The retired elderly organized a choir, and the square shouted Mai Hi all the way
The singing place is in a clearing in the northwest corner of the Lingbao City Gymnasium, where Liu Zhuxia, a retired teacher many years ago, and several elderly people who love to sing and dance spontaneously formed the "Children's Heart Choir". There were no ornate curtains, no shiny stages, leaning against a few big trees, and everyone would gather to sing for two or three hours from Monday to Friday, as long as the weather permitted. The song is melodious, attracting adults and children who come to play, and hundreds of people can gather when there are many.
At about 8:00 a.m. on October 21, the square of the Lingbao Stadium was full of citizens exercising, and Zhao Jiexiao, the leader of the Children's Heart Choir, drove to the venue early in the morning to arrange the audio and banners. At this time, singers came from all directions one after another, some carrying dishes in their hands and discussing today's price; some just after eating, they rushed to the venue with music and danced with other singers to warm up; some got together, laughed, and didn't know what funny things to tell.
People gradually surrounded more and more, Zhang Jie and the old teacher Liu Zhuxia took the microphone to organize everyone to form a circle and began to heat up. "What are the benefits of singing?" "Singing makes people younger" "Singing saves the doctor's prescription" "If you can't do it, try to sing, singing is different" "Singing time In fact, everyone is changing, but everyone has not found it" Slip sentence after sentence, everyone is driven by the two big sisters, the sound wave is higher than a wave. After the hot scene, the singing began, and the two elder sisters led everyone to dance, using both hands and feet, and the warm atmosphere enveloped the entire venue. The singers scattered in other parts of the square heard the slogans shouted and gradually gathered around, and in a short while there were three or four layers of people standing inside and out.
Straight Big Sister "Fame"
Zhang Xueling is the fat big sister who became popular in the video, born in 1953, 68 years old this year, is one of the core members of the Children's Heart Choir, and acquaintances call her "Sister Zhang". The reporter of Dahe Daily went to visit Sanmenxia Lingbao, and Sister Zhang was very happy, and chatting with the reporter was like a nag.
"I'm a straight-talker, and I can say anything directly." Sister Zhang's voice is loud and she is always happy to talk. Sister Zhang, who has a cheerful personality, is enthusiastic, can afford to joke, is famous in the local area, quite popular, sometimes there are things at home for a few days without singing, there will be singers to call and greet "Sister Zhang, when are you coming?" ”。
After her retirement, Sister Zhang helped her 2 daughters take care of her children at home, and later in order to facilitate her children's schooling, three or four years ago, her daughter moved to Lingbao City, and Sister Zhang also moved with her daughter.
"The kids went to school, I had my own time, I went to the gym to exercise and saw them singing and dancing, and I felt very happy and joined." Before Zhang Jie joined the choir, she just liked to sing but didn't have the opportunity, and she didn't think she could become a "conductor".
Sister Zhang's wonderful command at the venue was the "true biography" of Teacher Liu Zhuxia. Liu Zhuxia graduated from the Art Department of Henan University and is a retired music teacher at a local school in Lingbao, and she joined the choir after retiring, becoming the professional and technical backbone of the troupe. Sister Zhang followed Teacher Liu to learn singing, conducting, dancing, etc., from disorderly to skillful singing and dancing conductors, became the deputy leader and deputy conductor of the troupe, and often sang on the stage with Teacher Liu to enliven the atmosphere of the scene.
Last year, a singer "Dandelion" will be Zhang Jie's singing video posted to social networks, there are many netizens liked and applauded, since then "Dandelion" will often put Zhang Jie's performance on the small video, for Zhang Jie accumulated a lot of popularity, especially the recent song "Horse Gallop to Protect the Frontier" performance, played more than 40 million, more than 1.5 million likes, netizens praised: "folk artists", "what a big mother should look like" "temperament, mighty to arouse the enthusiasm of the people"... For the internet popularity, Zhang Jie hindsight, said that she rarely looks at the Internet to see mobile phones, almost does not play small videos, "as long as everyone likes to watch, I will perform", for the popular Zhang Sister is still very happy.
Singing makes people younger
"I have 5 brothers and sisters in my family, and the conditions were not good at that time, so I had time to sing and dance." Sister Zhang told reporters that singing and dancing has always been a wish of hers, for which she also let her daughter learn art, and now she has this opportunity to sing and dance, and she feels very happy.
Most of the singers who come to sing are around 60 years old with their grandchildren at home, picking up children every day to cook and clean up housework, and some mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are contradictory, and physical exertion and mental pressure are very large. "Someone told me there was something I couldn't do, and I told them to 'cook, wash, and hum, don't have Alzheimer'. The pressure on young people is also very great, and I explain to them to make them understand young people. I asked them to shout after me, 'Singing makes people younger, singing makes people sick', and after they followed and shouted, they released the unhappiness in their hearts. Sister Zhang said.
An old lady's family old man is paralyzed due to illness and needs to be taken care of for many years, the old man does not understand the old lady's hardships, and is not willing to let the old lady go out, even if the old lady comes to sing, she is sad. After singing once, the old lady took the initiative to find Sister Zhang to talk about her family affairs, and Sister Zhang immediately decided, "Go, I will go to your house and talk about it!" After Zhang Jie's persuasion, the mentality of the two changed. Subsequently, Sister Zhang encouraged the two to sing together in the gymnasium, and the old man gradually walked out of the paralysis of depression, and now the old lady pushes the wheelchair almost every day to take the old man to sing.
"No matter how I shout and make a strange move, as long as I can bring this happiness to everyone, as long as everyone approves, I am willing." I was telling the truth, and everyone said that Sister Zhang was right. When everyone arrives here, the mood is that kind of excitement, and this is the change. Sister Zhang said, "I am in this team, but also brought me a lot of joy." I'm a little conductor, and although I don't know music, I can find this beat, find this, and I feel happy to step on this. Singing is one thing, I have to teach everyone to move their feet, you like ' you come, I come, everyone comes'. Everyone sang and moved with me, everyone participated, and you felt like a team. ”
Watch the singing uncle
With a heart of love, sing a happy life
Outside the crowd, an old man sat on a three-wheeler with his hand on his leg, and he introduced to reporters: "This choir is the most decent." An old man next to him also stepped forward to say, "I come every day, just sing the mood!" ”
In the crowd, the reporter met Chang Yunzhou, the founder of the Children's Heart Choir. More than a decade ago, after Chang Yunzhou retired, he organized an elderly choir in the gymnasium, and with his own musical foundation, he taught everyone to read the score and practice singing. Due to his outstanding performance, Chang Yunzhou led the choir to represent 3 communities to participate in the patriotic song singing of Lingbao City celebrating the 60th anniversary of the founding of New China. "I want to take 4 grandchildren now, there is no time to organize, I entrusted them to The Commander of the Zhao Regiment, he is very serious and has always insisted." My house is close to here, I'll come and see if it's okay. Teacher Chang talked about the choir and was full of pride.
There is no threshold or fee to join this choir, and you can sing along as long as you want to join. The choir mainly sings red songs, and sometimes arranges some skits, song and dance programs, and there are homes for the elderly, communities, etc. that will invite the choir to perform programs, these performances are free of charge, at most a meal. "Without props and costumes, we buy them on our own." Zhao Tuanchang introduced that at the beginning, there was only a small stereo, and everyone exchanged 200 yuan and spent 2,000 yuan to buy the current big stereo.
"Although we are old people, we have a child's heart, so it is called the 'Children's Heart' Choir." Zhao Tuan introduced, "Before joining the choir, I had a brain infarction and a heart attack, and my wife asked me to recommend me to sing, and through singing I was in good health. The choir is 60 to 70 years old, the youngest is also 50 years old, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are very common. ”
The growth of the team is inseparable from Liu Zhuxia's infusion of professional skills, "The programs we choreographed related to poverty alleviation were watched by the city, and we were arranged to perform in the countryside, we carried bags, loaded props and waited in the gymnasium, and they took us to the village to perform." Speaking of the performance in the countryside, Teacher Liu looked proud, "The villagers cook for us, we eat at the villagers' homes, they can welcome us!" "The performance lasted for a month, several teachers came out early and returned late every day, even if there were only a few families in the village, the teachers were changing clothes, putting on props, and putting on as seriously as a real job."
Outside the crowd, there were freshly bought vegetables on the trees and benches, the singers sang in bursts, the applause continued, and from time to time there was a hearty laugh, and although the uncles and aunts on the periphery did not participate, like the audience, their faces were full of smiles.
This group of happy singers always attracts a lot of people to participate in each activity
