Heroines: Opening Dialogue with Wu Zetian

Chapter 27 That Voice Comrade!
Su Qingyue waved again, and the scene changed rapidly.

This is a simple country stage. Liu Xikui dressed up and stood on the stage raising his arms and shouting.

"Compatriots! Now China is being invaded by the Japanese army! We must unite as one to defend against foreign enemies!"

"Now that our compatriots are suffering from floods, how can I sit idly by! I haven't read any books, and I learned the truth from dramas, but I know that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world!"

"Compatriots! I am performing here today. I hope everyone can donate money and materials to our compatriots to help them tide over the difficulties!"

……

"Wow, I'm so touched! I didn't expect Boss Liu to be such a patriotic opera actor!"

"Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and sees the hearts of the people over time! When the country is in peril, she picks up the play that she hasn't sung for many years to perform for charity. She is indeed a real heroine!"

"I'm so pissed! Liu Xikui has been harassed by warlords all the time, and even cheated into marriage! I'm so pissed off!"

"Compared to other opera actresses who marry warlord leaders or gang bosses, Liu Xikui is indeed a clear stream!"

……

A history forum.

"These hateful Japanese soldiers! It's really hateful to bully our Chinese people!"

"Don't forget the national humiliation! We are self-improvement!"

"That's right! Don't forget the national humiliation! We are self-improvement."

"In the era when the mountains and rivers were broken and the country was in turmoil, Liu Xikui was able to advocate patriotism and national salvation by himself, which deserves the admiration of every Chinese people!"

"For the country, let us work together! Comrades!"

……

Su Qingyue waved again, and two men in Chinese tunic suits came to an alley again and knocked on the door.

A woman with gray hair opened the door.

"Comrade Liu Xikui! How are you!"

"Hello."

"Comrade Liu Xikui, now that our country has been liberated, you are a famous opera artist, so you should also participate in cultural construction."

"I'm an opera singer, so low-level..."

"Hey! Comrade Liu Xikui, that's the old society's way of saying that it's a low class! Now it's a new society. You are opera performers and you are equal to everyone!"

"Actors of opera... are equal..."

When Liu Xikui heard this, she was a little surprised. She, an actress who was bullied in the Republic of China, could really have a new life in the new society!

"Comrade Liu Xikui! Everyone will be comrades from now on! You also call us comrades!"

"Good! Thank you, comrades!"

"Comrade Liu Xikui! The Ministry of Culture will hold a reception tomorrow, and I hope you can attend on time. This is an invitation!"

"Don't worry! Don't worry!"

Liu Xikui took the invitation and carefully stuck it in his arms.

"Liberated! Equality! Equality!"

Liu Xikui muttered to herself, the grievances from the past came to her heart all of a sudden, she laughed and shed tears at the same time.

……

"I'm so touched! This actor's acting skills are amazing!"

"The old society turned people into ghosts, and the new society turned ghosts into people!"

"Huaxia opera has been developed for so many years, and only now are these opera actors being respected! They have such a high status!"

"I'm so happy for her, she's finally no longer that bullied actor, but an opera artist!"

……

A pear garden forum.

"Everyone, I found Liu Xikui's photo! Everyone, take a look, it looks too similar!"

"666, this restoration speed is too strong!"

"This is not very normal, it's just a special actor."

"Of course I know special actors, but this is just an ordinary cultural program. Where did they hire these actors from?"

"This show is awesome!"

……

Shen's Media.

"Mr. Shen, a large number of opera singing videos have emerged on the short video platform just now, and the quality is quite good."

"Very good, you go to make a planning plan, and make a Chinese opera promotion program on our short video platform!"

"Ok."

……

Conference room of Jinghai TV station.

"Director! Although the ratings of this show are not as good as the previous episodes, it still ranks in the top three."

"Very well, Xiqu is actually very unpopular, let alone such an unknown actress, I am already very satisfied with this kind of ratings."

……

In a nursing home.

A large group of elderly people sat together, watching the program on TV, feeling very excited.

"When I was young, I was also a fancier, and I loved to go to Liyuan every day. Unfortunately, opera is no longer popular now, and it has all become pop songs."

"Who says it's not? Young people nowadays cover their noses whenever they hear a play, saying that it's an antique, something that old men and women listen to. What do you call this!"

"Old, old."

……

Huaxia Opera Academy.

"It turned out to be Professor Liu Xikui! She used to be a teacher in our school!"

"Ahhh, so excited! I didn't expect to see Teacher Liu Xikui!!"

……

Su Qingyue waved again, the scene had come to a reception, a middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic came to her side holding a wine glass.

"Comrade Liu Xikui! We meet again?"

"Meet again?"

"When I was 16 years old, I heard your play, it should be "New Camellia". I was still in middle school at that time."

"That's it!"

"Yes, at that time I was deeply moved by your spirit of saving the country and loving the people. I never thought I would see you again after liberation!"

Liu Xikui wiped away tears and said, "It's hard to say, it's hard to say."

"Comrade Liu Xikui! I know you don't sing opera anymore, but our Chinese opera shouldn't just be buried like this. You should leave your skills to future generations."

"Leave it to future generations..."

"Comrade Liu Xikui! Now you are officially hired as a professor of Huaxia Opera Academy! I hope you will be enthusiastic about teaching!"

"thanks, thanks!"

Holding the letter of appointment, Liu Xikui shed tears again.

"Unexpectedly, a person like me who came from the old society can become a professor!"

"Hey! Comrade Liu Xikui! Don't underestimate yourself, no one is more professional than you in the opera industry! Hahaha..."

……

"Wow, I'm so happy! Comrade Liu Xikui! That's a comrade!"

"Where did you find this special actor? This is also great, it seems to be acting!"

"Salute to the revolutionary fighters!"

"pay tribute!"

"Strive for the rise of China!"

……

Huaxia Opera Academy.

"I'm so touched! Our opera actors finally got rid of the unbearable fate!"

"Unfortunately, if Teacher Liu Xikui sees the decline of Chinese opera, she will definitely be disappointed."

"Who says it's not? Chinese opera is no longer popular now, and it's completely inferior to those popular songs."

"If you want me to say, our opera should also be bold and innovative, and follow the development of the times!"

"You're right, opera does need an innovation, just like cross talk, no one watched it before, but now it's popular!"

"That's right! That's right!"
