Chapter 100 Establish a position in one fell swoop!
"On the Taihang Mountains" is definitely a classic among classics.
This song was written in July 1938 on another earth. It is a chorus composed by the legendary Chinese composer Xian Xinghai for the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians who fought bloody battles against the Japanese invaders in Shanxi Province.
After the song was written, when it was premiered in Hankou during the Anti-Japanese War, countless people cheered loudly and applauded continuously. Then it spread throughout China, greatly boosting the morale of the soldiers and civilians across the country.
When this song was first written but not released, the second-ranking head of the Huaxia War personally sang a duet with Xian Xinghai and sang verses for it. Another chief even copied the lyrics and carried them with him, which is legendary.
At that time, countless heroic sons and daughters listened to this song and rushed to the battlefield to defend the country and fight tenaciously against the invaders.
The expression of a song requires an environment, so that it can arouse the greatest resonance.
This moment may not be the time of war, and perhaps the "audience" in front of them has not experienced war, but the few old generals who are singing the chorus in front of them have experienced it.
The same song has different effects when sung by different people, but the old generals in front of them obviously sang it with great impact.
They are witnesses of history. They are veteran generals who have emerged from the flames of war. Their songs are full of the vicissitudes of history, China's struggle, and the determination and courage of countless soldiers and civilians.
Although the Old General Chorus sang this song for the first time, although they were not very skilled yet, their momentum was enough to cover up everything else.
Just look at the expressions of these old generals during the chorus. They hold their heads high and are full of passion. They don't look like a group of old men with an average age of seventy-eight at all, but more like a group of unyielding fire heroes in the flames of war.
It was both tragic and uplifting, and the strong determination of the Chinese people to not surrender was perfectly displayed, making every audience extremely excited and excited.
"What song is this!"
"I feel like I saw the scene of all the people defending China during the Anti-Japanese War. They are real generals!"
The applause was thundering, and the customers in the restaurant couldn't help but ask, looking at the group of old generals.
Even the few foreign customers in the restaurant were like, "Oh my God!"
A group of veteran generals in their 70s and 80s sang together, and a senior general in his 60s played the piano excitedly to accompany the chorus.
To be honest, not to mention the classic song "On the Taihang Mountains", this scene is very impactful even if you sing a song casually.
Subconsciously, some customers who did not recognize Zhang Jiangang thought that Zhang Jiangang was also an old general. After all, Zhang Jiangang's spirit was also very strong and aura.
"That's so cool! I want to post it on Facebook!" When some domestic viewers were excitedly posting the video they recorded in front of them online or in Moments, the foreigners were also muttering excitedly and getting ready to post it.

Music and art are universal, and pearls will not be tarnished because they don’t understand the language of the lyrics. Just like many people don’t understand the meaning of the lyrics in an English song, but it does not prevent them from liking the song or even resonating with it. This is music and art.
And songs like "Taihang Mountain" are even more intense.
Anyway, the videos recorded by these customers were posted online today and instantly became popular.
Not only domestically, but also abroad.
These veteran generals with an average age of seventy-eight gave them a different kind of shock and passion. Young people even lamented on the Internet, lamenting the immortality of the veterans and lamenting the glorious victory of the Chinese people during the Anti-Japanese War.

A choir of more than 60 people, male and female sopranos, altos, and harmonies, an audio-visual feast!
Even Zhang Jiangang, who attended the party as a special guest, attracted countless gazes and exclamations.

It can be seen that the program team of this evening party attaches great importance to it and gave the choir time to perform 8 pieces. This is due to the status and qualifications of these veteran generals. On the other hand, there are more than 60 people, and of course it is also about quality.
I’m convinced, I’m really convinced!
This old man Zhang has contracted a choir all by himself!
As the host announced again and again and the live TV screen scrolled, the audience at the party looked at Zhang Jiangang sitting in the guest seat again and again, and the camera focused on Zhang Jiangang again and again.
At the end, the audience couldn't help but exclaimed a little.
Even though he is as thick-skinned as Zhang Jiangang, Comrade Zhang's face turned red.
"Don't shoot me, don't shoot me, I don't produce water, I'm just a porter of nature." Comrade Lao Zhang thought in embarrassment.
An audio-visual feast of military songs and revolutionary songs, definitely an audio-visual feast!
Although the vast majority of people today have not experienced that era, from tonight's performance and singing, everyone can feel the fighting will of the Chinese military and civilians of that era, as well as the high patriotic enthusiasm and unyielding spirit!
To be honest, not too many young people watched this gala, at least it was much smaller than the audience of the Spring Festival Gala, which has become increasingly disappointing in recent years.
However, every audience member who watched it did not regret it. The performance that impressed them most and was most enjoyable was naturally the performance by the Old General Choir.
And although many people didn't watch it, after word of mouth spread, countless young people took the initiative to search for tonight's performance of the Old General Chorus on the Internet.
At the same time, the old Comrade Zhang Jiangang became popular. One night, at a TV show, Comrade Zhang Jiangang established his position as the number one person in Chinese military songs and revolutionary songs in one fell swoop!
From today on, Zhang Jiangang is the first brother of the Chinese military and revolutionary songs! Oh no, the first brother!
Unshakable, really unshakable.
