At this moment, some of the naval officers and soldiers on their shift break were sitting in the lounge watching CCTV programs transmitted via satellite communication.
Upon hearing the CCTV-4 Straits program broadcasting "Ten Thousand Frontiers," the officers and soldiers immediately turned up the TV volume.
My eyes were fixed on Wang Yueheng, who was leading the children in singing in the video.
The officers and soldiers on the naval vessel were already familiar with this singer who had spoken out for military wives.
His popular songs have also become widely circulated on ships thanks to advanced communication technology.
Many officers and soldiers on naval vessels have become fans of Wang Yueheng, and their biggest way to relax in their spare time is to listen to his songs.
"The Lone Warrior," "A Bridge of Fate," "Nocturne," "A Journey of Blossoms"...
And the recently released songs "Red Dress," "Golden Armor," and "Beautiful Myth"...
Each song brings spiritual relief and comfort to the naval officers and soldiers who are far from the bustling city.
"Touching the flowing light, brick by brick, the years have soaked the red walls."
"Sighing at the cycle of life, the withering and flourishing of every flower and tree, the joys and sorrows that have endured the vicissitudes of time."
"Across the vast wilderness and across the nine provinces, all one color resides in my heart's homeland."
"Only the path of China's new brilliance is blossoming..."
This new song, performed live, features vivid and evocative lyrics, perfectly complemented by a moving vocal performance.
In an instant, these officers and soldiers, far from their hometowns, felt as if they were actually there, experiencing the magnificent beauty of their motherland.
Some of the naval soldiers in camouflage uniforms couldn't help but hum along softly to the melody.
Fang Tong, the female soldier in charge of cultural and artistic propaganda on the ship, also immediately noticed the song.
Fortunately, the television programs on board the ship can be watched on replay.
After listening to the song once, Fang Tong, a member of the performing arts troupe, immediately replayed the program and recorded the song.
I plan to learn to sing and then use it in the ship's cultural performances.
Compared to those traditional old military songs.
Such a new song, which vividly describes the beautiful landscape of our motherland, is sure to pique the interest of the officers and soldiers on the warships.
It is hundreds of nautical miles away from the 1.01 million-ton destroyer.
The Liaoning aircraft carrier is currently patrolling the South China Sea.
The ship's political commissar, Xie Liangye, who had just finished lunch, also unexpectedly heard the song "Wanjiang" that had just been broadcast through other officers and soldiers.
A moving melody, lyrics depicting the beautiful landscapes of the motherland.
This also touched the heart of the political commissar immediately.
Especially when you see the footage of Wang Yueheng giving music lessons to poor children in remote areas of the grasslands.
Xie Liangye felt the same way.
He himself also came from a school in a remote mountainous area.
As the first college graduate from the village to attend a key university, Xie Liangye joined the naval fleet after graduating from military academy.
With his excellent performance and outstanding work style, he rose step by step from a junior officer to an aircraft carrier commander.
Standing at the porthole of his rest cabin, Jie Liangye gazed at the surging ocean, his heart filled with a myriad of emotions.
I never expected to hear such a moving song in a place so far from my homeland.
Previously, songs of this caliber would most likely only appear at large-scale galas such as the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day celebrations.
"The red sun rises in the east, its grand avenue bathed in rosy light."
How fortunate I am to have been born into your family and share your bloodline!
"Sharing hardship and happiness together, they stood tall and resilient."
"Our nation's vast territory is bound by an enduring faith in benevolence that has lasted for millennia."
Listening to the songs coming from the ship's radio, I felt the same way as General Zhang Zhong, who had experienced the most difficult times in national defense.
Political Commissar Xie Liangye's emotions surged with excitement.
Gazing at the surging waves in the distance, he couldn't help but recall the words of a military academy instructor who had passed away.
"Cannons are used to measure the area of the land!"
"Dignity lies only on the edge of a sword, and truth lies only within the range of cannons!"
They lack faith in loyalty to their motherland.
Without the blood, sweat, and toil of generations, how could we have the powerful weapons to defend our motherland's territory?
Where does the upright spine come from!
At this moment, Wang Yueheng's singing filled the air.
He felt as if he were looking through the aircraft carrier's porthole and seeing again the warplanes that had crashed into the sea after being struck by enemy aircraft in order to defend their homeland.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Political Commissar Xie Liangye couldn't help but raise his hand in salute to the spot where the 811 fighter jet crashed.
"The 811 fighter jet can return to base. We will take over your duty to defend our homeland!"
"Today, our motherland's vast territory will never again be invaded by foreign tribes!"
