Art experience:

In 1979, the filming of the movie "Homecoming" starring Siqin Gaowa was completed, but director Li Jun always felt that the last few scenes seemed a bit empty. I feel like I should add a lyrical song. Director Li Jun thought about it over and over again and came up with a few words: "The geese are flying south, the geese are flying south, the geese are calling so loudly that my heart is breaking. I don't wait for today to go, but I am already looking forward to the return of spring."

After that, he invited famous people to Composer Li Weicai composed the music and formed the song "Wild Geese Flying to the South". At first, I also found some people to try singing, but the results were not satisfactory. At this time, the sound engineer thought of Shan Xiurong. Because before this, he had recorded the episode "I Send Chicken Soup to My Relatives" for Shan Xiurong, so he was very familiar with her voice, so he suggested that she give it a try.

In order to sing the charm of this song, Shan Xiurong went home alone with the music score to figure it out for several days, and asked her husband to be the first audience. In fact, Shan Xiurong's husband can be regarded as a professional and old listener. Every time Shan Xiurong receives a new song, she must sing it to him first, and this time is no exception. Her husband used to work in the army.

He inspired Shan Xiurong, think about it, if I have to go far away for the work of the army, how would you feel? Yes, how would I feel? Shan Xiurong thought about it and sang the lyrics: "The wild geese fly south."

The flight flew very far, and she made the word "fly" from the beginning to the end. Processed and sang this song with emotion and voice. After the recording, the director was very satisfied.

As soon as the movie was screened, the song "The Wild Goose Flying South" quickly became sung in society. The success of the movie episode "The Wild Goose Flying to the South" established Shan Xiurong's status in the field of singing and laid the foundation for the development of her future singing career.
