After Five Years in Hiding, My Patriotic Song Was Requisitioned by the Government!

Top-tier star Jiang Chen refused to let powerful interests control him, and was blacklisted across the internet. His Weibo account was muted, his contracts frozen, and his career destroyed!

All his peers mocked him: “Singing patriotic songs? So tacky! You deserved to get banned!”

But when the centennial celebration of the founding of the Party arrived, a song he had performed, The Song of a Strong Military, quietly went viral in the social media circles of veterans across the country!

The Tourism and Culture Bureau: “Sir, could we license your The Great Wall to use as the theme song for our city’s promotional video?”

The military art troupe: “Comrade, please come help coach our choir on this March of the Steel Torrent!”

That day, top stars were still battling for attention on the trending lists.

That day, every platform that had once blacklisted him replaced its homepage with his songs and his photos!

The entertainment company boss who had once buried his career received a call, trembling: “I hear you’re planning to blacklist our country’s ‘honorary artist’?”

In the end, an official document bearing a red seal arrived in his inbox:

“After due consideration, Comrade @Jiang Chen is hereby invited to compose and perform the theme song, I Love You, Motherland, for the National Hero Medal Award Ceremony!”

The evening news devoted a full three minutes to reporting on singer Jiang Chen’s creative achievements, saying his songs “give voice to the national spirit and unite the people in their beliefs”!

While other stars were still scrambling for endorsements and cooking up dating rumors, he was already on a national stage, receiving tributes from decorated heroes!
