As soon as the car exited the checkpoint, it entered a wide mountainous area, with the undulating surface of the ground, slowly moving upwards, allowing people to reach a certain camp located in the deep mountains and dense forests. The moment I parked, I felt the coolness of the mountain wind blowing.
In the deep mountains of autumn, the layers of forests are dyed, red maple leaves, orange wild fruits, green grass and trees, yellow poplar cypress, like the painter's overturned palette, colorful.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, I came to the mountains with Chen Wei, the officer, and prepared to go to a "cultural feast."
Before I came, I secretly thought in my heart: Located in the deep mountains, inconvenient transportation, the cultural life of officers and men is inevitably "thick lines.", what bright spots can there be? But in the subsequent viewing, I was amazed that the cultural activities here are not only quite vigorous, but also the arrival of the festival.
Turning a corner, the first thing that catches the eye is the mighty gong and drum, the camp is powerful, and the scene is spectacular. Directly in front of the line was a large drum, beating with a thunderous sound. If there is a trumpet sound echoing it, it has a domineering spirit of the ancient battlefield "Jingo Iron Horse, Swallowing Thousands of Miles Like a Tiger".
"Every time I stop in front of the drum, my spirit comes, and as soon as the drum sounds, the fatigue of drilling the cave and entering the position every day disappears. Don't underestimate this mighty gong and drum, bang, everyone's morale will come up! Wang Xiaoshan, the fourth-rank sergeant major who beat the drum, said excitedly.
As soon as the drum sounded, the camera turned, and the officers and men had changed into their performance costumes and put on their waist drums for a wonderful appearance. I saw that everyone was holding drumsticks with bright red silk in their hands, tapping the drum surface, while moving and jumping, with a cheerful expression, the drum sounded sonorous, and the mountains suddenly boiled up.
The so-called one minute on stage, ten years offstage. Sergeant Holey still remembers that when he first learned the waist drum, due to his poor coordination and flexibility, the movement could not be performed, and he looked like a stiff robot, which was very funny.
"Captain He, you have to shake off your arms and let go of your hands and feet." Everyone suggested. But for him, how difficult. After a few days, he not only did not learn to move, but he was also tired and sore, more tired than carrying the snake's belly net around the mountain.
Seeing that the performance day was getting closer and closer, the strong He Li did not want to drag everyone back, he dismantled each action, and practiced one move after another every day when he was idle. Gradually, when the whole team practiced together, he was not only able to close the beat, but also dance in a similar way. Seeing his progress, the comrades-in-arms quipped: "Waist drumming is to train a 'steel man' into a 'healthy man'." ”
To the sound of gongs and drums, the "Lion Dance" shines. The "lion" sometimes climbs on the high table and stool, sometimes shakes his head and swings his tail, and a dressed lion usher holds a rotating hydrangea ball in his hand, constantly waving the hydrangea ball to the "lion" who is eager to move, luring the "lion" to jump, turn, soar, and flutter in a coherent manner, and the form is delicate and realistic, but it is exquisite and intoxicating.
At night, the mountain wind gusted and whined. We rushed to the position management company to participate in the "officers and soldiers' fun party" they carried out.
