Library of the Huai Opera "Cinder Picking"

In the spirit of "hard work, diligence and thrift to build the country", veteran worker Li Haizhou took the initiative to take on the task of picking cinders in the factory and initiated cost-saving coal's responsibility. He found a lot of incompletely burned coal in the waste residue of No. 3 furnace, and was determined to capture the "coal tiger" of No. 3 furnace. Li Haizhou's actions educated female youth worker Gao Hongmei, and she enthusiastically promoted the significance of coal conservation to new worker Zhang Xiaohu. Zhang Xiaohu looked down on this work, thinking that such a big factory still cares about this little coal residue? Li Haizhou gave Zhang Xiaohu a vivid and detailed ideological education, which raised Zhang Xiaohu's awareness and actively joined the ranks of saving coal.

Gao Hongmei: (Singing) The red clouds are shining brightly all over the sky, full of revolutionary pride. Full of love and fast pace, he crossed three streets in one go. If you want to get ahead of the master, (Supporting the situation) Oh my! The preparations were done early, but it was my fault for being late. (White) Master is still ahead of me today! (Part 2)

Li Haizhou: (Singing) Coal-saving has become a common practice in our factory. I see it in my eyes and feel happy in my heart. In my heart of joy, I feel an even heavier burden on my shoulders. The burden is so heavy that I step hard and don't relax. Find gaps in achievements and make new contributions to the revolution. (Stop the coal cart, look at the stove in the distance, and think deeply)

Gao Hongmei: (Bai) Master! master!

Li Haizhou: (white) red plum! Haha...

Gao Hongmei: (Bai) Master, please rest. (Seeing Li Haizhou still picking coal) Master!

Li Haizhou: (white) red plum! There is no limit to production and endless savings. I want to conquer the last "coal tiger".

Gao Hongmei: (Bai) Oh - Furnace No. 3?

Li Haizhou: (White) Yes, Hongmei, look at the smoke from furnace No. 3...

Gao Hongmei: (White) There is something wrong with this black smoke.

Li Haizhou: (Bai) Yeah! Look at this pile of cinders again.

Gao Hongmei: (Bai) is also from furnace No. 3? (Looking through the pages) Oops! Many of them are not fully burned.

Li Haizhou: (White) We must capture this "coal tiger" as soon as possible.

Gao Hongmei: (white) OK! Just do it.

Li Haizhou: (Bai) No! We also need to discuss with the master craftsmen of No. 3 Furnace to come up with a plan first.

Gao Hongmei: (Bai) Nuan, master, I’ll pick it up here, you go ahead.

Li Haizhou: (white) OK. Red plum, here. (Take out a new shovel)

Gao Hongmei: (Bai) Master, have you received a new shovel?

Li Haizhou: (Bai) Still made of waste materials.

Gao Hongmei: (White) (Takes the shovel, dances with the shovel) A good new shovel, give it to me?

Li Haizhou: (Bai) I made it for my new comrades.

Gao Hongmei: (White) New comrade?

Li Haizhou: (Bai) There is a young man assigned here today. When he comes, you will pick coal together first.

Gao Hongmei: (White) Aye.

Li Haizhou: (white) Oh! Hongmei, don’t forget to first...

Gao Hongmei: (Bai) First, publicize the significance of saving coal, right?

Li Haizhou: (white) Yes, yes. (Smiling)

Gao Hongmei: (Bai) My master has accepted a new apprentice. (Singing) Hold the shovel in your hand and think about it, this gift has deep meaning. Diligence and frugality lead to revolution, and I hope my comrades will accept the master's heart.

Zhang Xiaohu: (Singing) Put on your work clothes and take off your student clothes. With ideals for the motherland in mind, a red heart facing the red sun. Work hard to learn and practice your skills, and your ambition will be as strong as steel until the end of the revolution. Comrade. Where is Master Li Haizhou?

Gao Hongmei: (Bai) Who are you? ...

Zhang Xiaohu: (White) My name is Zhang Xiaohu. I was assigned from the school. I report to Master Li, the stoker.

Gao Hongmei: (White) Welcome, welcome. My name is Gao Hongmei, and I am Master Li’s apprentice.

Zhang Xiaohu: (Bai) Oh, are you also Master Li’s apprentice? Then take me to see the master quickly.

Gao Hongmei: (Bai) Xiaohu! Little tiger! The master asked you to report here.

Zhang Xiaohu: (Bai) Here? ...I will wait for the master here.

Gao Hongmei: (Bai) Xiaohu, let’s pick cinders together.

Zhang Xiaohu: (White) Picking cinders? It's not easy yet, come on!

Gao Hongmei: (singing) Pushing up the sieve, clatter, clatter, clatter, clatter. Carefully pick the cinders, pick and pick the cinders.

Zhang Xiaohu: (Singing) How useful is the little cinder? I can't pick anything out even though I'm picking it up.

Gao Hongmei: (Singing) Although kerosene is small and has great significance, you must not underestimate it. Accumulated piece by piece, it adds bricks and tiles to the building of socialism. (Bai) Xiaohu, it turns out that I also look down on this little cinder. After being taught by the master...

Zhang Xiaohu: (Bai) Hey, Xiaogao, how many years have you been with the master?

Gao Hongmei: (White) Two years.

Zhang Xiaohu: (Bai) I heard that the master is a good cook.

Gao Hongmei: (Bai) As long as it is revolutionary work, Master can do everything.

Zhang Xiaohu: (white) I think Shifu must be tall, tall and big.

Gao Hongmei: (White) He works all day long and is very strong.

Zhang Xiaohu: (Bai) His hands must be very strong?

Gao Hongmei: (White) is the hand of a double worker. When held, it is an iron fist. When raised above the head, it can support the sky. (Singing) Master, he has a strong mind when he is popular, and he has a strong sense of turning over after being bullied in the old society. Revolution and production should be pioneers, and we should have high morale to face difficulties. Seeing the increase in waste in the factory, we took the initiative to shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving coal. He checked for loopholes and took notes to save money. He discussed with the workers to close the gaps. Adhere to principles and dare to fight, and you will feel enlightened after studying Chairman Mao's works. Entering the workshop in high spirits, sweating and fighting beside the stove. For more than twenty years, we have been marching forward bravely, with the red flag flying in our chests.

Zhang Xiaohu: (Bai) My master is really amazing! Xiao Gao, tell me quickly, where is Master?

Gao Hongmei: (White) He is attacking the "Coal Tiger".

Zhang Xiaohu: (White) Fighting a tiger?

Gao Hongmei: (White) Look, this No. 3 furnace consumes a lot of coal and is a "coal tiger". The master is determined to take it down and transform it into a "saving furnace."

Zhang Xiaohu: (Bai) Then, I will also join the battle.

Gao Hongmei: (Bai) You are also participating in the battle here.

Zhang Xiaohu: (Bai) Here? Picking cinders?

Gao Hongmei: (White) Yes, we are almost done picking up the cinders. I will go and pull a cart.

Zhang Xiaohu: (white) Hey.

Gao Hongmei: (Bai) Xiaohu, the master made you a new shovel from scraps.

Zhang Xiaohu: (taking the shovel) (Bai) Did you make it for me?

Gao Hongmei: (Bai) This is the master’s intention! (Exiting the cart)

Zhang Xiaohu: (Bai) Master’s thoughts? (Singing) Holding the shovel in hand, I wonder, why did the master give it as a gift? I thought I was just picking cinders here temporarily, but it looks like I will be squatting here for a long time. What university questions are there in the cinders? It is also worth spending energy specifically for it! (White) Hey! Xiaohu, Xiaohu, where did you think you were? The master must have thought that I was young and weak, so he first asked me to pick up cinders here temporarily and exercise. right!

Zhang Xiaohu: (Bai) Master, slow down! (Pour away the cinders from the sieve tray and run down)

Zhang Xiaohu: (Bai) Pulling the car and running away, you are so energetic doing this job!

Li Haizhou: (Bai) Xiaohu, you are very energetic.

Zhang Xiaohu: (Bai) Hey, how do you know my name?

Li Haizhou: (Bai) Haha, (pointing to the hanging satchel) Isn’t your bag embroidered? "Revolution to the end. Zhang Xiaohu".

Zhang Xiaohu: (white) This is my determination.

Li Haizhou: (Bai) Let’s learn from you young people!

Zhang Xiaohu: (Bai) Master, take a break, give me the car, and let me pull a few cars.

Li Haizhou: (Bai) Hey, Xiaohu, don’t do it too hard all at once.

Zhang Xiaohu: (Bai) Master, I have a lot of strength, but I am worried that it will be of no use.

Li Haizhou: (Bai) Are you afraid that your energy will be useless when it comes to revolution?

Zhang Xiaohu: (Bai) Just do this job...

Li Haizhou: (Bai) It doesn’t take much effort, does it?

Zhang Xiaohu: (Bai) Hey, it took a long time to pick up such a small amount.

Li Haizhou: (Bai) You picked it up very quickly. Did you pick everything clean?

Zhang Xiaohu: (White) It’s clean.

Li Haizhou: (Bai) There is more in here!

Zhang Xiaohu: (White) Oh, even if there is, it’s just a little bit.

Li Haizhou: (White) We have to pick it out bit by bit.

Zhang Xiaohu: (White) You have to pick out every little bit. This is no longer gold mining in the sand. How useful can this little bit be?

Li Haizhou: (Bai) Don’t underestimate this little bit. Without these little bits and pieces, how can there be millions? Without bricks and tiles, how can a tall building be generous?

Zhang Xiaohu: (White) Such a big factory still cares about this little thing?

Li Haizhou: (White) The bigger our family is and the bigger our business is, the more we have to start saving from this small place.

Zhang Xiaohu: (white) - Don’t let go of anything, I think it’s a bit stingy. (Throwing away a small piece of coal)

Li Haizhou: (picking up the piece of coal thrown away by Zhang Xiaohu) (White) Stingy? (Singing) Xiaohu’s work is thought-provoking. It seems that he has not yet understood the significance of saving coal. When planting trees, we need to plant the seedlings straight, and it is my responsibility to lead the new workers. (White) Xiaohu, I think this is a treasure! Have you ever picked up coal in the past?

Zhang Xiaohu: (Bai) I haven’t picked it yet. I was just assigned to learn how to be a stoker. My master went to renovate the furnace and temporarily asked me to pick cinders here.

Li Haizhou: (Bai) Temporary? Picking kerosene is a temporary job, but the idea of ??diligence and frugality cannot be temporary. Once it is "temporary", the coal will slip from your hands. Little tiger. There is a lot of knowledge in picking up cinders. Come on, (pick up a piece of cinders), look at this piece!

Zhang Xiaohu: (White) This piece is burned out, what do you want it for?

Li Haizhou: (White) This side is burned out. (Turn over) Look at this side again. Isn’t this black coal? (Picks up another piece) Look at this piece again.

Zhang Xiaohu: (Looking through) (White) Both sides are burned.

Li Haizhou: (White) There is still coal in it.

Zhang Xiaohu: (Bai) How do you know?

Li Haizhou: (Bai) As soon as I weighed the portion, I knew it wasn’t fully cooked yet. Look! (Break the cinders apart)

Zhang Xiaohu: (Bai) Just like this... (laughing) Master, you are very knowledgeable about cinders!

Li Haizhou: (Bai) I have been dealing with it for a long time.

Zhang Xiaohu: (childishly) (white) Oh, you specialize in picking cinders?

Li Haizhou: (White) More than thirty years ago, I started picking cinders.

Zhang Xiaohu: (Bai) More than thirty years ago...

Li Haizhou: (Bai) Xiaohu, what were you doing when you were twelve or thirteen years old?

Zhang Xiaohu: (White) wears a red scarf and goes to school every day.

Li Haizhou: (Bai) Yes! Only with Chairman Mao can we have the happy life we ??have today. But when I was twelve or thirteen years old... (singing) My parents were driven to death by jackals, leaving me without anyone to care for me. All the time is passed by picking cinders. Sweat and tears flowed down under the scorching sun. For nine days, a straw rope tied up my ragged clothes. He went through wind and rain, received many whips and scolds for picking cinders, but in the end he could only get a liter of chaff. Who's going to ask if you're sleeping on the street? The life of a coal picker is difficult. A spring thunder shook the sky, and the coal picker became the master. The old society forced me to pick coal to survive, but today I have endless fun picking coal for the revolution. Make the decision without forgetting the roots, and let those little sparks burn the mountains and rivers red.

Gao Hongmei: (Bai) Master!

Zhang Xiaohu: (Bai) Hey, Xiao Gao! (Calling Gao Hongmei aside) Is he your master?

Gao Hongmei: (Bai) Ah, you don’t know yet? He is our master.

Zhang Xiaohu: (Bai) This... (runs forward) Master!

Li Haizhou: (Bai) Little tiger! From now on, we will learn from each other and fight together.

Zhang Xiaohu: (Bai) Xiaogao, there is so much knowledge in picking cinders.

Gao Hongmei: (White) Knowledge?

Zhang Xiaohu: (Run to the cinders, pick up a piece of cinders, learn to weigh it, and then break it apart) (White) Here.

Gao Hongmei: (Bai) The division is low, the factory revolutionary committee has agreed to the plan to conquer the No. 3 furnace...

Zhang Xiaohu: (Bai) Agree?

Gao Hongmei: (Bai) wants us to take action immediately.

Zhang Xiaohu: (white) Okay! Go hunt tigers! (Throwing away the cinders in his hands)

Zhang Xiaohu, Gao Hongmei: (White) Master.

Li Haizhou: (White) The cinders haven’t been picked out yet.

Gao Hongmei: (Bai) Oh, we have to rework!

Zhang Xiaohu: (White) Rework, (look at furnace No. 3) What about the furnace?

Gao Hongmei: (White) If you don’t pick it up, you can’t put it on the stove.

Zhang Xiaohu: (Unconvinced) (White) You can’t put it on the stove, (turning to Li Haizhou) Master.

Li Haizhou: (White) I think it should be reworked.

Zhang Xiaohu: (stunned) (white) Listen to the master, then rework.

Li Haizhou: (White) Slow, unclear thinking, will have to rework in the future.

Zhang Xiaohu: (Frankly) (Bai) I can’t figure it out! (Singing) A small piece of coal is neither gold nor silver. How many kilograms can be extracted by reworking it?

Gao Hongmei: (Singing) To save coal, you have to fight for weight. This coal is originally industrial grain and black gold.

Zhang Xiaohu: (Singing) The furnace renovation plan has been approved, why are you so busy here?

Li Haizhou: (Singing) It is important to seize coal from the tiger's mouth, and we must also understand the principle of saving coal under the sieve tray.

Zhang Xiaohu: (Singing) Just a little bit of it.

Gao Hongmei: (White) I see a little bit, just to fight against your little bit - (Singing) Wasteful thoughts!

Li Haizhou: (Singing) Arguing over rework arouses conflict, and the argument reflects ideological struggle. (Turns to Gao Hongmei) Only by explaining clearly the meaning of picking cinders can we improve our understanding of right and wrong. (Sit next to Zhang Xiaohu, cordially) Xiaohu, you do a little bit of this, a little bit of that, I think you have a little bit in your mind...

Zhang Xiaohu: (waste) Thought? I... (grievedly)

Li Haizhou: (white) Xiaohu, when we engage in coal-saving work, we must think big and start small.

Gao Hongmei: (White) If you can’t pick out the small cinders, you can’t change the big stove.

Zhang Xiaohu: (White) What is the relationship between picking cinders and modifying the stove?

Gao Hongmei: (Bai) Why doesn’t it matter? Look, the smoke from furnace No. 3... (Zhang Xiaohu looks ahead in confusion) Look again... (referring to the cinder pile) This pile of cinders, the master discovered the third batch of cinders from the black smoke and the unburned cinders. No. furnace problem.

Zhang Xiaohu: (stands up thinking) (white) Oh! master.

Li Haizhou: (White) Picking up small pieces of cinders by hand, thinking about being diligent and thrifty, paying attention to every little thing, only then can you see the big from the small.

Zhang Xiaohu: (White) Seeing the big from the small... Well, that's true.

Li Haizhou: (White) Whether we are picking up cinders or modifying the stove, we must first establish the idea of ??diligence and frugality. Xiaohu, from today on, you are a worker. We, the working class, only have the responsibility to save the country’s wealth. , but there is no right to waste national wealth! Today you despise every bit and throw it away casually. Tomorrow when you put it on the stove, you may waste tons and tons of raw coal...Wash the national wealth arbitrarily. That is the bad style of the bourgeois manipulator. Two kinds of thinking must be distinguished. , can we improve the consciousness of implementing Chairman Mao's revolutionary line.

Zhang Xiaohu: (white) Consciousness...

Li Haizhou: (white) Xiaohu, red plum, hard work and thrift cannot be thrown away, once lost they must be transformed into cultivation!

Li Haizhou: (Singing) This lump of coal is neither gold nor silver. It can burn fire to refine real gold. (Taking the coal from Zhang Xiaohu’s hand) The light is shining and shining, reflecting the lofty spirit of the working class. Xiaohu, don’t underestimate this little bit, there is a profound truth in every little bit.

Li Haizhou: (Singing) Saving a little bit today is to carry forward the revolutionary spirit of hard business struggle; saving a little bit today is to implement the great policy of building a country through diligence and thrift. Think big and have a clear direction, and start small things seriously. The four words "revolution to the end" must be started from scratch and completed in a down-to-earth manner.

Zhang Xiaohu: (Bai) Master, I understand! You go change the stove, and I'll rework this pile of cinders!

Li Haizhou: (Bai) No, let’s do it together!

Li Haizhou, Gao Hongmei, Zhang Xiaohu: (Singing) Pushing up the sieve, clatter, clatter, clatter. Carefully pick the cinders, pick and pick the cinders.

Zhang Xiaohu: (Singing) Although the cinder is small, it means a lot, but you must not underestimate it.

Li Haizhou, Gao Hongmei, Zhang Xiaohu: (Singing) Diligence and thrift lead the revolution, and fine traditions shine brightly.
