Director Liu, accompanied by the leaders of the Prison Bureau, passed the first checkpoint of the auditorium and saw many people surrounding the armed police. Director Liu asked the prison bureau chief: "What's going on?"
"I heard from Xiao Xie that the family of a female prisoner requested to see the criminal, but the criminal wanted to participate in a performance, so there was a little dispute here," the director replied.
¡°Since this is the case, it¡¯s better to let these family members go in and watch the performance, so as not to have a negative impact here.¡± Director Liu said.
"Okay. Then as a representative of the prisoner's family, I will call Xiao Xie and ask her to make specific arrangements." The director said as he took out his mobile phone to talk to Xie Yaqi.
Xie Yaqi¡¯s car was not far behind Director Liu¡¯s car. After receiving the instructions, park the car next to the checkpoint.
Liu Daqiang saw that it was Director Xie who stepped out of the car, and he was as happy as if he had seen a savior. He knew that going in to visit Lu Qiao would definitely be a success, so he hurriedly walked towards Xie Yaqi: "Hello, Director Xie! Are you here to handle the dispute personally?"
Xie Yaqi smiled: "Call Lu Qiao's family members, get in the car and follow me. Don't let those two old people cry."
When Liu Daqiang heard this, he waved his hand towards Zhang Junyi. Zhang Junyi understood immediately, supported the two crying old people, and got into the car. Following Xie Yaqi's car into the checkpoint.
"Ah, I've been busy for a long time, but it's easy to come in and see Lu Qiao!" Liu Daqiang was so happy that he sat side by side in the back of the car with Xie Yaqi.
And Lu Qiao stayed in the "tent" built under the command of the warden himself, still with tears on his face. Deputy Warden Gao Xiaodan was offering kind words. She knew very well that at this time, she must not provoke Lu Qiao, who was responsible for the performance, otherwise the show in the women's prison would probably be ruined.
"Lu Qiao, you should be a sensible person and cannot be distracted at this time!" Gao Xiaodan said to Lu Qiao in a very gentle tone.
"I can't figure it out. Why can't family members be invited to watch such an important performance? Besides, my elderly family members are so far away and are so old. What if they get sick?" Lu Qiao was upset and handed other female prisoners to her. Pushing the makeup box, he said to the senior supervisor emotionally.
Song Bin was standing outside the "tent", answering the phone. It was Xie Yaqi who called. After closing the phone cover, he quickly called Gao Xiaodan in the "tent": "Notify Lu Qiao that her family members have come in and arranged to sit in the guest seats, so she can quickly touch up her makeup!"
After saying that, Song Bin thought to himself, maybe it was those "family members" who were not family members again. He couldn't help but smile to himself and walked into the auditorium. He wanted to see which "husband" was coming.
Director Liu had no idea that the representatives of the prisoner¡¯s family members he brought in with just one sentence were actually Lu Qiao¡¯s ¡°family members.¡± As a leader, no matter how familiar you are with Lu Qiao, you may not be familiar with Lu Qiao's family members. This is someone¡¯s private life, haha, it has nothing to do with Director Liu.
Xie Yaqi knew that Lu Qiao had been divorced a long time ago, but she didn't know whether Lu Qiao got married later. Xie Yaqi thought that it should be normal for Lu Qiao to get divorced and remarry. It would be abnormal if he did not remarry after the divorce. From her perspective, the purpose of divorce is to pursue a happier ending. Otherwise, why divorce at all.
When Song Bin met these "family members" of Lu Qiao, he knew clearly that none of them were Lu Qiao's "family members", but he had to introduce them to Director Liu and Xie Yaqi:
"Director Liu, these are Lu Qiao's family members. This is Lu Qiao's husband, Mr. Zhang, and this is Lu Qiao's younger brother. These two old people are Lu Qiao's father-in-law and mother-in-law!"
Director Liu was very happy: "I didn't expect that the one who was making noise on the way was Lu Qiao's relatives! Nice to meet you, nice to meet you." Director Liu shook hands with Zhang Junyi and others one by one: "Lu Qiao is an old subordinate of mine. Nice to meet you." you."
Because there were no seats set up for the prisoners¡¯ family representatives in advance, these four ¡°family members¡± who were not family members actually sat in a row with Director Liu and other leaders, in the middle and near the front, and they were very happy.
But the old man and the old lady were extremely dissatisfied with Zhang Junyi, Lu Qiao's "husband". But it¡¯s not easy to ask in front of so many people. We can only wait until we see Lu Qiao before questioning him carefully.
Everything is ready. Performances in prisons usually start without checking the time. They won¡¯t stop for a meal halfway through, and then enter the venue to perform again. So this special performance was busy until the afternoon.
When the host of the Bureau of Prisons announced the start of the cultural performance to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were many young and old on the agenda. For example, leadership speeches, commending outstanding police workers, commending provincial reform activists, etc., etc. Until the last item on the agenda was Director Liu¡¯s speech, the whole auditorium cheered and the criminals all slapped their hands red. They were lucky enough to see the entire province¡¯s judicial system.The head of the system was happier than meeting his biological parents. Because they know that the quality of the transformation depends on Director Liu formulating policy details, and the way home depends on Director Liu's guidance.
Director Liu¡¯s passionate speech won waves of applause. In the end, Director Liu did not forget to add a sentence: "We gathered together to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and also invited some family members of prisoners to come and watch the performance. Their arrival added a brilliance to our performance and fully reflected the The importance and necessity of creating a harmonious society.¡±
Zhang Junyi and Liu Daqiang also clapped very hard, and Liu Daqiang did not forget to stand up and pay tribute to Director Liu. Shen Fei's parents were so excited that tears filled their eyes. They felt that they had never been so honored in their lives.
The judges are serious and meticulous in showing their fairness and impartiality. Especially the professional judges invited from outside had the opportunity to participate in such a special performance for the first time, and the performers were all criminals, and it involved more than ten or twenty prisons, that is, they faced more than ten or twenty people. The wardens all stared closely, so the judges tried their best and were meticulous. The score cards they showed were basically not too different, so that the wardens could find some balance in their minds.
Lu Qiao and the others are about to appear. Several wardens and deputy wardens of the women's prison stood outside the "tent". Only the education section chief kept passing messages to them from the auditorium, informing other brothers about the prison's performance level and scoring status. Gao Xiaodan received a call from the education section chief and wrote down the ratings of the programs that had been performed on the stage in a small notebook.
Lu Qiao has already put on her makeup and is giving her final explanation to the female prisoners who are performing on the same stage. It is better to say it is an explanation than a warning: "Listen up, you all: Go on stage and unfold your bodies to the greatest extent, so that the audience in the audience can feel that the five-star red flags are flowing and the fire is burning. You guys The movements are not complicated, as long as you do one thing, when it is time to rise and fall, make the rise and fall as much as possible, because you are all the same height, as long as you do it in place, it is the most standard. Finally, let me tell you, give me a smile with emotion Smile, smile charmingly, smile passionately!¡±
The female prisoners nodded vigorously. Why don't they want to show off their style through this dance that is not too complicated or difficult and get bonus points from the prison!
"One more point: the stage in this auditorium is definitely bigger than the one in our prison. Although we don't have a stage, it doesn't matter. As long as your dance steps are standardized and your arms are spread out in place, it's OK!" At this point, Lu Qiao stretched out his arms. hands, "Come on, fellow criminals, let's work hard for the motherland!"
With more than a dozen hands clasped together, their mental state reached its highest point. The female police officers standing on one side were laughing secretly: Lu Qiao, who was crying just now, is actually a commander now!
When the host announced: "The next program, the song and dance "My Motherland and Me", will be performed by the women's prison," the 30 female prisoners in the audience burst into warm applause! They shouted: "Salute to the motherland! Salute to the people! Salute to the government!"
When the piano was moved onto the stage and fixed, but before the curtain opened, Song Bin led Gao Xiaodan and several other deputy wardens to sit in a row behind Director Liu. They are all waiting for their convict Lu Qiao to perform miracles in the women's prison.
Zhang Junyi turned around, shook hands with Song Bin, and said, "Thank you for providing us with such a good opportunity!"
Song Bin smiled and whispered: "Who said you are a family member!"
Zhang Junyi also responded quietly: "There is no way, family members are family members, this is a privilege!"
The two people looked at each other and smiled.
The curtain opens. Just a piano stunned the people in the audience. At least it overwhelms other prison performances in terms of momentum. Immediately after Lu Qiao came on stage, the audience was silent. She walked to the stage and bowed to the audience, then turned around and drew an arc in the air with one hand like a dance. A string of notes hit the keys like flowing water, bringing up the fill-in music. Five-star red flags flowed from the side of the station.
There was thunderous applause from the audience. This appearance was so creative that it made the judges on the judges' bench whisper to each other.
Lu Qiao played and sang at the same time, with her arms and body showing soft lines. The female prisoners in the dance group undulated their bodies to the waltz tune, showing off their grace and passion.
Lu Qiao sang:
"I sing to every mountain, I sing to every river
A rut on the road in a small village filled with smoke
Shen Fei¡¯s parents were filled with tears of joy. The old couple looked around, wanting to tell everyone: "It's my daughter-in-law, it's my daughter-in-law who is performing in the show!"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Dan Dan quietly asked Song Bin: "Supervisor Song, how are you doing?"
Song Bin smiled: "What do you think?"
"It has to be us!" Gao Xiaodan said proudly.
Lu Qiao played the second passage, and the dancers¡¯ formation changes were particularly in place, and everyone was in high spirits. When Lu Qiao played the melody with a single note, her singing actually changed the note and became a two-part song. This level of difficulty is incomprehensible to outsiders. At best, they only know it sounds good. The judges were very professional and knew the trick as soon as they heard it, and were even surprised.
Several judges are already writing down impression scores. Just listen to Lu Qiao singing:
¡°My motherland and I are like the sea and waves
The waves are the pure sea of ??the sea, and the sea is the support of the waves.
Whenever the sea smiles, I am the whirlpool of laughter
I share the sorrow of the sea and the joy of the sea
"Always give me blue waves and clear waves - the song in my heart."
The entire stage is a sea of ??red flags, a fiery heart, and a true portrayal of being inseparable from the motherland! Creativity and artistic conception have told people about this theme. And that theme is exactly what the prison system has to get at: a political theme. And the true reflectors of this political theme turned out to be a group of guilty people!
When Lu Qiao finished the last note, the audience stood up with thunderous applause! Liu Daqiang shouted: "Brother Qiao, that's great! That's great!"
Dozens of pairs of police officers¡¯ eyes were looking towards Liu Daqiang! Zhang Junyi pulled the corner of Liu Daqiang's clothes with all his strength, and finally Liu Daqiang, who had forgotten everything, woke up.
Song Bin¡¯s prediction when watching the rehearsal was confirmed: Lu Qiao could not get off the stage amid bursts of applause. After the host asked Lu Qiao for his opinion, Lu Qiao agreed to play another selected piece of "Butterfly Lovers", but only gave Lu Qiao 5 minutes to perform.
5 minutes is enough. Lu Qiao not only brought the enjoyment of beautiful music to all the criminals in the audience, but also brought spiritual repair like rain.
