From the lyrics, we can know that this song is sung in memory of Jiu-Er. When people die, adults will tell their children that they are still there, but they have gone far. This is also a comfort to Jiu-Er's son! His mother went far away and watched him grow up in another place. Although everyone knows that this is a lie to children, children are still young and will still believe it.
Sorghum red is sung all over the sky, and the red here expresses the color of blood. But also to pay homage to Jiu-Er who was mutilated by the Japanese army. Jiu-Er is a Shandong girl, and there is a custom in her hometown, that is, to guide her dead relatives to heaven. Sorghum is a necessary travelling expenses when sending relatives on the road. In order to destroy the Japanese, Jiu-Er took them to the sorghum field and burned them all. Poor Jiu-Er died with the Japanese.
In the end, Jiu-Er used his life to send his relatives to the road of happiness. At the same time, it is also for the early restoration of peace in my hometown and the safety of my family. Looking back at history, how many people like Jiu-Er in our country were unfortunately killed by the Japanese army for their relatives in their hometown. We can't forget the shame of the past, develop and strengthen our Greater China, and there will be no more invaders.
