One or two days after the front of the time.Early in the morning, the fog was very thick.The location is Yu, by the river. figure Lu Qianqiu Lu Yimei Joe's wife Qiao Renshan Qiao Lixiang Qiao Shen Li Yan boatman [Opening: Yangtze Riverside, the pier is in sight.There are mountains on the opposite side.Boats and boats in the river come and go, and the sails move and sing. Boatman (you don’t need to be on stage, the sails are moving on stage, and the boatman sings in the background) Hey, hey, hey, hey, rock the boat, rock the boat, go forward, go forward. From morning to night, from summer to cold, every day, every year, every day, every day, the river is our way,

The boat is our home, A cool wind blows our sails. Hey, hey, hey, hey, onward, onward, rock the boat, rock the boat. With the current and against the current, big and small beaches, west, east, north, south. hot sweat dripping in the river, The goods are sent to the riverside, The bright moon rises in the east and lowers our sails. Lu Yimei (holds the small cloth bag, walks for a few steps, stops) Dad, hurry up! Lu Qianqiu (with many paintings under his left arm and a bamboo stick in his right hand, coming slowly) Don't be busy, don't be busy, I'm leaving Chongqing soon, let me see more of these mountains!

Lu Yimei will be in trouble if she misses the boat, Dad! Lu Qianqiu is this the only boat in the river?If you miss this one, wait for the second one!What are you busy with? Father Lu Yimei, you are so ridiculous!This is a mission ship, and there is only one for a certain number of days.Besides, our luggage has already been moved up!Come, give me the painting! I can handle Lu Qianqiu!My work, I hold it myself! (takes a few steps, stops again) Lu Yimei, why don't you leave again! Lu Qianqiu take a look!take a look!Look, how interesting that mountain is, as if thinking about something in the fog!

Lu Yimei, let's go east, the road is full of water and mountains, enough for you to see, let's go! Lu Qianqiu has a beauty in one place, this one can't replace that one, that one can't replace this one! Lu Yimei, I see, Dad, you are a bit reluctant to leave Chongqing! Good boy Lu Qianqiu, I taught you to guess again, I am a bit reluctant to part with Chongqing!Mountains and water have certain characters.Once we are used to living together, the character of Shanshui seems to be mixed with ours, and people and Shanshui become friends who are inseparable!I hate these friends! (sitting on a rock)

Lu Yimei has come to the front, Dad, not only can you see new mountains and new waters, but you can also meet a large group of new friends. They are all heroes of the War of Resistance.Draw them down, and draw a picture ten feet long, with mountains and waters, some people, horses, cannons and fire, how good it is! Lu Qianqiu is right! (jumps up) That's right!I!Draw the history of the War of Resistance!Walk!Walk!Walk!Yimei, you will have new friends and a new job, right? Lu Yimei is right!I'm no longer mad at old Joe!I am happy, I really want to sing a song! Lu Qianqiu go!Sing away! (stopped again)

Lu Yimei, why are you standing still again? Lu Qianqiu wait a moment!I picked up a few cute little clams to use as color dishes! Oh Yimei!You are a ten-ten-ten old boy! So, Lu Qianqiu, Yimei, when she gets married, she will marry an artist, he will always be a child all his life! If Lu Yimei wants to marry, she won't marry an artist! What about Lu Qianqiu? Lu Yimei because he has been a child all his life! Lu Qianqiu hahaha!well said!well said! Lu Yimei, let's go! Lu Qianqiu go!Good girl, put these little clams in your pocket, don't throw them away! (in bag) Qiao's wife (walking slowly from the river, very tired) Yimei!To beauty!

Lu Yimei (turning around) Aunt! Brother and sister Lu Qianqiu! Aunt Lu Yimei, why are you here? Lu Qianqiu is beautiful, help her to this stone first!Brothers and sisters, sit down first! Wife Qiao (sitting) Me, come out to find Renshan! What happened to Lu Qianqiu Renshan? Wife Qiao is as cruel as you! Aunt Lu Yimei, what do you think I can do?I really miss you, you are like my mother!But I can't be a slave all my life, and my little talent is not just for making money for Uncle Joe!I can't help but go!Only by stepping out, can I be of some use to society, and to my father!Don't you think so?

Mrs. Joe, I understand!I see!However, Renshan is leaving too!He is my own son, and the only root of the Qiao family.How can I teach him to walk?It was just dawn today, and when I opened my eyes, he was gone.I know that if he wants to leave, he must come to the two piers here.I didn't comb my hair or wash my face, so I came to look for him, but I couldn't find him!Did he throw himself into the river? Brother and sister Lu Qianqiu!Ren Shan is not such a confused child with no ambition, he will never throw himself into the river!It is possible for him to leave home and do something, Ren Shan is not heartless!

Qiao's wife is gone, so why am I still alive? Brother and sister Lu Qianqiu, you can't say that.Now, as a young man with a heart, he has to do something for the country! Qiao's wife and my eldest child have died in battle! The death of Lu Qianqiu's family is better than the death of the country!Besides, how can such a good boy like him value the life in your family?Can he not want to go? Wife Qiao (stands up) Stop talking!say no more!You dare to be kind, and happily follow your daughter away!You don't think about me!If Ren Shan really leaves, I, the bitter old woman, will be the only one left in the family.What to do with a crazy widow and a shameful daughter?

Aunt Lu Yimei, slowly persuading Uncle Qiao!Aren't Hong Kong affairs and family affairs all lessons?He's not stupid! Qiao wife Yimei, if you want to go, go, don't tell me ready-made words!You know that old man's temper, he will listen to my advice?I have no other choice, if Renshan Zhenyi goes and does not look back, I will jump into the river! [The ship whistles. Lu Yimei's boat is about to sail, Dad! Mrs. Qiao, let's go!Do not bother me!Anyone can go, this river will always be waiting for me! Lu Qianqiu Yimei, you go alone!I have to take her home!Brother and sister, I will send you back!

How could Lu Yimei do it?Aunt, it is really not easy for me and my father to leave here, can you teach us to go back and suffer? Brother Qiao's wife, take Yimei and go!Yimei, here you are, (takes off a pair of earrings) These are gold!Take it, and be filial to your father!For the rest of my life, I will not be blessed to see you as my daughter-in-law, just please don't forget me! Aunt Lu Yimei, after the Anti-Japanese War, I will definitely come back and live with you!I am a child without a mother!I'll take this pair of earrings and return them to you in the future! Qiao's wife still thinks so long-term, who knows when she will live! Brother and sister Lu Qianqiu, you can't think like that!Yimei can go out and do something, and I can go to the front to see and draw some pictures of the War of Resistance, all of which should be liked! Hello wife Qiao, brother, I like it, you guys go! Aunt Lu Yimei! (tears away) Brother and sister Lu Qianqiu!One more word!Ren Shan wants to go, teach him to go!Think about it, if you don't teach him to walk, and he tortures to death at home, are you worthy of your son, or the country?Brothers and sisters, tell me! Wife Qiao, let's go, brother, you are a lucky person! Goodbye Lu Qianqiu, brother and sister! (Down) Wife Qiao (the whistle blew again, she took a step forward, waved her hand, and sat down slumped) Qiao Lixiang (coming up in a hurry) Second brother, hurry up!Dad is coming! (sees mother) Mom! Qiao Renshan (on) who?mom! Joe's wife is me!I went to the pier over there, but I didn't find you!Do you have to go, child?do you really want to go Mother Qiao Renshan, think about it for me, what should I do? Joe's wife... Mom Qiao Renshan, I'm not a cruel person!When I came back from Hong Kong, I originally wanted to put my family in order first, and then go to do my best for the country.First, I want to convince my father to open his eyes and look at the big picture, not to focus on his own interests.But my words are like some raindrops falling into the sea, and they have no effect.When Hong Kong was bombed a few days ago and Tao Yun ran away, I thought it must be my good chance, but my father seemed to be more confused, as if possessed by a devil, and regarded me as an enemy!I can no longer follow the same path, and can no longer drop dew on stones in vain.I can't wait any longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to improve my family, but also delay the opportunity to serve the country!I have to go now!I went outside, first to fulfill the obligations that every young man should do, and second, to atone for my father's sins against the country and society!Mom, do you understand me?forgive me? Mrs. Qiao, I don't understand!I don't know what "forgiveness" is!I love you!You must go, go! Mom Qiao Renshan!At this time, every mother has to let go of her children! Joe, let's go!go!Just as I let go of your brother, I also let go of you!go! Brother Qiao Lixiang, what should I do? Sister Qiao Renshan, painful experience will turn bad into good, this is true for a person, and so is a nation! Qiao Lixiang How can I live? Qiao Renshan lived to alleviate his father's crimes, and to repay his mother's love! Qiao's wife Lixiang, as much as mother loves your brother, she also loves you, you are also born to me! Sister Qiao Renshan, as long as you know that your father is wrong and that your mother loves you, you, mother, sister-in-law, will still have great power to persuade your father to understand!Women, in the rear, will at least teach men to be more sober and repentant, pretending that they are not paying attention to being men's playthings!Lixiang, you have been a plaything, you have encouraged your father to do evil, and you have also destroyed yourself!You are the one who destroys you, and you are the one who transforms you!OK, I should go!Sister, help mom back home! Qiao wife Renshan, when will I see you again? Mom Qiao Renshan, don't cry!do not Cry!I'm leaving, it's a dignified thing, something you should like!Keep your tears, Mom, and let them fall on Dad's heart! Mrs. Qiao, I will take you a few steps and take you to the pier! No need for Qiao Renshan, Mom!You go back quickly! Wife Qiao, take good care of yourself, child! Brother Qiao Lixiang... Mom Qiao Renshan!younger sister!goodbye! (sprint) [When the red sun breaks through the fog. Joe's Wife (Standing Stupidly) Qiao Lixiang's mother, the sun is dazzling, I can't see, let's go back! Mrs. Qiao, I can't even move a step!Sit down for a while! (Larry sits facing the river) The boatman (singing behind the scenes) The river is our field, The boat is our home. Steer the rudder and go down the water, the waves roll to the Three Gorges, The green hills on both sides of the strait are full of flowers, and the clouds surround the peaks, Fog flows up the river, Tighten your slack and sail against the current, sweating and coming to Chungju, The lights are like stars on the top of the mountain. Qiao Shen (Hurry up, look around) Li Yan (following closely) Dad, you can't, you can't stop him, he is avenging us! (blocks him) Qiao Shen dodges!I kick you into the river! Qiao Lixiang (turning her head) Dad! (Stand up) Qiao Shen, what are you doing here? Qiao's wife (still facing the river and sitting blankly, silent) Qiao Lixiang, my mother and I sent my second brother here. Sister Li Yan!younger sister!Tell me, is he gone?Is he really gone? Qiao Lixiang (nodding) Qiao Shen didn't have my order, how dare you let him go?Have you eaten too much and become confused? Sister Li Yan, let's go!Follow me to the pier!I took this handkerchief as a small flag, bit my finger and wrote "Go to revenge" in blood and waved it to my second brother!I want to shout, shout hoarse voice! "Look! Behold our hero, the hero who goes to avenge!" Sister, come with me! Qiao Shen, stop talking nonsense, crazy girls! Sister-in-law Qiao Lixiang, there is no need to go, the boat has probably already left! Li Yan, I have to go too!I went to look at the back of that boat, look at the black smoke it left behind, look at the white waves behind it! (runs to the pier) Qiao Shenlixiang, is he really gone? Qiao Lixiang is really gone! Why didn't Qiao Shen hold him back? Qiao Lixiang, if I can leave, I will too! Qiao Shen, what did you say? Qiao Lixiang, I will go too! Qiao Shen, say it again! Qiao Lixiang, I will go too! Qiao Shen (slaps her on the mouth) You go! Qiao's wife (turning her face quickly) What are you doing? Qiao Shen, I will beat you all to death! Qiao's wife Lixiang, you go home first! Qiao Lixiang, I'm not leaving!I'm waiting to be killed! Qiao Shen hum! Mrs. Joe, good boy!you go first! Qiao Lixiang, why should I give birth to a girl alone?If it was a man, I would stomp my feet and walk away too! (Down) Qiao's wife, Qiao Shen, sit down!Facing the river, the mountains, and the sun, let me ask you, when we were not rich, were we happier or less happy than we are now? Qiao Shen, I don't have time to talk nonsense! (but sat down) Since Mrs. Qiao has money, you can become the overlord of the family. Why is your wife crazy?Didn't you force her?Why did Taoyun run away?Is it not because you yourself brought the rogue into the house?How did Lixiang learn to be bad?Isn't it because you don't allow me to discipline?Why did Ren Shan leave? Didn't you force him?For a few dollars, you offended your childhood friend!For a few dollars, you forced such a good girl, Yimei, into a corner!Money is like maggots, the more you have, the faster your meat will rot!You have money, but you lose your son, spoil your sons and daughters, and offend your friends. Isn’t this more powerful than the law of the country?Think about it, think about it carefully! Qiao Shen (thinking for a while) Ren Shan is really gone! Mrs. Qiao, our son is gone! Qiao Shen, what did he say I came from? Joe's wife said, to atone for you! Qiao Shen's redemption? Mrs. Qiao, you get rich, and he goes to war!When he came back from victory, he lived with his chest puffed out; when he died, your money did not stain "his" blood! Qiao Shen, I will get him back, I only have such a son left! Wife Qiao and my tears can't change his mind, and your money is even more useless!When he was leaving, I was not allowed to cry, he said, I have to keep the tears dripping on your heart!Renshan's father, the daughter-in-law is crazy, the daughter is broken, and I am your wife, you should listen to me, right? Qiao Shen is just the two of us left? Wife Qiao, look, who else is your relative in such a big place?Let's go home!Write a letter to Ren Shan, tell him that we don't make money anymore, teach him to work with peace of mind, write to Yimei, we don't make money anymore, welcome her and Big Brother Lu back!What do you think? Qiao Shen go!go home!Mom, I'm holding you by the arm! Mrs. Qiao, wait for your daughter-in-law! (looks away) Here she comes!Look how fast she goes!She will be fine!Don't scold her again, she is a good boy!daughter in law!come!I am here waiting for you! Li Yan (running over) Mom, the boat left early, but I saw nothing but a pair of white birds flying on the river!I think, Deshan Renshan brothers are a pair of white birds, fly out, fly out! Joe's wife and children!Are you going home with mom? Li Yan, I'm not going home!I want to sit here and pray to Renshan day and night: stay healthy and kill more Japanese devils!After a long time, I saw him come back victorious, so I knelt by the river to meet him, took a handful of clear water from the river to wash away the dust from his feet, made a wreath of wild flowers and put it on his head !Then, I dragged him around the whole city, and when I reached the door of the house, I had to set off 100,000 firecrackers before allowing him to enter the house! (applause) How wonderful!how nice!Mom, you go back!Teach Dad to hold you by the arm!I am here waiting for my second brother to come back in victory! Qiao Shen's daughter-in-law, go, come home with us! Mrs. Qiao, your father said, let's live a good life in the future and stop doing business! Li Yan, you go first!I have to wait for him here!Otherwise, if you teach him to know, he will get angry and say: "Look, my sister-in-law always taught me to take revenge; when I came out, my sister-in-law forgot about me and didn't care about me at all!" Wouldn't that be bad? Mrs. Qiao, then, shall I go first?You will be back in a while! Hello Li Yan, let's go!Dad, hold Mom well! Qiao Shen! (Exit with the help of the old wife) Li Yan (sitting down, staring blankly at Jiang) Boatman (chorus behind the scenes) Fight, rock the boat, rock the boat, fight. Help each other and move forward together. Bleeding in the front and sweat in the back. Rock the boat, fight, fight, rock the boat. What are you talking about? What danger! Steady the helm, The sails are hoisted, One heart and one mind, blood and sweat, crossed the shoal, The flowers are bright and the willows are dark, Full of mighty Hirakawa! Fight, rock the boat, rock the boat, fight, brothers, move forward together! (screen)
