Celebrities in their hometown

My hometown is Wuxi, a land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River. Many people have produced Erhu Opera "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon". I think everyone heard you. Its author Hua is a small four-bedroom person in Dongting, Wuxi.

Hua, a folk musician, was called "blind" because he was blind at the age of 35. A Bing's life experience is very bumpy. He grew up without a mother, when he was 2 1 year old. Father fell ill and died. Later, A Bing got an eye disease. He was unfortunately blind because he had no money to see a doctor. A Bing had to live on the streets, making a living by busking and suffering from human sufferings.

Although A Bing lived a hard life, it didn't stop A Bing from pursuing music.

A Bing has struggled in darkness and poverty for decades, and her feelings about the painful life are reflected through music. His interlude works are sincere, gripping and full of strong artistic appeal. . Erhu solo "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon" is his immortal masterpiece. On the surface, "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon" seems to depict the moonlit scenery of Wuxi, the second spring in the world. In fact, it expresses the author's deep feelings about the hard life in the old society and entrusts him with his exploration and yearning for a better life.

The music is sometimes impassioned and sometimes weeping, beautiful and moving, full of strong Jiangnan charm. Seiji Ozawa, a famous Japanese conductor, shed tears when he heard The Moon Reflected in Two Springs. He said, "This piece of music is so touching that you should kneel down and listen to it." Today, "Two Springs Reflect on the Moon" has been listed as one of the top ten famous songs in the world, and it has even been taken into space by American spacecraft and passed on to aliens who may exist in space.

A Bing is not poor: people are not poor (not afraid of power); Poor people are not poor (not free to eat); Poor people are not poor (honest).

On one occasion, the Kuomintang warlord Tang please sing a birthday song for his thirteen aunts. A Bing flatly refused and was beaten, but A Bing did not give in. He also made up lyrics and played erhu.

During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese occupied Wuxi, and a man named Zhang Shijun became a traitor. When A Bing found out, he made up words to scold him and was beaten again. Later, the traitor was killed by the Japanese. A Bing clapped his hands and sang a song "The End of Scolding Street" along the street, which was applauded by Wuxi people.

Next to the Huanggong River in Huishan, Wuxi, there is A Bing's tomb. There is a bronze statue of A Bing in front of the tomb. I saw A Bing wearing a felt hat, ragged and scrawny, with a lute on his back and an erhu in his hand. He closed his eyes slightly, as if immersed in the sad and moving melody of "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon".

Ah, A Bing, you are the eternal pride of Wuxi! As a native of Wuxi, I am very proud. Your music makes me feel like a dream, let me hear your talk, sigh, sadness, bitterness and indignation flowing from the strings, and become the eternal swan song of the Chinese nation for a hundred years!
