The theme song of the movie "Little Flower" is "Sister Cries for Brother".

"My sister sheds tears looking for her brother" is a song sung by Li Guyi, with lyrics written by Wang Kaichuan and music composed by Wang Min. It is an episode of the 1979 movie "Little Flower". In January 1980, the song won the first place in the "Listeners' Favorite Radio Songs" organized by "Song" magazine and China People's Broadcasting Station. On July 5, 2005, the song was selected into the "100 Golden Songs of Chinese Films for a Century" recommended by the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the China Film Association.

The song was composed by Wang Min and lyrics by Wang Kaichuan. It is an episode of the movie "Little Flower". There was no song "Sister Seeking Brother in Tears" in the original script. Wang Min and the film crew went to Huangshan, where the film was being filmed, to experience life. After watching the film crew filming, Wang Meng suddenly came up with the idea of ??writing such a song, and also I found the lyricist Wang Kaichuan.

Before recording the song, Li Guyi watched the relevant footage of "Little Flower". She strives to find a specific character in a specific environment and is very dedicated when singing. On the eve of the song recording, Li Guyi also performed in Qinhuangdao.

Her program was moved up 2 hours in order to catch the train back to Beijing. I got home at 12 o'clock at night and rushed to the Beijing Film Studio recording studio at 8 o'clock the next morning. In the morning, I recorded "My Sister Cries for My Brother", and in the afternoon, I recorded another interlude of the film, "Velvet Flower".

Song Appreciation

In "My Sister Is in Tears for My Brother", Li Guyi boldly tried to apply the soft and breathy singing methods of Western operas and Chinese classical operas to modern songs. The use of umlauts, rests of different durations, and changes in lining words in this song are flexible and ingenious, making the melody more euphemistic, delicate, beautiful and novel. The song is also quite skillful in absorbing some of the characteristics of Chinese opera music in moving and moistening the tune.

People can feel the beauty of the Southern gracefulness and Western boldness, as well as the charm of traditional poetry and folk songs, through "My Sister Cries for Her Brother".

In addition, Li Guyi expresses rich and delicate emotions with his "qi voice" singing method, and his singing voice is clear, sad and sweet. In the movie "Little Flower", "Sister looking for her brother sheds tears" corresponds to the relationship search mode of two sisters and one brother in the film, expressing the spirit of unyielding struggle despite suffering, weeping and complaining, and combining strength and softness.
