Who is the orchid?

Traditional folk songs in northern Shaanxi enthusiastically praised a rebellious woman in feudal times-Lan Huahua with simple, vivid, sharp and powerful language. This girl, known as the smartest and most beautiful girl in the world, was forced to marry the Zhou family "like a grave". However, the orchid flower did not give in. In pursuit of happiness, she risked her life and resolutely resisted feudal ethics. Folk songs are sung with beautiful, smooth, open and powerful melodies, absorbing narrative techniques. Deeply express the lyrics in the form of segmented songs, and successfully shape the image of Blue Flower.

The true story is:

Lan Huahua, formerly known as Ji, has a nickname, 19 19, and was born in a peasant family in Linzhen Street, Nanchuan, Yan 'an. She grew up ingenious, delicate and lovely, and at the age of sixteen, she was graceful, like a hibiscus emerging from the water, and as lovable as a Malanhua after the rain. People gave her a nickname "Orchid". There is a soldier in the Red Army. He fell in love with Lanhuahua at first sight, secretly loved it, and vowed to stay with him for life. Soon they got involved. Because the Red Army was ordered to go to Shanxi for the Eastern Expedition, the Red Army soldiers had to bid farewell to Lanhuahua temporarily.

Lan Huahua's parents thought that their daughter had ruined the family style, so they asked the matchmaker to give Lan Huahua, who was 17 years old, to Ren Xiaoxi, the youngest son of a rich man in the back street of Linzhen Town. Lan Huahua refused and was carried into Ren's home under the threat of her parents. Ren Xiaoxi did everything he could to eat, drink, go whoring and gamble, and was later executed for robbery and murder in Yichuan. The next year, Lan Huahua was forced by her parents to marry a rich family named Shi in Linzhen. The boy of the Stone Family is ugly and pockmarked. He took a fancy to the beauty of orchid flowers and spared no expense to buy a wife. Lan Huahua was tortured in Shi Jia, and she missed her Red Army lover every day. Because of mental troubles, he finally died in January of 1942 at the age of 24, leaving a woman, a man and two children.

Red Army soldiers returned to northern Shaanxi after the victory of the Eastern Expedition. They were very sad to learn that Lanhuahua was forced to get married, but they were afraid of getting involved with Lanhuahua, so they dared not visit Lanhuahua, only suffering in their own hearts. Later, I heard that Lanhuahua died of illness, and she was heartbroken and could not afford to get sick. In the hospital treatment, I secretly conceived a song of acacia that missed orchids. After leaving the hospital, he happened to be transferred to Gulin County (now Linzhen Town, Yan 'an City) as a clerk. Soon, he was transferred to Gulin County Primary School as the teaching director. He still missed the orchid flower, sorted out the Orchid Flower Song (84 sentences) he wrote when he was in hospital, and changed Ren Jia to Zhou Jia. Teach students dolls and villagers to sing and recite. "Orchid flower" soon spread in Gu Lin, Yan 'an, Yichuan and Suide. After being collected and sorted by Lu Yi musicians in Yan 'an, it quickly spread throughout the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region and the north and south of the Yangtze River. After the national liberation, it spread all over New China and overseas.
