"Get up, people who don't want to be slaves, build our new Great Wall with our flesh and blood..." On the morning of May 16, on the campus square of Guangji Junior High School in Zhouzhi County, 100 middle school students in red school uniforms used a gourd Silk played the national anthem.

Accompanied by the bright five-star red flag rising. They not only played the youthful melody of rural campuses with traditional musical instruments, but also played the "feelings of home and country" of rural middle school students.

The reason why such a wonderful sound of cucurbit silk can be heard in the remote rural campus is because of a Bai girl who came from Yunnan all the way. This girl named Yangliuqingzi not only brought the cucurbit flute musical instrument to the school for free, but also taught the children to learn for free. Yangliuqingzi told reporters that she majored in music at university, and Yunnan is the hometown of cucurbit silk. She has always had a wish to pass on traditional culture in her own way. In April of this year, she chose to come to Guangji Junior High School in Zhouzhi County, Xi'an City for the first time, teaching children to learn traditional musical instruments every day.

"Mr. Yang's teaching is very good. In just one week, we can skillfully play the complete three pieces of "March of the Volunteers", "Learning from Lei Feng's Good Example" and "Listen to Me Saying Thank You". I have never been in contact with cucurbit flute, and we are very grateful to Mr. Yang!" Xu Qing, Xin Kuan and other first-year junior high school students in the school were full of joy and emotion when they mentioned learning cucurbit flute.

According to the school's principal, Uncle Ma, the school has always advocated for students to find themselves, improve themselves, enrich themselves, and improve themselves through hobby activities. In order to further stimulate students' interest in exploring traditional culture and intelligent technology, the school has successively established joy and encouragement clubs, flag exercise clubs, and high-tech interest groups such as drones, model aircraft, and robots have also been put into operation. Today, Yangliuqingzi walked into the campus with cucurbita, and also organized a hundred-person club to make the campus traditional culture more colorful.

Now, Yang Liuqingzi's Hulusi teaching in Guangji Junior High School is about to end. She has trained a "baton" teacher in the school, and will continue to teach by the school's teachers in the later stage. Next, she will set off to more campuses. In her words, where there is a need, there is her presence! The purchase of musical instruments, etc., except for part of her own investment, the rest are sponsored by the caring people she contacts.
