On the stage of Beijing Quyi, there is an active literary and artistic team composed of retired soldiers - Shijingshan District Veterans Allegro Group. In the past few years, they have insisted on writing heroes, acting heroes, learning heroes, and singing heroes, promoting truth, goodness and beauty, and transmitting positive energy. Today's "Always a Soldier", let's get to know one of them - Yao Zhigang.
In the eyes of many people, he should be in his 70s, and he should be the age of teasing his grandchildren, cultivating his self-cultivation, and taking care of his old age. For Yao Zhigang, it is the time to use his expertise to realize the "heroic dream". Although 74-year-old Yao Zhigang has been wearing his military uniform for decades, his military integrity has never faded.
In the army, Yao Zhigang created many excellent literary and artistic works with the theme of praising heroes, and after retirement, he devoted his hero complex to the creation of allegro.
After retiring, by chance, he got acquainted with several other Allegro enthusiasts in Shijingshan, and the four people who also had experience as soldiers hit it off and established the "Veteran Allegro Group" in Shijingshan District. More than 20 acclaimed allegro works such as "Flying to Capture Luding Bridge", "Heroic Company Heroes", and "General Broadsword" have all been carefully polished by Yao Zhigang countless late nights. Since then, he has not only written heroes in his works, but also used the down-to-earth performance form of Allegro to play heroes, sing heroes, and learn heroes.
Nowadays, Allegro is not only their hobby, but also a channel for them to exert their residual heat and continue to contribute to the strength of veterans.
These four retired veterans use allegro to interpret the true colors, character and feelings of soldiers. Although they are over the age of old, their hearts are young, old and strong, heroic, and full of energy.
