On September 15, 1950, when the sky in Beijing was exceptionally blue, Wang Xin came across the magnificent Tiananmen Square in addition to his official duties. On that morning day, the sun was like gold, shining on the majestic Tiananmen Square, and the five-star red flag was shining in the morning sun, which was eye-catching.
In order to celebrate the National Day, the workers were busy hanging up huge red lanterns, rendering a strong festive atmosphere, as if they felt the joy of the New Year in advance. This scene deeply touched Wang Xin, and he stopped to admire, red flags fluttering, red lanterns clustered, and colorful flowers, each of which was filled with deep patriotic feelings.
A year ago, on October 1, the solemn proclamation at Tiananmen Square shook the world:"The People's Republic of China was born! "Wang Xin, who experienced the scene, the five-star red flag was rising in front of his eyes, and the memory of that historical moment is now as clear as yesterday.
When the passionate October returned, he recited, almost instinctively and enthusiastically"The five-star red flag fluttered in the wind, and the hymn of victory was loud and exciting...."However, who would have thought that this inadvertent emotional outpouring would give birth to an immortal work that ignited the fire of the Chinese heart.
As night fell, Wang Xin, who had finished his work, stepped on the train back to Tianjin, but the deep impression of Tiananmen Square during the day still echoed warmly in his mind. The enthusiasm for creation pierced the night like lightning, and his heart ignited a burning desire to create, as if there was a fire burning in his chest.
He hurriedly pulled out his pen, but could not find anything to write on. At the last moment, he caught a glimpse of a cigarette case on the ground, picked it up without hesitation, and the reverse side immediately became his temporary canvas, and he whispered: "The five-star red flag flutters in the wind, and the hymn of victory is so loud; Sing about our beloved motherland and march towards the road of prosperity and prosperity.
Over the mountains, through the wilderness, across the surging Yellow River and Yangtze River ......The passionate creation made him can't help but chant in a low voice, tears and poetry mingle, and others may whisper and wonder: "Is he crazy?" ”
Or exclaim: "It must be the fanaticism of a poet." ”
Engrossed in his own creative world, Wang Xin reverberated with the vivid melody in his mind, and his brushstrokes were like a storm, giving birth to a song that contained a strong spirit of unity and created history in a short period of time.
He never expected that this song would touch the heartstrings of *** and ***, and he did not foresee that it would be fluttering in every corner of the world with the symbol of the five-star red flag, and imprinted in the hearts of every descendant of Yan and Huang.
At first, in the streets and alleys of Tianjin, this song quickly became popular with the word of mouth of the masses, and its power swept like a torrent. Subsequently, it flowed into Beijing, and even spread to *** and ***, and every listener was deeply affected and passionate.
On the eve of the National Day in 1951, Sun Shen, secretary general of the Chinese ** Family Association, was anxious to find a song that was deeply popular with the people - "Singing the Motherland". He unexpectedly learned that this song originated in Tianjin, and immediately contacted the creator Wang Xin, and Wang Xin said with a smile: "It is I who is the author who has a direct dialogue with you!" ”
Sun Shen's emotions rose after hearing this, and he was as excited as applause. In the same year, ** personally signed a directive, ordering the whole country to widely sing "Singing the Motherland", "People's Literature" and "People's **" were published simultaneously, making it another important melody in the festival, and the national anthem was played side by side.
After the National Day, the radio broadcast the melody of "Singing the Motherland" like a tide, and this song was like a spark of inspiration on the train, which quickly burned all over the land of China and was affectionately praised"Folk national anthem"。
Taking this as an opportunity, Wang Xin was invited to attend the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and meet his idol *. ** was full of praise for his work, praised the excellent songs, and presented the autographed "**Anthology" as a recognition of his **talent.
The birth of this song is deeply imprinted with the imprint of Wang Xin's personal growth and the spirit of the times.
In 1918 in Wuxi Dangkou, a peasant family gave birth to the best talent Wang Xin, his heart is Li Min, and his love for the best comes from the folk melodies of his childhood and the hardships of life.
In 1938, in the face of the fierce Anti-Japanese War, at the age of 20, he arrived at the Lu Xun Art Institute in Yan'an, the holy land of the revolution, with his best dreams. There, he witnessed a historic moment - the establishment of the North China Associated Congress, ** and other leaders attended in person, even though they were busy, they still did not forget the power of literature and art.
The finale was the "Yellow River Cantata" - a magnificent chapter that inspired national pride, created by Xian Xinghai and performed by Lu Yi teachers and students, shocking the audience.
In tonight's performance, Wang Xin, as the passionate leader of Wang Laoqi in "Riverside Lip Song", has not yet appeared on stage, and his trembling has aroused the concern of his companions: "Wang Xin, could it be that the chairman's presence makes you so nervous?"
Your shiver seems to tell of nervousness, but I know it's actually ......He replied firmly: "No, that's a burning of passion!" Did you know that every note carries the heroic oath of 'resisting the shame of the country', and it is the common spiritual echo of our nation? ”
This experience made Wang Xin deeply realize that a good song can not only ignite people's passion and stir people's hearts, but also awaken that tenacity and fighting spirit.
The experience of studying in Yan'an is like a priceless treasure for Wang Xin. On the occasion of parting, Xian Xinghai presented him with a prize symbolizing honor for studying in France-activity pencil, and sent an affectionate message: "This was my testimony to the creation of the Yellow River Cantata, and I hope you can use it to compose an inspiring melody." ”
lived up to expectations, Wang Xin responded with "Singing the Motherland", and this song won praise from *** and others, and became an eternal classic. However, behind this song is Wang Xin's tenacity and dedication in difficult years: he has been baptized by the twists and turns of history, his wife Wang Huifen is sick, and he himself spent three years of hard time in the countryside.
It was not until 1980 that Wang Xin's life stage was once again awakened by the bell of the organization, and "Singing the Motherland" also reverberated in the hearts of the public with his return. In 1982, he suffered the challenge of cerebral thrombosis, and since then he has been accompanied by a wheelchair, and his wife Wang Huifen has become his solid backing, pushing him to embark on the road of touring.
Despite the restrictions on his movements, Wang Xin's sincere heart did not stop, and he and his wife went to the holy land of the revolution to listen to the voices of the people. Unable to write, Wang Huifen became his right-hand man, ghostwriting music.
In these 18 years, he wrote hundreds of songs for children with love. So, what drives him to devote his passion for art to the next generation, despite the limitations of his body?
The answer may lie in his love for ** and selfless care for children.
In the early 90s of the last century, Hong Kong and Taiwan poured into the mainland, which was not suitable for the growth of children. Wang Xin is well aware of this, and he recalls the shaping of tenacity in revolutionary songs of that era, and believes that we need more positive songs to influence the next generation.
During a choral performance of "Singing the Motherland" in Chengdu, although there were some apprehensions at first, the audience's enthusiastic response exceeded expectations, and they were deeply moved by the infectious power of the song, and even an old man called for a return to the classics and the creation of more inspiring songs to nourish the children's spiritual world.
These words were like a clarion call, which inspired Wang Xin's sense of mission. On the way back, he consulted with his wife and decided to create a ** club to wholeheartedly promote patriotic songs, and his wife did not hesitate to support his noble cause.
On that special Chinese New Year's Eve in 1995, Wang Xin and Wang Huifen spent 60,000 yuan accumulated by their frugal life, and their children were deeply moved and donated 20,000 yuan to jointly build a spiritual monument - "Patriotic Song ** Meeting".
Despite his limited mobility, Wang Xin's enthusiasm for the cause of the motherland is in full swing, and his every step is full of affection. In the early morning of October 1, 2007, he sat in a wheelchair, led by his wife, with a deep attachment to the motherland, and slowly drove to Tiananmen Square, a symbol of solemnity and history.
At a certain moment in history, Wang Xin was honored to be the first witness of the national flag, when he revealed that he was the hero behind "Singing the Motherland", the national flag guard expressed endless respect to this wheelchair ** giant with a solemn military salute.
It was the last journey of his life, and the five-star red flag fluttered proudly in the sky of the motherland in his field of vision. In the late autumn of the same year, Wang Xin passed away in Tianjin at the age of 89.
What is touching is that his ** spirit crossed 380,000 kilometers after 43 days, by"Chang'e-1"From the orbit of the moon, the rousing melody of "Singing the Motherland" was returned.
The following year, at the Beijing Olympic Games, "Singing the Motherland" reverberated again, symbolizing the motherland's march towards prosperity and strength. With this article, we offer our blessings of prosperity to the great motherland, pay tribute to Mr. Wang Xin, and thank him for giving us spiritual inspiration!
