Prologue: Elegy at the Graveside
Spring has come, and the peach buds have bloomed and floated to the willow branches. Tao Ranting bid farewell to the dead silence of winter and returned to lush greenery. Qingming Festival has arrived. In this spring suburb of green grass and green water, there are white-haired old men and beautiful young people, who come in twos and threes to pay homage to their ancestors at the tomb, or come to the pavilion to bathe in the spring sunshine.
(The background screen is hung in the front area of ??the stage)
It is almost dusk. In the corner of the red wall of Taoranting, under the maple trees and cypresses beside the reeds, there is a The rectangular tomb made of white stone has a cone-shaped four-cornered stone monument in the center. (Revealed at the back of the stage after the curtain rises.) The monument is engraved with:
?I am a sword, I am a spark,
?I wish to be born as bright as lightning,
?I wish to die as swiftly as a comet.
These are the few words Gao Junyu wrote about his photo when he was alive. After his death, I published it on his monument. Jun Yu, I am unable to save your life, which is as fast as a comet. I can only shed the remaining tears on your grave until I can no longer come to see you.
Wandering along the avenue. The world around me is so calm and beautiful. This is a picture that cannot be painted, this is a poem that cannot be written. Pingmei took out a slightly faded red leaf from a book she carried with her, placed the book on the stone pillar in front of the tomb, held the red leaf with one hand, stroked the tombstone with the other, and called the person's name in a low voice: Jun Yu, Your plum comes to see you again. Winter has just passed. Are you still cold down there? Have you ever been lonely? I dance a light song to express my sorrow, and sing a sad song to share with you. Looking at the red leaf in my hand, the writing is still there, the person has passed away, I can't help but feel speechless and choked again. Ping Mei has shed too many tears here: (voiceover monologue) "If my tears really condensed into pearls, by now I would have woven a scarf around your neck for you. If my lovesickness I have turned into red beans one by one, and now I have accumulated unforgettable love for you." The lonely silhouette dances with the poetic monologue. Finally she stopped, standing like a plaster figure in front of this lonely grave in the wilderness. Thousands of past events leap before our eyes. She prayed, "It's just an illusory dream, let me see your heroic soul again." In a trance, her thoughts were flying, and she seemed to have returned to those sad and exciting years...
Scene 1: The dark and distant stage is divided into two parts: Gao Junyu and Shi Pingmei live on both sides. We are all fallen people at the end of the world, and we all have our own sorrows and sorrows. What appeared before their eyes were the unforgettable and painful experiences of the two of them: fleeting glimpses, both real and illusory.
The red flag was finally planted in the enemy's position. The cheers of the comrades resounded in the sky. Jun Yu looked at all this with a tired and relieved smile, and the phantom of Pingmei's concern appeared in front of him. He stretched out his arm to the void, spit out a mouthful of blood, and passed out...
Fifth Five Scene: The Fall of the Comet Leaves a Grudge
In the cold ward, accompanied by Pingmei, Jun Yu made his final struggle with death on the hospital bed. The bright red plums in the purple jade vase on the table contrast with Jun Yu's dying flame of life. Pingmei felt filled with regret and pain, and hugged Jun Yu tightly, her hospital clothes wet with tears. She doesn't want her lover to leave with regrets. "Jun Yu, forgive me. If you only accept my heart, now I will dedicate my heart to you with both hands. I hope it will be nourished by your blood and irrigated by your tears forever!" Jun Yu struggled to get up, but unexpectedly rejected Pingmei. "Don't worry, I forgive you. I will understand you even until I die. If I don't forgive, I won't love you so lingeringly. But Pingmei, the gift of a heart cannot be bought by illness and death. I I'm not willing to exchange illness and death for your heart that you don't want to give. I don't want your compassion and sympathy now. I just want you to know that I respect you the most in the world. I once loved you who deserved my respect!" This brave declaration shocked Pingmei.
When the visiting time came, the nurse came to urge Pingmei to leave. Unable to suppress her inner grief, she took out her treasured red leaves and handed them to Jun Yu. "This is the mark of our hearts. Let it stay with you. I will come to see you tomorrow." After saying that, he left with tears.
Darkness fell, and Jun Yu, holding the red leaf tightly, appeared in his dream. He returned to Taoranting under the bright moonlight, and there was a small boat tied to the lake under the willow forest. There was no one on the boat. The evening wind blew the sparkling water and the boat was swaying alone. Everything is silent and the scenery is profound. He is a tourist hesitating in this willow forest, not knowing where to go.
He walked to the tree where the boat was tied and was about to get on the boat when he suddenly heard a voice calling him in the forest. It was the voice of Ping Mei. Following the sound, the willow forest became cold and bleak. Deep in the darkness, there seemed to be a group of demons ready to move. Finally found it, it was Pingmei who was bound by the demonized willow tree. At this moment, Jun Yu pounced like a beast, and the red leaves turned into blazing swords. He cut off the willow branches and saved Pingmei. The two looked at each other, hugging each other tightly, and there was no barrier between them. More and more tree shadows appear around, and above them are people trapped in this cold forest, including deer, students appraising plum blossoms, old people, women, and workers in ragged clothes. The two of them stepped forward together, rescued one, two... and then worked with the rescued people to rescue the others. The misty morning light reflected on the horizon, Jun Yu helped Pingmei get on the boat and sailed into the distance. The lake gradually became wider and boundless. The distant horizon is covered with golden haze, and a fleeting mirage slowly emerges. That seems to be the ancient capital a hundred years from now! The Forbidden City is still majestic, with high-rise buildings everywhere, everything is updated, and the busy sea of ??people is full of happy smiling faces, the old are provided for, and the young are educated. This is the ideal light in their hearts!
Suddenly darkness fell again, the wind was strong and the waves were rough, and the boat capsized. No matter how tight they held their hands, they could not withstand the power of nature. Returning to reality, Jun Yu lay down on the bed, one hand reaching into the distance, and the other hand clasping the bloody red leaves in front of his chest. In his wide-open eyes, there was yearning for a bright future, as well as the infinite melancholy of unfinished business and unfinished love... The arm stretched out into the distance finally dropped, and Jun Yu passed away alone in the darkness before dawn.
Scene 6: The memorial at the graveside goes with you
When I woke up from the memories, it was already late autumn. Pingmei, dressed in black, sat alone in front of Jun Yu's tomb, holding a red leaf in her hand, her tears drying up and her heart buried. However, Jun Yu's original intention and legacy need to be inherited, and Jun Yu's ideal grand plan still needs to be realized. Amidst the red leaves flying all over the sky, Pingmei talked to the tombstone about the various struggles she and her partners had participated in in the past few years. Behind her, scenes from the past reappeared one by one: During the March 18th massacre, Pingmei and her school teachers and students took to the streets to demonstrate and petition to protect the country's territorial sovereignty, but they were shot and killed by Duan Qirui's government troops. Teachers and students fell down and died in large numbers.
Xiaolu was also beaten to serious injuries during the struggle; after the April 12th Incident, Pingmei watched helplessly as Mr. D was arrested for the cause of the party. He was unyielding and went to the execution ground generously... Under the heavy persecution of the dark forces, the revolutionaries Although he paid a huge sacrifice, Pingmei did not flinch. Amid the white terror, he still resorted to writing criticisms of the reactionaries and spoke loudly for the people and the cause of women's liberation: "Even if the universe turns into a battlefield of embers, and the wild smoke is still smelly." , Jun Yu, I will never kneel at the feet of the tyrant and obey his orders, I will heat up the fire of my angry heart and burn this dark and ugly net of hell!" (Voice-over) Her cry turned into spicy and passionate words, It is printed on every red leaf flying in the sky; the tip of her pen, like a dragon, seems to have turned into the sword in Jun Yu's hand, blazing and bright, shining in all directions...
As autumn passes and winter comes, evaluate plum blossoms It seems that I will sit on the stone bench in front of the tombstone forever. It was dark, and the snow was falling heavily, but it still could not cover the earth stained red with blood. Pingmei, who had expressed all her thoughts, seemed to have exhausted the fire in her heart. She turned around and staggered away into the dark snowy night...
Epilogue: Chong Biyi, and Yunzhu
Amidst the sad elegy, friends and students raised their heads Pingmei's coffin walked towards Jun Yu's grave on the white snow. "We couldn't rely on each other during our lifetime, but we wish to be buried together in the barren hills after our death." Everyone helped Pingmei realize her last wish! A long song is a time to cry, expressing endless reluctance and endless separation. The students cried and danced the dance taught to them by the teacher. Xiaolu hugged Pingmei's coffin and was in agony. Everyone placed bunches of plum blossoms on Pingmei's coffin and buried her and Jun Yu together.
Everyone left one by one, even the deer was reluctant to leave, turning back three times at a step. The lonely figure of Ping Mei appeared, as if she had returned to her school days. The cold world is extremely lonely, and the dark time and space seems to have returned to its original point. She was searching silently. Jun Yu's figure dressed in white gradually appeared behind him. He pulled Pingmei into his warm embrace, and the two souls finally became one and never separated again. Thousands of words of thoughts are poured out at this moment. The deep love like the sea is confirmed at this time. Mr. D is here, and all the comrades who have sacrificed their lives in the struggle over the years are here! Let’s all join in the chorus of heaven and earth, the dance floor of the universe. The snow was falling heavier and heavier, gradually obscuring the view. Jun Yu and Ping Mei embrace each other, the sword and the cold plum, with everyone's blessings, move firmly towards the red sky and towards the light...
The end of the play!
