Aunt Liu and her opera fan class

First, Liu Daniang and her opera fan class

On the morning of September 3, the sun was shining and the breeze was warm. There are many old people sitting in the open space on the south side of the west gate of People's Park. They watched the performances of the opera fans with great interest. The actors are all elderly people. You sing and I come on stage, one after another, and it's very lively. As soon as an aunt sings an excerpt from Qin Xianglian, there are two young ladies singing the Golden Flower, one as a young lady and the other as a maid. The two ladies who sang "Flower to Flower" sang another song "Flower to Flower Gun", which attracted the applause of the whole audience. ...

At this time, an 80-year-old hunchbacked old lady broke into the audience's sight. An uncle in his 60s announced the curtain call. He introduced loudly: "Here, Colonel Liu will sing" Family Fun Invited me ". Welcome! " Aunt appeared radiant with warm applause from the audience. She bowed deeply to everyone, and then began to sing with the accompaniment of the band. Just listening to her singing in an orderly and clear voice, the audience immediately heard a flood of applause. "Sing a song again! Sing another song! "

This woman named Liu Aiqin is a retired worker in a printing and dyeing factory. When she was young, she worked in the literary team of the factory trade union for more than 50 years. After retirement, she served as the director of the literature and art department of TV station. It was she who formed the opera fan class, so everyone affectionately called her the monitor. For more than 30 years, Aunt Liu spent tens of thousands of yuan on audio equipment, benches in the audience, electricity, bus fare, mineral water, ice cream, beer and raincoats for the lead singers and actors of the band. The opera fan class used to perform in the park every day, but now it has come to the park and changed to perform every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. All her belongings are usually packed in a special tricycle. She starts saving money from 360 yuan every year and puts it in the park carport. When she uses it, she pushes the car out, puts a few rows of stools and connects the audio equipment, so she can set up the stage. In the past, Aunt Liu Aiqin was very busy. A few years ago, there came an uncle Liu Youying who loved singing. Seeing that Aunt was too busy, he took the initiative to undertake some work and helped Aunt clean up the venue before and after running, which became Aunt Liu's most effective helper. When the announcer didn't come, Uncle Liu also took the initiative to act as an announcer, and sometimes he improvised a few paragraphs to help everyone.

Aunt Liu Aiqin's opera fan class is different from other opera fan classes in that it not only sings some excerpts from ancient operas, but also publicizes the good deeds of the neighborhood in time. She always tells the audience about the new policies introduced by the state at the beginning and hangs banners for publicity. For decades, she not only insisted on running opera fan classes, but also trained and funded a little girl named Nie Doudou for free. When she appeared in the column of "Liyuan Spring" of Henan Satellite TV, she was amazed by four seats and became famous at one fell swoop.

For more than ten years, Aunt Liu has run an opera fan class, asking for no help from the government and nothing in return. Someone asked her doubtfully, "What do you want to do with this opera fan class for so many years?" She said frankly: "Without the Party, I would have starved to death. Without the party, I wouldn't be as happy as I am today. I am very satisfied! " I don't run a troupe to make money, just to let as many old people have a place to entertain themselves as possible, and also to have a propaganda position to reduce the burden on the party and the government and let the old people enjoy a happy and beautiful old age! "

Two. Notes on Qingtianhe River

A city that has lived in the hustle and bustle of high-rise buildings for a long time can't help but yearn for the quiet world outside the city. I heard that Qingtianhe Reservoir has beautiful scenery and is known as the "Little Three Gorges" and "Small Guilin" in the north, so I moved my mind and went to watch it with my family on a Sunday.

Before coming here, i query learned relevant information. This Qingtianhe Scenic Area, located 37 kilometers northwest of Bo 'ai County in Jiaozuo City, has steep cliffs, secluded canyons and beautiful scenery, which is the most steep and spectacular section of Taihang Mountain spreading to Henan Province. The "mountain" of Qingtian River is compatible with the north and the south, with steep mountains and rivers in the north and gentle mountains and rivers in the south. The "water" of Qingtian River comes from the sky, where there are three steps and one spring, and five steps and one waterfall. ...

We traveled through the mountains by car, and the fresh air in the mountains floated in through the window, which was refreshing and refreshing. After the car passed through the cave, an antique archway suddenly appeared. The first part is a fairyland on earth with green mountains and green waters, the second part is a paradise for the sun in Anh Hong and China, and the second part is the Qingtian River Scenic Area. Looking at this poetic archway and couplets, everyone is full of interest and can't wait to find out.

Entering the Qingtianhe Scenic Area, I saw beautiful scenery, one bend after another, one scene after another, turning a corner, and another scenery. Our family took a group photo on the magnificent dam, and then took a boat to a deep place to enjoy the wonders. The cruise ship is driving slowly on the lake, and there is a wonderful feeling that "the ship is above the blue waves and people are swimming in the picture world". The mountains on both sides of the strait are continuous, the mountains are fantastic, and the forests and stones are varied. At every place on the ship, the tour guide pointed out in a sweet voice that these are Jade Girl Mountain, Li Hump and Lieying Rock. They are old stone men, young nuns and lazy monks, as well as the so-called "godson of three mothers", "investigation swallow of monkeys", "dream of flowers" and "full moon of golden turtles", all of which have different forms, which are natural and amazing. Beautiful myths and legends accompany the scenery, which seems to have brought me into a tortuous gallery. ...

The lake gradually became shallow, and it was no longer navigable. After the ship landed, we got off the boat and walked along the deep valley and beach. At this moment, it is drizzling in the sky, and I can't help but appreciate Wang Wei's romantic poem "No rain on the mountain road, wet clothes". Surrounded by steep cliffs, we waded, caught fish and touched shrimp, and felt happy, as if we had returned to a happy childhood. Then follow the tourists down the river and watch the strange landscapes such as Hen Peak, Stone Egg, Foertan, Hanging Coffin Stone, Qingtianhe Giant Buddha, Cliff Stone Carvings in turn, which makes people linger!

After a short rest, we crossed the mountain stream and came to a very quiet mountain clearing. The scenery here is as charming and intoxicating as a fairyland. Water, still following us everywhere, has changed its style here. The dense aquatic plants at the bottom of the water float the long green leaves to the surface of the water, swaying gently along the texture of the water, and the whole water surface is divided into latitude and longitude by green aquatic plants, just like a natural green dynamic oil painting; Water, lost its gem-like roundness here, became as thick as velvet, and blended with the green of those unknown plants on the shore, which was natural and just right. Being in such a green world, I can't tell whether it is tree green or water green, but I feel refreshed and relaxed. ...

Mountains are smart because of water; Water is beautiful because of mountains. Throughout the ages, there are many literati wandering between mountains and rivers, reciting many classic poems with feelings in the scenery, from the sudden opening of "mountains are heavy and rivers are suspicious and there is no way to go, and there is another village" to the ethereal beauty of "water is beautiful and mountains are empty and rainy". Mountains and water, like a pair of flying spirits created by nature's creators, are inseparable and set each other off, while the Qingtianhe Reservoir Scenic Area in Jiaozuo vividly interprets this kind of fun of mountain and water dependence!

I wrote down every amazing beauty along the way with my camera, and I couldn't help sighing. It turns out that water can have such a changeable temperament because of mountains, and mountains have become so gentle and affectionate because of water. This is really a pair of beautiful things created by nature! Ask, is there a natural perfection in the world? I think I have found the answer in the graceful scenery of Qingtian River!
