On November 25, the amateur literary and art propaganda team of Wild Cat Water Village rehearsed a program in the newly built square.
"The continuous blasts were heard all over the sky, and all the villagers were smiling..." The female team members held the continuous blasts in their hands and danced to the music. When a team of two members threw a combo to each other, one team member threw a combo, but the other team member caught it unsteadily and almost fell to the ground. There was a blush on both of their faces. After the dance, the two hid aside to practice and explained with shame: "It's just the hands that hold the hoe handle that are not flexible."
This publicity team has only been established for two months. During this Mid-Autumn Festival, the village called on villagers to sign up to form an amateur literary and artistic propaganda team. Mou Bingjin, who was over sixty years old and had participated in the propaganda team, became the captain, and 22 people signed up to become team members. In the publicity team, the oldest is over 60 years old and the youngest is 25 years old. After the team was established, the village approached the state Bureau of Culture and Sports to help set up speakers, accompaniment instruments, and purchase 46 sets of performance costumes.
Not long ago, Lichuan City staged programs throughout the city, and "Wild Cat Water Village Changed" written and performed by the team members won the third prize.
“Before I was 20 years old, I also worked as a publicity captain. But at that time, performing was not as enthusiastic as it is now.” Mou Bingjin said that the team members were very energetic and spontaneously gathered together to rehearse at 3 p.m. every day. . From arranging music and lyrics to arranging programs, the publicity team writes and performs everything around them. The lyrics for the program "Wild Cat Water Village Changed" were written by Mou Bingxue, the leader of the creative team, who stayed up all night. Although the heroine doesn't know a word, she can sing well and memorize all the lyrics and dialogues by heart.
