Chapter 93 new year thanks

In the joyous atmosphere of the New Year, we cannot fail to thank those who have worked so hard to prepare and add joy to this wonderful festival.I especially think of the flower farmers who decorate the city and supply the flowers and trees for the celebrations, and the performers who performed for the working people who are on vacation, because in the past year, the labor enthusiasm of the Beijing flower growers and actors I visited And drive, gave me an unforgettable impression. Fengtai has a history of hundreds of years of growing flowers. Since the Yuan Dynasty established the capital in Beijing, Fengtai has flower farmers who serve to beautify the palace mansion.Over the past hundred years, most of Beijing's hand styles have come from Fengtai.Passengers passing through Fengtai always buy some beautiful and fragrant bouquets as the most expensive gifts for relatives and friends.During the Anti-Puppet Period, there were almost no people buying flowers, and the price of flowers fell to be lower than the price of food!After liberation, flowers and trees were reborn, and the flower industry gradually recovered.In 1954, there were more than 200 flower farmers working alone, and there were only about 20 flower managers in small agricultural cooperatives.After the cooperative transformation in 1956, the number increased to more than 80 people.In the autumn of 1958, the People's Commune was established, and more than 500 flower-growing laborers gathered together in a grand manner, and the excellent techniques and rare varieties were made public.They are also divided into three flower teams and two nursery teams according to local conditions. These five teams cover an area of ​​more than 1,700 mu, and have raised more than 300 kinds of flowers, 500,000 potted flowers, and countless saplings.

When I visited the flower team, I once prune mountain tiger seeds with the old farmers of the flower production team in Fanjia Village.Shanhuzi is a woody plant with small orange-red fruits.At the end of autumn and early winter, cut the dry branches into short round balls, and plant them one by one in the flower hole next to each other.After two or three months, it will grow round and solid, with red fruits and green leaves, and then it will be taken out and planted in pots, and sent to the market.When the old man Zhang was trimming, he looked at the flower branches on the left and right, and said with a smile: "This thing is just a thing, it is red and beautiful. In the New Year, it will be placed with light yellow wintersweet and snow-white narcissus. It’s only interesting if it’s fragrant and red!”

Shanhuzi is just a kind of pruning that I participate in.When I see pots of bright poinsettias and verdant ferns on the stage of the Great Hall of the People, as well as countless colorful flowers and reds in public places and on people’s desks, I always think of how many male and female team members in those frosty nights, In the misty cold fog, under the cold moonlight, I hurriedly carried the basin, came to the door, and built the mat... The clear and faint laughter still lingers in my ears.Today, the city of Beijing is full of the fruits of your labor. People who grow flowers, you should also have a good rest and play for a day in a happy mood!

But my young actor friends are unwilling to rest.For the happiness of thousands of viewers, they made their debut today even more energetically, contributing harder dramas and better programs.I think of their rehearsal field, their careful teachers, and their lovely themselves.Not only did I think of China and the Beijing Opera School, but I also thought of the classes of the Hebei Bangzi Opera Troupe in Beijing.This is a new force in the drama team.Although I missed the chance to watch them perform in the audience, I visited their study class and met head Li Guiyun.She told me a lot about Hebei Bangzi's cold and bitter past, and she sincerely thanked the party for cultivating this popular drama, and she was proud of these hard-working students from the countryside.Under Li Tuanzhang's personal taping, I heard Li Xiufen and little Liu Yuling singing a cappella. For the first time, I felt that the tone of Hebei Bangzi was really high-pitched and passionate.I also saw Wang Shuhui moving the "upside-down stirrup" steadily and slowly up and down.The requirements for the students in this class are strict, and I can see it from the performances they sing and do.

In the past two years, among our 650 million people, the flower farmers and young actors in Beijing I mentioned are only a very small part of our people. There are countless flower growers and young actors in the country. Literary and art workers, there are thousands of people in different positions.We are all sailors doing different jobs on a big ship.With Chairman Mao as the helmsman, this big ship has passed through many twists and turns of dangerous reefs and shoals, and is advancing steadily towards the boundless ocean of happiness.The east wind starts from the end of the day when the red sun is rising, and it blows harder and harder. The dazzling red flag is flying on our ship, against the vast expanse of green waves, how solemn and beautiful it is!During our ten-thousand-mile voyage, although there were constantly oncoming waves, they were all split into two ruined walls by our tall and sharp bow, and then scattered into splashing waves, falling to the water surface into a soundless sound. Foam...hang it up!Bunches of flowers on the mast!Sing, song on deck!Our big ship riding the wind and waves has sailed into the glorious 1960s like flying.

We thank you co-workers who hang flowers and sing songs, and we must sing praises to our helmsman together!
