At 2 p.m. on January 7, 2024, the cultural auditorium of Rongxing Village, Tudian Town, Tongxiang City was full of people, and a cultural auditorium "Our Village Evening", which was different from previous years, kicked off, bringing a rural art feast to the villagers. In this village evening, which is full of strong traditional cultural charm, performers of all ages and different artistic fields gather. The villagers gathered in the cultural hall to celebrate the new year and spent a happy afternoon together.
At the beginning of the village evening, the Chinese Orchestra of Zhejiang University of Media and Communication brought a wonderful instrumental ensemble program, which set a strong cultural tone for the party. The first piece played by the students was the overture of the classic TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" in 1987, and a variety of instruments such as pipa, bamboo flute, erhu, zhongsoft, and dulcimer played a beautiful harmonic song, which seemed to be natural, tactful, and resentful, and the audience was fascinated by it. Especially the middle-aged and elderly viewers who watched the TV series back then had a strong emotional resonance, as if they had returned to that era and walked into a TV series.
An aunt told reporters: "It's really good, we used to watch this TV series, at that time our family didn't have a TV, the next door neighbor had a black and white TV, we were several families old and young together to watch, now in retrospect that the life of that era is also very beautiful." The overture of the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" is very good, we are very familiar with it, and it feels really good to see and hear the students play for us today, I have never heard such an experience. ”
The whole party was performed by professional teachers and students of Zhejiang University of Media and Communication and Rongxing Village literature and art lovers, with more than 10 programs, including folk music, dance, singing, tai chi, Yue opera, model catwalk, etc. Most of the actors in the village evening are villagers, and some of these actors are students of the literary and artistic interest classes opened by teachers and students of Zhejiang University of Media and Communication to the villagers. Some of the actors are literary and art lovers selected and cultivated by teachers and students of Zhejiang University of Media and Communication in various literary and artistic activities held in the village. This afternoon, everyone was in the cultural auditorium together, on their own stage and showing their style, which was not only a cultural and artistic activity of the village, but also a wonderful report performance. At the scene, calligraphy students from Zhejiang University of Media and Communication wrote Spring Festival couplets for the villagers in the auditorium and sent New Year blessings to each family.
In an interview, the village cadres of Rongxing Village said: "In the past year, the teachers and students of Zhejiang University of Media and Communication have made a lot of achievements, brought out a lot of teams, and discovered a lot of seedlings for the construction of our village cultural hall, which has enriched the spiritual and cultural life of the villagers, improved the cultural and artistic literacy of the villagers, and our cultural hall is truly becoming the spiritual home of the villagers." ”
It is reported that since 2023, the Propaganda Department of the Tongxiang Municipal Party Committee has cooperated with Zhejiang University of Media and Communication to carry out a pilot project for the socialized operation of cultural auditoriums, innovate the management and operation of cultural auditoriums, and improve the supply of high-quality cultural services for cultural auditoriums. Rongxing Village Cultural Auditorium is one of the pilot units, and this "Village Evening" is also an outstanding achievement of the in-depth cooperation between Rongxing Village and Zhejiang University of Media and Communication. The teachers and students of the School of Culture, Creativity and Management of Zhejiang University of Media and Communication, Tongxiang Research Institute of Zhejiang University of Media and Communication and other departments and units have not only brought an audio-visual feast to the villagers, but also demonstrated the villagers' yearning for a better life and their love for their hometown while improving the quality of spiritual and cultural life.
