Shortly after dinner, villagers from all over gathered in front of the Drum Tower Theater in Yintan Village, Guping Township, Congjiang County, Guizhou Province. They moved the benches to occupy their seats and waited for the start of the Double Support Dong Opera. Listen to me, my fellow villagers. I will sing about the hardships of soldiers; Joining the army and traveling to a foreign land, often thinking of hometown and parents; Standing guard day and night at the border, the people live a healthy life... "Wu Laofu, a Dong opera performer from Guandong Village, Guandong Town, retired soldier Liang Guanghui, and villagers Liang Haiying, Yang Changyun, dressed in ethnic costumes, took turns on stage, bringing double support Dong dramas such as" Military and Civilian Family "and" Deep Love in Fish and Water ". The distinctive lyrics and vivid performance forms make the audience enjoy it with relish. Some villagers couldn't help but hum along, while others raised their phones to record exciting moments, creating a very lively atmosphere on site. Congjiang County is a revolutionary old area and also a gathering place for ethnic minorities such as Miao and Dong. It has been awarded the title of "National Model County for Double Support" for seven consecutive times. Since last year, taking the opportunity of the Dong opera tour, relevant military and civilian departments in Congjiang County have invited intangible cultural heritage inheritors such as Wu Laofu to compile rhythmic and catchy Dong opera lyrics based on the Party's policies, local stories of supporting the military and their families, and the experiences of Congjiang soldiers who have made achievements and received awards. These lyrics are accompanied by ethnic characteristic instruments such as erhu and Dong pipa, creating a themed double support Dong opera script. On the basis of inheriting and developing the intangible cultural heritage of Dong opera, telling the story of the new era's dual support can not only enrich the cultural life of villagers, but also deepen the awareness of supporting the military and benefiting families, "said Wei Shaodong, director of the County Dual Support Work Service Center. I heard that there is a Dong opera performance right at my doorstep, which is quite fresh. I just wanted to come and see it. ”Pan Yanfu, a villager from Yintan Village, usually likes to watch Dong opera and can even hum a few lines at home when he has nothing to do. After watching the tour that day, he was deeply touched. "Many young men in our village have gone to serve in the army, and the village organizes visits to military families every year. It's a great honor. Nowadays, the double support atmosphere here is becoming more and more strong." So far, the double support Dong opera tour has visited several ethnic minority villages, held 15 performances, and had an audience of more than 3700 people. (New Society)
