CCTV news: Recently, the song "Mohe Ballroom" has been on the hot list of many music platforms. On October 25, the Bureau of Culture, Sports, Radio, Television and Tourism of Mohe City, Heilongjiang Province, posted an introductory video about "Mohe Ballroom" on its officially certified short video platform account.

This video tells the love story of two old men. In May 1987, a huge forest fire broke out in the Daxinganling area of Heilongjiang, killing more than 200 people, including The wife of Zhang Dequan (pseudonym) Kang.

Before the tragedy, the two had no children, and more than thirty years after Kang's departure, the elderly Zhang Dequan did not remarry. According to reports, Kang loved to dance before his death, and when the two fell in love, they often sneaked into the warehouse full of miscellaneous things, lit a lamp, and practiced dancing in the narrow open space, "countless grain powders flew up and down, like elves dancing for the two." This scene is also the most precious memory of the elderly Zhang Dequan in this life.

Later, a dance hall was opened not far from the barn, and whenever night fell, he would go to the ballroom alone, and he stood in the middle of the dance floor, as if he had returned to the small barn.

Musician Liu Shuang learned this story by chance during the Mohe collection, and after obtaining the consent of the old man, he created the song "Mohe Ballroom", which is dedicated to all lives that have died because of misfortune.

After that, the account of the Mohe Municipal Bureau of Culture, Sports, Radio, Television and Tourism successively released a number of videos related to "Mohe Ballroom", and invited everyone to have the opportunity to travel to Mohe to punch in. Some netizens commented: "This is the best way I have ever seen cultural tourism publicity." ”

The staff of the Mohe Cultural and Tourism Bureau said in an interview with CCTV that this dance hall is still there, but it is not open, and almost no one has gone now.

"We don't want to dig any further and let the old man remember it again." The staff member said that considering that this matter would make the elderly Zhang Dequan recall the painful experience again, the Mohe Cultural and Tourism Bureau did not deliberately look for the old man.
