In name only: In the name of Zhao Mengsheng's son!

Meanwhile, Gao Fangfang, who was in the room, was covering her head as she served tea and water to Zhao Zhongxin!

"Have some tea, have some tea, hehe! Brother Xin, are you really planning to let me sing this song?"

Gao Fangfang smiled obsequiously! She was clearly subdued after being beaten!

"Otherwise what? You know I don't know many girls. You, Chen Yang, are tone-deaf, but you're the only one who can sing decently!"

Zhao Zhongxin rolled his eyes at her. He had just learned everything and was speechless. This Gao Fangfang was outrageous. He had only inquired about her name, and she had assumed he was in love with Zhong Xiaoai, making it known to everyone! But after beating her up, his anger had subsided! He said irritably.

"What?! Xin-ge, can't you speak properly? What do you mean by 'act like a human being'? Doesn't Sister Chen Yang have any humanity? I'm going to tell Sister Chen Yang that you're talking badly about her!"

Gao Fangfang said with dissatisfaction, and Zhao Zhongxin glanced at her!

"Go ahead and go, she's not my girlfriend, what's it to me? Why would I be afraid of her? That's ridiculous! Are you going to sing or not? If not, I'll find someone else!"

"Sing, sing, sing! You're truly my brother! I love this song so much! Should I kowtow to you? Otherwise, I won't feel right. You're repaying evil with kindness!"

Gao Fangfang quickly replied, "Of course I'll sing! I've always loved music, but my dad forced me to attend the Department of Political Science and Law at Handong University. Now that I can make a name for myself through music, I couldn't be happier!"

"Okay, then will you kowtow to me?"

Zhao Zhongxin raised an eyebrow, and Gao Fangfang, without further ado, immediately knelt down on one knee! Knowing that Zhao Zhongxin was from Beijing, she deliberately imitated a Beijing accent!

"Alright, Brother Xin, no, Master Xin, may you be blessed!"

This left Zhao Zhongxin both amused and exasperated. He was just joking, and Gao Fangfang actually took it seriously? He always said that being a funny guy or a funny girl requires talent; no amount of effort will help!

"Alright, alright, get up now!"

Zhao Zhongxin quickly told her to get up!

"Hey Xin, I think this song can't just have piano accompaniment, it needs guitar, and also..."

Gao Fangfang was speaking when Zhao Zhongxin interrupted her!

"No need, I've already found someone. Your song is just the ending theme; I've put together a program! Our class and your class are doing it together!"

Zhao Zhongxin had actually brought a military band. Although his father, Zhao Mengsheng, wasn't in the army anymore, his reputation still mattered. Borrowing the band was a piece of cake for him, and the program they were putting on was even about the War of Resistance against Japan! The military band was more than happy to oblige! No matter who was supporting Japanese fascism, the military band would always lend a hand!

"Oh? Really? May I see the script?"

Gao Fangfang also became interested, and Zhao Zhongxin handed her another manuscript from his pocket!

"In 1945, Japan surrendered..."

Zhao Zhongxin was going to perform the ending scene of "My Brother is Shunliu," and those lines were truly heart-wrenching.

"The Japanese devils killed so many of our people, and now that they've been defeated, they've thrown down their guns, stopped fighting, and are going home. Even animals go home, so why shouldn't they fight? Even the Japanese devils can go home, but what about my home?"

Zhao Zhongxin felt uncomfortable just reading those lines, let alone shouting them out!

The next day, at the rehearsal hall, Hou Liangping was clearly unhappy!

"Why did I have to play a Japanese soldier? And a suicidal one at that! I'm so handsome and dashing! At least give me a role as a Nationalist soldier!"

Hou Liangping knew he wouldn't be the lead actor, since Gao Fangfang was the one who sang the ending theme song, which was part of their class's performance. But he couldn't accept the idea of ​​him playing a Japanese soldier!

"Didn't you want to play a role with lines? This is the only one left with lines. Chen Hai signed up with me first; he'll play a Kuomintang soldier! Qi Tongwei will play Shunliu! And there's a passerby, are you in or not?"

Zhao Zhongxin pursed his lips. Hou Liangping himself said he wanted to act in it, but he didn't even approach Hou Liangping. Now he's being picky! Hou Liangping has the temper of a spoiled young master, but doesn't Zhao Zhongxin have one too?

"Senior, it's me, it's me!"

Hou Liangping was speechless. He had originally planned to make a name for himself at the New Year's Day performance so that Zhong Xiaoai would notice him and ask him to play a Japanese soldier. Would that work?

"Monkey, it's just an artistic performance, why are you so concerned?"

Qi Tongwei smiled. He was sporting a buzz cut, which he hadn't initially liked, but after reading the script, he decided to take the role!

"Yeah, monkey, why care so much? If you don't act, there are plenty of other people who will!"

Chen Hai also remarked that, after all, there were over a hundred people from two classes, and many wanted to act! However, he also breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully he arrived before Hou Liangping, otherwise he would have been the one playing the Japanese soldier. Although it was a Nationalist soldier, he was surnamed Chiang, not Wang Jingwei! He could accept that!

"Yes, I'll do it!"

Although Hou Liangping was unhappy, he gritted his teeth and agreed. He was also afraid of offending Qi Tongwei and Zhao Zhongxin. Others had specially reserved roles for him, but he refused to act in them. He still wanted to join the student council!

The rehearsal went exceptionally smoothly for the group, especially Qi Tongwei, whose screams made everyone feel uncomfortable!

The New Year's Day performance arrived quickly, and it was time for Qi Tongwei and his team to perform!

First, Hou Liangping played a Japanese devil who, holding a radio, heard the Japanese surrender proclamation and went mad, speaking in broken Japanese-style Chinese!

"Why, why, why did this happen! Why surrender! My commander's revenge is still pending!"

Then he just started yelling everywhere!

This was a scene Zhao Zhongxin added for him. He didn't like Hou Liangping to begin with. Originally, the scene was about Hou Liangping seeing the urn broken, saying a few words about Chinese fighting Chinese, and then the urn being broken, so he committed suicide. Since Hou Liangping liked characters with lots of lines, then director Zhao Zhongxin added more scenes for him!

Soon, it was Qi Tongwei's turn. Qi Tongwei's performance was smooth, and when I heard that line!

"Stop going crazy, the war is over!"

Qi Tongwei began to shout that sentence at the top of his lungs!

"The Japanese devils killed so many of our people, and now that they've been defeated, they've thrown down their guns, stopped fighting, and are going home. Even animals go home, so why shouldn't they fight? Even the Japanese devils can go home, but what about my home?"

Qi Tongwei was so immersed in the role that he was in tears! His lips were trembling!

The students below initially felt a sense of satisfaction seeing Hou Liangping's portrayal of the Japanese surrendering, finding his helpless demeanor truly gratifying. However, upon hearing this line, they all seemed to be struck by a chord: "Yes, why should they?"

Even the school leaders couldn't help but nod in approval as they watched the performance. The president and secretary of Han University had both come through the War of Resistance Against Japan, and now, hearing such a powerful and resounding performance, and most importantly, the acting of Qi Tongwei was superb! He portrayed the unwillingness, the pain, and the sorrow so vividly!
