Yan Guoqiang woke up as usual. He glanced at his sleeping wife, and a smile appeared on his lips. In order not to wake his wife, he moved very gently when he got up.
Carefully walking out of the room, he immediately turned on the red-light radio placed on the counter.
A brand new Red Lantern radio costs as much as 80 yuan, which is equivalent to more than two months of Yan Guoqiang's salary. However, his radio is second-hand, 80% new, and only cost more than 60 yuan when he bought it. The key is that there is no ticket.
Yan Guoqiang is the workshop director of the first branch of Qianyang Machinery Factory. He does not have many hobbies. He just likes to listen to music. Every morning when he gets up, he listens to CCTV's "Song of the Week" on time.
Magnetic! Magnetic!
After a burst of magnetic current, the rich voice of a middle-aged man came from the radio.
"Welcome to listen to this weekly song program on time. I am Xu Zhian..."
"Today I bring you a patriotic song, "My Motherland and Me"."
Yan Guoqiang was immediately shocked when he heard it. The song he recommended today was actually a new song. This is a very rare thing.
‘A new song that can be recommended by Song of the Week is definitely not bad!’
"This song was written and composed by Han Chunming and sung by the Huaxia Conservatory of Music singing group. The work uses a lyrical and passionate melody, cleverly combining beautiful and moving melody with simple and sincere lyrics, expressing people's longing for the great motherland. Heartfelt attachment and sincere praise.”
"The lyrics are written in the first person..."
"Vividly expresses the flesh-and-blood connection between each person and the motherland where he was born and raised..."
'Oh, this rating is high enough!'
As a loyal listener of "Song of the Week", Yan Guoqiang rarely hears such high praise, which makes him look forward to the next songs even more.
"Next, I and my motherland are here for everyone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the radio station switched almost seamlessly, and a clear and beautiful child's voice slowly flowed out from the radio.
"My motherland and I cannot be separated for a moment."
The first line has almost no instrumental accompaniment, just pure and clear vocals.
The moment the child's voice spoke, Yan Guoqiang was struck, and his whole scalp went numb.
"I sing to every mountain, I sing to every river."
The next line, the extremely impactful and infectious chorus directly captured Yan Guoqiang. He couldn't help but think of Long'an Mountain in his hometown and the Long'an Water that raised him.
"There is smoke from cooking stoves, small villages, and ruts on the road."
Along with the music, he thought of his family members thousands of miles away. Since he was transferred to Qianyang Machinery Factory, he only goes home a handful of times every year.
…………
Wherever I go, a hymn flows,
I sing to every mountain, I sing to every river,
…………
Give me forever, blue waves, clear waves, and the song in your heart.
…………
As soon as the song started playing, Yan Guoqiang burst into tears. At this moment, he felt homesick and missed his relatives at home so much that he wanted to go back and see them.
'Next week, I will go back with my wife and son next week!'
Yan Guoqiang stared at the newborn sunrise and silently made a decision in his heart.
At this moment, there are countless "Yan Guoqiang" on the land of China. They are all shocked by the melody, the lyrics and the singing of this song.
Because there is such a mountain and such a river in everyone's heart.
Especially the older listeners, they were even more moved by this song.
They have all experienced the difficult years during the founding period of the People's Republic of China, and they know how hard-won peace is. They understand the meaning of the lyrics better and are more able to resonate with it.
Many people listened, and like Yan Guoqiang, their eyes were wet with tears.
Especially the sentence at the end, 'Give me forever, the blue waves, the clear waves, the song in your heart', has touched the softness deep in the hearts of countless people.
Many people cried, either at home, in the workplace canteen, on the playground, or on campus.
At this moment, no one will look down on them because of their crying.
Because, too many people were moved, too many people covered their faces and cried, and many people even cried out because of their inner emotions.
Every song recommended in "Song of the Week" will be played repeatedly after the first time. The lyrics of the song My Motherland and Me are simple and catchy. By the time it is replayed on the radio, many people can listen to it.
He hummed softly along.
In private houses, canteens, playgrounds, campuses, etc., countless people burst into tears and spontaneously started singing.
If someone were to count, the total number of chorus members from all over the country would be in the millions. If the tears shed by these people could be collected, it would probably not be a problem to fill a standard swimming pool.
This is the classic charm that will not fade with the times.
At this moment, the Han family courtyard.
As the creator of this song, Li Jie was notified by Jiang Guofeng as early as a week ago that "My Motherland and Me" will be featured on today's weekly song, making his debut in front of the people of the country for the first time. Naturally, he will not be absent.
As the last note fell, he couldn't help but clapped his hands gently.
Very satisfied!
The performance of this song is perfect. Whether it is singing, arranging, recording, harmony, or mixing, it has all reached the extreme of this era. It cannot be more perfect.
The effect of the chorus version is far more shocking than that of solo singing. Chorus emphasizes collective collaboration and uses the human voice as a tool of expression for choral art, which is more likely to resonate with people and stimulate the emotions of the audience.
After listening to the effect, Li Jie knew that this song was destined to become a hit!
It will become popular all over the country at the fastest speed. One night, no, just one song is enough.
Fortunately, the broadcast only introduced his name and did not introduce his detailed information. China has a large population and there are many people with the same name. People who don't know the inside story will never connect him with the 'Han Chunming' in the broadcast.
.
After all, no matter how you look at it, the two of them are incompatible.
How could a freshman majoring in mechanical engineering at Shuimu University be the creator of this song? At most, he would be considered to have the same name and surname.
As for those who knew the inside story, Mr. Jiang had already greeted him and requested that his personal information be kept strictly confidential.
The only person who needed Li Jie to say hello was their class teacher Liang Sirong. Although he didn't know much, it was not difficult to guess the facts as long as he connected the two things a little bit.
However, Li Jie still knows Liang Sirong. He is a typical engineering student who is not very interested in music. Even if he hears this song, he may not notice the songwriter.
This is a very normal thing. Many people will only remember who sang the song, but will not pay attention to the creator behind it.
