Chapter 147 The Military Song Resounds

The New Year's sunshine shines on the land of Hong Kong Island, adding a touch of warmth to this vibrant city.

Xiao Qingfeng was both excited and nervous when he learned that he would be going to the troops stationed on the island with the delegation.

From childhood, his greatest idol has been the military. They sacrifice their lives for the country and dedicate their youth, deserving the respect of all Chinese people.

On the morning of the visit, on the way to the troops stationed on the island, Xiao Qingfeng and other artists and singers talked about their expectations for the visit.

Many artists have participated in relief and support activities before, but this is Xiao Qingfeng's first time.

However, the main task of the delegation was to bring joy and warmth to the officers and soldiers stationed on the island, and to express their respect and gratitude to them, something Xiao Qingfeng was no stranger to.

Therefore, Xiao Qingfeng worked overnight to compose the background music. Fortunately, Liu Huade had a very professional team and a ready-made recording studio, so everything went very smoothly.

Although the time was a bit rushed, the result was satisfactory.

As the delegation's vehicles slowly entered the area occupied by the island's troops, a solemn and dignified atmosphere immediately enveloped them.

The neat barracks, the fluttering bright red flags, and the well-trained soldiers all made them feel the discipline and strength of the army.

A sense of reverence arose spontaneously in everyone's heart.

The stage for the performance was set up on the military parade ground, and the staff were busy with the final installation and setup.

The stage backdrop was a huge red banner with the slogan "Salute to the troops stationed on the island," the bright red standing out prominently in the sunlight.

Flowers and greenery were placed on both sides of the stage, adding vitality and energy to the entire scene.

With the sound equipment tested and ready, the lighting technicians were constantly adjusting the lighting effects, striving to create the best atmosphere for the performance.

As the start time of the visit approached, the officers and soldiers arrived at the parade ground one after another and sat neatly in the audience seats.

Their faces beamed with expectant smiles, and their eyes revealed their eagerness for the performance.

Xiao Qingfeng and other artists and singers are also ready. They are eager to present a wonderful performance for the officers and soldiers on stage.

Amidst enthusiastic applause, the performance officially began.

The host walked onto the stage and expressed his heartfelt respect and gratitude to the troops stationed on the island.

The host stood in the center of the stage, looking affectionately at the neat and solemn officers and soldiers below the stage, and said in a passionate voice: "Respected officers and soldiers of the island-stationed troops, on this New Year's Day, we come here with the most sincere respect and gratitude."

"You are the steel Great Wall of our motherland, the loyal guardians of our homeland. You are far from your hometowns, stationed on this land, silently dedicating your youth and passion to the peace of the country and the happiness of the people. Here, on behalf of all those who have come to express our condolences, I would like to extend our highest respect and heartfelt thanks to you!"

Thunderous applause erupted, creating a warm yet solemn atmosphere.

The host continued, "Next, let's welcome the dance 'A Song of Celebration in a Prosperous Age' with warm applause, which will open this wonderful performance for us."

As the music began, dancers gracefully leaped onto the stage, showcasing the prosperity and joy of this golden age with their elegant movements.

After the dance ended, the host returned to the stage: "Thank you for the wonderful performance by the dancers. Soldiers and officers stationed on the island, you are like the bright lights illuminating the darkness, protecting us every night. Now, please enjoy the song 'Starlight'."

The singer performed with deep emotion, and the song echoed across the playground.

As the song ended, the host said, "Every star represents a hope, and you, the officers and soldiers of the troops stationed on the island, are the brightest stars in our hearts. Next, let's enjoy the skit 'The Army and the People are One Family'."

The skit was humorous and heartwarming, drawing laughter and applause from the officers and soldiers.

After the performance, the host smiled and said, "Seeing everyone so happy makes us incredibly gratified. Soldiers stationed on the island, we see and appreciate your hard work. Now, please welcome our special guest for today, Xiao Qingfeng, who has just been crowned the seventh Heavenly King of the Chinese music scene!"

As soon as the host finished speaking, enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted from the audience.

Xiao Qingfeng wrote "The Lone Warrior" for firefighters and even took the song to CCTV's 815 Gala, which was watched by the officers and soldiers of the troops stationed on the island.

Many of the officers and soldiers stationed on the island are fans of Xiao Qingfeng's songs, and they love his music very much.

Xiao Qingfeng walked onto the stage with steady steps, looking exceptionally handsome in a sharp suit.

He smiled and saluted the officers and soldiers, then took the microphone from the host.

"Dear officers and soldiers, good afternoon. I am Xiao Qingfeng. It is a great honor to be here to present a song to you. Before coming here, I was thinking about what kind of song to use to express my respect for you. I composed this song, 'We Soldiers,' on the spot. I hope you will like it."

Xiao Qingfeng stood in the center of the stage, the lights shining on him, as if draping him in a layer of holy radiance.

The music began softly, its gentle melody like waves lapping against the shore, creating a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.

Xiao Qingfeng closed his eyes slightly, immersing himself in the emotions of the song.

His voice was clear and warm, like the bright moon in the night sky, casting a soft glow.

Xiao Qingfeng stood in the center of the stage, his body ramrod straight like a poplar tree standing next door.

His eyes were filled with deep affection, as if expressing his respect and admiration for soldiers.

What makes us soldiers different?

[Simply because we were all wearing simple military uniforms]

What makes us soldiers different?

I've rarely seen my parents since leaving my hometown.

【They're different, but they're actually the same】

We are all young and full of passion.

【They're different, but they're actually the same】

The same footprints are left to the mountains and rivers.

...

Xiao Qingfeng's singing voice rang out, and the firm and powerful melody instantly spread throughout the entire playground.

His voice was deep and infectious, and every note seemed to strike the hearts of the officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers below the stage listened quietly, their eyes shining.

This song seemed to touch the softest part of their hearts, reminding them of their mission and responsibility.

They straightened their backs and sat more upright, as if responding to Xiao Qingfeng's singing.

Xiao Qingfeng's singing became increasingly passionate, as if he had transformed into a brave warrior, using his voice to express the glory and dedication of soldiers.

His face beamed with pride, and his singing was filled with respect for soldiers.

The officers and soldiers' eyes gradually welled up with tears, their hearts filled with emotion. This song was not just a song, but also an affirmation and praise for them.

Xiao Qingfeng's singing carries a touch of sadness, expressing the helplessness and concerns of soldiers.

The soldiers' thoughts were drawn back to their distant hometowns; they remembered their parents' expectations and their loved ones' longing.

But they knew they bore a sacred mission, and for the sake of the country's peace, they had to stay at their posts.

We soldiers are just different.

[Head resting on the bright moon over the border, body draped in rain, snow, wind, and frost]

We soldiers are just different.

For the sake of national security, we hold our guns firmly in our hands.

【They're different, but they're actually the same】

Everyone yearns for glory and wants to win honor.

【They're different, but they're actually the same】

[Simply because we were all wearing simple military uniforms]

We soldiers are just different.

For the sake of national security, we hold our guns firmly in our hands.

That's just how we soldiers are.

......

Xiao Qingfeng's singing voice became powerful again, expressing the heroism and bravery of soldiers.

The officers and soldiers' eyes were filled with renewed fighting spirit. They knew that the people remembered their hard work and dedication, and that was enough.

Although they are different from ordinary people, they also have youthful dreams and passionate feelings. They are proud to be soldiers.

As the song reached its climax, Xiao Qingfeng's voice surged like a torrent, impacting everyone's hearts.

"That's just how we soldiers are!"

The powerful singing echoed across the playground, lingering for a long time.

The officers and soldiers stood up and clapped loudly, their applause as loud as thunder, expressing their gratitude and respect for Xiao Qingfeng.

Xiao Qingfeng bowed deeply to the officers and soldiers.
