The background of the song "Ningxia"
The creator of this song, the famous record producer Li Zhengfan, went to Wangmin Middle School in Xihaigu, Ningxia. The children there had never seen Snoopy and didn’t know what Coca-Cola was. The Loess Plateau only had blue sky, green trees, With the three colors of loess, Li Zhengfan wrote the song "Ningxia" after spending just three days together. He wrote about how he was moved by this group of students in Ningxia, and also about the unforgettable memories of that quiet summer.
“This place is so poor!” This was Li Zhengfan’s first impression when he arrived at Wangmin Middle School. He described that “it takes two and a half hours for each student to go to school and two and a half hours to finish school. Forty children from the school were crowded into a four-square-meter space, and everyone slept on their sides with their knees pressed against each other.” Two young people who graduated from Fudan University in Shanghai volunteered to work there as teachers. Every day before class, they had to go down the mountain for half an hour to carry water for the students to drink. The teacher filled the water in two large dishes and used solar energy to boil the water. Two steamed buns are enough for each student to eat for a day.
Although the material environment is poor, every student is full of strong curiosity. The moment they left, all the female students cried. Some people gave them hand-sewn "shoe soles", and students I carved a large rough seal for him with my own hands. Before leaving, Li Zhengfan wrote the lyrics of "Ningxia" on the outdoor blackboard, "Quiet summer, the stars are dotted in the sky, I miss you a little, I miss your face..." The whole school read it out loud, "At that moment, my tears almost burst out," Li Zhengfan said.
He left with a lot of emotion. On the way back, the melody came to mind. After returning to Taipei, he compiled the song "Ningxia" and was reluctant to play it out.
