Reading Settings
After bowing deeply to the officers and soldiers, Xiao Qingfeng slowly retreated to the side of the stage.
At this moment, the host returned to the stage, his face beaming with excitement.
"Dear officers and soldiers, didn't Mr. Xiao Qingfeng's singing deeply move you? I have some good news to share with you all. Mr. Xiao Qingfeng has another song to dedicate to you next. The song is called 'Let Me Tell You My Heartfelt Words.' Let's welcome Mr. Xiao Qingfeng with warm applause once again!"
All programs participating in the慰问 (comfort and condolence) program need to be officially reviewed. Xiao Qingfeng wrote a total of five songs. According to the official statement, if it weren't for the time constraints, all five songs should have been selected, because none of them seemed to be tailor-made for soldiers and were full of red genes.
Finally, the official team consulted Xiao Qingfeng and ultimately selected the songs "We Are Soldiers" and "Let Me Tell You My Heartfelt Words".
After hearing the host's introduction, the audience erupted in applause, and Xiao Qingfeng strode confidently back onto the stage.
He smiled and nodded to the officers and soldiers, then picked up the microphone.
The music began slowly, different from the previous stirring melody. This time, the music was like a gently flowing stream, as if it had endless words to tell.
To be honest, I miss home too.
The elderly mother at home now has a full head of white hair.
To be honest, I have love too.
I often think of her in my dreams, the her in my dreams.
【Come on, since you've come to join the army】
Come and you'll know how great the responsibility is.
If you won't carry a gun, I won't either.
Who will protect our mother? Who will protect her? Who will protect her?
...
At this moment, Xiao Qingfeng completely immersed himself in the role of a soldier, singing this song from the perspective of a soldier.
Although Xiao Qingfeng is not a real soldier, his performance felt abrupt and incongruous, instantly drawing all the officers and soldiers into the context of his song.
At that moment, even the officers and soldiers involved seemed to feel that Xiao Qingfeng was a soldier, a warrior, just like them, and was singing his own story.
Xiao Qingfeng's voice was gentle and affectionate, and every word seemed to carry endless longing.
The officers and soldiers below the stage listened quietly, their expressions gradually softening.
Many people's eyes revealed their longing for home, and those faces that were once incredibly resolute on the training field now showed a touch of tenderness.
"To be honest, I also have love, and I often think of her in my dreams, her in my dreams..." As the song continued, the soldiers' eyes began to redden slightly.
They thought of their families far away, their parents' worries, and their loved ones' waiting.
They sacrificed their time with their families for the sake of the country, and this dedication and sacrifice felt especially heavy at this moment.
Xiao Qingfeng's singing became increasingly heartfelt, as if he were expressing the soldiers' longing and concern.
"Come on, come on, since you've joined the army, you know the responsibility is great..."
The officers and soldiers' eyes welled up with tears; their hearts were filled with emotion.
They knew their responsibilities were immense; for the sake of the country and its people, they had to remain at their posts. But at this moment, their longing was touched by the song, and their hearts were filled with warmth.
To be honest, I'm not stupid.
I understand the hardships and challenges of military service.
To be honest, I also have feelings for them.
The warmth and comfort of everyday life nurtured me.
[Although that's how it is...]
Come on, only with a country can there be a home.
If you don't stand guard, I won't stand guard.
Who will defend our motherland? Who will defend our homes?
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!
If you don't stand guard, I won't stand guard.
Who will defend our motherland? Who will defend our homes? Who will defend our homes?
The song echoed across the parade ground, and the officers and soldiers wore resolute expressions.
They straightened their chests, their eyes once again igniting with fighting spirit.
They know their sacrifices are worthwhile; they are the backbone of the nation and the guardians of the people.
After Xiao Qingfeng finished singing the last line, the entire audience fell silent.
A moment later, applause erupted like a tidal wave.
The officers and soldiers stood up and paid the highest tribute to Xiao Qingfeng.
Their hearts were filled with loyalty to their country, longing for their families, and unwavering faith in the future.
Xiao Qingfeng bowed again, his heart filled with emotion. It was undoubtedly his greatest honor that his singing could bring warmth and strength to these brave soldiers.
At this special moment, he felt the greatness and selflessness of soldiers, and became even more determined to use music to spread positive energy.
The performance concluded in a peaceful and warm atmosphere.

Sunlight shone on everyone's faces, their smiles bright and warm. The sound of a camera shutter captured this unforgettable moment forever.
