"We didn't say a word the day we knew you were leaving."
"When the midnight bells toll, they knock on the door of parting, causing heartache."
"But I couldn't break through your deep silence; that day I saw you off until the very end."
We didn't leave a single word on the crowded platform.
"The crowds who came to bid me farewell were so crowded, but they couldn't shake off my deep sorrow at parting."
I know you have a thousand words to say, but you refuse to say them.
You know how worried and sad I am, but I don't dare to say it out loud.
"When you shoulder your pack, you lay down that glory."
"I can only keep my tears inside and wear a faint smile."
"Wave vigorously and have a safe journey!"
The lyrics are simple and unadorned, accompanied by simple instruments and an emotionally resonant voice.
The entire playground fell silent instantly.
Only Yuan Yi's moving singing voice traveled further and further.
Every soldier, whether a soldier or an officer, had bloodshot eyes at that moment.
Looking at his comrades who had been with him for many years, he knew his brother was about to leave.
The tears flowed like a river bursting its banks.
The soldiers around him hugged their comrades who were about to leave the army.
It was as if this would keep them here.
The four ironclad bonds in life: studying together, fighting together, visiting prostitutes together, and sharing the spoils together.
People often talk about the camaraderie of soldiers, classmates, and educated youth, which embody deep feelings and sincere friendship. They go through hardships together, share joys and sorrows, and stand together through thick and thin. The "unbreakable" deep friendship that is easily highlighted in the connection of fate and the alternation of life is truly worthy of praise as "iron brothers".
Let's leave the others aside for now and just talk about this one who shared a gun with us.
In the military, the trust between comrades is such that they would be willing to take a bullet for each other at any time, and would completely entrust their backs and lives to one another.
This kind of brotherhood is forged and solidified through going through thick and thin together, sharing joys and sorrows.
Fang Min and her pilots looked at Yuan Yi singing on stage with surprise in their eyes.
"No, the gyrfalcon has this skill too?"
"Why haven't I seen him sing before?"
"No, we need to interrogate him when we get back; he's not being honest!"
"Exactly! He sings so well, why don't we ever see him perform for the guys usually!"
"This guy has never been to our base's club even once!"
"Nonsense, he's either studying or flying all day, where would he find the time to go!"
"We haven't had time to go these past two months, we've been flying around all the time."
A song is very short, only a few minutes long.
Yuan Yi had just finished singing and was about to leave the stage.
Someone below started jeering.
"One more song!"
"Yes, one more!"
"One more, one more, one more."
Yuan Yi stood on the stage, looking down at Fang Min and Colonel Zhang Tian.
"Since everyone is so welcoming, how about we have our pilot brothers sing another song?"
"Does everyone want to hear it?"
A person who can become a chief of staff is certainly not an ordinary person.
With just two simple sentences, the atmosphere was instantly transformed from sadness to enthusiasm.
Then you can hear the soldiers below shouting, "One more! One more! One more!"
Yuan Yi was naturally not intimidated; he was just unsure whether it was appropriate for him.
In this situation, he has simply found his comfort zone.
You have to understand, what kind of occasions hasn't this movie star seen in his past life? How many fans haven't he met?
In addition, after broadening his horizons in this life, he experienced several incidents caused by foreign countries.
His heart was practically indestructible.
You need to know how to handle this kind of situation.
"Camel bells".
The previous song, "Wishing You a Safe Journey," expressed the profound cultural background and best wishes contained in this phrase.
It not only expresses the hope that others will have a safe journey, but also implies the wish that others will have a smooth and successful future.
Whether it's a friend, family member, or stranger, a simple "Have a safe journey" can convey warmth and support when someone embarks on a journey or faces new challenges.
Especially when friends or brothers are heading to a new work environment or place, they express their best wishes, hoping that they will be safe, well, and well.
The second song, "Camel Bells," is a song with lyrics and music by Wang Liping and sung by Wu Zenghua. It is the theme song of the 1980 film "The Prisoner in Handcuffs."
The lyrics of "Camel Bells" depict the deep affection between comrades-in-arms at the moment of parting, as they bid farewell to their comrades on their journey, silently shedding tears, with the sound of camel bells ringing in their ears.
This emotion is tragic and profound, expressing the frequent separations between comrades in their revolutionary careers, and the enduring bond that remains despite the separation.
The lyrics, "The road is long and foggy, and the revolutionary career often involves parting ways, but the feelings are different despite the same separation," reflect the emotions of comrades supporting and encouraging each other on the difficult revolutionary path.
The lyrics of "Looking Forward to Reunion" express the comrades' expectations for the future and their longing for a reunion, with the lines "Beware of the cold north wind at midnight, take care on your journey" and "Wait for the spring breeze to bring good news, we will meet again."
The lyrics, "With mountains upon mountains and rivers flowing through them, their spirit remains unbroken against the wind and current, and they will not fail the people who nurtured them," showcase the resilience and indomitable spirit of revolutionary fighters in the face of difficulties and challenges, expressing their determination to fight for the interests of the people.
After Yuan Yi finished his second song performance, he walked from the stage to the audience in Eagle's Nest.
The way everyone looked at Yuan Yi changed.
"Wow, I never expected you could sing! Your singing made me cry!"
"When I retire, you have to come and sing me a farewell song!"
"Speaking of which, I think some of our soldiers are retiring this year, right? When we get back, let him sing a few songs for our comrades!"
A farewell party for comrades-in-arms lasted until lights out.
Yuan Yi and his group had training duties the next day, so they naturally wouldn't participate in the 808th Division's farewell ceremony the following day.
On the morning of the second day after the party, everyone was seen off by the ground staff.
Having completed the takeoff preparations, they have a training mission at sea today.
"Calling the gyrfalcon, report your physical condition."
At this moment, at an altitude of 10,000 meters, Fang Min, aboard the early warning aircraft, called out to Yuan Yi, who had just completed various training maneuvers.
"Reporting to the golden eagle, it is in good health and can continue training for the next subject!"
"good."
"Now we're split into two squadrons: gyrfalcon, eagle, black hawk, night owl, and sparrowhawk."
"You are a team."
"Owl, goshawk, rooster hawk, sparrowhawk, red-headed eagle. You are team two."
"Conduct the second phase of aerial combat training."
"Team One received, Team Two received."
