  In the Gobi desert training ground, war songs full of gunpowder smoke aroused the passion of missile trumpeters; beside the positions in the deep mountains and forests, one by one self-composed and performed folk dance programs brought laughter and relieved the physical and mental fatigue of officers and soldiers...

  Since last year, the Rocket Army's field art creation and performances have closely followed the main tone of listening to the party's command and striving to strengthen the army, focusing on the practice of swordsmanship and strengthening the fiery practice, giving full play to the main role of officers and soldiers, and creating a number of literary and artistic programs that are full of the flavor of the times and highlight the characteristics of the military. The officers and soldiers are loyal to maintain the core and are determined to strive to strengthen the army.

With the continuous and in-depth development of field literature and art performances, literary and artistic works engraved with the brand of the strategic military services were sent to the grass-roots front line, vividly demonstrating the high-spirited style of officers and soldiers who are really prepared, trained and fought, and boosted the morale of the soldiers, which was widely praised by the troops.

The field art creation and performance has also become an important cultural brand for the Rocket Army to create a sword culture and boost grass-roots construction.

  The agitation of drums and surging waves sounded, and on the screen, a boat with a lantern was moving forward in the stormy sea... In the auditorium of the Rocket Army Engineering University, the sitcom "Red Youth Forever To the Party" was staged vigorously, telling the story of the contemporary military academy The touching story of the students drawing strength from the party's struggle and going from the classroom to the front-line troops with a high-spirited attitude.

The rich history and the progressive reality intersected on the stage. The show won warm applause from the audience and also infiltrated the hearts of young students.

  The leader of the Propaganda Bureau of the Political Work Department of the Rocket Army introduced that in the series of cultural activities celebrating the centenary of the founding of the party last year, the backbone of the army's literature and art focused on promoting the spiritual pedigree of the Chinese Communists with the great spirit of party building as the source, and launched a series of Acura Party, Acura Motherland, Acura People, The excellent works of Acura Heroes vividly demonstrated the extraordinary achievements and glorious history of the Strategic Missile Forces under the leadership of the Party with inspiring literary and artistic programs.

  An excellent literary and artistic work is a vivid party history education class.

In the dance "Faith" choreographed by a certain base, Acura's revolutionary soldiers sacrificed their lives for the new China's family and country feelings, and spread a glorious historical picture of the People's Army on the stage.

In order to make the work more educational and appealing, the directors Wang Jiaxin and Chen Tianlin searched for information in various ways and carefully created and arranged, so that the program restores historical facts and is full of military flavor.

Once the show was performed, it resonated strongly with officers and soldiers.

Chen Tianlin said: "We strive to enable officers and soldiers of every age level to find the cognitive points and emotional points of the century-old party history from the program, so that officers and soldiers can be educated in a subtle way."

  "You were close to my chest and never made a sound, but the past you carried reminds me of my faith..." A song "Party Member Badge on My Chest" sang the glory and responsibility of a Communist Party member, and it sang the audience's blood agitated.

Many officers and soldiers said that "they were moved by this song" and "the heart was touched".

  Literary and artistic works are vivid carriers for telling the story of the party's history well.

The song "Faith in the Light", the dance "The Rocket Army Will Always Be Loyal to the Party", the poem recitation "A Hundred Years of Wind and Rain, Forging Forward"... The field art creation and performance always adhere to the direction of the creation and performance of the Acura era and the party's praise, and spread the party's works one by one The voice of Acura and the great achievements of the party inspire officers and soldiers not to forget their original aspirations, keep their mission in mind, and take root in the missile barracks to make great achievements.

  Recently, in a certain brigade of the Rocket Army, a song was sung among the officers and soldiers: "When we are waiting for the battle, we accumulate strength in the sacred battle position. When the sword is unsheathed, we pull the ballistic trajectory to create glory..." Song "March of the Beacon Fire" sings the glory of the combat support troops escorting the missiles with its powerful melody and uplifting lyrics.

"Enthusiastic and powerful, the more you listen, the more powerful!" This is the evaluation of the officers and soldiers of the brigade.

  Literature and art have endless power.

The loud and clear battle song is filled with the fighting spirit and the blood of the soldiers who are indomitable and dare to conquer the war.

Speaking of the creation process, Ding Xiaowei, the lyricist and deputy political commissar of a certain brigade, said with emotion that he was deeply moved and inspired by witnessing the unique "sweet love" of soldiers in different positions.

He said: "In the era of the Revolutionary War, one after another exciting battle songs, battle poems that inspire fighting spirit, and inspiring battle dramas have become the spiritual food that inspires officers and soldiers to fight the enemy heroically. Literature and art must always walk on the road of serving the strong army, the grassroots, and the officers and soldiers.”

  Selecting the venue, pulling the banner, moving the equipment, adjusting the sound, testing the circuit... After the literary and artistic service team of a certain base arrived at the field training site, a temporary "stage" was quickly built.

The music sounded, and neatly dressed officers and soldiers rushed onto the stage.

The dance "Flame" is based on the ardent and progressive war drums as the background sound, which fully demonstrates the masculinity of the soldiers of the Rocket Army in the new era, stimulates the high fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers, and pushes the performance atmosphere to a climax.

  Walk for the war, sing for the war.

Since last year, each unit of the Rocket Army has insisted on highlighting the characteristics of field warfare and strengthening the awareness of serving the soldiers in the process of creating and performing.

They organized the creation of short, shrewd, flexible, and military-style literary and artistic works, made efforts to connect the activities with the battlefield, focused on the war, and actively created a grass-roots cultural life that was integrated with the army's combat training.

  Zheng drum urges blood, and has a strong mind.

Literary and artistic works highlighting the fact that the troops are training elite soldiers and seeking to win the hot scene are like a horn of a charge, stirring the enthusiasm of thousands of rocket officers and soldiers.

The song "Saving Your Hand" is catchy, and enthusiastically sings the spirit of the rocket army's bravery and fighting spirit; the dance "Engineer Speed" sincerely praises the bloody courage of the missile engineers in the face of major tasks; the song and dance "Night Practice" focuses on the actual combat of the troops The training scene vividly shows the fiery life of training and fighting... The training ground in the north and south is a scene of vigorous training; the field literature and art works in full bloom stimulate the enthusiasm of officers and soldiers to train and prepare for war.

  "The original intention is not changed, and I will repay the motherland with my youth..." Li Xiongzhe, the backbone of literature and art at a certain base, created the allegro program "Lian Lian Started" on the way to serve the soldiers.

The program is based on the construction and development process of a grass-roots company, reflecting the transformation of the Rocket Army in a new era and a new look.

The content of the program is novel and full of creativity, which is close to the grassroots and reflects the situation of the soldiers, which is widely praised by officers and soldiers.

  The soil is underfoot, and the heart is full of true feelings.

No matter how deep the roots are at the grassroots level and how true the relationship between officers and soldiers is, the vitality of literary and artistic works will be strong, and the popularity of the works will be high.

During the creation and performance activities, the members of the Rocket Army's Sword and Art Light Cavalry went to the plateau to the Gobi, and drilled into the deep mountains to enter positions. In the middle, cheering for the grassroots, cheering for the preparations, through the military exercises, the soldiers talking about the soldiers, and the soldiers singing the soldiers, the image of the rocket army with flesh and blood is deduced, which has a strong resonance among the officers and soldiers of the army.

Since last year, the Lianjian Literary and Art Hussars have performed 310 condolences on the front line, serving more than 80,000 officers and soldiers.

  All the way to serve, all the way to true feelings; all the way to landscape, all the way to create.

The sketch "Room Rounds" is based on a true story, and praises the revolutionary feelings of a certain unit's officers and soldiers for their selfless dedication and stationing in the mountains.

A certain soldier Xue Han was attracted by the plot, and said with emotion: "'Squad Leader Xu' is still working hard in the face of illness, and I still have a situation where I am afraid of the heavy in my usual training. And the characters in the sketch In comparison, I can see the difference in myself.”

  There are officers and soldiers in the heart, and the stage has no size.

Last summer, when Jiang Quanfeng, the backbone of literature and art at a certain base, was rehearsing the sitcom "Only for the Moment of the Sword", he considered that he would face an outdoor performance environment that was empty and silent. The comrades in arms can hear and feel.”

In the hot summer, the heat was unbearable. He and his partners often practiced with dry mouth and peeling lips, but they still did not miss the adjustment practice of each word.

In the end, the warm applause of the officers and soldiers during the performance was the best response to their efforts.

  Sections of texts recite the story of the strong army; each note expresses the pride of the sword.

Looking back on the history of field literature and art creation, the main themes of each work focus on the theme of the times, the inspiration for creation comes from fiery practice, and the creative power comes from the grassroots front line.

In it, we seem to hear the roar of the launch vehicle, smell the smoke of gunpowder in the training ground, see the bloody picture of the missile army being alive and kicking, and feel the rocket army in the new era. The spirit of...
