In the world of **, each song carries a specific cultural background and historical memory. Katyusha, as a well-known Russian song, has been closely linked to the history of several countries since its birth. However, in recent years there has been an opinion that Chinese should not sing Katyusha. What is the reason behind this?
The song Katyusha was born in 1938 and was originally written by the Russian poet Mikhail Isakovsky and composed by Matway Brontel. It was widely sung in the Soviet Union and became a spiritual pillar for Soviet soldiers in World War II. The "Katyusha" in the song is an image of a girl waiting for her lover to return from the battlefield, symbolizing the desire for victory and loyalty to love.
However, in China in the 1970s, due to its specific historical background, Katyusha was classified as a "yellow song" and was not allowed to be sung. This ban reflected the tension between China and the Soviet Union at the time, as well as the rejection of Soviet cultural products. Although Sino-Russian relations have improved today, this history still influences the perception of Katyusha by some.
In addition, there is an opinion that the birth of "Katyusha" is related to historical events in Northeast China. Some accounts suggest that Isakovsky, the song's lyricist, was inspired by the beauty of Hunchun during the Zhang Gufeng incident. If this statement is true, then "Katyusha" may be associated with the historical pain point of China's loss of the Tumen River estuary. Therefore, some people believe that Chinese singing this song may mean ignorance or ignorance of historical scars.
However, there are also different voices. Some believe that ** is borderless, and "Katyusha", as a beautiful song, should transcend the limits of politics and history. In fact, the people of China and Russia have a deep affection for this song. For example, in the commemoration of the victory in the Great Patriotic War, the officers and soldiers of the honor guard of the three services of the Chinese People's Liberation Army once sang a song in the Russian version of "Katyusha", which aroused a warm response from the Russian audience and **.
In conclusion, as a song with deep cultural and historical significance, the controversy of Katyusha reflects historical interpretations and emotional identities in different cultural contexts. There is no absolute answer to whether the Chinese should sing Katyusha. It is important that we respect history while also understanding that ** as an art form can transcend borders and connect people's hearts.
