"Next, please welcome Comrade Yu Zhenglai, the director of the forest farm, to speak!"
Huang Ziming shouted the announcement at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing in the empty space.
After saying that, he adjusted the microphone, returned to his seat, and made room in the center.
Yu Zhenglai slowly rose from the back seat, his shadow stretching long in the sunlight.
Time has etched deep marks on his face, yet his steps are steady and resolute.
He walked step by step toward the microphone.
Yu Zhenglai stood still, his gaze sweeping over the more than 100 pairs of expectant eyes below the stage.
He took a deep breath and shouted in his slightly hoarse but powerful voice.
"Saihanba, I, Yu Zheng, am back!"
This shout was filled with his endless affection and longing for Saihanba.
"Good~"
In an instant, applause and cheers erupted from the audience.
"The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the State Council, and the Ministry of Forestry have instructed us to build a mechanized forest farm in Saihanba, a large-scale forest farm!"
Yu Zheng raised his voice, each word resounding with conviction.
"This is a great cause, a cause worth dedicating our lives to!"
His eyes shone with a burning light, a light born of anticipation for the future and a sense of duty.
"So this time I'm not leaving again!"
Yu Zhenglai's tone was resolute.
"I didn't come back alone; I came back with my wife, kids, and the whole family!"
“Our whole family has cancelled our household registration in Chengde!”
"The comrades from Weichang County said they would re-register our household registration at Saihanba Mechanical Forest Farm."
"From this day forward, whether it is production or life, whether it is fighting or sacrificing."
"I, Yu Zhenglai, will always be a Saihanba person!"
The crowd erupted in applause once again, filled with both admiration and emotion.
"Everyone, please don't say that I, Yu Zheng, have a high style."
Yu Zhenglai waved his hand again, turning his gaze to the side.
"And there's someone here with an even higher style than mine!"
"That's our deputy technical director, Comrade Li Zhong."
"He and his family members originally worked at the Ministry of Forestry."
Yu Zheng continued.
"The older children attend the best schools in Beiping (Beijing)."
"The younger children attend kindergartens directly under the Ministry of Forestry."
He sighed softly, his tone full of emotion and admiration.
"However, it is to support the construction of our Saihanba."
"He persuaded his family to transfer their household registration and grain rations to Saihanba as well."
"Comrades, let's all applaud Comrade Li Zhong..."
As soon as Yu Zhenglai finished speaking, enthusiastic applause rang out again from the audience.
I know that nobody likes to listen to this kind of boring speech.
So let's fast forward to the part where Miss 358 sings.
……
"Today is a joyous day for the establishment of our Saihanba Mechanical Forest Farm."
Yu Zhenglai's face was beaming with joy.
"There are 87 people present who came to Saihanba from 18 provinces and cities."
His gaze slowly swept over everyone in the audience.
"Of course, many more people are heading to Saihanba one after another."
"They were the first batch of employees at our forest farm."
"And these six young ladies, wearing big red flowers."
"The big guys probably already noticed."
Yu Zhenglai pointed to the six girls standing closest to the podium.
Although they were wearing forest farm work clothes, their youthful vigor was still evident.
Under the sunlight, the big red flowers on their chests looked particularly vibrant.
"They are all students from Chengde No. 3 Middle School."
Yu Zheng then continued his introduction.
"They took the initiative to write to me, asking to come to the dam and participate in the construction of the forest farm!"
He paused for a moment, his eyes full of admiration.
"I think that in our forest farm, there are more male employees than female employees."
There's an old saying that goes, "Men and women working together makes the work easier."
"Of course I agree."
"But who would have thought that the newspapers would find out about it!"
"The moment the reporter published the article, it caused a sensation throughout Chengde!"
"The people of Chengde sent the girls to the dam with gongs and drums."
"This precisely demonstrates the deep bond between the people of Chengde and our forest farm."
"Now, please welcome Comrade Zhang Manling, one of the six female representatives, to the stage to speak."
As soon as Yu Zheng finished speaking, a short-haired, spirited woman strode towards the podium.
Her steps were firm, and her eyes radiated confidence and decisiveness.
Zhao Tianshan's gaze was immediately drawn to that figure.
His eyes widened slightly, as if drawn by an invisible force.
Xia Tian stood next to Zhao Tianshan, looking at him like this, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"Alas, it seems Comrade Zhao Tianshan is no exception to the common fate and is about to be buried in the grave of love!"
I've been single for over 20 years, and I'm still single myself.
I wonder where my soulmate is right now?
While Xia Tian was lost in thought, Zhang Manling had already taken to the podium.
He walked to the microphone and faced the crowd below the stage.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and then spoke loudly.
"Hello, comrades!"
The sound was crisp and loud, echoing in the air.
"Today, we have the honor of transforming from students into forestry workers!"
Zhang Manling's face was filled with excitement.
"I am also very excited."
"I'm not very good at speaking, but I can sing."
She pursed her lips slightly, her eyes sparkling.
"So I decided to express my determination through song."
"We're on our way to Saihanba today."
Zhang Manling spoke slowly.
"My female classmates and I sang the song 'Our Workers Have Strength'."
"It was adapted; it was changed to 'Forestry workers have strength.'"
Her gaze fell upon the five sisters standing below the stage.
"We'll lead the singing, and everyone can sing along."
"Sisters, everyone come up here."
Zhang Manling beckoned the other five people to go up to the stage together.
They stood in a row, their figures graceful.
Zhang Manling, as the lead singer, asked the other singers a question.
"Shall I start, and then we'll all sing together?"
"it is good!"
The group exchanged glances and spoke in unison, their eyes filled with tacit understanding.
"Forestry workers have strength, rise up!"
Zhang Manling's voice was high-pitched and passionate, and she spoke first.
"Forestry workers have strength, hey~"
Although the singing was indeed not very good, it sounded incredibly beautiful to Zhao Tianshan.
Especially the lead singer in the middle, Comrade Zhang Manling's singing.
To Zhao Tianshan, it was like listening to celestial music, his ears instantly cleared!
His gaze was fixed on Zhang Manling, as if everything around him had ceased to exist.
The song echoed in the sky above Saihanba, drifting further and further away.
