The theme song of the TV series "Red Sorghum" is "Jiuer".

"Red Sorghum" is adapted from "The Red Sorghum Family" by Mo Yan, China's first Nobel Prize winner for literature. It tells the story of Jiu'er's life in the vital land of Gaomi, Shandong in the early 1930s. A modern legendary epic written by life about love and hate, conquest and being conquered, full of vitality. "Jiuer" is the theme song of the play. It was written by He Qiling and A Kun and composed by A Kun. There are four versions sung by Han Hong, Hu Shasha, Tan Jing and Sa Dingding respectively.

This song uses the heroine "Jiu'er" as the first person. Through Han Hong's story-telling high-pitched voice and repeated but powerful lyrics, Jiu'er's strong and forbearing character and life-long life are conveyed in the work. The plot of love, hatred and ups and downs is vividly expressed.

The creative background of the song "Jiuer"

When Ah Kun was composing the music for "Red Sorghum", he found Mo Yan's "Red Sorghum Family" and the movie version of the music and listened to it repeatedly, and Director Zheng Xiaolong also had some communication and came to the Gaomi sorghum field where the filming was done to collect stories. In Akun's mind, Jiu'er is stubborn, dares to love and hate, just like sorghum, with a vigorous life. In addition, the shadow of Zhou Xun also appeared in A Kun's mind. This character and this actor have a certain fit with his music.

In Akun's view, Han Hong's vocal range is very wide, and she can sing any high note, and the tone of this song must continue to improve, moving towards the high range.
