The capital's artist Olivia Zalianty also appeared to read a poem by KH Mustofa Bisri (Gus Mus) in the war theatrical on November 10, 1945, the 2022 Surabaya Juang Parade which was held in the City of Heroes, East Java, today."In the past, Arek-arek Suroboyo, did not want to iron America, circled England, loved the Netherlands, was angry with Gurka. They just didn't like arrogant, rampant, littering the situation, they had to fight back, even though their lives were at stake because they were heroes," Olivia Zalianty loudly read a poem by Gus Mus quoted from Antara, Sunday night.The poetry read by Olivia Zalianty successfully shook the hearts of all people present in the area of Jalan Pahlawan. With her loud voice, she was able to make the atmosphere of Jalan Pahlawan, which was previously boisterous, silent.The entire audience seemed silent when they heard every verse brought by this woman who was born in Jakarta, October 18, 1981. Not only that, but the poetry that tells the story of the struggles of the people of Surabaya in stemming the onslaught of allied forces also made the Mayor of Surabaya Eri Cahyadi and the Surabaya Regional Leadership Coordination Forum (Forkopimda) amazed.The atmosphere seemed emotional when a number of veterans began walking into the theatrical area of War on November 10, 1945. At that time, veterans entered the theatrical area with photos of National Heroes with the accompaniment of the song "Face Arriving" performed by artist Pritta Kartika.This November 10 War theatrical was played by a number of historical communities, such as the Root Brug Soerabaia Community, Indonesian Reactor and Historical Lovers from Sumatra, Kalimantan, Bali, Malang, Pasuruan, Kediri, Magelang, Yogyakarta, Jakarta and Bandung.After participating in a series of Surabaya Juang Parades, Surabaya Mayor Eri Cahyadi said, on November 10, 1945, the heroes had taught everyone to fight in seizing and defending independence regardless of ethnicity, race, and religion.Therefore, Mayor Eri hopes that Surabaya, with its "Arek" culture, can seize independence from poverty, ignorance, and unemployment. He believes that this can be realized if the government and society fight together."If we fight together, we can definitely seize independence, don't fight only on one side. So actually, the point of today's event is that we want to restore the spirit of heroism on all of our day. That is the wisdom and philosophy of today's event," said Mayor Eri.Therefore, Mayor Eri hopes that the heroic spirit can continue to burn in the hearts of the people of Surabaya. In fact, he also invited the public to make Surabaya a city that is a baldatun toyyibatun warabbun ghafur.It is known that the Surabaya Juang Parade in 2022 takes the route starting from Jalan Pahlawan, Jalan Kramat Berhitung, Jalan Gemblongan and Jalan Tunjungan. Then it continues to Jalan Governor Suryo, Jalan Yos Sudarso, Jalan Jak Jaksa Attorney General Suprapto, and ends at Surabaya City Hall.In 2022, Mayor Eri Cahyadi and Deputy Mayor Armuji ride horses with Forkopimda Surabaya. This made it different from the Surabaya Juang Parade in the previous two years who boarded the Anoa combat vehicle.At that moment, Mayor Eri led the Eriada Troops with Forkopimda Surabaya at the third row parade while greeting the community. Meanwhile, in the first and second rows, Anoa and Paskibraka Surabaya fighting vehicles were filled. At least, there were 3,500 participants involved in the 2022 Surabaya Juang Parade.
