After entering, Lei Lao was appreciated by the then president Li. "At that time, an event was held.

Opportunity, I wrote a guzheng solo, which surprised Li very much.

Later, one of Lei Lao's teachers suggested that he transfer to the composition department. "At that time, the department disagreed, or the teacher squeezed through the crowd. Finally, I found a classmate from the composition department to' change' me, and I finally got what I wanted."

Instrumental Trio "Spring is Coming"

Gaohu and Guzheng Trio "Spring Comes", written in 1956, is the work of Lei Yusheng in his youth. 1956 was warmly welcomed at the first national music week.

This song is adapted from Fujian folk song "Tea Picking Butterfly" and Yunnan folk song "Running Water".

This song was originally a trio played by Gao Hu and two guzheng, with novel form and gorgeous colors. It can also be played in the form of Gao Hu, Guzheng and dulcimer trio. The works give full play to the unique timbre of these instruments-bright, gorgeous and good at expressing happy feelings. This adaptation better shows the artistic conception of spring and the vitality of nature.

The music style of the whole song is bright and smooth, and it has the effect of breathing in one breath.

Song "Welcome Song"

At that time, Lei Yusheng, composer of Liaoning Opera House, was invited to compose music for Chang Ying's film "Where do the guests come from?". After the music was finished, the factory asked to create two more films, so he asked his old partner Liu Wenyu to finish the task together. On the train to Changchun, Lei Yusheng told Liu Wenyu about the film and hummed his own melody. Liu Wenyu began to recite the draft. After watching porn in Chang Ying, the director asked them to finish their creation within 10 days. As a result, it took them only three days to write the welcome song.

"At that time, Guangdong was at the forefront of reform and opening up. I think there must be some trendy elements in my works. I thought of disco at that time, and specially asked someone to bring me back some relevant materials from Hong Kong. After I got familiar with it, I started to create. When the work came out, some people felt good and trendy enough; And more people think it is too trendy, but they have lost our traditional things. " Lei Lao, who was in a dilemma, suddenly came up with a welcome song played locally during Premier Zhou's visit to Vietnam, which not only had the characteristics of China, but also kept the details of Vietnamese music. "It suddenly dawned on me that no matter how' foreign' things are, they must also belong to China in his bones, otherwise they would have changed a long time ago!" Lei Lao recreated the welcome song, and on the basis of retaining the charm of Cantonese opera, he appropriately added elements of foreign music such as the United States and Southeast Asia. "Liu Wenyu's lyrics are particularly good, and expressions like' treat each other with sincerity' were rare at that time."

1980 Spring Festival Evening, Li Guyi sang this song, which became popular all over the country.
