The audience below the stage clearly saw Lan Ning's growth and changes.
From being timid at the beginning to having an increasingly determined look in his eyes.
After the female general died in battle, Lan Ning resolutely took over the duties of the female general and led a group of female soldiers to guard the border and fight a bloody battle with the enemy.
"We don't know how long it will take for the imperial court to support us. We may be left alone today! In the past, we women were confined to the inner chambers, never leaving the house, let alone the chance to join the army or enter government."
"It was the general who, with his wisdom and hard work, endured indifference and disapproval, and withstood the pressure, step by step, earned us the opportunity to join the army!"
"Now we wear this armor bought with the blood and bones of our comrades. We must not retreat! If the country is destroyed, where is the home? Women can also stand tall and proud."
"We will resolutely not let the enemy country set foot in our Central Plains!"
"Fight to the last soldier!"
The armor on Lan Ning emitted a silver light under the sun, making her look like a sharp sword shining with cold light.
The female soldiers behind him all had expressions of being ready to die, and the words they shouted were so loud that they almost broke the sky.
They originally had no choice, and the end of their life could be seen from the moment they were born.
Yes, there is someone.
He fought for them to have the opportunity to join the army.
Yes, there is someone.
Guide them to pick up swords and guns.
Yes, there is someone.
Stand in front of them and guide them towards another path. Compared to getting married and having children, they want to realize their own value and want to give it a try.
Now that the female general has died in battle, it is their turn to fight.
"Fight to the last soldier!"
"Fight to the last soldier!"
"Fight until..."
This part of the opera is extremely passionate, from Lan Ning's initial despair and collapse, her mind full of pain and unwillingness of being abandoned by her husband, to the end, when she stands in the vast snow, facing the corpses on the ground.
Love affairs, family affairs, not being a good daughter-in-law, not being a good wife and mother, all these seemed so insignificant and ridiculous at that moment.
She suddenly didn't want to miss the days when she was married.
Watching the enemy army rushing across the border, watching comrades die one by one, watching women fighting hard for their country and themselves, watching the status of women gradually rise and gain recognition and respect from this era.
She suddenly woke up, worked hard to build up her physical strength, and rushed forward with a knife, creating a new world for herself.
The curtain slowly fell amid the excitement of the crowd, and this time it did not rise again, indicating that the play had ended.
But the audience in the audience was already fascinated by the show and couldn't help but want to shout along with the female soldiers on the stage.
Miss Lu stood up excitedly and wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief.
At this moment, she seemed to understand something...
What is it?
What she wanted from the beginning was just a choice! She wasn't told from the moment she was born that she would get married and be filial to her parents-in-law and not fight back.
You have to be docile, obedient, and behave like this and like that.
"Did you see that last scene?"
"Some of the female soldiers also gave birth to children. But when they left, the children looked at their mothers with admiration, as if they were looking at a hero. I have never seen such eyes..."
"It turns out women can fight on the battlefield and defend their country... The power gap is so huge, can they really do it?"
