The silver hair group in Re: KTV
Li Xiugen is more busy after retirement than at work.
she lived in the system for a lifetime, after retirement, life was activated, see infinite world.
she studied photography, and her husband had a SLR camera, shooting from time to time. She learned to dance, a bit of a little bit of action. The old lady can't see the square dance and keep pace with it. It doesn't mean much. She loved singing, and after two rounds of tests, she joined a retired Choir of a ministry and worked in the second soprano voice. The choir guide is retired from Central Conservatory of Music, ear tring, always able to find discordant voices in harmony, you! Sing it again! Many members are not very low in their positions before retiring. At this point, they have no temper at all.
Li Xiugen's cell phone is always vibrating, which is the activity reminder of every WeChat group. She had to ask for leave from the dance class to go to two activities of the same KTV. Every hour, she would go to another box to show her face and sing a song. The partner who played with her was Li Qingzhu, who was 69 years old (a pseudonym), and Li Xiang, 60 years old. On the table of
KTV, there was Li Xiang's old paper bag, containing music scores and print lists in alphabetical order. The paper has been grinded with some edges. The songs on it are all Li Xianghui's songs, which are convenient for singing. One song, the old ladies discussed whether the resonance area of the song is in the cranium or chest, in order to further improve.
Li Xiugen's friends mostly travel abroad and have no financial burden or language barriers. In KTV consumption, these people do not care much about the price, and the sound effect and environment are more important.
Zhang Tuanrong is very sensitive to the price. She used to go to Song Hui Hui, where there was an old age discount every Tuesday. After she was canceled, she and her friends transferred the stronghold to Yin Huang Yue you Hui. This KTV is hidden in a decaying mall in the community, through the express outlets to the logistics warehouse and the elevator to the ground floor to see the Golden Hall of its Southeast Asian style. In the afternoon of Monday to Friday, it only costs 57 yuan to sing 5 hours.
in the eyes of our partners, Lao Zhang was delayed by the unit. Many years ago, Zhang Tuanrong high school, with two pigtails, completed his career and was assigned to a state-run garment factory in the south of Beijing. That's where her mother worked. She was born unwell, reused and unhappy, but she had no job hopping. Later, the Zhejiang Gang came to Beijing, bringing the bright and cheap clothes in the open market, and the factories were gone. Later, the whole life was much more than half.
now, she is still not familiar with her neighbor who has been with her for 10 years. Everyone around her knows she is the grandmother of the fox. The fox is a Samoye dog of her son. For the time being, she has no grandchildren.
in WeChat group, Zhang Tuanrong is the lady of Fenghua.
she is very popular and calls for people to come. In a group, no matter how old the age is, boys are called boys and girls are girls. When Zhang Tuanrong could not go to KTV, he threw himself into the competition of the national K song. This is an online singing software. Uploaded works have a ranking in terms of visits and scoring. She has sung 300 times, often on the day's popularity list.
I just sing and sing. Zhang Tuanrong always said so, and then in the next song, a long soprano was dragged out. Ma Yan,
20, sometimes admired these old people who sang. In her eyes, they are almost the same: they have Beijing accounts, pensions and leisure. In addition to her youth, she has nothing for the time being. She stands on the high heels with a height of 4 centimeters every day for 12 hours, and can't use her cell phone.
Li Xiugen knew clearly that after 70 years of age, the possibility of free activity is becoming less and less. I have 10 years to play in my life. She said with a quiet smile.

health is a hidden worry in the sound of thunder. An old boy in Zhang Tuanrong's group recently discovered cancer. He continued singing after the diagnosis, and his partners kept silent about his illness. Zhang Tuanrong, a child with asthma, with years of growth, the body of a variety of problems, in accordance with the factory closed at the time of the arrangement, her one year medical reimbursement limit is limited, need to elaborate on the use of.
Li Qingzhu, a 71 year old Lao Zhang, has recently recovered from a serious illness in order to celebrate the special group. The two people always appear together in KTV to play the opposite side, the male voice is thick, the female voice is sweet.
they are not the original. In 2008, Li Qingzhu met an old friend at a singing party. He is three years old. She is a graduate of Fudan University. She has worked hard in the school, and has struggled with the bitter and sweet times she has experienced. Song became a matchmaker, and KTV was the two most common place to meet.
two people spent 10 years in dusk and are still living in separate houses. All are people who have children and respect each other. About singing together, the old man took the subway to leave before the evening peak, and the old lady sang the end of the activity.
every year on Tomb Sweeping Day, Li Qingzhu goes to Babaoshan to pay homage to his dead husband. He always brings a potted flower. Flowers should not be cut fresh. They must be placed in the bedroom for one year in advance, so that they can remember all kinds of details of life and talk to those who left before they are away.
singing K before Qingming, Li Qingzhu will definitely point a "really miss you", and tell Lao Zhang: it's not sung to you. Lao Zhang smiles and returns a "friend not to cry".
such a feeling is a luxury in the circle. Zhang Tuanrong is surrounded by many single elderly friends, but friendship is not as easy as friendship. In the old age, there is too much to worry about.
it's not easy to get together for a single game. Everyone's schedule is too full. Family affairs are the biggest trouble: the children are busy with their work, and the elderly have taken full responsibility for the care of their grandchildren. Li Xiugen didn't completely emancipate himself until last year when he went to primary school, and he had his own time. Zhang Tuanrong had to take care of his 91 year old mother and wait at least 3 days a week to feed her mother's bed.
in the second half of life, the first half of the time is a fragment of memory. Walking in the street, Zhang Tuanrong knew where the pieces were. The South Third Ring Road Viaduct across Beijing is the old house of her family. The Yongding River, which flows through the bridge, was as clear as glass, and when summer came, the father took her and his sisters down to the river to touch the weeds. Later, his father, who was suffering from illness, was a vigorous young man who won the first prize in a swimming competition to commemorate Chairman Mao's crossing the Yangtze River.
now, every time she agrees with her partners, Zhang Tuanrong doesn't say the name of KTV, but it's just where the original Geely was. It was a huge supermarket. In the 90s of last century, there was a lot of traffic until the arrival of the new millennium.
in noisy KTV, she can retrieve some fragments from old songs. The old people love to sing mainly red songs and old songs, singers Zhou Bingqian, Guan Mucun and Jiang Dawei frequently appear in the song list; MTV is Kaili Zhang or Jiang Shan, which is their young idol, and like them in KTV, they appear in the image of the mother-in-law in the film and TV series. Wang Zhiwen is still talking about love with young girls.
the military song is a big hit. Zhang Tuanrong remembered his teenage idol as a soldier, a girl who bought white cloth to dye green, made an army style green bag, and then took a trendy military uniform. One of her friends, who was 18 years old, had been swept away in the last round of tests. She regretted this. Every time she entered the KTV, the green army uniform must be fixed.
Zhang Tuanrong felt that no matter how much trouble he had, he was happy to finish singing. Before finding a microphone in her old age, she remembered that she used to sing with a megaphone last time or at the elementary school's support meeting. I was an activist at that time.
a friend beside her stressed: it's a radical. This is a thin old lady. Many years ago, she was a girl with a braid of two braids. He jumped out of the train with an enamel cup and a towel from the countryside, and went to Shanghai, Wuhan and Tianjin.
some people like to recall the past, and others try to keep up with the present. Li Xiugen followed the mobile phone software to listen to the songs of the four seasons variety show "singer".
Li Qingzhu loves to sing with Lao Zhang a nursery rhyme our field. This song was made in 1953, but the pictures shown in KTV were intercepted from idols in Korea. The lyrics have not changed: the wind is blowing in the forest, and thunder is raging.
