Soon, the table was filled with drinks and snacks. There was beer and red wine.
The music has already started, and Political Commissar Liu is presiding over it. The army is different, even the entertainment is so serious.
When he started to speak, the music immediately dropped. He said: "Today is a happy day for our military division, because we welcomed the head of the garrison area, and the leaders of our municipal government also visited our military division to provide guidance.
At work, here, I would first like to thank the chief and city leaders for their care and support for us..."
Chief of Staff Zhang immediately interrupted him, "Xiao Liu, don't use so many clichés, stop talking! It's eight hours away now, and I don't want to listen to your work report anymore. Play me a song right now, soldier."
people!"
Su Wen and her friends laughed immediately, and Chief of Staff Zhang smiled and said to them: "Look, the people in our army have also learned to use official accent. If we go to the battlefield, wouldn't this mean that we will lose the battle?"
Political Commissar Liu put down the microphone and sat over. I noticed that there was no trace of embarrassment on his face. He smiled and said to Chief of Staff Zhang: "Chief, I have already ordered a song for you."
Chief of Staff Zhang stood up immediately and took the microphone from Political Commissar Liu. The music had started and he started singing. When he just sang the first line, Su Wen started covering her mouth and laughing. I immediately
He glared at her. Then she stopped laughing.
Chief of Staff Zhang's singing voice is indeed not very good. There is no technique at all. The singing voice is hard but full of energy. He also has a good grasp of the rhythm. Generally speaking, it is very suitable for his status as a soldier.
Passionate and passionate. These are the characteristics of his singing.
I feel very good.
He is a soldier, not a singer. His singing expresses his military qualities.
After he finished singing, everyone applauded, and the people in the military division applauded most enthusiastically. Of course, I know that they have been trained to applaud like this.
However, this atmosphere still made Chief of Staff Zhang very happy. And I immediately motioned Su Wen to toast him.
Chief of Staff Zhang drank it all in one gulp.
People from the military division came to pay tribute to me. In such an atmosphere, I had to drink, but I was surprised to find that drinking beer after drinking white wine actually had the effect of relieving hangover. After drinking a few glasses of beer, I felt better.
many.
Later, everyone sang. Su Wen's voice was actually very average, but the one from the Municipal Youth League Committee sang very well. She sang the Peking Opera "Su San Qi Jie", which was very charming, with correct words and smooth accents, and was pathos and moving.
.And I found that when she sang, her whole person seemed to completely change, her face glowed with a different brilliance, and she looked extremely charming.
Chief of Staff Zhang was also full of praise for her Peking Opera. He said to me: "I never thought you still have such talents in Shangjiang City."
Su Wen said: "We have a lot of talents in Shangjiang City, including poets, calligraphers, etc. Our Shangjiang City was called Shangjiang Town in ancient times. Many famous poets, such as Li Bai, Bai Juyi, Su Dongpo, etc., are here.
I lived here for a while. Therefore, our Shangjiang City is also an ancient cultural city."
I know what she said, but I have always thought it was just a simple promotion and introduction to the place. I really didn't expect that this place turned out to be a place where dragons and tigers are hiding. It seems that I will have to get in touch with those people in the future.
.
The culture of a place is very important. Culture and economy always complement each other, and economic development alone is like a person who only grows taller but lacks calcium. Sooner or later, he will continue to grow taller and collapse his body. Cultural heritage is what makes a place prosperous for a long time.
The foundation of culture is like the root system of a tree. Only when the roots are deep can the leaves be luxuriant and can withstand any wind and rain.
This society is too impetuous. People always focus on the single indicator of economy. I have always agreed with this. I think that if you want to truly manage a city well, you must not ignore the cultural heritage of the city.
Cultural heritage is a huge wealth for a city, which needs to be discovered slowly and carefully built. This is the long-term solution.
Of course, this kind of problem is just a temporary thought for me. Many things cannot be decided by a deputy like me. Now, I am fully aware of one thing: power, it can determine the future of a city.
In such an atmosphere, it is impossible for everyone to talk about cultural issues. Here, everyone is drinking or singing. The atmosphere is very warm, and everyone drinks with passion and boldness. However, I found that the military
These people in the division still remember the rules even when they are drunk. They are respectful every time they toast to Chief of Staff Zhang and me.
Later, Chief of Staff Zhang danced with Su Wen and the others respectively. When he danced with Su Wen in his arms, I found that I had an inexplicable uncomfortable feeling in my heart.
The first person I went to invite was the person from the Municipal Youth League Committee. While we were dancing, I asked her: "You are good at singing Peking Opera. Have you ever studied it before?"
She answered me: "I learned it when I was a child. My mother used to be a member of the Shangjiang City Art Troupe, and she taught me."
So that’s it, I thought to myself, and then asked: “Where is your mother now? Is the city art troupe still there?”
She said: "The cultural troupe has long since ceased to exist. The place couldn't even pay wages. In the beginning, the state continued to allocate funds to pay wages. Later, the city leaders said that the cultural troupe should be responsible for its own profits and losses, and asked them to make money through performances.
If there are no big names in a municipal art troupe, who will watch their shows? What’s more, people nowadays are busy making money, so who has the time to watch any performances? People nowadays rarely even watch movies.
Every house has a TV, and quite a few people watch TV at home.”
I thought to myself: What she said is true. Nowadays, grassroots cultural units are like this. I asked again: "What about the people in the art troupe now? What do they make a living on?"
She replied: "Fuck you. The cultural troupe has some properties, and most of them are rented out to open game arcades or do other things. The income for a year can keep everyone fed and clothed."
I couldn't help but sigh.
She asked me: "Mayor Feng, you are the leader of the city. Are you going to continue to pay no attention to our city's cultural industry? Economic development is important, but culture is also a part of economic development. You said yes
I'm sorry? I'm a straightforward person, so don't blame me."
I smiled slightly and said: "This area is not my responsibility, so I can't directly intervene in this area of work. But in the future, I should pay attention to this aspect and take the time to visit the art troupe."
She immediately looked very happy, "Mayor Feng, that's great. Many people are saying that you are a practical person. I believe that as long as you pay attention to this work, our Shangjiang City Art Troupe and
There is hope for other cultural industries."
I smiled slightly and said, "Don't say that. I'm just the executive deputy mayor. In fact, I'm unable to manage many things."
She immediately said: "Mayor Feng, you are too humble. Everyone is saying that the mayor of Shangjiang City is actually you. Mayor Liu is a puppet."
I was immediately startled by her words, "Who said this? Mayor Liu is the mayor elected by the people of Shangjiang City, and his intentions are organizational. How did he become a puppet?"
She said: "Mayor Feng, this is not what I said. Everyone said so. Everyone said that Mayor Liu does not dare to make the decision on the city government's affairs. He will listen to you in everything. He is the one who really does things.
It’s also you. Also, you have carried out reforms in financial work, which are supported by ordinary cadres, but the heads and deputy directors of the government are very dissatisfied with you. Have you discovered it now? The business in major restaurants is more
It was much worse in the past. In the past, the top boss of a unit could just find a reason to go to a restaurant for a meal, but that’s no longer possible because they have to list specific reimbursement items when reimbursing.”
I immediately laughed, "That's good. My purpose is also to eliminate waste and unnecessary public consumption. Our Shangjiang City is already very poor, how can we continue like this? But Xiao Ou, what if Mayor Liu is a puppet? It's completely
It’s nonsense. I only implement everything after asking Mayor Liu for instructions, including the reform of our selection system.”
She smiled and said nothing. Her name was Ou Qing, and she was a thoughtful woman. This was the first impression she left on me after I met her today.
The woman in the organization department hardly spoke, so we just danced, and the time seemed very long. Originally, after Ou Qing and I finished dancing, we should have invited Su Wen, but Chief of Staff Zhang once again said
Invited her.
The uncomfortable feeling in my heart became even stronger. But I thought, who makes her the most beautiful among these three women? And I was criticizing myself in my heart: Who is she? Why do you want to
Going to eat that kind of dry vinegar? (To be continued)
