After a while, the students were almost there.
In other words, everyone who wants to come comes. If you don't want to come, you won't come at all.
After everyone arrived, the event officially started.
Yang Huajian personally took the stage to host, "Classmates and friends, today we are holding this educated youth gathering to commemorate our educated youth career. Recall the past and look forward to the future.
To this end, I specially invited Secretary Yang of the Xiaoqinghe Revolutionary Committee who jumped in line to come and applaud everyone! ! "
Amid everyone's warm applause, Secretary Yang Youping came up to the stage and said with a smile, "Children, I miss you so much. You have been waiting in line at Xiaoqinghe for more than two years. The villagers are really reluctant to leave you now.
When I came this time, the folks asked me to take care of you. I won’t say anything else. I hope you will come back to Xiaoqinghe more often in the future. Don’t go back to Sijiu City and forget about the folks~”
When the students heard this, they all said in unison, "No way~"
"Secretary Yang, don't worry, we won't do it. Xiaoqinghe is our second hometown. No matter where we go or what we do, we will never forget our roots." Yang Huajian expressed his position loudly, "Everyone, is it right? ?”
Everyone responded in unison.
Yang Youping smiled and nodded.
However, he knew that what Yang Huajian, the cadre's disciples, said was basically empty talk.
In the two years since they returned to the city in 1975, Xiang Nan, Chunming, and Cai Xiaoli are the only ones still thinking about the villagers, helping them sell eggs and make more money.
Others, when they returned to the city, could not even find the letter.
…
After speaking, the students began to have a party.
There were people singing, dancing, reciting... it was lively.
"Hey, Jianjun, our great poet, why don't you write a poem to commemorate such a lively occasion today?" Yang Huajian invited with a smile.
When the students heard this, they all applauded.
"Hey, no, no, I won't be embarrassed." Xiang Nan waved his hands modestly.
"Hey, don't say that. All the students here don't know that you are talented. Stop being modest. Come on, come on." Yang Huajian said with a smile.
Han Chunming, Cai Xiaoli, Mao Tutu... a large group of classmates applauded and expressed their welcome.
"Come on, don't let the students be disappointed." Yang Huajian said with a smile.
Xiang Nan nodded, "Okay. I'm really happy to meet you all again today after a long absence. I improvised a song. I hope you all like it."
After hearing what he said, everyone became even more excited.
"Come on, come on, come on," everyone shouted together.
Xiang Nan coughed lightly, and then sang acapella,
"Young friends
Come and meet today
Swing the boat
Warm breeze blows gently
…
To whom does the wonderful spring belong?
Belong to me, belong to you
Belonging to our new generation in the 1970s
…
We will meet again in twenty years
great motherland
How beautiful it should be
…
Ah dear friends
May we raise our glasses proudly
Hold out your chest, smile and raise your eyebrows.”
An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.
Although Xiang Nan only sang a cappella without musical accompaniment, the singing voice was clear, the melody was beautiful, the rhythm was cheerful, and the lyrics were touching. It was still a rare good song, which shocked all the students.
In fact, the students found it hard to believe that Xiang Nan had become a great writer and poet.
After all, Cheng Jianjun's performance was not too outstanding in school and when he was jumping in line. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have failed to pass the high school entrance examination.
But now, seeing Xiang Nan singing such a good song by improvising lyrics and composing music, everyone is really impressed.
So when he finished singing, the audience burst into warm applause.
Cai Xiaoli looked at him with admiration, thinking Xiang Nan was really great.
…
Afterwards, the class reunion ended successfully with singing.
But after the class reunion, the real drama began.
Yang Huajian, Mao Tutu and others went to great lengths to organize a class reunion in Bale, not just to rekindle the friendship between classmates.
To be honest, for them, the children of cadres, no matter how close their classmates or friends are, they are not as attractive as their interests.
Just like Chen Can, Hao Shuwen, and Lin Dingding in the movie "Youth", they talk about doctrines and are all about business in their hearts. They are all comrades in arms, but they are also divided into three, six or nine levels. Who can be bullied and who should be fawned over, I feel like a mirror in my heart.
The reason why they want to hold a class reunion is to establish a relationship with Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan is now a role model set by the government, with a resounding golden sign that contains powerful energy.
It is no exaggeration to say, just like Lei Feng, Shi Chuanxiang, Wang Jinxi, Ouyang Hai, etc. As long as he doesn't make any principled mistakes, he can enjoy this bonus for the rest of his life.
To engage in politics is to make friends more numerous and enemies less numerous.
They are naturally willing to make friends with such an outstanding person as Xiang Nan.
Today's class reunion is just an introduction so that they can get back in touch with Xiang Nan.
After all, they had not moved around for two years before this.
If Mao comes rashly to establish a relationship, everyone knows what he is planning. It's better to borrow the banner of the Alumni Association and resume activities, openly and logically.
Therefore, after the party, Yang Huajian, Mao Tutu and other cadre disciples visited Xiang Nan from time to time to communicate with each other and deepen their friendship.
Xiang Nan had a clear idea of their thoughts and knew what their plans were.
However, he did not refuse.
The children of cadres like Yang Huajian and Mao Tutu also have their uses.
These people are well-connected, quick-witted, and courageous. In the 1980s, he dared to go to the south to dump cars, which was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
When ordinary people are still working for tens of dollars a month, their profit from selling a car has already reached hundreds of thousands.
It was with the help of Yang Huajian that Han Chunming made his first pot of gold. Naturally, Xiang Nan wouldn't push the God of Wealth out of the house. Anyway, they each get what they need, and no one is a bad person.
…
Half a month later, "Our Fields" written by Xiang Nan was published by the magazine "People's Literature".
After its launch, it immediately caused a sensation.
In the late 1970s, the "Scar Literature Craze" emerged in the Mainland, which mainly described the tragic experiences of educated youth, intellectuals, persecuted officials and ordinary people in urban and rural areas in that unforgettable era.
However, "Our Field" goes against similar themes of sadness, pain, and anger. Instead, it affirms the contributions of educated youth and analyzes their mental processes.
Therefore, it has more literary value and ideological significance than scar literature that only vents pain, sorrow, and anger.
In addition, in 1977, although the movement ended, the aftermath has not subsided, and conservative ideas still prevail. Therefore, Xiang Nan's article caters to their ideas and is highly praised.
"People's Daily", "Youth Daily", "Worker Daily" and more than ten domestic newspapers and periodicals have reprinted this article, and launched a large-scale discussion on the work "Our Fields".
This craze lasted for more than a year. It was not until the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee was held in December 1978 that the controversy gradually subsided.
Of course, this is all for later.
