The young and resolute faces were captured on camera and broadcast to the world, showcasing the mighty and civilized image of the Chinese Navy!
At this moment, a solemn yet enthusiastic atmosphere permeated the air.
Wang Yueheng, waiting in the actors' rest area, was quietly adjusting his state.
A familiar and capable figure, guided by staff, suddenly walked briskly through the crowd toward him.
"Yue Heng! It really is you!"
Wang Yueheng looked up at the sound and saw Wang Bing, the leading lady of CCTV and a beautiful reporter.
The other person was looking at him with surprise and delight, especially when their gaze fell on his brand-new naval lieutenant uniform, which was filled with disbelief.
"Hello, Mr./Ms. Wang."
Wang Yueheng greeted him with a smile.
He and Wang Bing had interacted many times on previous CCTV programs, so they were old acquaintances.
"My God! Your...your military uniform..."
"I just heard the news and I can't believe it! You...you're now one of our navy personnel? And an officer at that?"
Wang Bing quickly stepped forward and looked Wang Yueheng up and down, her tone full of surprise.
The cameraman behind her had obviously received instructions and immediately pointed the camera at Wang Yueheng and the second lieutenant's epaulettes on his shoulders.
Wang Yueheng nodded frankly: "Yes, Sister Wang. I was specially recruited into the army thanks to the organization's trust."
"This is so sudden! What a pleasant surprise!"
"This is definitely the biggest news story today besides the aircraft carrier's commissioning! Could you please give me a brief interview? Just a few words!"
Wang Bing, as expected of a professional journalist, quickly composed herself, but the shock in her eyes had not yet subsided.
"sure."
Wang Yueheng, dressed in military uniform, cooperated with the camera.
"Teacher Wang Yueheng... no, now I should call him Lieutenant Wang Yueheng."
"First of all, congratulations on joining the Chinese Navy! Many of our viewers know that you are a very talented singer and songwriter. What prompted you to choose to put on a military uniform and become a naval arts soldier at such a crucial moment?"
Wang Bing handed the microphone to Wang Yueheng, her tone still tinged with emotion:
"It is a belief, and also a sense of belonging. Being able to join the glorious navy, to serve the officers and soldiers and boost morale with songs as a soldier, is the highest honor for me, and also a continuation of my dream."
Having long been accustomed to various interview scenarios, Wang Yueheng answered with a firm gaze and a calm tone.
"Well said!"
"So, how do you feel about making your first performance as a naval officer aboard the 'Dragon Might' aircraft carrier? Is there anything you'd like to say to the national audience, especially to your fellow naval officers?"
Wang Bing expressed his sincere admiration and then asked a question.
"I am very excited and deeply aware of the great responsibility. What I want to say is that today's song is not only a tribute to the celebration, but also a pledge from our naval officers and soldiers to advance into the deep blue sea!"
Wang Yueheng looked at the camera and didn't forget to speak up for the other officers and soldiers on board.
"Yue Heng, keep it up! You looked so cool today! We're all so proud of you!"
After the brief but impactful interview, Wang Bing shook hands with Wang Yueheng to say goodbye, and couldn't help but whisper his praise.
The celebration ceremony officially began at 9:30 a.m.
As majestic music resounded on the aircraft carrier deck, all the officers, soldiers, and staff on site stood up and sang the national anthem in unison.
Solemn singing mingled with the sounds of waves and wind, echoing over the naval port.
After the national anthem finished playing, a senior admiral, with a vigorous and imposing presence, walked steadily to the podium set up at the front of the deck.
His gaze was piercing, sweeping across the entire room. Everyone who met his eyes could feel his majestic and powerful aura, like that of a mountain.
The entire room fell silent instantly, and all the cameras focused on one of the Navy's highest-ranking officers.
