The new ballad is a local folk song created by Singapore, which prevailed in the 1980s. It bears the growing memory of a generation of Singaporeans and shows the development track of the island country for 30 years. It is melodious and catchy. In his speech, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong praised the new ballad and sang "When I was young, who didn't have a dream ..." The scene was very warm.
In 20 19, I went to Singapore Anglican Middle School to take a special course on new folk songs. I remember the time when I explained and sang to the children. It was "On the Eve of the History Examination" composed and sung by Liang Wenfu. Take the first paragraph for example, and you will know how interesting this song is:
"If Qin Shihuang burned all the books, I wouldn't have to read them at half past three; If Duke Zhou is really busy governing the world, why does he keep urging me to sleep? Dr San Lv didn't jump into the Miluo River. What should Lao Wang do if he sells zongzi? If the overlord of Chu was less than Wujiang River, Liu Bang in the next class would not be so arrogant ... "
Here are two sentences about Qu Yuan and Zongzi. Is it particularly appropriate to sing during the Dragon Boat Festival? A short song, involving dozens of historical figures and allusions, is vivid, humorous and full of literary talent. If you are interested, you can search and listen.
Singapore's Ministry of Education requires schools to offer such China culture courses on a regular basis, which is not only a heritage of history, but also a tribute to literature and art, and it is also an expectation and confidence for the future. It also makes us both descendants of the dragon, which is very gratifying.
