Many people can sing this song, but few people know who the author is. The composer of this song is Gao Ruxing, a young composer, who wrote many excellent music works in his short life. In the heyday of his creation, this talented composer was persecuted to death during the Cultural Revolution.

1929 was born in Xing County, northwest Shanxi Province. Xing county is an old revolutionary base area, and it is a poor place where crops are not planted and grass is planted. Surprisingly, there are rich folk song resources in that barren land. Gao Ruxing has sung many folk songs since he was a child. He not only remembers the lyrics of folk songs, but also remembers several different tones and different singing methods of the same song. He is a shepherd boy. When he was lying halfway up the mountain herding sheep, he often couldn't help humming his own folk songs while watching the eagles flying in the blue sky and listening to the birds singing in the bushes. 1944, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was in full swing. At the age of 14, Gao Ruxing joined the "Fighting Drama Club" of 120 Division. When he first arrived at the drama club, his main task was to learn, learn culture and learn to play the violin. He has a strong sense of music and rhythm, and then formally participated in the band performance. 1950, the "Battle Drama Club" accepted an important task, organized a condolence group to express condolences to the road-building army fighting in Kangzang during the snowstorm on behalf of Commander He Long and Political Commissar Deng Xiaoping. Meng Guibin and I led a performance team and accompanied the condolence group all the way to the performance site. Gao Ruxing is the main actor. He can play the violin, drum and tap dance. After crossing Erlang Mountain and Dadu River, I came to kangding city, Xikang Province. Kangding is a famous city, and Kangding love songs are world-renowned. Further on, the snow closed the mountain, so we had to stand by in Kangding. He called the people living in the small building together and said, "Meng Guibin and I wrote a song called" Tibetan Singing the People's Liberation Army ". Please listen. " After singing, everyone applauded warmly and said it was a good song. Some said, "We have" Singing Erlang Mountain "and now we have" Tibetan Singing the People's Liberation Army ",which is great. Some said, "There are few duets between male and female voices, and we are the first. "After the performance of the road-building troops," Singing the People's Liberation Army in Tibet "quickly spread throughout the country, and then won the prize in the 195 1 military art performance. This is Gao Ruxing's first novel, which greatly inspired the creative enthusiasm of young writers aged 2/kloc-0.

1953, the Song and Dance Troupe of the General Political Department visited the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries in the name of the People's Liberation Army Song and Dance Troupe, 170 people. In order to show off the appearance of this car abroad, I asked Gao Ruxing to organize the whole team. He is enthusiastic and meticulous, and arranges the size of cars and the number of people in each car in an orderly way. In order to get on well with more than a dozen drivers in the Soviet Union, he began to learn Russian again. There are many high-rise buildings in Moscow, and the subway stations are resplendent, especially listening to folk songs and lyric songs sung by many singers, such as Katyusha, Hawthorn Tree, Far Away ... the song of the distant Volga boatman, etc. And after listening to the symphonic concerts of Tchaikovsky, Smetana, dvorak and other masters, suddenly such a vast music came from the small world of Shanxi folk songs. He appreciated and admired the music and songs of the Soviet Union at that time, and all his pocket money was bought from the Soviet Union. After returning home, he studied Russian wholeheartedly, listened to records repeatedly, even dressed like a Soviet, and often got together with some Soviet classmates. After 196 1 year, Sino-Soviet relations deteriorated. Many comrades reminded him not to approach Soviet students. He didn't listen and said, "We are still friendly with the Soviet people." Later, a friend secretly told him, "You are suspected," he said. "It's really puzzling. My mind is full of notes. What do you doubt about me? " At that time, his notes were full of "class struggle". From then on, he began a lifetime of bad luck. Soon, he was inspected by the Party, transferred from Beijing, left the Bayi Film Studio, and went to the Wuhan Military Region Cultural and Art Troupe to create.

Gao Ruxing works hard in Bayi Factory. In a few years, he wrote more than 20 films and music, such as The Story of Six Treasures, How Beautiful the Mountains and Rivers are, Hui People's Detachment, Wildfire and Spring Breeze Beating the Ancient City. 1sunny day in 999 is an episode of the story of six treasures written by him at the age of 24. The song was sung everywhere as soon as it appeared. Later, it was mentioned in the memory of Huang Zongjiang's screenwriter: "I (screenwriter Huang Zongjiang) thought there should be a song here, and it must be a folk song, so I told the composer Gao Ruxing my idea, and thus a classic that has been sung for half a century-1999 Sunny Day" was born. As tall as a star, Xiaoba Road was born. What a genius. "I feel sorry for the early death of Gao Ruxing." Later, he wrote an episode of Divided Water in Liu Chang for Beijing Film Studio, which was widely circulated. This song, like Sunny Days in 1999, became the most popular song at that time.

Just after the Spring Festival, Gao Ruxing was suddenly interrogated. The rebels forced Gao Ruxing to confess the crime of "Su Xiu spy" and the evil purpose of writing this decadent song "Sunny Days in 1999". Gao Ruxing refused to plead guilty. They fought day and night and tortured them. As tall as a star, his ribs were broken and inserted into his lungs. He fought back the pain and retorted angrily, "This is a frame-up." . Soon, the lung infection became thicker and the wound became cancerous. It was already in the advanced stage of lung cancer when it was discovered. At this time, Gao Ruxing was allowed to go to the hospital, but he had to wear handcuffs. He couldn't stand the humiliation of his personality and said loudly, "I won't go, I'd rather die." Three days before Gao Ruxing died, he asked Wang Yunxia to help him go to a small photo studio nearby and take a photo of the couple. When he left, he said, "Xia Yun, help me put on my military uniform, don't put on my hat badge and collar badge, so that our children can see in the future that his father is not a bad man, but an upright PLA soldier who fought in the south and the north." Before he died, Gao Ruxing asked his wife to sing "Come with me" for him, but her wife choked up and couldn't sing that song. I just came from home to take care of my little niece, looked at my uncle tearfully and said softly, "Uncle, let me sing you a song." She saw her uncle's head move slightly, and he sang softly, "It was a sunny day in 1999, and my 18-year-old brother came to the river ..."

The 42-year-old Gao Ruxing stepped on his beautiful melody and quietly ... disappeared forever. ...

After the Cultural Revolution, Gao Ruxing's memorial service was held in Beijing. The representative of Wuhan Military Region solemnly declared that Gao Ruxing was an outstanding party member of China's * * * production party, and rehabilitated him, overthrowing all false words and restoring his reputation.

My dear little comrade-in-arms, this bright little star, will soon disappear from the sky, but his beautiful melody will fly in people's lives for a long time and in the clear sky of the motherland.

Word: Ma Jinghua

Qu: Zhang Piji

1979 65438+February 2 1, the episode of TV scenery film The Legend of Three Gorges was recorded at the scene.

Director Ma Jinghua paced up and down anxiously. The film's episode "Homesickness" is not ideal, and there is no refreshing feeling. Composer Zhang Piji is suffering from a bad cold at this time. It is already five drafts, "almost no confession."

Li Guyi, who just finished recording, stood by with mixed feelings. This song is high and low, I'm afraid no one can sing it except professional actors, so it's hard to be welcomed by the masses.

The movie is about to air. What should I do? We discussed it all night. In the face of everyone's opinions, Zhang Piji had a brainwave and said, "Why don't you ask others to be smarter?" The argument lasted until 3 am.

Finally, Song, then the director of CCTV production department, and Zeng Wenji, then the chief sound engineer, suggested that all the songs and lyrics be overthrown and rewritten. So, Li Guyi returned to the residence of the Central Orchestra, and Ma Jinghua stayed in the office to write lyrics overnight. Zhang Piji went home to rest first, and then composed music after writing the words.

Hard night, short silence. Unexpectedly, this rewriting caused an unexpected uproar.

A popular song.

A few hours later, at 7 o'clock the next morning, before Zhang Piji got up, someone knocked at the door and delivered the lyrics written by Ma Jinghua overnight.

The 7-year-old daughter handed the lyrics to the bed, and Zhang Piji glanced through it in a hurry, feeling very smooth. In this draft, the title of the song was changed to Homesickness. The content of the lyrics is that Wang Zhaojun left his hometown of Zigui and embarked on a long road of marriage. Affectionate Wang Zhaojun, step by step. The mountains and rivers in my hometown bid farewell to Jiangnan Road and live in Humayi North Wind all my life.

The lyrics turned the landscape of Zigui into relatives in Zhao Jun's mind: "Your figure and your singing voice will always be reflected in my heart. Although yesterday has passed, it is difficult to meet alone again. How can I forget your affection ... "

The more Zhang Piji looked at it, the more he felt, and the impulse to create sprouted in his heart. "First of all, the title of the song is good-"Hometown Love ".Secondly, the handling method is good, which shows Wang Zhaojun's reluctant love for his hometown in an anthropomorphic way."

Zhang Piji leaned back on the bed and hummed softly. This well-known composer has written many popular songs before, including the episode of TV series "The World Found" and the opening song of CCTV's "Sunset Red" column. Inspiration came, and Zhang Piji flew out of bed and came to the office. After more than half an hour, Song was waved.

Zhang Piji said that his orientation in composing "Hometown Love" was to be "foreign", using drum sets, electric guitars and electronic keyboards that were rarely used at that time. This is very difficult for the staff, because these musical instruments were banned during the Cultural Revolution and were "bourgeois". The staff finally found a drum set from the warehouse of Haizheng Song and Dance Troupe, and Chen Zhi, the only one who could play the electric guitar at that time.

On the evening of February 23rd, 65438+, heavy snow fell. In the historical memory of the parties concerned, this scene is vividly described: in the recording studio of china national radio, the beige ceiling and dark brown walls scatter soft lights. Li Guyi stood in the corner of the room, wearing a crimson sweater, with a light figure and a calm expression. Everyone held their breath when stringed instruments and electric guitars were playing outside the door.

Li Guyi's singing was sincere, euphemistic and plain, which fascinated the staff present. At the end of the music, Ma Jinghua forgot to give the order to turn off the tape recorder.

"You cried!" Zhang Piji saw Li Guyi's eyes shining with tears. "I think of my hometown Yuelu Mountain." Li Guyi said.

1979 65438+February 3 1 At 8: 00 pm, CCTV broadcasted the TV series Legend of Three Gorges in the prime time after News Network, and the song Homesickness was broadcast with the film.

Shanghainese are the most sensitive. The next day, at 65438+65438 10, 0980+ 1, Wen Wei Po sent a message saying that the songs played in the CCTV scenery film yesterday were very nice and everyone liked them very much.

1980 In February, Nostalgia was selected as this week's song by Beijing People's Broadcasting Station. At that time, the habit was to play a song every day from 12 to 12: 30 and from 6 pm to 6: 30 pm, teaching while broadcasting for a whole week.

In that era when TV was not popular, the song of the week had a great influence and nostalgia suddenly became popular. Zhang Piji still remembers that many people were humming this song when they were waiting in line to buy things.

Li Guyi changed from a rising star to a yellow singer.

Who knows, "nostalgia" became popular, but it became a sin. What happened next is ridiculous.
