Essays about listening to operas and past events

Two days ago I learned from the "Dahe News" that the Henan opera movie "Qingfeng Pavilion" starring the famous Henan opera performing artist Mr. Li Shujian is about to be released to everyone. I am very excited, happy and very happy. It's pride. Our country's drama culture has a long history, and drama films produced by combining traditional drama with modern media tools have gone through a glorious journey of more than a hundred years. Our Henan opera movies were at their peak in the 1970s and 1980s, and many excellent Henan opera plays were put on the screen, which had a profound impact. But after the 1990s, it gradually declined. Therefore, the screening of the Henan Opera movie "Qingfeng Pavilion" once again aroused people's attention and review of drama movies, and also touched my nerve of memory.

I remember when I was a child watching drama movies, I saw actors singing and dancing, but I couldn’t understand what the singing meant or what the acting was about. All I know is humming along and being laughed at by the adults. Even though I don’t understand the drama, I still sit there and watch it. I don’t know why I have such great endurance. Maybe drama and I have an inexplicable fate. The same is true for watching dramas and movies, and the same is true for listening to plays off the stage. Every year on the seventh day of the second lunar month and the thirteenth day of the fourth lunar month, our town holds a so-called material exchange meeting. Because there are several operas that play the leading roles, we commonly call it "Fenghui" or "Fengxi". In those days, there was a play on each of the four streets, east, west, south, north, and the intersection in the middle. Because our home was in the north of the town, we often chose to listen to the play on North Street. As soon as we hear the musical instruments playing, we will gather under the stage like everyone else. Sometimes the actors were too crowded to see, so my father would let me sit on his shoulders and carry me, or stand on the bicycle. What I like to watch most are the somersaults and fighting scenes. The actors are jumping up and down, howling and screaming, which makes me feel anxious and want to go up and show my hands. Whenever one or two people above were singing and crying endlessly, I would feel bored, so I would ask my father to put me down, call a few friends to play under the stage, and sometimes ask my father for a few cents. Use the money to buy a sesame seed cake to nibble on and a bag of soda to drink. But as soon as I heard the "dong dong dong" sound on the stage, I knew it was time to fight again, so I rushed to my father's side and asked him to carry me to watch the scene of fighting with knives, for fear of missing this good show. This really echoes the old saying: "Those who know how to watch watch the show, and those who don't know how to watch watch the show." Yes, we children do go to the theater to watch the fun, because we are too young to know the show at all.

Later, my family bought a TV set, which became our family’s treasure. My grandparents like to listen to operas, my parents like to watch TV series, and my sister and I are obsessed with cartoons. Grandpa has a bad temper, and even I have to respect him. I am most afraid of encountering dramas when the channel is changed. Because whenever I saw a drama, my grandfather would give a loud order: "Don't change it, just watch this one!" I regretfully and helplessly returned to my original position and sat down, anxiously and patiently looking forward to watching the movie. advertise. Because as soon as ads are added, there is a reason to change the channel, and it is not easy for grandpa to object. After all, no one is interested in ads. I don't have to worry about changing to any TV series, my parents will let me. When I switched to cartoons, I felt really sweet. My parents watched it with my sister and me. My grandma liked to talk to herself at this time, while my grandpa closed his eyes and meditated. I thought grandpa was asleep, but when it came time to add commercials, his loud voice suddenly sounded again: "Change the channel!" I had no choice but to go up and change the channel for him. Although I was a little reluctant, when I saw the gleam in my grandfather's eyes, the silly smile on his lips, and the constant gestures with his hands, I always felt a warm current in my heart. Now, my grandparents are already in their seventies or eighties. Their waists are bent, their backs are hunched, their legs and feet are not agile, and their ears are not working well. In order to make them happy, I always bring back some drama CDs when I go home and play them loudly to listen to them with them. Maybe it’s because I have a predestined relationship with drama, maybe it’s my grandfather’s genetic inheritance, maybe it’s because I’ve seen the drama a hundred times and its meaning is self-evident. Later, I gradually understood drama, especially our Henan drama, whether it is Henan Opera, Qu Opera and I can basically understand them regardless of the tone, and fall in love with them from the bottom of my heart, even though I can’t sing. Later, I went to the School of Education and studied in the Chinese Department for four years. Due to my obsession with literature, I had a deeper study and understanding of drama, one of the four major genres of literary works, and I also wrote some articles on drama. This article has deepened my love for this traditional culture and strengthened my belief in making my own contribution to inheriting and promoting it.

As young people nowadays, there are not many people who love drama. Nowadays, when it comes to drama, people tend to say that it is only for the elderly. This is very worrying. As a treasure in the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, will drama gradually drift away from us and eventually disappear from our sight? I believe that every Chinese with conscience does not want to see this day come. So, how can we cultivate people, especially young people, to be interested in drama, make them fall in love with it, and then make efforts to inherit and promote it, so that there will be successors to our opera career? I think this is what we should think about today. I think it should be the top priority for the development of opera today to be closer to real life, narrow the psychological and hobby distance between opera and young people, create more weighty and excellent drama works, and expand the social influence of drama. Let us work together to protect, inherit and promote this cultural treasure, and constantly inject new vitality into it so that it can truly enter thousands of households, especially the hearts of young people. , so that it will have successors and will last forever. In this way, the opera will be blessed, the culture will be blessed, the nation will be blessed, and the future will be blessed!
