Kang Shumao was in charge of sales and art work in the cultural field at the Department of Land Reclamation, so he was able to turn Han Changchu's internal essay contest into a department-wide essay contest.
Kang Shumao is very concerned about conquering Zhang Hongcheng.
Because that kid is almost a jack of all trades!
Of course, a so-called "all-rounder" must have areas that he or she is not very good at, and Kang Shumao firmly believes this.
His final solution was to "use one's own strengths to overcome others' weaknesses."
Since you, Zhang Hongcheng, don't seem to have any obvious weaknesses, we will pull you to the areas and battlefields where we are best at.
Kang Shumao didn't want to use the sales business he was in charge of to attack Zhang Hongcheng. This guy was too weird in the business field. He was thinking about the artistic work apart from the writing part.
After all, many people in Yunshan Farm know that Zhang Hongcheng's singing is not good.
And the timing was perfect.
At the agricultural reclamation meeting that just ended, the department has already issued a notice on the possible ice flood situation that may occur after the beginning of spring this year.
All farm workers along the river must cooperate with the troops to prepare for going to the dam, and farms not near the river must also be prepared to support brother units.
This support work includes on-site consolation performances.
Kang Shumao smiled slightly.
In his opinion, the Red Flag Farm, which is mostly populated by female lesbians, is likely to be assigned this type of task.
Even if he was not assigned such a task, he would secretly "help" Zhang Hongcheng with a small favor.
After returning to his office, Kang Shumao immediately asked his secretary to summon leaders from all over the country to Harbin to attend a department meeting.
Kang Shumao is a very ambitious man.
After he took this position, he paid great attention to the affairs under his jurisdiction.
In fact, sales is not his strong point, so he is very conservative and lets his subordinates follow the trend.
The reason why he wanted to take charge of literary and artistic work was because it was his strength as he was born in the capital.
As soon as Kang Shumao took office, he integrated and optimized the various theater troupes and performance teams under the former Construction Corps.
They even spared no expense to recruit many artistic backbones from Jilin Province and Liaoning Province to join the art department of the Department of Agricultural Reclamation.
The integrated art department of the Department of Land Reclamation now has eighteen elite performance troupes under its jurisdiction, and almost every troupe has its own advantageous projects.
At an internal meeting held a few days later, Kang Shumao made arrangements for on-site visits to officials involved in ice flood prevention from March to April.
"All eighteen teams must go to the front lines! We need to build momentum, and the programs must suit the interests of the soldiers and the general public."
Kang Shumao specifically mentioned the names of three performance troupes.
"Your three troupes are the focus of support within the department. Especially the pillars of your three performance troupes, you must give full play to your best performance."
"I see your three pillars are all heading west..."
There were some things Kang Shumao was reluctant to say too bluntly at the meeting, but his secretary would find the leaders of the three performance troupes after the meeting to have a good chat with them.
The Chinese New Year of 1977 passed quickly.
The whole month of February passed by in a flash, mainly because all the employees of Hongqi Farm were confused by the various questions given by the director.
Zhang Hongcheng held Director Han's imperial sword of "Hongqi Farm must strengthen learning" in his hand, and pressured everyone to study mathematics, physics and chemistry hard.
He was bullying his subordinates because they didn't dare go to the bureau to ask the director what they were supposed to learn.
After entering March, expectations for this year's ice floods in various places are becoming more and more severe.
The main reason is that there is a strong warm air current moving towards the peninsula on the eastern sea, so this year's spring will not come as slowly as in previous years, but will come extremely quickly.
The sharp rise in temperature will cause the ice surface to crack and then melt. This year's floating ice period will be shortened, but the quantity and quality of floating ice will reach a peak in the short term.
The risk of dam collapse along rivers in various places is increasing sharply!
As Kang Shumao expected, Hongqi Farm was assigned a task half a month in advance - to set up a first-line performance team, led by Zhang Hongcheng.
As the warm air flow passed through Tianchi, the temperature in Heilongjiang Province rose sharply within a few days, and the river surfaces everywhere made terrifying cracking sounds.
Especially at night, this continuous sound frightened the people guarding the dam.
At the end of March, the clarion call for preventing ice floods was sounded.
The educated youth who were converted into farm workers were gathered together again and rushed to the river banks like dense swarms of ants.
And in front of them were a group of green military uniforms and the BA flag.
Since reporting on the essay competition at the beginning of the year, the radio stations of the agricultural reclamation system seem to have been given a boost, and the format of their reports on flood prevention news in various places has become more interesting.
For example, the performance troupes stationed in various places by the Department of Agricultural Reclamation all gathered in Harbin, and the news even gave them a name called "Eighteen Princes".
In particular, three of the mainstays of the performance troupes were specifically mentioned.
"Comrade Chen Xiuying was a pillar singer of the former Construction Corps Theater...;"
"Comrade Lü Huilan was the lead singer of the former Anshan Opera Troupe."
"Comrade Liu Huimin is from the acting team of the Changchun Film Studio..."
"Their three best performers have already set off to the front line of ice flood prevention - Jixi."
"Faced with the ice flood, we are fearless... Look at the three heroes on our literary and artistic front. Even a Lu Bu like the ice flood will retreat! This station will follow the report..."
Neither Zhang Hongcheng nor Chu Miaohong paid attention to the news. They were leading a performance team of more than 20 people to the river dam near Xianghong Commune.
