhang makes fun of me, you're also laughing at me."
"It's not a joke, it's so beautiful. I'll go to the Panshu to attend an event tomorrow, and I'll wear it like this, right?"
"Um."
"I'll accompany you tomorrow. Come in and sit in first. There are seat cards on the table, and find your name."
"Thank you, Brother Han."
Just as Xu Xielin and others were welcomed into the conference room, the owner of the ramen shop downstairs came up with his wife and children. Han Xiaowu hurriedly received the reception. Then, two Miao compatriots and one Tujia compatriot who had just discovered a few days ago arrived and also had to receive them warmly.
Secretary Zhou of the street and Xie Liwen, the United Front Committee member of the Street Party and Mass Bureau deputy director, came very early, but after arriving, he did not rush to go upstairs, but waited for Minister Ye downstairs with the community secretary Wang Xiaoqin.
At 1:45, Minister Ye, Deputy Director Zhang of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Section Chief Xu Xuesong and others arrived and went upstairs with Secretary Zhou who had been waiting for a long time. Han Xiaowu hurriedly greeted them and introduced them to the ethnic minority compatriots who participated in the event.
At about two o'clock, the event officially began.
Han Xiaowu returned to the equipment room and transformed into a director, sound engineer, and lighting engineer.
Teacher Qian walked onto the stage and introduced the leaders participating in the event in a slight manner. With the warm applause, the leaders stood up and bowed. When introducing the ethnic minority compatriots participating in the event, Boss Ma and Xu Xielin also learned from the leaders and stood up and bowed.
Sister Li, vice chairman of the Singers Association, performed the first program, and then, under the affectionate recitation of Teacher Qian, he played a short video of the United Front Work Department of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Ethnic and Religious Affairs Bureau uniting and caring for ethnic minority compatriots.
If this activity was not carried out, Han Xiaowu really didn't know that there were more than 3,000 ethnic minority compatriots in Quan'anhai, most of whom were married. It can be traced back to decades ago. The family conditions of locals who married ethnic minority compatriots were not very good, and some were not even married by the Ming media, but were secretly bought back.
Until now, the financial conditions of some families are still not very good.
The Bureau of Ethnic and Religious Affairs will visit each year. The condolences mainly come from the Fangtian Love Foundation and the Municipal Buddhist Association's Love Merit Society. At the same time, they organize and coordinate various streets, townships, villages and other units to pair up and help relatively poor ethnic minority families.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Xiaoqin was invited to come to the stage to introduce the community's ethnic and religious work.
A program was interspersed with a leader’s speech or interviews with fellow ethnic minorities, talking about their hometowns and their feelings about working and living in Anhai. With the warm applause, two and a half hours passed without realizing it.
Yi, Miao and Tujia compatriots are good at singing and dancing, and have participated in a rehearsal by the United Front Work Department in the Pan Study Room, and they sang very well. At the same time, they felt the care of the organization for them, and they really felt some sense of belonging to Yanggang Community and even Anhai.
The children were more cute than the other, and the dance performed was the most popular; although the speeches of Minister Ye, Director Zhang and Secretary Zhou were short, they were very sincere; the dance training institutions organized students to participate in the official performance; the parents took photos of the children's performance... Everyone was happy, and the event was a complete success!
After taking a photo, Xu Xielin, who was a compatriot in the event and a volunteer in Jianghai, did not rush to leave, but actually asked her brothers and sisters to clean up the venue with Xu Dongmei and others.
Han Xiaowu knew that several of her brothers and sisters had come for leave, so he walked over and pulled her aside: "Linlin, don't cook tonight. Go back and change your clothes and go to the opposite side to have hot pot. I have already booked the private room."
"Brother Han, don't be so polite."
"It's not that you are polite, but that's what you should do."
"It's really no need. Xiao Mi is waiting for me to change shifts!"
"Xiaomi is fine. I'll call her and talk about how long it takes for a meal?"
...
At the same time, Chu Chanjuan was hesitating, thinking that she should find an opportunity to help Liu Zhiwei explain to Han Xiaowu and eliminate the misunderstanding as soon as possible.
It was not until Minister Ye and several leaders entered the elevator that she used the excuse to get things and returned to the conference room.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked into the conference room, I saw Han Xiaowu whispering to the beautiful and pure Yi girl in the corner.
She subconsciously stopped and then pretended to have seen nothing, turned her head and ran back to the elevator entrance: "Director Zhang, wait for me, I'll go down too!"
