at the foot of Huang Yangjie in Jinggangshan, Jiangxi, there is a small mountain village called Shenshan Village, which was once a typical poor village in the old revolutionary base areas. A few years ago, under the guidance of the national precise poverty alleviation policy, Shenshan Village not only took the lead in poverty alleviation in the country, but also became a model village for poverty alleviation in the country.
Composer Xiong Wei, Jiangxi-born composers Pan Qingbei and ci writers Huang Xiaoming were entrusted by Jiangxi Federation of Literary and Art Circles and Jiangxi Music Association to go deep into the old revolutionary base areas to collect folk songs.
Jinggangshan is the cradle of China's revolution, and the Shenshan village here is the first in the country to get rid of poverty, which is of special significance. They saw that Peng Xiaying, once the poorest villager in the village, turned the cordial care of the CPC Central Committee into a great driving force to get rid of poverty and become rich, and opened the first farmhouse in the village to drive the villagers to get rich together. They saw that the party and the government were deeply concerned about the people in the old areas, and the people in the old areas had deep friendship with the party and the government.
they decided to write a song from the perspective of the people in the old liberated areas. "I don't know how to tell you, sincere words are always buried in my heart", which is exactly the words flowing from the hearts of the people in the plain old areas. "The flowers all over the mountain bloom every year, and only you can understand this land wish." The flowers in Jinggangshan are red azaleas, just like the blood of martyrs. Indeed, no one knows the thickness of the land and the wishes of the people better than the * * * producers. The purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly flows in the blood of the * * * party members.
"A thousand words praise the well-off society, and sincerely praise the party's kindness." Xiong Wei said that this is the foothold of the song. The lyrics of this song are vivid and simple, the melody is affectionate and touching, and the singing is eloquent and cordial.
the new era needs new expressions. Xiong Wei said that it is necessary to express the main theme with novel musical language and romantic artistic feelings, so as to unify ideology, artistry and audibility.
In the chorus, "I didn't tell you, but you always thought about me" is the most touching sentence in the whole song. The words "nothing" and "always" in the original lyrics are repeated twice, which plays an important role in emphasizing and deepening the memory of the audience. Many people report that they will hum this lyric after listening to this song.
It is worth mentioning that this song is not only melodious and easy to sing, but also has the characteristics of artistic songs. "Many art songs are prone to high and low music, and ordinary listeners have a threshold for appreciation. We emphasize the audibility of the song just to make it grounded and let more people be infected. " Xiong Wei said.
