Yu Junjian is a well-known military singer. Many of his masterpieces, such as "Say Nothing", "Home and Everything", as well as the soundtrack of the classic TV series "Journey to the West", "Five Hundred Years of Mulberry Fields and The Sea", have become classic songs praised by the Chinese people.
Behind Yu Junjian's fame, there is an unknown past. At the most critical point of his life, there was a big man and a big noble person to help him, and only then did he have the later Yu Jun Sword. This great nobleman was a founding general with great military achievements.
In 1979, the General Political Affairs Song and Dance Troupe enrolled students, and Yu Junjian, a 23-year-old young man, took the exam. Dear readers, do you know where Yu Junjian is from? Guilin, Guangxi. Yu Junjian was a singer in the Guilin Song and Dance Troupe at that time. He is talented, loves singing and has a high level of singing.

Yu Junjian traveled thousands of miles north from Guilin to Beijing to take the test. It is gold that always shines. After the evaluation of the judges, Yu Junjian was excellent in all aspects, met the standards, and was finally successfully admitted. Being able to enter the Zongzheng Song and Dance Troupe is Yu Junjian's dream since he was a child.
Dreams come true and cheers come true. However, at this very moment, no one expected that the reorganization of the troops had begun and that the entry of personnel was frozen. When does it freeze? No one told Yu Junjian. Yu Junjian had no choice but to stay in Beijing and become a "North Drifter".
To make matters worse, the original unit in Guilin City also froze Yu Junjian's salary, and It was not easy for Beijing to drift. How do you survive? Yu Junjian had to live by part-time work. Poor him as a literary singer, he can only sing, and the days of part-time work are really miserable.

Later, Yu Junjian recalled this past and said that those days were life under the fence. It's two years. Wei Guoqing, then director of the General Political Department, heard about Yu Junjian. Wei Guoqing was the founding general who came out of Guangxi.
I think that when he joined the Red Seventh Army, he also went all the way from guangxi to the Central Soviet Region, and then after the Long March, he reached northern Shaanxi, fought in the War of Resistance for eight years, conquered East China, and served as the commander and political commissar of the Second Column of the East China Field Army and the political commissar of the Tenth Corps.
In 1955, Wei Guoqing was awarded the founding general for his outstanding military achievements. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he served in Guangxi for a long time, serving as secretary of the Guangxi Provincial Party Committee and political commissar of the Guangzhou Military Region. In 1977, he became Director of the General Political Department. In a high position, Wei Guoqing cherishes talents very much, especially those from his hometown of Guangxi.

Guangxi is remote, and it is not easy to get out of there. After understanding yu Junjian's situation, Wei Guoqing said: Please ask all departments to study it, and if the situation is true and such talents are needed, it will be decided as soon as possible.
With one hammer, one sentence changed the fate of Yu Junjian. Soon, Yu Junjian officially entered the General Political Song and Dance Troupe. Entering the General Political Song and Dance Troupe, he opened the door to Yu Junjian's successful art, and from there, his singing voice spread throughout the frontier outposts of the motherland, spread throughout the north and south of the great river, and was loved and well known by the people of the whole country.
Yu Junjian was grateful to General Wei Guoqing all his life. In 1989, Wei Guoqing passed away. Yu Junjian silently came to the general's spiritual hall and offered a flower basket woven with dozens of flowers, deeply mourning the general who had pointed out a crucial step at the crossroads of his life.
