A brief biography of the girl in Alishan:

The theme song "The Girl in Alishan" in the p>1949 film "The Storm of Alishan" was written by Deng Yuping (Sichuanese, who lived in Taiwan Province), composed by a well-known director Zhang Che (Hangzhouese, who went to Taiwan Province from Shanghai and then settled in Hong Kong), and the first song was the heroine Chien-Hsi Chang (Sichuanese, who lived in Taiwan Province).

Song introduction:

The song "Girl of Alishan" was produced in the mainland in 1949. After being sung by Xi Xiulan at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 1984, it began to be widely sung in the mainland of China. The real Alishan girl refers to the aborigines of the Zou nationality in Alishan. Nowadays, Alishan girls are generally in the cultural tribe of the Zou nationality in Alishan.

The Girl in Alishan, also known as Gao Shanqing, is the only piece composed by Hong Kong director Zhang Che. Although it is not a real folk song, it is always mistaken for a traditional folk song of Gaoshan nationality in Taiwan Province. In fact, it is only a creative song written by applying the form of Gaoshan folk songs. It was once passed down to Zhou Lanping, and it was confirmed that it was Zhang Che's work.
