In the long river of years, there is a song called "The Edge of Heaven". Its lyrics were written by Ji Rigelen, a Mongolian boy who lived during the Cultural Revolution. Like the vast number of educated youth, Ji Rigeleng responded to the call of the country and embarked on the journey of the Production and Construction Corps.
At that time, life in the Corps was hard and challenging, however, during this time, Ji Rigelen met a beautiful girl, and her company made life less bitter. The two hearts are closely attached to each other in the common ordeal, caring for and encouraging each other, making the days warm and beautiful.
Three years later, the girl was successfully admitted to a key university in Beijing, but Jiri Geleng failed to do so. On the night of the girl's departure, she went to the young man's barracks, hoping to express her feelings. However, under the faint kerosene lamp, the two stared silently and did not say a word until dawn. The girl is gone, and the young man is not seeing him off, and this farewell is thirty years.
Jiri Gelen later became a painter, but before he became famous, his life was full of ups and downs and hardships. In order to pursue his ideals, he resolutely decided to leave the Corps and fly to Beijing. At the capital airport, his eyes were drawn to a familiar figure. He was a lover of the Corps thirty years ago, and now he is China's ambassador to foreign countries. This encounter filled him with memories of that past.
Ji Rigelen wrote a lyric to express his feelings about that memory. This song is "The Edge of Heaven". Nowadays, the song is sung all over the country, especially in Inner Mongolia.
A few years later, the female ambassador heard the song at a gathering of comrades-in-arms in the Corps. She was touched by the song and asked whose work it was. Her comrades-in-arms told her that it was written by a painter named Jiri Geleng, and that it was written for lovers of the Corps. The female ambassador was very emotional, and arranged a high-level banquet the next day, specially for Ji Rigeleng and some comrades-in-arms of the corps.
At the banquet, the female ambassador maintained a solemn attitude, but her eyes showed deep emotion. She asked Ji Ri Geleng about the story of "The Edge of Heaven", and Ji Ri Geleng responded with a smile: "Don't listen to their nonsense!."After that, the two did not talk about "The Edge of Heaven" during the entire banquet.
Years have passed, and this innocent and profound love affair has been praised among the people. Ji Ri Geleng's song "The Edge of Heaven" has become a classic on behalf of love and memory, and has been sung throughout the country, especially in the land of Inner Mongolia, and has been passed down for thousands of years. It is a song that not only records a touching love affair, but also witnesses a painter's long journey from suffering to glory.
The re-encounter between the ambassador and Ji Rigelen evoked deep memories of that past. That night, Ji Rigelen wrote a lyric in his basement in Beijing, turning that memory into a moving melody. This song carries the thoughts and emotions of thirty years between the two people, like a conversation through time. This is a song that not only sings the twists and turns of personal fate, but also tells the changes and vicissitudes of an era.
Today, the melody of "The Edge of Heaven" has spread throughout the country and has become a representative work for many people to recall the past and think about life. Jiri Geleng's brushes and singing have left a deep imprint on the long river of time and have become an unforgettable literary story. This is a song that not only sings the sweetness of love, but also carries the extraordinary fate of an ordinary person.
