Anyone who is from Jinhua Wucheng will definitely feel a lot of homesickness when they hear this ballad full of nostalgia. Chen Yue, the songwriter and singer of this song, also became a household name in Wucheng through "Jiangnan There Is a Jinhua City".
In the ancient city of Wuzhou, which is rich in history, Chen Yue sat by the Bayong Tower in the quiet environment of "Yan Fanggui" where "water connects three thousand miles to the south and air pressure reaches fourteen states in Jiangcheng" In the teahouse, together with the media from his hometown, facing the slowly flowing water of the Wujiang River, *** talked about nostalgia.
"Yan Fanggui" is the most culturally distinctive place in ancient Wufu. Perhaps only a quiet place like "Yan Fanggui" can be worthy of receiving Chen Yue, as if he has known Yan Gui back, returning, It is the softest place in every wanderer's heart.
This time, Mr. Chen Yue recorded the MV for his new song "Dear Wucheng, Dear You". In Chen Yue's new song, the strong nostalgia is still long-lasting.
His hometown of Bailongqiao is where Mr. Chen Yue lived in his childhood. His family went through many hardships during his youth, so that he had to go out to work to make a living at a very young age. He worked as a construction worker, worked as a street vendor, and also squatted down to shine shoes for others. In the years before he had the strength to lift a hammer, he was taken to Yongkang by his father's friends to be an apprentice and learn to hammer tin...
The hardships and misfortunes did not defeat the boy, but sharpened his strong will. character. After experiencing many unbearable hardships, fate finally opened a window for him. He had no education, but his musical talent was early on. When he was 13 years old, he wrote "From Hockey", which allowed everyone to see the faint light in this young child. Eight years later, after traveling to Jinhua, Yongkang, and Dongyang, Chen Yue decided to go south to Guangdong with his full musical dream and start a "Guangdong" life.
During his days in Guangzhou, Chen Yue, who came from the countryside, walked blankly on the bustling streets. The prosperity of the city did not surprise him at all. When he first arrived, he felt deeply lonely. This loneliness made the young man feel homesick. He missed his hometown, his family, and the ancient covered bridge lying across the Baisha River in front of his home.
Especially at night, in a foreign land, he saw the twinkling stars reflected on the Pearl River, as if he saw the stars falling into the Baisha River, and seemed to hear his grandmother sitting on the bridge telling her story. Fairy tale. It is this longing and sentiment that brought the song "There is a Jinhua City in the South of the Yangtze River" to the pop music world.
That year, Chen Yue had just turned 21 and was still a young man full of longing for the future.
Chen Yue sang his hometown with this song "There is a Jinhua City in the South of the Yangtze River". The song rang throughout the streets and alleys of Jinhua overnight. From then on, the people of Jinhua knew that there was a talented and lonely "Guang Piao". "Music genius. Today, "There is a Jinhua City in the South of the Yangtze River" has been included in the first chapter of the music textbook of Jinhua Primary School and has become the city song of Jinhua.
Bailong Bridge is a thousand-year-old city on the edge of ancient Wu. Baisha Creek, which slowly flows out from the hinterland of Nanshan Mountain, passes through the ancient city. The ancient covered bridge that spans the Baisha Creek was once a The most solemn lovesickness in my heart, no matter how far away from my hometown, the clear flow of Baisha Creek and the shadow of the ancient covered bridge will always surround me, year after year.
In Chen Yue's song, "There is a long river, surrounded by green mountains on both sides. Who is gently rocking the boat through the river of time? Whenever the sun sets in the west, the smoke rises slowly." "Rising up, I seem to hear again, deep in the alley, the call to go home, ha..." We seem to be able to see the towering peaks of Nanshan, as if we can see the white sand stream with floating reed flowers, as if we can hear our mother calling at the entrance of the village. Pan'er's call to go home for dinner.
Nostalgia fills the entire lyrics, and it lingers even after the passage of time.
The water leads to the southern country for three thousand miles, and the air pressure reaches the fourteen states of Jiangcheng. Ancient Wuzhou is dotted with rivers. Jinhua, a city with a population of more than 1 million, relies on a river less than 70 kilometers long, Baisha Creek, for drinking water. Most of the rivers with a total length of 68.3 kilometers run parallel to the Baimen Line, undulating at the foot of Nanshan Mountain.
Baisha Creek is also a river with rich historical and cultural heritage that irrigates and benefits the people. 2000 years ago, General Lu Wentai of the Eastern Han Dynasty led his people to build the Thirty-six Weirs of Baisha Creek, which became a famous river that benefits one side. Water conservancy projects. Today, the ancient Baishayan has become a monument for future generations to commemorate the achievements of the ancients.
It is this ancient white sand stream that makes Chen Yue unforgettable. Here is the suffering and melancholy of his boyhood, every bit of which gathered in his heart, until these homesick feelings were turned into beautiful notes and exciting words, flowing out from the tip of his pen, and then transmitted back to his hometown...
After more than 20 years of traveling, Chen Yue is now becoming more and more mature in art and has written city songs for many cities across the country. Because of his attainments and contributions to urban music creation, he is well-known in the music industry and is famous all over the world. He has been appointed as an honorary citizen by more than 100 cities at home and abroad. Now he lives in a foreign land, but he still has the same nostalgia in his heart.
To this day, another song "Dear Wucheng, Dear You" composed by Mr. Chen Yue has made Wucheng people excited again. As the first master of urban music creation in China, the proud son of Wucheng still insists on his fresh, popular, profound and graceful style of music. He uses anthropomorphic expressions to combine Jianfeng Mountain, Wujiang River, Baisha Creek, Nanshan and Beishan, etc. The city symbols are perfectly combined, expressing feelings on the scenery. In addition to telling his deep feelings, he also inadvertently recounts the past and talks about the new, singing about the new development and changes of Wucheng.
Chen Yue, the proud son of Wucheng who is known as the number one master of urban music creation in China, still insists on his fresh, popular, affectionate and melodious style, combining Jianfeng Mountain, Wujiang River, Baisha Creek, Nanshan It is perfectly combined with the symbols of Wucheng such as Beishan, expressing feelings about the scenery, but inadvertently reminiscing about the past and talking about the new, singing the new development and changes of Wucheng.
The sentence "Dear Wucheng, dear you" is affectionate and beautiful, injecting a distinctive light of humanity into Wucheng. In everyone's heart, there is a city of hometown, and the people who care about it live in the city. The city is used to compare people, and the people are used to describe the city. This way of personifying the city is novel and surprising, and touches the soul directly.
Wucheng is a famous historical and cultural city. It was established as a county in the Eastern Han Dynasty, divided into counties in the Three Kingdoms, and a state was established in the Sui Dynasty. Wucheng has a history of thousands of years, and it is more or less like a brocade and flowers. By the Miaomiao Wushui River, Wucheng people leave because of pursuing their dreams and return because of longing. Looking back thousands of times, Wucheng is filled with flowers, and I see countless ancient and modern beauty in Wucheng.
The camellias are blooming, the osmanthus is fragrant, the azaleas are flying in the sky, the cauliflower lights up the mountain tops, and Wucheng is filled with flowers. This is a city that looks like flowers all year round. The white sand and clear streams rush from harmonious villages to civilized cities, the dream of prosperity enters the lives of ordinary people from pages of blueprints, the simple rural style enters the harmonious new era from the glory of thousands of years, and the humanistic history enters the chats of ordinary people from yellowed ancient books.
Chen Yue, who has been wandering away from his hometown for many years, often regards the city where he lives as his hometown. He said that my heart is in my hometown. In the heart of the "singer", my hometown is always by my side, no matter he leaves. How long, no matter how far away he was, his hometown never left him for a moment. This is the innocent feeling of a Wucheng wanderer.
