1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 78: Reports (Fifth update, please subscribe)

The next day, early morning.

The entire Jiangcheng was covered with heavy snow, all in white and silver.

The temperature was so low that it made people shiver. Early in the morning, announcer Zeng Yunshan put a bottle of hot water in his pocket to keep warm.

In the morning, I ate a bowl of three-fresh bean curd in Liangdao Street, drank a cup of soy milk leisurely, humming Xiao Fang, which I had just heard yesterday, and walked to the office.

When he reached the entrance of the unit, he was stopped by the guard: "Lao Zeng has several large bags of letters from your music station!"

Hmm? There's our letter and a few big bags?
Zeng Yunshan’s first reaction was disbelief.

The news station and the storytelling station receive a lot of letters from listeners, but their music station can basically be described as deserted, with the most being a listener who would send a letter to request a song.

"Yes, it's the letter from your music station. Take a look. There are so many!"

The guard came out carrying two large bags.

"It really is!"

Zeng Yunshan swallowed his saliva. It was conservatively estimated that there were several hundred letters in these two large bags.

How is this going?

"Mr. Zeng, what was the name of the song you played on the station yesterday? It was really nice."

"Which one? There are so many songs played in one day."

"That's the thank you. I can't forget it."

"You mean Xiaofang?"

"Yes, yes, yes! You don't know, I heard quite a few people singing this song on my way home from get off work yesterday!"

This sentence made Zeng Yunshan think a lot. Without talking much with the guard, he ran to the office dragging two large bags of letters.

Returning to the dim office, Zeng Yunshan could not wait to open the letters in the bag. As expected, he opened five or six letters in a row, all of which asked him to continue broadcasting Xiaofang. At this time, he only had one thought in his mind:
“Xiao Fang’s song is really popular!”

……

But what really made Xiaofang's song popular was a report in the Yangtze River Daily.

The Yangtze River Daily is a newspaper with a profound historical background. It was founded on May 1949, 5, and the title of the newspaper was written by the founder himself.

As the official newspaper of the Jiangcheng Municipal Party Committee, it is the first state-approved newspaper unit and cultural industry unit in Jiangcheng, and is also one of the largest and most influential comprehensive urban party newspapers in central China.

Jiangcheng Daily: "People's Artist Who Can Sing and Dance - Comrade Liu Xiaoli"

Subtitle: From a pure and flawless white swan to a simple and innocent rural girl!

"Yesterday, the first Spring Festival Gala of Jiangcheng City ended at 11 pm. This year's Spring Festival Gala, whether in the arrangement of the program, the performance of the actors, or the layout of the stage and the lighting effects, all reflected a high level of artistic pursuit and professionalism.

The program content is rich and varied, ranging from skits, dance, music to drama!

In particular, the Swan's Death Dance Troupe represented by Comrade Liu Xiaoli amazed all the audience present! The song Xiaofang moved the audience so much that everyone in the audience shed tears..."

Once the newspaper was published, it quickly appeared in newsstands on the street, in bookstores, and almost everywhere.

As a local newspaper in Jiangcheng, the Yangtze River Daily is very popular in Jiangcheng and has a huge circulation. At its peak, the daily circulation could reach as much as 400,000.

Today, after the reform and opening up, social and economic development is rapid, people's demand for information is growing, and newspapers, as an important information dissemination medium at the time, have naturally become an important channel for people to obtain news and knowledge.

Newspapers are not only disseminators of information, but also guides of public opinion and reflectors of cultural life.

The Yangtze River Daily not only reports major news at home and abroad, but also pays attention to local social life, economic development and cultural activities, and is deeply loved by readers.

Many units, factories, and schools would place special orders for this report. Therefore, once this report was published, the citizens of Jiangcheng, employees of major units, and workers of major factories would discuss it in their units after seeing the news newspapers.

"Have you heard? Liu Xiaoli from Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater was featured in the Yangtze River Daily! She is highly praised as an outstanding people's artist. Both the ballet "Swan's Death" and the song "Xiao Fang" have guided the public's aesthetic taste and are deeply loved by the public."

"We went to see it a few days ago. Comrade Liu Xiaoli is so beautiful and outstanding! I didn't expect Xiaofang to be so popular. Our Xiaobao can sing when he is only a few years old!" Wuhan Iron and Steel Workshop.

Several female workers had smiles on their faces and were chatting while working.

Scenes like this happened in every corner of Jiangcheng, big and small. People were surprised to find that the new songs played on the radio were actually original songs created by the people of Jiangcheng, and they were so beautiful.

So in the following few days, the streets, bookstores, roads, trams, concrete ships, and courtyards were almost filled with the words "Thank you for giving me your love, I will never forget it in this life..."

The adults hummed a few lines while they were working.

The children also learned a few lines, and sang and danced in the streets while setting off firecrackers.

Totally popular!

It's not just the Yangtze River Daily.

In the evening, the Jiangcheng Evening News also reported a comment: "The educated youth who returned to the city abandoned his lover, and the infatuated girl waited bitterly, which was heartbreaking!"

"Chutian Metropolis Daily": "A song called Xiao Fang sparked heated discussions, and the pure emotions touched the hearts of citizens!"

The Hubei Daily followed suit, "Provincial Educated Youth Office: Severely criticize the morally corrupt and bad behavior among the educated youth group!"

A number of official media outlets rushed to report the story behind the song.

Everyone is looking forward to the novel "Fragrant Grass", its publication, its plot, and the story between Xiaofang and the educated youth who went to the countryside.

Xiaofang's wave, with Jiangcheng as its center, slowly spread to the entire Hubei Province, and even gradually showed a trend of spreading to the whole country.

……

Jiangcheng is a thoroughfare connecting nine provinces, and many trains pass through it every day.

On the Yangtze River Bridge, a train whizzed past, carrying a group of educated youth returning to the city.

They will soon return from the remote, poor countryside to the clean, comfortable, beautiful and developed big cities.

The educated youth were filled with anticipation, excitement, anxiety, and mixed emotions.

In the carriage, four young educated youth sat facing each other, their eyes full of anticipation and excitement about returning to the city.

One of them was a male educated youth wearing a military coat and a red sweater underneath, fiddling with the radio in his hand.

At this time, I happened to tune into Hubei Music Radio Station, "On the night of returning to the city, you and I came to the river, and the tears that had never been shed flowed along the river. Thank you for the love you gave me..."

"Zhao Jianjun, what are you listening to? Why have I never heard of this song before?"

A female educated youth in her twenties with big braids asked curiously.

"It seems to be a story about a love story between an educated youth and a rural girl. The educated youth cruelly abandoned the rural girl before returning to the city..."

The male educated youth named Jianjun raised his head and said in a hoarse voice.

When several educated youth in the carriage heard this, their faces suddenly turned pale and blue, looking quite ugly.

They swallowed hard, their faces flushed with anxiety, and stiffened their necks and shouted, "Change it, change it, change it, what a crappy song! It's so unpleasant!"

"That's right! Turn it off immediately!"

Amid the restlessness of many people in the carriage, the comrade named Jianjun turned off the radio.

But he secretly memorized the name and lyrics of the song in his heart, determined to spread it.
