"Mr. Ma, I'm late. But I like your suona very much. I want you to play another song, but I'm afraid you're too tired!" In the live broadcast room of Ma Chunfeng, a villager in Mazhuang Village, Hongen Township, Zhecheng County, Shangqiu, Henan Province, the two-hour live broadcast was almost over, but the enthusiasm of the audience was still high. Although they were tired, Ma Chunfeng and his wife Du Xiaoyan cheered up again after seeing the message from the audience and played the song "A Hundred Birds Descend to the Phoenix". Many viewers who were going to quit the live broadcast room praised it. After a live broadcast, the number of fans of the video number increased by more than 2000.

In Ma Chunfeng's studio, such a lively scene is normal.

Mazhuang Village is a well-known "Suona Village". According to the county annals, the local Suona has a history of more than 400 years. Almost every household here can play the suona. A few years ago, there were 29 suona teams in the village, and the income from the suona performance was tens of millions of yuan every year.

Ma Chunfeng studied suona with his father when he was 8 years old, and went to other places to perform with the suona team when he was 11 years old. When he grew up, he relied on a suona to play in ten counties and eight villages, and supported his family. However, in recent years, fewer and fewer people have studied and played the suona. Ma Chunfeng has been thinking about how to inherit and carry forward the ancestral suona skills.

At ordinary times, Ma Chunfeng likes to brush videos with his mobile phone. Slowly, he tries to put his own Suona playing videos on the Internet. In January this year, Ma Chunfeng opened an account on the short video platform "Suona Village", but in the original video, he performed alone, without interaction or popularity.

Many times, Ma Chunfeng thought about giving up. This New Year, Ma Jianbiao, his son, came home from other places and gave his worried father an idea Ma Jianbiao is full of confidence.

Ma Jianbiao has participated in short video recording and live broadcast activities. Under his guidance, Ma Chunfeng started from shooting short videos. Ma Chunfeng often invites relatives and other villagers to make guest appearances. In the video, no matter the family gets together for dinner or encounters in the field, everyone can pick up their own instruments, perform impromptu performances, and dance when they are happy. Slowly, the short video became popular, and my son suggested that he do live broadcast. "There must be scenes, dialogues and performances, so that we can be hot!" Hearing the "secret" taught by his son, Ma Chunfeng suddenly realized.

This spring, father and son set up a live broadcast room in their own yard, with a red carpet and several chairs. The setting is simple, but it is very "rural". The environment is simple, but the live broadcast is not careless. Ma Chunfeng and his wife take turns to host the active atmosphere. There are both suona solo and country instrument ensemble. Villagers have come to Laoma yard with small benches to watch the live broadcast. The audience even left a message, "It's so delicious!" "This is the taste!"

The video number has become more and more popular and has more and more fans, with 323000 fans at present. Ma Jianbiao also quit his job in other places and went home to concentrate on the behind the scenes work of short videos and live broadcasts.

"Our family's strength is too small. It is the whole village's business to carry forward the suona art!" Ma Chunfeng said that in the next step, he would consider driving more villagers to participate in the online performance of Suona, so that the traditional skills of Suona Village can be revitalized, and also open up a new way for villagers to become rich.
