Soon, I watched a special performance program on TV about the folk songs of Inner Mongolia's "Duo Tai". My heart burned with a long-lost nostalgic passion, and I recalled that 52 years ago, when I was in the old company of the Corps, I had met a "two-person Taiwan" singer in the countryside of Inner Mongolia.
There is a peasant singer 82 who sings the folk song "Errentai" in Hongliu Qidan Village
In the early 70s, the author photographed in the company sunflower field.
In the early 70s, I had just arrived at the old company, which was located on a salt-alkali flat, in the middle of nowhere. As soon as I had free time, I went to the village of Guoqiqidan near the company. At that time, I received a monthly allowance of five yuan, which belonged to the poor educated youth. Sometimes, I trade the clothes of the old regiment with the villagers for eggs. As the days went by, I got acquainted with some of the villagers in the village. Among them, I got acquainted with Zhu Banzhi, a sheep herd in his 50s from Guoque Qidan Village. (Zhu Banzhi was indeed a man of culture in Guo Que Dan, a teacher at a normal school in Lanzhou in the fifties, and was branded as a rightist and relegated to the pot to herd sheep.) Once, I met Zhu Banzhi, a shepherd, and I asked him, "Teacher Zhu, what kind of singing can you hear in your village except for the barking of dogs and the barking of livestock?" Zhu Banzhi told me: "There is a descendant named Eighty-two in Hongliuqidan Village, ten miles away, and the "Errentai" is really good at singing, and women and dolls, old men and descendants all love to listen to his "Errentai" folk songs. As soon as he opened his mouth to sing, they could not take a step on their feet.
So Zhu Banzhi told me the story about Eighty-two. Speaking of eighty-two, his family is poor. At that time, the production team worked for three dollars per day, and eighty-two worked tirelessly every day, and only earned three dollars a day. Because his family was poor, there was not a straw mat on the big kang and the matchmaker in the village did not come to his door on weekdays. The eldest girl in the neighboring village also thought that his family was shabby, and none of the girls took a fancy to him. I asked Zhu Banzhi: "Why is he called eighty-two?" Zhu Banzhi said: "When his mother gave birth to him, his grandfather was exactly eighty-two years old. Then Guo Erdan recounted to me: "Eighty-two is a bitter child, when he was five years old, his grandfather kicked his legs and choked, when he was ten years old, his father and mother died one after another, he didn't read a day, so he herded sheep for the production team for ten years." But eighty-two, a descendant, was born with a good voice, and the popular folk songs of "Errentai" in Inner Mongolia and the Great Northwest, he sang vigorously, boldly, and roughly, which made people cry when they listened to it. "Zhu Banzhi is a cultural person, he also likes **, he has a certain appreciation for the "Errentai" folk songs, I respect him very much, I call him Teacher Zhu. He also told me: "Errentai" every folk song deeply contains the legendary story of love, tragedy and happiness of the people in the great northwest, as well as the real feelings of the suffering life, and has a very deep folk song cultural heritage, which is popular for the people of Inner Mongolia and the great northwest. I heard Zhu Banzhi, who had lived in the northwest, a profound insight and comment on the "Errentai" folk songs, which benefited me a lot, I grew up in Baotou, and I also liked the "Errentai" folk songs since I was a child.
Since Zhu Banzhi told me about the experience of eighty-two, I began to pay attention to this peasant singer, and I thought in my heart that I would take the time to go to Hongliu Yudan to visit eighty-two. It was a winter Sunday, and I took a hike to the village of Hongliu. This is the first time I've been to Eighty-Two's home. His home is in a dilapidated courtyard at the east end of the village, I walked into the yard, just in time for him to come home from the field, I looked him up and down, he was of medium height, stout build, dignified eyebrows, a typical Hetao man, at a glance I knew that he was a good hand at growing crops. Eighty-two also looked at the strange me carefully, he didn't treat me coldly, but he smiled and said, "You are a passer-by, you want to drink saliva, I will boil some boiling water in a pot for you." (Inner Mongolia dialect: boiling water is boiling water) I took the initiative to say politely: "You are eighty-two?" Singing the folk songs of "Errentai" has become famous, I am an educated youth of the Corps, and I also love to listen to the folk songs of "Errentai". Eighty-two first heard that I was an educated youth from the corps company, and wanted to listen to the "Errentai" folk song, he enthusiastically took my hand and said cheerfully: "Hurry up to the kang, the brothers of the corps come to my house, and they are my guests." His thick Hetao words were as hot as fire, showing a simple and honest Hetao person. The two of us chatted all over the world, and eighty-two spoke with humor. I got on the kang, and the kang was hot. After boiling water in a cauldron, he poured me a large porcelain bowl of boiling water. He was discharged from the hospital again and took firewood to light a fire to cook, and the house was as warm as spring.
It was almost noon, and I wanted to leave, but Eighty-Two warmly kept me for dinner. I felt that the first time I came, I didn't have any contact, and I was a little ignorant to stay for dinner, and I lost the face of the educated youth of the Corps. I told him that I had just arrived from the company and that I was not hungry. He laughed and said: "Brother Bingtuan, you are not real, in our Hetao, when you come home, you are friends, if you don't eat today, the two of us will not be friends, not to mention, I will go to your company in the future, and you will have to take care of the food." I nodded and agreed to stay for dinner. Don't look at the rough eighty-two, but he cooks very neatly, and he rolls noodles wide, cuts potatoes and picks vermicelli very skillfully. After a while, the home-cooked rice of the Inner Mongolian farmers, the lasagna, was ready. I saw eighty-two stew pork vermicelli in a pot first, and then put a basin of water after the vegetables were stewed, the water was boiled, and the noodles were wide. Today was the first day to eat the home-cooked rice eaten by farmers in the countryside of Inner Mongolia in 82 houses, and I felt that the food was particularly fragrant, and I let go of my stomach and ate two large bowls of gnocchi noodles.
After eating, the enthusiastic eighty-two used the authentic Hetao dialect to sing me a local folk song "Climbing Mountain Tune" in Inner Mongolia
Erla millet rice sour porridge porridge and spicy horn vegetables, should people be called?
The light on the pot table is half a kang and the kang is bright, who leaves a personal thought?
Come and walk in the wind and sand in the snow, who will take in the brother who pulls the camel?
The rice in the yam pot in the core of the earth, the sweetheart I am looking for is you.
I grew up in Baotou since I was a child, and I have heard the folk songs of the Errentai sung by the actors of the Baotou Song and Dance Troupe, and today I can enjoy the "Climbing Tune" in the original folk songs of the Northwest Duorentai, which is the first time. Eighty-two, this coarse man in Inner Mongolia, he has not learned Xi knowledge of music theory, he can't read music, he doesn't know what vocal singing art, when he was a child, he learned to sing the song of "Errentai" with the old sheepherd, he has a smart brain and has ** talent. As the days went by, he gradually mastered the art and skill of singing. When he sings about sadness, his feelings are very delicate, and the tune is tactful and long, like crying and complaining, and he is sad to listen to. In the Cultural Revolution at that time, in addition to the overwhelming hustle and bustle of red songs, Errentai belonged to an alternative ** and was wrongly classified as a yellow song. For thousands of years, the local folk song "Errentai", which is deeply rooted in the northwest, has been loved by the people of the northwestIn the short time of that day, I enjoyed the old version of "Errentai" folk songs such as "Big Cherry", "Cutting Wheat" and "Water Scraping West Baotou" sung by 82. I craned my neck and my eyes to admire the peasant singer's singing, and I was very happy that there was no microphone or curtain in the dilapidated adobe house that day, and I was the only one in the audience.
A few days later, when I went to Hongliu Qidan Village for the second time, I took an old army coat issued by the Corps for Eighty-two, because for the first time I saw Eighty-two wearing a torn cotton jacket that leaked cotton. He was so touched that he grabbed my hand for a long time and didn't let go. As long as I have free time, I will go to Hongliu Yudan to listen to eighty-two singing a few songs of "two-person stage". Don't think that eighty-two is illiterate, but many folk songs such as "Playing Money", "Grinding Cake Noodles", "Fifth Brother Herding Sheep", "Walking to the West Exit" and many other folk songs in "Errentai", he sings very well, and the lyrics are not bad at word, which really makes me admire his good brain and memory.
On the days of the ninth cold day, the crops are free, and some cats play poker and drink soju at home. Eighty-two's home was lively, he raised his voice and sang the "Errentai" folk song, and half of the children and dolls in the village became his audience. He was eighty-two and twenty-eight years old, and he couldn't marry a woman. Every night, a bright moon reflects the 82 green pot cold stoves in the house, reflecting the lonely 82, cold and lonely he roared and sang "Singles Crying Wife", "Go to the West Exit" and other "two-person Taiwan" in the folk songs, the northwest with sadness and grievance two-person tunes floating in the night sky of the Hetao countryside in winter, tugging at people's hearts!
The female intellectuals fell in love with the poor bachelor Eighty-two who loved to sing the "Errentai" folk song in the village
As the saying goes, "Without the plane tree, you can't attract the golden phoenix." "Who would have thought that the poorest old bachelor in Hongliu Qidan Village, eighty-two, stepped on a bubble of shit, with peach blossom luck, eighty-two sang a desolate and poignant song touched the heartstrings of a female intellectual, a Baotou female intellectual, who went to the countryside to cut in line in Hongliuqidan Village, pushed open the dilapidated door of eighty-two and walked into his life. It was also the proudest and best time in Eighty-two's life. (At the end of the sixties, a total of seven Baotou intellectuals and three female intellectuals came to Hongliu, and this female intellectuals was Yang Xiaoliu, who came to Hongliuqidan from Baotou in 1969. A few years later, the four male intellectuals were recruited to Tielu, and the two female intellectuals also had a way, one went to Baotou Secondary School, and the other went to the county radio station as a broadcaster. Only Yang Xiaoliu is lonely and still stays in Hongliu Yudan Village to farm and earn work. Some people in the village said that Yang Xiaoliu spoke too straight, couldn't turn, had a lack of strings in his head, and couldn't do things.
I have met this female educated young Yang Xiaoliu in the eighty-second house, she is also my fellow villager and comrade-in-arms of Baotou, she is not the legend of the village people that her brain is lacking, but she is an upright, straightforward and fast-talking Baotou girl. She is not tall, she looks very delicate, and her eyes are watery. When she was in school, she just liked entertainment and singing, and she always had a youthful dream in her heart to be a female singer. As she went to the countryside to cut the queue to the countryside of Hetao, her colorful youth dream was also torn apart by reality. The educated youth partners in the village are all gone, and she has no way to stay in the educated youth point alone, looking lonely and lonely. Maybe her life was too lonely, and she fell in love with the "Duo Tai" folk song. She had already heard that there was a "two-person stage" singer eighty-two in the village. So, she got off work, and after eating, she went to Eighty-two's house when she had time to listen to Eighty-two singing the "Errentai" folk song. At the beginning, she just enjoyed it on the sidelines, but later, she also let go of her voice and sang, met the teacher, met the bosom friend, the more she sang, the more fascinated she became, and she returned to the Zhiqing point very late every day. For the "apprentice" of a female intellectual, Eighty-two was surprised and delighted, and he was afraid that the people in the village would gossip. Sure enough, there was gossip in the village, especially those old rural ladies with long tongues in the village: a big girl's house, always running to the house of an old bachelor who is seven years older than her, sooner or later something will happen! Some people also say that when men and women are together, dry firewood meets fire, it is really unethical!
Yang Xiaoliu, who has a stubborn personality, doesn't care about the fingers of the people in the village at all, she still returns from the ground, and after dinner, she hurried to the eighty-two houses in the east of the village, worships eighty-two as a teacher, and learns to sing the "two-person stage" folk song. She didn't know how to hide it, she threw her arms very generously, twisted her waist and sang and danced. The male and female masters and apprentices turned around in circles and performed a "two-person stage" folk song "Hanging Red Lanterns" to their heart's content.
Soon, the village party secretary talked to Yang Xiaoliu, and he said very seriously: "Yang Xiaoliu, you are a city girl, educated, knowledgeable, and have seen the worldYang Xiaoliu replied very simply: "Old branch secretary, I am very tired and boring to work in the fields every day, there is no cultural life in our village, I like the "Errentai" folk songs, people in the village like to say anything, just say anything, I am not afraid!."After listening to the words of this stupid female intellectual, the village party secretary shook his head and turned to leave.
When I went to Hongliu Qidan Village again, I learned that the peasant singer Eighty-two and the female intellectuals were married. I can't believe it's true!This Baotou female intellectual, who is seven years older than her, is not a peasant at eighty-two, and she is also the first female intellectuals in the whole commune to marry a peasant. She doesn't think his family is poor, because she loves the art of "Errentai" folk songs, and she also falls in love with this peasant singer, she has a simple and innocent heart like gold!For the sincere and steadfast love between this female intellectual, I was moved for a long time!I sent them belated blessings!
Their wedding, no dresses, no flowers, no rings, no wedding ceremonies, no guests and wedding feasts, and no blessings from friends, because no one knew and could not let anyone know, because the eighty-two families were poor and shy in their pockets, and only had a coarsely printed marriage certificate, with a golden wedding on a bright red background, and the red seal of the Revolutionary Committee of the Commune.
The eyes of the people of Hongliu Qidan are red, especially the poor bachelors of Hongliu Qidan. Eighty-two, who was poor, did not spend a penny of bride price money and did not hold a table of wine banquets, but married a female intellectual-young man from the city who went to the countryside and the village. Before getting married, Eighty-two smoked two cheap cigarettes for the production team leader, and the production team leader sent someone to paint the walls of the old house of eighty-two, so that the dilapidated house had a new look, which was the new cave house of eighty-two marriage.
In the past, it was only eighty-two singles singing "two-person stage," folk songs, but now husbands and wives sing with women, and husband and wife singers play a play. Eighty-two and his young wife held hands and sang a duet, both of them played the piano and sang harmoniously, which was a perfect match. It was the early seventies, and I was still working in a large collective production team. When the members of the production team were tired of working in the fields, the production team leader asked Eighty-two and his young daughter-in-law to perform a piece of folk songs such as "Errentai" and "Five Brothers Herding Sheep" on the field to encourage the members. The eighty-two couples never refused the request of the members. Whenever Eighty-two sang with his young daughter-in-law on the ground, while singing, they twisted and jumped, and the onlookers smiled happily, feeling that there were eighty-two and his young daughter-in-law singing the "Errentai" folk song, and everyone did not feel tired working in the field. I can imagine the scene of the couple singing the "Errentai" folk song on the ground: the field is the stage, the blue sky is the curtain, the green grass and green water are accompanied, and they are attached to nature, what a beautiful picture of rural style ......
Eighty-two and his daughter-in-law went to the commune's propaganda team to sing a red model play
The following year, I was transferred to a company far away. But I inquired from acquaintances about Eighty-Two's family. At the end of autumn that year, as soon as the crops returned to the warehouse, the secretary of the commune came to Hongliu Qidan to inspect the work, and personally performed the "Errentai" folk song with his young daughter-in-law. He was fascinated by what he heard, and he said to the village party secretary: "Eighty-two and his wife are singing materials, and you have to ask the production team to record two work points for their husband and wife every day, and I decided to let eighty-two and his educated young daughter-in-law temporarily transfer to the commune's "** ideological propaganda team" to sing the red revolution model play. As a result, 82 and his young daughter-in-law appeared on the stage of the commune, which was also the first time that 82 and his young daughter-in-law appeared on the literary stage of the Red Revolution.
Eighty-two is a natural good singer, and he can sing new songs as soon as he learns them. The husband and wife followed, and the couple soon became the pillars of the commune's "** ideological propaganda team". The couple performed the revolutionary model play "Red Lantern". Eighty-two plays Li Yuhe, his educated young daughter-in-law plays Li Tiemei, the audience is husband and wife, and the stage is father and daughter. Under the guidance of the director and actors of the Inner Mongolia Peking Opera Troupe, the couple quickly entered the role. That year was the fifteenth day of the first month of the Lunar New Year, and the commune's ideological propaganda team officially performed the red revolution model play "Red Lantern" on the commune's local stage. The commune's loudspeaker roared for a long time, and the big girls, little daughters-in-law, old people, and dolls from all villages crowded under the commune's earthen stage. I only heard the gongs and drums beating, no matter how well the actors and others who played "Grandma Li" sang well, many villagers were not interested, and when Eighty-two and his young daughter-in-law appeared on the stage, the villagers and audiences under the stage applauded. Eighty-two, who had already put on makeup, was really different from his young daughter-in-law, her face was red, and her eyebrows and eyes were painted black. Eighty-two, who is dressed in a railway blue costume and a big shell hat, (playing Li Yuhe) holds a red light in his hand, majestic and majestic, and he sings with a clear eye. There is also his young daughter-in-law, wearing a red cotton jacket, with a big black braid combed on her head, (fake braids) she sang sonorously, and the peasant audience under the local opera stage, especially the villagers of Hongliu Yudan, clapped their hands one by one, and their hands were red.
What makes the villagers and the audience even more fond of listening is that Eighty-two and his young daughter-in-law sang in the Hetao dialect, and the answers were fluent. Inner Mongolia Hetao: "Daddy" is called "Da", and "Grandma" is called "Niangniang". When Eighty-Two said to his daughter-in-law, who was playing the daughter, "I'm not your parent!."The actor who played Grandma Li said to Yang Xiaoliu, who played Tiemei, "I'm not your own mother...... either."”
At that time, the villagers and audience under the commune's earthen stage burst into laughter, and even the commune secretary laughed. The vignette in the local dialect of the Hetao set off the most enthusiastic climax of the grand performance of the commune's revolutionary model play, especially the performance of the eighty-two couples at a very high level. Later, the commune's "** Ideological Propaganda Team" Red Revolution model drama also toured to other fraternal communes and villages. Soon, the fame of the peasant singer and his young daughter-in-law spread throughout the 800-mile Hetao Plain.
Eighty-two and his educated young daughter-in-law performed a model play of the red revolution in the commune's "** ideological propaganda team", and it was prosperous for a whole winter. When the seeds were planted in the spring of the next year, the couple returned to Hongliuqi Village. At that time, I listened to the story of the couple, and I was also fascinated, because Lianli was very busy with work and Xi study, and I had no time to go to Hongliu Qidan 82. A few months later, I was transferred to a company far away, after some time I was transferred to the XVII regiment, and soon I was transferred to the corps power plant. But my heart has always been thinking about the peasant singer Eighty-two in Hongliu Yudan Village.
I went to the countryside of Wuyuan County to interview, and by the way, I went to Hongliu Yudan to visit Eighty-two
In the 70s, the author was at the foot of Mount Ula.
In the autumn of 1983, I went to Bayannur Newspaper to study Xi social science and became a Xi reporter. After the interview, I went to Hongliu Yudan Village to visit the peasant singer Eighty-two. When I walked into the dilapidated courtyard of Eighty-two, I saw an iron lock hanging on the door of Eighty-two's house. I inquired with my neighbors and found out that the couple had gone to work in their family's sunflower field. I walked out of the village and was greeted by a golden field with sunflower blossoms blooming golden. (At that time, land in the countryside was contracted to individuals).
I returned to Hongliu Qidan Village, and I still missed this peasant singer and his educated young daughter-in-law. At this time, I met a villager who had just finished working in the field, and he said to me: "When the educated youth returned to the city, all the educated youths in the commune were **, and the eighty-two daughter-in-law of the educated youth did not return to the city, and she was reluctant to hold hands with her peasant husband who had been holding hands with her for more than ten years, and she was also reluctant to sing the "Errentai" folk song for more than ten years. "Yes, this female intellectual, like a red willow, is deeply rooted in the land of Hetao. The couple harvested golden millet and sunflower seeds on the land of this Hetao, reaped the joy of a bumper harvest, and also harvested a pair of children. On that day, Eighty-two and his young daughter-in-law came back from the field and were pleasantly surprised to see me coming. Eighty-two enthusiastically held my hand, crying excitedly, Yang Xiaoliu saw that the Baotou fellow was coming, busy steaming the cake noodles, and specially made fried cakes for me. I said to Eighty-two: "In order to implement the policy of educated youth, Inner Mongolia allows educated youths to work on state farms with their peasant spouses, and both husband and wife can be converted into regular agricultural workers and paid monthly wages. Unexpectedly, as soon as my words landed, Eighty-two laughed heartily: "I am almost in my forties, and I have no culture, so I don't want to leave the land of Hongliu Qidan."
Now I have contracted the land, work for half a day every morning, go home in the afternoon and sing the two-person stage, my daughter-in-law does not want to go to the farm, take care of the housework at home, and cook for the two dolls who go to school, and take the time to sing the "two-person stage" folk song at home, when the harvest is busy, she also goes to work in the field, and our life is not bad!"That day, the two of us drank half a bottle of Hetao Erguotou Shochu, and I proposed to write about the peasant couple singer they sang on the duo stage and let them go to the newspaper, but he said seriously: "Brother, you still don't know me, I haven't been to school for a day in eighty-two, and dog meat can't be at the banquet, I don't want to show my face, you must not write about me, let me make a fool." ”
With the strength of the wine, the bold eighty-two opened his throat and sang emotionally in the "Errentai" opera "Wang Cheng Sells Bowls":
Granny Yang came up with a pole babbling high, Huangcun sold bowls, and I walked on that one.
By the way, I took a look at that Xianglan sister, Xianglan sister, Xianglan sister, Xianglan sister, and said those few words with my heart.
There are duets between men and women in the folk songs of the two-person stage, and operas and dance dramas sung by many people).
After listening to it, I looked happy and praised it: "Brother Eighty-two sang so well!."His young daughter-in-law also smiled sweetly.....In the afternoon, because the eighty-two couple had to work in the field in the afternoon, I left the Hongliu Qidan, and when I said goodbye, the eighty-two held my hand tightly: "Brother, when can you still come to the Hongliu Qidan?"Look at my brother?At this time, I remembered that when I was in the old company more than ten years ago, I went to Hongliu Yudan for the first time to listen to Eighty-two sing to me a "Climbing Mountain Tune" in the "Errentai" folk song, and since then we have become a pair of musical friends, and I have established a deep friendship with this ordinary peasant singer. With tears in my eyes, I said, "Brother Eighty-two, my brother will come to visit you in the future. ”
My last ** wonderful performance by the farmer-singer couple
In the summer of 1993, I sent my son, who had graduated from primary school, to experience the hardships of life on a farm in Inner Mongolia, and by the way interviewed Liu Qi, a female intellectual, who stayed in Hohhot on the Hetao Farm, because she went to the countryside of Wuyuan and married a farmer, and then implemented the policy, she and her farmer husband went to work on the farm, and she worked as a primary school teacher on the farm. In my spare time, I borrowed a bicycle and went to Hongliu Qidan Village to visit the peasant singer Eighty-two.
As soon as I entered the village, I saw that most of the farmers in the village had already built new tiled houses. From a distance, I saw that Eighty-Two's home was still the same dilapidated courtyard. I went to the village shop and bought three catties of biscuits and some sweets, and asked the salesman girl with pigtails: "Why does Eighty-Two still live in the old courtyard?"I saw the saleswoman say bluntly, "Hey!."The eighty-two was born to be a person who lacked heart, his mind was not flexible, and he lacked a string, and there were several drummer teams and the "Errentai" troupe outside to invite the two of them to go out of the mountain and sing the "Errentai" folk song to the red and white events, (red is a happy event, white is a mourning event)" Each appearance fee is 100 yuan for their husband and wife, but eighty-two is to guard their own two acres of land, refusing to go out to earn money, their couple only rely on farming, enough to eat and drink every year, and the money from selling sunflower seeds is also for the two dolls to study (implement the policy, the eldest son settled in Baotou City, studied in Baotou Medical College, and the youngest daughter learned to sing Xi and sing with her father and mother since she was a child, and studied at Inner Mongolia Art School. So they don't have the money to build new tiled houses. "I listened to the saleswoman's words, but my heart was full of emotion, I don't think Eighty-Two is a person who lacks heart, but I am full of deep respect for him...
When I walked into the familiar dilapidated courtyard, I saw the eighty-two young daughter-in-law, the once young and handsome female intellectual, full of youthful dreams and revolutionary passion, now wearing faded old clothes like a peasant woman, her face was dark, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were engraved with the marks of time. Eighty-two, who was in his fifties, with gray hair and a hunched back, looked at me for a while before he recognized me, and he hugged me and cried, my heart ached, and my eyes became moist.
At noon, in the eighty-two house, there was a strong smell of sesame oil, and the couple were busy, entertaining me to eat oil cakes made of soft yellow rice noodles. (I know that the customs in the northwest, including Inner Mongolia, are that only when there are distinguished guests at home, they eat oil cakes.) Exactly ten years later, I met the peasant singer again in Hongliuqidan Village! Like the Chinese New Year, the two of us drank Hetao Erguotou Shochu. In order to welcome my arrival, Eighty-two and his young daughter-in-law both performed the "Errentai" folk song "Hanging Red Lantern" for me in the small courtyard
Male) New Year's Eve is the New Year's Day, and female) papier-mâché lanterns are hung in front of the door. The wind blew the lantern and swished, and my third brother and I celebrated the New Year.

Male) safflower is red and red, (female)) green leaves are green and bright.

The husband and wife sang in duet while twisting and jumping, no makeup, no stage, no ** accompaniment, only me as an audience! But the couple performed so calmly and naturally, so chic and happy. I was deeply intoxicated! This is the first time in my life, and the last time I have enjoyed the "Duorentai" folk song performed by the original peasant singer couple in the Great Northwest...With tears in my eyes, I applauded them with tears in my eyes...Baotou fellow, you came all the way to visit us in Hongliu Yudan, and our couple sang a two-person stage for you, and you still shed tears. "I heard Yang Xiaoliu, the eighty-two-year-old daughter-in-law of the educated youth, say a Hetao dialect, and people who don't know still think that she is a native Hetao daughter-in-law. I was reminded of the scene when I came to Hongliu Yudan Village more than 20 years ago and saw the two of them...At that time, they were full of youthful energy...
I admired the happy performance of eighty-two and his young daughter-in-law, and I had a complex and contradictory emotion in my heart, they sang the "Errentai" folk song every day, living happily and happily, and they used love and singing to reconcile their poor days. In the nineties, it was the era of the national warbler song and swallow dance, and there were many artists and singers who could go to the cave. A famous big name, the appearance fee is very high. However, the famous peasant singer Eighty-two in Hetao, in this society where money worship is rampant, would rather guard poverty than take this road of earning money by singing to get rich, and the hearts of the couple are not polluted. The couple are ordinary farmers in Inner Mongolia, and both of them are noble Chinese peasant singers.
In addition to eighty-two, the pseudonyms used by other characters in the article) were first drafted in Tianjin Shuntong Homeland on December 12, 2023. Article** "The Home of the Old Educated Youth".
