The background of singing a folk song for the party

"Welcome to Jinggang, welcome to visit. Trains and planes go to Jinggang, and the expressway is spacious. Red is remembered, and green is a good scenery. Thanks to the leaders, thanks to the party, leading us to a well-off society, and the happy days will last forever ... "Jiang Manfeng, a cleaner in Longtan Scenic Area of Jinggangshan, sang a new song created by himself, expressing his joy at the victory of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

On the day of the opening ceremony of the 18th CPC National Congress, Jiang Manfeng had a cold drip, but she insisted on watching the opening ceremony in the clinic. After watching the opening ceremony, she felt very excited and encouraged, and happily sang her own song "Shizuoka welcomes you". Jiang Manfeng said that she likes singing very much. During the intense cleaning patrol, she likes to use singing to release her mood and eliminate fatigue. Simple local accent, loud singing and moving melody often attract many tourists to stop and listen. Many tourists will come here and ask her to sing a song and take the initiative to pay the fee, but she always meets the requirements and refuses to charge. In this way, singing red songs became Jiang Manfeng's "supernumerary work". Tourists often say that after listening to Jiang Manfeng's songs, climbing mountains is not tiring. Jiangmanfeng has gradually become a unique scenery in Jinggangshan, known as "Jinggang Bailing".

People remember Jiang Manfeng's singing, and because of her singing, they know Jinggangshan better. Jiang Manfeng was born at the foot of Jinggangshan, and his grandfather Jiang Zhihua was a member of Jinggangshan Red Army. As a descendant of the Red Army, she not only sang red songs such as "Red Army Brothers, Walk Slowly" and "Tea Party Invitation Song" handed down by her grandfather, but also created songs with the theme of the great changes in Jinggangshan and the improvement of people's quality of life to celebrate the 18th Party Congress.

"Only songs that sing true feelings are beautiful!" Jiang Manfeng said that as an ordinary party member, I will do a good job in cleaning the scenic spots based on my post. In my spare time, I teach my children to sing the red songs left by my grandfather, and use the red songs to inherit the Jinggangshan spirit, so that the younger generation can cherish today's life more.

"Singing a folk song to the party, I compare the party to my mother; My mother only gave birth to my body, and the glory of the party shines on my heart. In the old society, when I was whipped, my mother would only cry; * * * The Producers' Party called on me to make a revolution and beat the enemy with a whip ... "

Seeing the above words, many people's minds may immediately echo with familiar melodies. For decades, this song has been sung all over the country, inside and outside the Great Wall, and has touched the heartstrings of generations. The lyricist of this song is Yao, a technician of Jiaoping Coal Mine of Tongchuan Mining Bureau, Shaanxi Province.

Yao Yu/KLOC-0 was born in Shitang Town, Yanshan County, Jiangxi Province in March, 1933.

1949 In late April, Lead Mountain was liberated. Yao, who was only 16 years old and studied in Yanshan middle school, joined the army with dozens of students and was admitted to the fifth branch of the Military and Political University of the Second Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. After graduation, he was assigned to the Political Department of the 5th1Division of the Second Field Army. 195 1 In the winter of, he crossed the Yalu River with the troops singing the battle songs of the volunteers and returned to China after the armistice.

Soon, Yao will be transferred to Shaanxi He first worked as a mining technician in Shangluo Asbestos Mine, and then transferred to Jiaoping Coal Mine of Tongchuan Mining Bureau.

Yao Zhouxiao recalled that the rest of the poem was written smoothly, except for the word "flogging" in the second paragraph, which was difficult for him for an hour. His first draft is "Three mountains crushed me in the old society" ... and knocked down the mountains to be the master. "But after repeated consideration, he always felt that this was not enough, and he couldn't find a more suitable word to replace it. Feeling uneasy, he flipped through a picture book and happened to see a fat landlord beating some long-term workers with a whip. He had a brainwave, and felt that using "whip" to describe the cruelty and suffering of the old society was more vivid than "three mountains", so he immediately changed his pen to "whip me in the old society" ... picked up the whip and defeated the enemy! "

In addition to the first two paragraphs of Yao's poem, there are four sentences behind it: "My mother gave me a heart, and I was alone in the storm;" Hundreds of millions of hearts follow the party and March forward in the storm. "Comparing the Party to the" mother "in the poem is what the miners said.

He contributed three short poems to Shaanxi Literature and Art under the pseudonym of Jiao Ping, which were published in the column of "Poetry Leaflet" and edited into "300 New Folk Songs" by Feng Chun Literature and Art Publishing House.

1962, the great proletarian soldier Lei Feng died in the line of duty. Under the call of Chairman Mao's inscription "Learn from Comrade Lei Feng", the whole country set off a climax of learning from Lei Feng. Zhu Jianer, a teacher of Shanghai Conservatory of Music, read the first two paragraphs of this poem extracted by Lei Feng in Lei Feng's Diary, then set it to music and gave it to Cai Danzhuoma, a Tibetan singer who was studying at Shanghai Conservatory of Music, for audition. I didn't expect this song to be an instant hit and spread all over the country, and it was sung for decades.

When this song was sung everywhere, Yao remained unknown. He is like an unknown grass, which has experienced numerous storms. The main reason is his "bad background" and "complicated relationship". He has an uncle who is a major officer of the Kuomintang Army Joint Department, and a brother who works in a factory of the Kuomintang Navy. Until now, there are more than a dozen relatives in Taiwan Province province. In the era when "bloodline theory", "composition theory" and "class struggle" prevailed, he was easily classified as "key dictatorship object" and "internal controller".

If he is a weak-willed person, he may have been unable to trudge and sink in the sad journey. However, Yao Zhouxiao believed in the Party, the masses and himself, and his hope and pursuit made him overcome his bad luck. He put down his pen, but he didn't give up his thirst for knowledge. He finished reading classic theories such as Complete Works of Lenin and Selected Works of Mao Zedong, which improved his ideological understanding to some extent. Talking about this wasted time, Yao just smiled and said, "I felt sad and at a loss at that time, and I also had complaints and complaints." But with the simple and generous miners, the humiliation and perseverance of the miners gave me confidence and strength. It is my motto to regard miners as my teachers and send my feelings to the mine. In this way, it will survive. "

When "Singing a Folk Song for the Party" was sung everywhere, the songwriter Zhu Jianer always wanted to know who the lyricist "Jiao Ping" who had never met before was. In the autumn of 0963, Zhu Jianer finally found "Jiaoping" in Jiaoping Coal Mine, Shaanxi Province through various searches, so he wrote to the Party Secretary of the mine. Zhao Bingru, secretary of the Party Committee, didn't know who Jiao Ping was, so he called a meeting and asked everyone, "Who is Jiao Ping?" Shinohara boat didn't answer.
