Save the Bachelor of Heaven

  Chapter 370 371【Blooming Life】

   Entering 1986, several major events occurred.

  One is consumer goods. Except for grain and oil, the supply of other goods is basically open, and there is no need to purchase by ticket. This has greatly improved the living standards of the people.

   Otherwise, before just making a piece of clothing, you have to plan carefully. See if there are enough cloth tickets, enough to make clothes for several people, and what kind of clothes to make, so as to save more cloth.

  At that time, even if you had money, you might not be able to buy cloth. Well now, you can buy as much cloth as you want. It is no problem to make a hundred pieces of clothing a year.

  …

  Secondly, the explosion of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant shocked the world.

  The economic loss caused by the incident was as high as 200 billion U.S. dollars, the direct death toll was as high as 93,000, and the number of cancer-caused people was as high as 240,000. It can be said to be the worst nuclear power accident in human history so far.

  The most troublesome thing is that after the explosion of the nuclear power plant, Soviet Russia received the news two days later and began to evacuate the nearby villagers. But at that time, they thought it was just a small accident.

   It was only after a week had passed and the radiation cloud had drifted to Sweden that Soviet Russia realized the seriousness of the incident. Immediately dispatch manpower to deal with it. It was not until a few months later that the fire at the nuclear power plant was all extinguished.

  After such a long time, the radiation dust produced by the explosion of the nuclear power plant has covered most of Europe. Even Britain, which was left alone, was not spared.

  It affects a wide range, affects a large number of people, and causes serious consequences, which is unique. Even the image of Soviet Russia has been severely impacted.

  …

  Third, Shengjing Explosion-proof Equipment Factory, after ten years of losses and more than two-thirds of its debts, finally declared bankruptcy after rectification and rescue.

  This incident shocked people at home and abroad. Because before this, the concept of the iron rice bowl of the working class has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Nowadays, the iron rice bowl will be smashed, which makes many people feel unbelievable.

Even the "Time" magazine in the United States was greatly surprised, and the article commented that "a phenomenon not uncommon in the West, tens of thousands of workers are warned that their companies are in trouble, and their jobs will not be kept. Now, this phenomenon is not in Detroit or Lyon or Manchester, but in Shengjing in northeast China."

  However, Xiang Nan was not surprised by this.

  He knew early on that an iron rice bowl was not safe. In another ten years, there will be a large-scale wave of layoffs. Tens of millions of people have lost their jobs. Only then did we realize the cruelty of the market economy.

  …

  Fourth, in response to the Year of World Peace, hundreds of singers from the mainland held performances at the Yanjing Workers' Stadium to show the attitude of Chinese musicians.

  Last year, the LIVEAID concert held by European and American musicians raised money for African disaster victims, which caused a great sensation all over the world.

  In the same year, singers from Baodao also gathered together, imitating the practice of American singers Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie and other singers who collectively wrote and sang "One World", and co-wrote and sang the song "True Love Warms the World".

  Influenced by these peers, musicians in the mainland also want to hold such an event to show the attitude of Chinese musicians and express China's voice to the world.

  So after some contacts, the grand performance finally started at the Workers' Stadium on May 9th.

  …

  Xiang Nan received the invitation in April. After receiving the invitation, he was obliged to accept it immediately.

   If he remembered correctly, the performance at the Workers' Stadium was extremely successful.

   It not only brings together a group of the most popular singers in the mainland, such as Wei Wei, Mao Amin, Tian Zhen, Cheng Fangyuan, Zhu Hua, Li Lingyu, Cai Guoqing, Sun Guoqing and so on.

  And on this stage, rock music was presented to the world for the first time, officially opening the era of Chinese rock music.

   Therefore, Xiang Nan will not miss such a grand music event.

  …

   In May, Xiang Nan first recorded the album "Let the World Be Filled with Love" with other singers.

  Since this event was planned by the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, the lyrics and music were written by other people. Although Xiang Nan is well-known, he did not receive this task.

  However, he didn't care. The year before last, he released "Tomorrow Will Be Better", and that song was already very good.

  So he recorded this song with everyone in a regular manner. During the recording process, he made many friends. Like Mao Amin, Tian Zhen, Li Lingyu, Cai Guoqing, Ding Wu, etc., once again expanded their network.

   For him, this is the most important thing.

  …

  May 9th, the day of the performance.

  Xiang Nan went there on his own on a motorcycle.

  He can afford a car now, but it's hard to buy a car, and it's hard to get a license plate.

  At the end of the year, Hujiang issued the first private car license in the Mainland. If he wants to buy a car, he will have to wait at least another six months.

  However, at the moment, motorcycles are already very cool.

  Most singers can only ride bicycles.

  …

  At eight o'clock, the show officially begins.

  First, a chorus of hundreds of people sang "Let the World Be Filled with Love", and then singers from all walks of life took turns to sing popular songs.

  Although music tapes from Europe, America, Hong Kong and Taiwan have flowed into the mainland since the late 1970s. For example, disco is popular in the streets and alleys, and fashionable young people with tape recorders can be seen everywhere.

  However, at the level of mainstream culture, popular songs are still not on the stage, and they are called [Decadent Music] and [****].

   And this concert is actually a popular music rectification conference.

  In the middle of the performance, Xiang Nan came onto the stage with his guitar in his arms.

   "Hi everyone, I'm Liu Feng..." He smiled and waved to the audience.

  The tens of thousands of spectators in the audience immediately became excited.

  In the past few years, Xiang Nan has been writing novels, writing songs, attending the Spring Festival Gala, and making movies. He has really accumulated a lot of fame, and he can be regarded as the top figure in the mainland entertainment industry.

   Because of this, the audience was very excited to see him on stage.

   "I bring you a new song, "Life in Bloom", I hope you will like it." Xiang Nan waited for the applause to break, and said with a smile, "Music~"

Along with the music, Xiang Nan also played the guitar, and began to sing along with the rhythm, "How many times have I fallen on the road, how many times have I broken my wings... Now I no longer feel hesitant, I want to surpass this ordinary luxury ..."

  The singers in the background went crazy when they heard the lyrics and the melody.

   "Fuck, bullshit!"

   "This dude is so talented!"

   "I'll go~ He actually knows rock and roll?!"

  The audience was even more moved. Many young people present here have not been happy in the past few years.

  The song "Life in Bloom" is simply a true portrayal of their mood, so after hearing it, everyone was extremely moved. Many people cried with tears streaming down their faces, filled with emotion.
