A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

After finishing his call with Wei Zhirang, Su Fan put away his fishing rod and muttered to himself, "Looks like it's time to set off. I need to find a safe place to watch the excitement."

He poured the fish out of the bucket back into the reservoir and carried the empty bucket home.

I quickly packed a few clothes and booked a plane ticket to Jiangxi Province.

Meanwhile, online, countless people were clicking on the link to "Green Flowers in the Army" with great anticipation.

The intro begins with a simple guitar riff.

Everyone was a little surprised. In their minds, military songs should be loud and stirring, and belonged to brass instruments and war drums.

But the intro to this song is too bland.

At that moment, Zeng Yue's singing began.

"The cold wind blows and leaves fall"

The army is a green flower

My dear comrade, don't miss home.

Don't think about your mother.

……

When those words were spoken, the chat in the live stream instantly fell silent.

It's not that it sounds bad, it's that it catches people off guard.

No one expected a military song to begin like this.

It lacks the stirring and passionate tone typical of military songs.

It lacks the powerful and resonant quality of a march.

It just sat there quietly, like an old soldier chatting with you.

The singing continued.

"I call out to you day and night"

So many heartfelt words

Don't let tears well up in your eyes when we part.

"The barracks are our warm home."

……

Upon hearing this, the comments section completely fell silent.

No one sent comments or typed anything; everyone listened quietly.

At first, some people imagined young soldiers standing guard in the snow, training under the scorching sun, and patrolling the border.

But at this moment, these scenes are no longer about passion, glory, or defending the country—those grand words.

Instead, they became individual people.

They also have mothers, they also have loved ones, and they also think of the lights of their hometown in the dead of night.

"Mom, don't worry."

My child, I have grown up.

Standing guard and on duty is to protect the country.

Not afraid of wind and rain.

……

When this line was sung, many people's eyes began to redden.

These lyrics are simple, as simple as what every soldier says to his mother on the phone.

"Mom, I'm fine, don't worry."

But it is precisely this simplicity that makes people unable to hold back.

These are the words that soldiers in the military say when they call home.

It's not about being loyal to one's country.

It wasn't about dying on the battlefield.

Instead, I said, "Mom, I've grown up, don't worry about me."

Heartfelt blessings to Mom

May my mother enjoy good health and a long life.

Go home during the celebration.

"Visiting my good mother again"

……

When Zeng Yue sang the words "good mother," her voice trembled slightly.

It's not about skill, it's about genuine feeling.

It sang out the softest corner of every soldier's heart.

When that sentence came out, the comments section finally started flooding back up again.

But it's no longer all about laughing and joking.

Instead, it brought tears to my eyes, line after line.

"They've broken through!"

I miss home!

……

If the family affection sung earlier is a gentle knife that softly cuts through everyone's defenses...

So, the following paragraphs about love are like rubbing salt into the wound.

"There is a good girl in my hometown"

I often dream of her.

Men in the military also have feelings.

I also wish to accompany you to the ends of the earth.

Simply because of the heavy responsibility

I have no choice but to put love aside for now.

The drifting white clouds carry my love.

"The army gave her a green flower."

……

When these few sentences came out, the style completely changed.

It wasn't a loud wail, it was silence.

It's that kind of silence where someone bites their lip, stares at the screen, and can't type a single word.

Those soldiers who were serving in the military secretly wiped away tears after hearing this.

Everyone has been young.

Who doesn't have someone living in their heart?

Before putting on their military uniforms, some people mustered up their courage and said, "I like you."

In return, I received a "I'll wait for you".

But some people, even until the moment they board the train, never manage to say what's on their minds.

That name is hidden in my diary, hidden in my dreams, hidden in the gaze I cast into the distance every time I stood guard.

It remained hidden for many years.

After the song was over, everyone felt a little uneasy.

The passages about family affection make one homesick.

The passages about love are heartbreaking.

With those two knives stabbing down one after another, no one could withstand it.

Those emotions hidden deep in the heart were pulled out line by line by this song.

"I am a veteran. When I heard the words 'Don't think about your mother,' tears immediately welled up in my eyes. I served in the army for five years. Every time I called home, my mother would say, 'Everything is fine at home, don't worry about me.' But I knew that she was crying every time she hung up the phone."

"When I left to join the army, I didn't have time to confess to the girl I liked. When I came back after my discharge, she was already married. After listening to this song, I turned off my phone and sat alone on the balcony for a long time."

"I had just confirmed my relationship with my boyfriend when he went to join the army. It's been three years now, and what I want to say is, I'm willing to wait, no matter how long it takes!"

……

This song is very popular, both in terms of streaming requests and comments.

Yang Junqi nodded in satisfaction as he watched the number of views steadily climb in the background.

He told Linna, "The effect is good. We can learn from those cultural tourism companies and make a music video for this song to further promote it!"

However, what they failed to notice was the different voices emerging in the comments section.

It's not a question.

This is not criticism.

Rather, it is a deeper resonance, accompanied by a tremolo.

Some people cried while listening to this song.

Some people couldn't sleep after hearing this.

Someone wrote a very long message, but couldn't continue writing it.

Those young people who had already registered, passed the physical examination, and were waiting to enlist suddenly had doubts after listening to the song.

"I had already made up my mind to go, but after listening to this song, I suddenly felt a little reluctant to leave my mom. She's home alone; what will she do without me?"

"I cried several times after listening to this song. I wondered, can I really hold back my homesickness?"

"When I signed up, I was filled with enthusiasm, feeling incredibly honored to be able to defend my country. But after listening to this song, I suddenly felt reluctant to leave my girlfriend!"

"I've wanted to join the army since I was little. I finally passed the physical exam, but after listening to this song, I cried half the night under the covers. Suddenly, I don't know if my choice was right!"

"I cried while reading the comments section. The stories of those veterans and their wives made me feel that being a soldier is great, but it also scared me. I was afraid that I wasn't strong enough!"

……

The various departments of the conscription office originally used this song as a powerful propaganda tool.

Major platforms are pushing it out in turn, as if they want every young person of the right age to hear it.

To their surprise, the number of applicants not only did not increase, but actually began to decline.

Someone noticed something was wrong and quickly investigated the cause.

After looking at the data over and over again and checking the channels, I finally found the comments section.

As I scrolled through the entries, I became increasingly alarmed.

The news quickly reached Yang Junqi.

He put down what he was doing, turned on his computer, and clicked into the comments section of "Green Flowers in the Army".

It would have been better if I hadn't looked at it; once I did, my head started spinning.

"Holy crap, this is terrible, something horrible has happened!"
