Liu Chi accepted an invitation from an old friend of the troupe during the Anti-Japanese War. After reading the original work, the scene of the prosperity of the motherland and the high spirits of the people made Liu Chi's heart tremble. Liu Chi invited Qiao Yu, a poet who had cooperated many times, to talk about his own ideas and requirements: a magnificent lyric ode. After several consultations, Qiao Yu finished the lyrics. After reading the lyrics, Liu Chi couldn't hold back his passion and began to compose music.
