Listen to the duet of singer Zhang Zhenfu and Geng Lianfeng In the past, the cultural and sports work of the troops was intimate to the officers and men
In my memories of joining the army, the literary and sports groups of the troops in the last century often went down to the troops to give condolence performances and competitions and participate in the life training of the troops.
Like our troops in Shenyang, the "Forward Song and Dance Troupe" of the Shenyang Military Region almost every year has to go to our troops to offer condolence performances. Even singers who are not a military district and cross-district friendly neighboring units, as long as they know that there are troops nearby, whether it is a jurisdiction or not? Regardless of whether you or I am or interested, we will come to the army and sing and perform wholeheartedly for the officers and men of the unit.
The famous military duet zhang zhenfu and Geng Lianfeng are like this. In the early spring and February of 1987, two teachers came to Benxi to perform, and when they heard that there was a local garrison, they took the initiative to go to the appointment and performed a condolence performance in the army.
In fact, Zhang Zhenfu and Geng Lianfeng were from the Beijing Military Region's "Comrades-in-Arms Cultural and Labor Corps." They did not have the task of performing in the troops of the Shenyang Military Region, but in their hearts, as long as they performed for the troops and served the officers and men, they felt that singing was an unshirkable duty and obligation.
I distinctly remember that the two teachers performed in Benxi at night. However, in order to add performances to the troops, they squeezed out their spare time and came to the troops in the morning. In order to protect their voices, the average singer rarely or does not sing in the morning. But for the sake of the officers and soldiers of the army and their families, the two teachers paid hard. Originally, it was planned to be performed only once in the morning, but because it was greatly welcomed and loved by the officers and men, it had to be added in the afternoon. More than 2,000 officers and soldiers brought their families to watch their performances.
There was no one else on the stage, only Zhang Zhenfu and Geng Lianfeng, two teachers. In order to achieve the effect of the performance, while singing, they told the officers and men on the stage about the various experiences of the troops' performances. It is said that twice a year, he went to the front line of Laoshan to offer condolences and sing for the officers and men of the battlefield.
Once, when the cat's ear hole on the front line was sung for the soldiers, he was seen by several cooks on the way, and the two teachers had to sing. The cook used the song "Fifteen Moons", the most popular and popular song of the army that year, to add the lyrics of his related jobs: "I cook on the front line, you work hard in your hometown", and the humorous and witty entertainment amused the two teachers.
To perform in Tibet, the two teachers did not adapt to the plateau climate, sang the Japanese folk song "Dragnet Minor", a "hey ------", usually can sing 24 beats in one breath, in Tibet even 10 beats can not be sung. However, in order to make the officers and soldiers satisfied and boost morale, teacher Geng Lianfeng first inserted a tube on his nose before singing, inhaled oxygen, and then continued to sing to ensure the effect of the performance.
At that time, the two teachers introduced that Teacher Zhang Zhenfu was 47 years old and Teacher Geng Lianfeng was 42 years old; from 1967, when they began to form a duet, to 1987, it has been 20 years. The impression left by the two singers and teachers was extremely deep, the image matched, the sound rhyme was harmonious, the song and dance were carried, and the tacit understanding was really a combination of pearls, which made the audience amazing.
In the performance of the troops, starting from a song they had retained for many years, "Border Guards Carry Letters to Come", to "Young Friends Come to Meet", more than a dozen songs were sung continuously, which made the officers and men very excited.
At that time, the "Forward Song and Dance Troupe" of the Shenyang Military Region came to our troops almost every year to offer condolences and performances, and left a deep impression.
Once, when he heard that the hospitalized patients could not see their performances, he rushed to the division hospital and performed for the wounded and sick in the canteen. Teacher Ren Liwei, a famous singer of the Shenyang Military Region, learned that the cooking class was cooking and did not have time to watch the performance, so she went to the cooking class's room with several other singing actors and sang songs for the cooks next to the stove. The fire is booming here, and the sound is full of emotion over there.
In the 1990s, the "Forward Song and Dance Troupe" came to our grassroots troops, and in order to enliven the performance atmosphere of the club, an actress came to the stage and asked to find a grassroots cadre living in two places to sing the male and female vocal duet "Fifteen Moons" with her. Because this cadre who likes to sing is incomplete, singing out of tune, do not want to, the young singer has been abducted out of tune. After everyone listened, there was immediate thunderous applause, and the "Forward Song and Dance Troupe" was grounded in this way with the grass-roots troops.
When the troops returned from a major mission, the army's literary and artistic work groups immediately went to the troops to perform condolence performances. In September 1998, when we returned from the flood fight in the Baicheng area of Jilin Province, the military region immediately sent the "Forward Song and Dance Troupe" to our department for condolence performances.
The leader once said: "An army without culture is a stupid army, and a stupid army cannot defeat the enemy." For some time, there was also a saying circulating in the army: "A revolutionary song is a political lesson." The army's cultural work is to educate and enlighten people, to boost the morale of the troops, to be a powerful weapon for defeating the enemy, and to form a glorious tradition formed by our army when it was in the Red Army.
The unit's literary and artistic groups often perform in the troops, and the sports work departments also send down the troops. In the 80s of the last century, the young women's basketball team of the People's Liberation Army's Bayi Workers Brigade came to our unit for exercise, and it happened to be led by The former national team and the famous athlete of the Bayi men's basketball team, Mr. Mu Tiezhu.
When I came to the army, I carried out a friendship league between the grassroots troops and the Bayi Youth Women's Basketball Team. There is no professional basketball team in the grass-roots units, and the best basketball players are temporarily selected in the whole division unit to compete with the Bayi Youth Women's Basketball Team. The result of the game can be imagined, the Bayi Youth Women's Basketball Team won over our grassroots men's basketball team.
Whether it is from the technical tactics of basketball, or the height of the players, our players have a gap, and their skills are not as good as people. After all, the Bayi youth women's basketball team is tall and occupies the advantage on the field, plus the male comrades in front of the female comrades, it is not easy to fight closely. Friendly matches, the atmosphere is active, it doesn't matter who loses and who wins? As long as everyone's morale is raised, it is a win-win situation.
In that year, the officers and men of the unit met for the first time with the giant of China's basketball Zhongfeng and the Chinese giant Mu Tiezhu, and everyone took a group photo with him. I am very impressed, the average person is 1, 7 meters tall - 1, 8 meters, is considered to be a middle and upper class. However, as soon as he stood next to Teacher Mu Tiezhu, he immediately became an unattainable little one. Most of them only reached his chest, and the small man reached the waist of Teacher Mu Tiezhu. My son was only 4 years old at the time, and when he first saw Mu Tiezhu, he exclaimed, "Ah! Too high, like a pole!? ”
Another time, under the organization of our organs, we happened to meet elementary school classmates, former national basketball team members, Bayi men's basketball team members, and later Qian Limin, political commissar of the Bayi Workers' Brigade.
In that year, he returned to the basketball team of the Shenyang Military Region from the national team and the Bayi men's basketball team, served as the captain of the basketball team of the Shenyang Military Region, and led the basketball team of the Shenyang Military Region to train at the grassroots level.
Looking back now, the literary and artistic and sports groups of the army served the troops, whether they were singers, celebrities, ordinary actors, or basketball stars, they were all approachable, modest and cautious, and had a shining heart of ordinary and public, because they cared about the grass-roots officers and men of the army.
