Return To 1977 Chapter 488: The storm has passed

lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!

According to Han Shan, the Commander-in-Chief has just inspected the Naval Academy. And because I know him, I asked him to accompany me throughout the whole process.

During lunch, Han Shan thought about the kindness of the Yang family and saw that General Xiao was very kind to him. I suddenly had the courage to mention "Night at the Military Port" during the dinner, and wanted to help the Yang family find out.

Unexpectedly, General Xiao said he had no knowledge. She was even very interested when she heard that the song was written by the youngest son of her old partner Yang Yaohua and immediately asked to listen to it.

After hearing this, General Xiao expressed his liking on the spot and praised Yang Weifan for his talent. He said, "It's a blessing that he is our own child in the navy! He can sing the life of the navy so beautifully, which will inspire many people's yearning for the navy and their enthusiasm to join the navy. Very good!"

This reaction was completely opposite to the rumors. Han Shan felt that something was fishy, ​​so he briefly reported the situation in the capital to General Xiao.

As a result, the commander-in-chief frowned while listening, and after listening, he said, "Someone wants to cause trouble."

When he left that day, he asked Han Shan to explain the misunderstanding to Yang Yaohua, saying that he would investigate the matter carefully and would never wrong the child. Please rest assured, Yang Yaohua.

After hearing what Han Shan said, Yang Yaohua and Moody were both surprised and relieved, and at the same time they couldn't help but feel a lot.

One is that they are very grateful to Han Shan. They feel that the relationship they have had for so many years is really not fake. This man repays his kindness and really played a role in rescuing people in times of crisis. It’s really gratifying and touching.

Another point is that Yang Yaohua himself is completely convinced by his old superior.

He originally thought that people would be full of grudges about those things back then, so how could he fix himself if he had the chance. Even if this matter has nothing to do with him, it would be good if he didn't add insult to injury, and he would probably be happy to see his own joke. But who would have thought that... Looking at it now, he is really angry at his own little family.

For this reason, he couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart, "This is the true style of a general. No wonder I can't surpass him after working all my life, and I am always only a lieutenant general!"

General Xiao is definitely a man of his word. Within three days, he fulfilled his promise and publicly gave full affirmation and praise to "Night at the Military Port".

At a high-level meeting of the Navy, General Xiao took the initiative to bring up this matter.

"I have listened to the song "Night at the Military Port". That song reflects the life of the army. It is full of seafood and emotion. It is very good. People who lack understanding of the navy cannot create such excellent songs. Some people To say that the song is soft, I don’t think so. The sea can accommodate a lot of content. Our navy does not only have the advantage of being masculine.”

Then, at this meeting, he gave instructions on the cultural work of the army.

"Now is the era of reform. All walks of life are undergoing reform, and cultural work is no exception. Due to the long-term influence of the 'Left', everyone has different views on things and has some discussions. This is normal. The military art troupe serves the military. , serve the soldiers. I think as long as the soldiers like it, the troops like it, and the masses like it, we can act and sing boldly!"

But this was not the end. The next day, General Xiao made another speech on this issue at a meeting of agency cadres.

Not only did he criticize some extreme remarks without naming them, but he also emphatically stated, "The navy is a special branch of arms. Warships have to go to sea and aircraft have to fly into the sky. What's more, we are guarding the front line of the country and have frequent coastal combat missions. Without Systematic professional and technical training is not enough. To ensure this, internal unity and stable military morale are very important. Therefore, we must be cautious in dealing with our own internal problems in the future, especially not to follow the wind and rain. Is there any chaos that is not caused by external interference? Comrades, there are always people with ulterior motives who want us to be in chaos, so we should not give them an opportunity to fight among ourselves..."

The results were immediate, and the tone of the naval political department immediately changed.

Not only did they retract all the handling opinions issued to the "Haiphong Song and Dance Ensemble" some time ago, but they also specifically comforted Moody. Commendations and awards were issued, saying that the song and dance troupe had pursued innovation and change under her leadership and had achieved outstanding results. Moody was still the leader of the "Hai Zheng Song and Dance Ensemble" who had backing and prestige.

Some people hiding in the shadows were panicked.

Never in their wildest dreams did they expect that General Xiao, who had a lot of grievances with Yang Yaohua, would take the initiative to refute the rumors. Use the most open, direct and powerful way to express your support for the Yang family.

I bet the deputy commander-in-chief was right! This navy is monolithic! Even if it’s like a hot kiln inside, they will still be consistent with the outside world!

At this moment, all their plans were ruined. After weighing the new situation, not only must we cease all activities. He had to quickly cover up the traces so that no one would find any clues.

So the situation was brought under control so easily. It's as if the objections never came up. The entire literary and art circle of the army is in a good situation of harmony, stability and unity.

However, in the end, General Xiao's upright words completely silenced the rumors and blocked the mouths of those who wanted to continue to express their objections.

But to be honest, Yang Yaohua and Moody were frightened by the hidden dangers and nastiness in this process for a long time.

So for this reason, when Mr. Xiao came to Beijing for a meeting, Yang Yaohua and Moody specially brought Yang Weifan with them to pay a visit and express their gratitude for this friendship.

Of course, Yang Yaohua is no longer as arrogant as before. Through this meeting, this pair of old comrades-in-arms, old friends, and old partners became grateful and magnanimous, and all the old discords disappeared.

Even the story of this handshake and happy talk reached the ears of "great men", so Yang Weifan's song was heard by chance because of this incident, and it also won praise from the "ruler" of the Republic.

"...these songs are all very nice. The younger son Yaohua is very good. They say that generals are like tigers. I never thought that they can also cultivate literary and artistic talents. Well, there is really no need to stuff our next generation into combat troops. Well. I think this is good. This is the same as our literary and artistic policy. Let a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend. It is all one style and one model. How can the literary and art stage prosper?..."

As the saying goes, "listen to the sound of gongs and drums, and listen to the sound of speech." After these words came out, Yang Yaohua took the initiative to adjust the positions of his eldest son and third son after thinking about it.

He not only arranged for his eldest son Yang Weiguo to apply for reinstatement, but also transferred from the Air Force to local politics. The third son, Yang Weijian, was also transferred to the "Naval Warship Academy" to engage in teaching work.

Not to mention, this move quickly received a good response.

Not long after, Yang Yaohua and General Xiao were invited to "Zhongnanhai" as guests. The old superior was happy to catch up with them and entertain them for a meal.

The "great man" during the dinner was not only very concerned about Yang Yaohua's health, but also praised Yang Weifan by name again, saying that the children of the Yang family are all outstanding and expected them to achieve outstanding results in various fields in the future.

Then there was a series of surprises.

First of all, Yang Weifan got the opportunity to perform at the "National Day Reception" to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Secondly, Yang Weiguo's change of career was originally planned with the expectation that "no matter what general, it will be the same if he leaves. No matter what school, the change of career will have no effect."

Unexpectedly, he didn't comply with the "two-level resettlement" rules at all, and he didn't sit out the bench. Instead, he went directly to the local area and became the deputy mayor with real power.

As for Yang Weijiang, although he can no longer board the ship and command the troops in person, his military rank has been raised one level.

So I have to say that this matter was indeed done correctly again, and the prospects of the Yang family have completely improved as a result.

For Yang Weifan, he is both unfortunate and lucky.

Had it not been for his special family background, he would never have become the focus of this storm.

And the risks behind this incident are actually far greater than the ups and downs encountered by the original songwriter of "Night at the Military Port" in history, and the consequences are also more serious.

Fortunately, there is a good ending in the end. Not only did the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy voice his support, but he actually gained the attention of the first person in the Republic. This in turn allowed him to reap countless benefits.

First of all, he no longer worries about any big hats being slapped on his head. If the imperial edict is followed in the future "songwriting" and stage performances, there is no need to tie one's hands and feet, and you can feel free to do it.

Secondly, his reputation was further enhanced by this, not only establishing his position as a leader in popular songs. He has also become a benchmark figure who started the development history of popular music in our country.

And the controversy he experienced was equivalent to endorsing popular songs and gaining a certain degree of "political" recognition. This makes those popular song performers subject to much less criticism, criticism and restrictions in the future.

This kind of far-reaching significance, let alone Yang Weifan. Even Hong Yanwu, the real instigator of all this, probably didn't expect it at all.

He and Yang Weifan have unintentionally changed the history of the development of popular songs in our country and greatly improved the ecological environment of pop music in our country.

In the summer of 1979, most people actually did not know the inside story of the "war" caused by "Night at the Military Port", but they did regard Yang Weifan as their idol. Especially young people who are also engaged in theatrical performances and pursuing artistic achievements.

In mid-July, a 27-year-old young man was brought into the "National Film Orchestra" by the director of "Beijing Film Chief".

Then the factory director found his old friend Xie Lisi and asked her to help show this young man. Is it possible to become a singer?

Xie Lisi was very curious, so she asked this young man why, instead of being a good actor, he came to sing in the "National Film Orchestra"?

The young man said that his "thick eyebrows and small eyes" were contrary to the mainstream aesthetics, and his acting development was not great. But I think it's okay when I sing popular songs with my voice. He also said that he liked Yang Weifan's songs very much and hoped to become as popular a singer as Yang Weifan.

As a result, this young man immediately impressed Xie Lisi with a song called "Little White Poplar" that he had practiced for a long time. She said happily, "You have a good voice." She accepted him as her student.

This young man is called Wang Jieshi.

Also in mid-July, the "Haifang Song and Dance Troupe" recruited a girl who had won the first prize in Erhu performance at the "Henan Children's Art Performance" to join the troupe as an Erhu soloist.

When this twelve-year-old girl with a cute baby face came to report at the "Haiphong Song and Dance Ensemble", she only cared about one issue.

"When the whole group rehearses in the future, can I see Yang Weifan? Can I see Su Xiaoming?"

After getting the affirmative answer, she was so happy that she almost jumped up holding her erhu.

The girl’s name is Cheng Lin.
