(Walking to the grassroots level in the Spring Festival) Taiwanese music couple: Where will the newlyweds go for the New Year?

Go to the mainland!

  China News Service, Fuzhou, January 31 (Reporter Lin Chunyin) In the first Spring Festival after marriage, should you go back to the man's house or the woman's house?

180 days ago, for Zhang Jiahao and Lin Jiazhen, a newlywed couple from Taiwan, it was still a sweet and troublesome multiple-choice question.

Now, without turning back, the couple have decided to go to Fuzhou, Fujian to celebrate the New Year on the mainland.

  On the 31st, New Year's Eve, the Fuzhou Taiwanese Business Association held a New Year's Eve dinner around the stove, and the Taiwan compatriots who stayed in Fuzhou for the Chinese New Year sat at several tables.

Quanxu cucumber fish means "have a head and a tail", and the fish ball soup has a colorful head and "reunion", which are all authentic Fuzhou flavors.

Zhang Jiahao took photos of each dish carefully and shared it with his wife, Lin Jiazhen, who was planning to come to Fuzhou and was quarantined in Shanghai.

The young couple had a great time, making their friends laugh and joke around.

  Zhang Jiahao and Lin Jiazhen got married because of music and got married in April last year.

Zhang Jiahao is a well-known musician in Taiwan. He is well-versed in lyrics and composition. He has won the Best Bassist Award in Taiwan at the Yamaha Band Competition and the Champion Band of the Ocean Music Festival.

Lin Jiazhen specializes in violin and teaches at the school.

  Last year, Zhang Jiahao was admitted to the music teacher teaching position of Fuzhou Yan'an Education Group.

After get off work, he forms a strait group with mainland musicians and resides in the art space.

The monthly rent subsidy of 2,000 yuan also allows him to live without pressure.

  A few days ago, Lin Jiazhen was also admitted to the Straits Symphony Orchestra of the Fujian Song and Dance Theater and will report in late February.

After entering quarantine in Shanghai, they still need to be quarantined when they transfer to Fuzhou. This New Year after marriage, the couple will not be able to get together until after the Lantern Festival.

  Three months after the marriage, Zhang Jiahao crossed the sea to "land", and it has been half a year since the couple parted.

"I settled down in Fuzhou and asked her to come over immediately." Zhang Jiahao said with a smile, the couple reunited, and both of them had a new starting point. Double happiness was coming. He specially left the window grilles and the word "囍" to wait for Jiazhen Come and post together.

  Zhang Jiahao told reporters that he had been invited to perform in Singapore, Macau and other places for many years, but only after the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic did he return to Taiwan to take a job.

The reason why I chose to go to Fuzhou to "test the water temperature" is that Fuzhou is separated from Taiwan by a sea, and it is "the place where the mainland has the most policies to benefit Taiwan".

  他掰着手指给记者列举:福建连续两年招募百名台湾教师,福州从大学到小学都为台师提供编制和教研项目扶持;演艺市场对台资公司、台籍艺人优惠开放;福州市晋安区打造“台湾社区”,为台青提供公租房……

  在福建艺术节闽台青年音乐会中,张家豪演奏一曲自己创作、讲述他心路的《住·福》。在第一乐章《寻》中,他用贝斯模拟民乐琵琶的明亮和激越,坦陈自己往大陆转轨道的期许和喜悦,又模拟古琴的低徊,记叙台湾抗疫之不易和离台的不舍。

  “我来大陆很多次,每次来都耳目一新。”张家豪说,他从上海转赴福州,“感觉一脚踏进古城的历史时空”。喜欢历史文化的他,探访三坊七巷朱紫坊、上下杭、烟台山,一一踏访林则徐、萨镇冰、沈葆桢故居。福州古厝的粉壁黛瓦马鞍墙营造的氛围,让他忍不住加入国风体现历史感,“民乐在台湾也很兴盛,大家会懂”。

  在音乐课堂上,“写繁体字的台湾老师”张家豪颇受欢迎。他教孩子们辨听二胡、锣和筝,也教孩子们说唱。他们甚至一起创作了一首新曲《最美的季节》出征合唱比赛。

  他们记录这段闽台师生情,也记录家乡美景,“孔夫子圣庙坐落在校门对面,朱紫坊的小桥流水是后花园,三坊七巷也不过就五分钟远”,“在浓浓的文化底蕴之下唱出新的感觉,就要让所有人都听见”。

  新婚后第一个团圆年,爱妻在隔离中过年,委实不容易。不过,张家豪笑说“没这么严重”,毕竟都在奔赴“有福之州”的路上,两人音乐之旅的下一站,就是“幸福”。(完)
