Yu Jinwang, member of the Standing Committee of the Shaoyang Municipal Party Committee and minister of propaganda
Yu Jinwang, member of the Standing Committee of the Shaoyang Municipal CPC Committee and director of the Propaganda Department, said in his speech that the people have faith, the nation has hope, and the country has strength. "Faith" is a masterpiece born with history and sung in response to the times, the author firmly grasps the key to the prosperity of the country - faith, and takes it as the core and theme of the work, using musical expression to show the ardent desire of hundreds of millions of people to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, expressing the people's incomparable love for the motherland and the author's enthusiasm for the people.
Chai Yongxing believes that the words and sentences of "Faith" can be touched, and the familiar, touching, and intimate sentences around them are familiar. Presenting the Communist Party members' "initial mission, firm conviction, beautiful blueprint, and national prosperity and people's strength", the ideological nature of the lyrics has reached the height of what it should be, and not only the melody is very distinctive, but also the arrangement technique is remarkable.
Pan Qingbei said that the song has profound ideas and high political standing; its art is exquisite and its connotations are rich; it is well-produced and widely publicized. "Faith" is an excellent literary and artistic work with distinct characteristics of the times and can inspire people's hearts, adheres to the principle of "three essences" of creation, carries forward the main theme of the times, and sings the common voice of the broad masses of people in the new era with high quality.
Yang Xiao held that the song "Faith" closely follows reality, praises the flesh-and-blood affection of the party and the people, sings the voice of the people, reflects the style of the new era in which the Chinese nation has firm convictions and steady steps under the leadership of the COMMUNIST Party of China, and faithfully practices the people-centered creative orientation.
Zhu Xiaosong said that the success of the song "Faith": First of all, using comparative expression techniques, the "virtual" and "real" companions were completed. The second is the companionship of "reason" and "love", so that the main melody work has a longer vitality. The great truth that "the people have faith, the nation has hope, and the country has strength" is poetically transformed into the surging power of "faith", which is integrated into the words of the lyricist and into each note of the composer. The third is that the songwriter modifies the original poem (original word) so that the praise sung to the leader becomes a hymn to the people.
Yin Xiaoxing said that "Faith", a masterpiece of fine works, takes the "law of beauty" in Marxist literary and art theory as the guideline, and the words "profound meaning of philosophical beauty", "emotional materialization image beauty", and "poetic characteristics of musical beauty" displayed in the words can be described as lyric writer Yang Wenguo and Wen Yi, with a big vision and great feelings, to express the charm of artistic beauty, poetically nourish the original heart, lead the mission, is committed to inspiring the life of those who strive for the cause of communism, and constantly moving toward glory.
Kwong Houqin said that the tune of "Faith" is majestic and atmospheric, euphemistic and ups and downs, and the lyrics are magnificent, timeless and long, and have endless meaning. The successful experience of its lyric creation is the best model for the creation of the main theme song in the new era. It is rich in close to reality, lofty intentions, strange in peace, ingenuity, emotional in the middle, and high-spirited atmosphere.
Chen Lei said that the song "Faith" is a model work of "lyrical feelings in the heart, singing the songs of the times", and is the fruit of the songwriters expressing the true feelings in their hearts, natural and smooth, and natural, with their pens, they have written the power of faith, written the voice of the people, and because of their distinct epochality, they have been selected by this era and have been irresistibly recorded in the annals of history.
Composer and well-known composer Meng Wenhao introduced in a telephone interview that dreams and beliefs are the beacon and cornerstone of mankind's bright future. The song "Faith" firmly grasps the two keywords of the new era, dream and faith, lyrically writes the length of the dream and the height of faith in the new era, and depicts the beautiful blueprint of the prosperity and prosperity of the motherland.
Lyricist Yang Wenguo said at the seminar that the song "Faith" has been brewing for a long time, and as a grassroots propaganda worker and a lover of literature, he has the responsibility and obligation to create some fine works of acura party, acura motherland, acura people, and acura heroes, so as to unite the will of the broad masses of the people to struggle, stimulate the enthusiasm of the people's officers to start a business and have the courage to take responsibility, strengthen the common faith, and make due contributions to the realization of the great Chinese dream.
