Creative background

In the 1950s, in response to the party’s call, Pan Zhensheng chose to be a teacher in Ningxia. In Ningxia, the cute smiling faces of children often appear in his mind. When the children were lining up to go home, they would see the policeman who was maintaining order at the school gate. He would often walk more than ten meters and call back "Uncle, goodbye" from time to time.

Children will hand over items such as pencils, erasers and coins to the teacher. The small box with large pins on his desk is often filled with items handed in by children whose owners cannot be found. This scene often lingered in Pan Zhensheng's mind. It was at that time that he came up with the idea of ??writing songs for children.

One day in 1964, the Central People's Broadcasting Station's "Little Trumpet" program team asked Pan Zhensheng to write a song praising "good children". After receiving the invitation letter, Pan Zhensheng quickly thought of those warm scenes again. At this time, coins were circulating in large quantities in society. He thought of the children's ignorance of picking up gold and the scene of saying goodbye to the police uncle when they returned home, so he composed the song "One Penny".
