1951September 12, Premier Zhou Enlai personally issued the decree of the Central People's Government, and widely sang "Singing the Motherland" throughout the country. Nowadays, "Singing the Motherland" has become the ritual song, opening song or ending song of various major events in China. China People's Broadcasting Station's "National News Network" and "News Newspaper Summary" also used it as the opening song, so it was called "the second national anthem".
Singing the Motherland is a patriotic song composed by Wang Xin. 1950 September 15, on the eve of the first national day, when Wang Xin passed Tiananmen Square, he couldn't help getting off and enjoying Tiananmen Square covered by the golden sunset. Looking up, a bright red national flag is flying high in the glow, which makes people feel excited and encouraged.
After returning home, she hummed with Wang Huifen, the wife who gave birth to a child, and wrote the lyrics of "Singing the Motherland" overnight. The next day, I went to the Song and Dance Troupe (now Song and Dance Theatre) at No.42 Jinzhou Road, Tianjin, and gave the lyrics of "Singing the Motherland" to piano player Jin (female) aged 65,438+04 and tenor Wang aged 65,438+09 to play the first song.
