"The great Communist Party of China, riding the wind and waves, sailing away, leading China on the journey of the new era..." A magnificent "Pilot" pushed "Dream of the Orient • 2022 Oriental Satellite TV New Year's Eve Festival" to the climax. The affectionate and delicate female voice touches people's hearts, and the high-pitched and exciting melody urges people to forge ahead, inspiring the sons and daughters of China inside and outside the screen to forge ahead.
Singer Yi Liyuan, associate professor of the Communication University of China and singer, told reporters with a surging heart: "When I sang "Pilot", a heavy sense of history and a heavy sense of mission surged up in my heart, and I came up with the magnificent historical years of the Communist Party of China and the brilliant pioneers of the great people, pushing me to integrate my singing and artistic ideals into the cause of the party and the people. She deeply integrated her love for the party, her deep affection for the motherland, her praise for the times, and her vision for the future into the melody of the lyrics, expressing the faith and responsibility of literary and art workers in the new era.
Dreams are like sails, struggle is oars. As the ninth batch of newly created songs on the theme of "Chinese Dream", "Pilot" was first sung in the literary and artistic performance "The Great Journey" celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, and was broadcast on July 1, 2021 on the Central Radio and Television Station. On the occasion of the arrival of 2022, the MV of "Pilot" produced by the Central Radio and Television Corporation set off a wave of praise for the motherland and the times. The video shows the appearance of revolutionary holy places such as the site of the First Congress of the Communist Party of China, the red boat in Jiaxing South Lake, Jinggang Mountain, and Yan'an Pagoda Mountain, presents the rapid development of high-speed rail, military industry, aerospace and other science and technology, and expresses the magnificent feelings of hundreds of millions of Chinese sons and daughters who continue to forge ahead -- at the historical intersection of the "two hundred years" goal, we closely follow the "people's navigator" and stride toward the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation along the new journey of building a socialist modern country.
With the soulful folk beauty singing method, the solemn and majestic atmosphere of the song of the times is interpreted
On the screen, the atmospheric and freehand boat-shaped stage vividly presents the sense of travel of time and space and the surging sense of emotion. In the "Dream of the Orient • 2022 Oriental Satellite TV New Year's Eve Festival", this "sailing ship" departs from the banks of the Huangpu River, extending the audience's attention along the shoreline to the magnificent new journey, greeting the arrival of the New Year in the song of "Pilot".
For Yi Liyuan, Oriental Satellite TV has a sense of intimacy comparable to "Mother's Home Station" - since 2015, she has participated in Oriental Satellite TV's New Year's Eve activities for seven consecutive years. However, this solo "Pilot" still made Yi Liyuan feel a lot of emotions: "The finale song "Pilot" allows the world to see and understand the power of the Chinese people. ”
During the rehearsal of "Dream of the Orient • 2022 Oriental Satellite TV New Year's Eve Festival", she plunged into the recording studio to think and try repeatedly, and finally decided to adopt the folk beauty singing method, full of affection to interpret the solemn and majestic atmosphere of "Pilot". "In 2022, we will usher in the Beijing Winter Olympics and the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, hoping to convey the firm faith of communists with songs and express the enterprising spirit of perseverance of the Chinese people."
In recent months, this warm and soulful song has always haunted Yi Liyuan's heart. At the end of "The Great Journey", three generations of artists from old, middle and young generations jointly performed the chorus "Pilot". We resonated with tens of thousands of live audiences, and that kind of mental shock, spiritual shock, and emotional shock made me burst into tears on the stage. At that time, the song and applause blended and rose, the golden party emblem of 16 meters high shone brightly, 10 giant red flags were unfurled in the wind, the fireworks once again illuminated the night sky, and the bird's nest became an ocean of celebration, and the exciting moment made her unforgettable.
In Yi Liyuan's view, the lyrics of "Pilot" are simple and unpretentious, singing the fierce feelings for the Communist Party of China directly and lyrically, and the incomparable confidence in realizing the prosperity and strength of the country, the rejuvenation of the nation, and the happiness of the people, especially the words "Jiangshan is the people, painted as the scene in your chest" and "The people are the Jiangshan, write your mission", so that everyone has found resonance. "This song inspires the deepest emotion in Chinese heart, and it will definitely be able to spread." I look forward to "Pilot" becoming a work that represents the new journey of the new era! ”
The power of the shocking heart erupts out, inspiring the same frequency resonance of learning to sing and singing

Where does the shocking power of "Navigator" come from? "When I first read the lyrics, I had a surging, magnificent, and atmospheric intuitive feeling, and after deep understanding, I saw a warm and delicate expression of emotion." "Pilot" composer Kang Zhuqing revealed that the inspiration for the creation comes from his own military experience, the experience of learning the "four histories" and the understanding of deep fatherly love. It turned out that as early as when Kang Zhuqing first joined the army, he participated in the creation of a large-scale vocal suite "Xibaipo Suite". At that time, the main creative team went to Xibaipo more than twenty times to study the history of the Communist Party of China and collect a lot of historical materials on heroic deeds. These accumulations became the nourishment for her to create "Pilot", and finally she chose the lyrical version of the song, using big drums, snares and other instruments in the chorus, and the high and majestic rhythm became the soul of the song.
Wei Song, a famous tenor singer who participated in the recording of the MV, said that the song is warm, affectionate and high, and the emotional changes are gradually progressing, and the shocking power is gushing out. Nowadays, a wave of learning to sing and singing "Pilot" is surging in Shanghai. It is reported that the Jing'an District Cultural Center Veterans Choir, Jiading District Nanxiang Town Hundred Flowers Choir, Embroidery Voice Choir, etc. to rehearse "Pilot", Xuhui District Cultural Center Choir will be held in the "Spring Comes 2022 New Year Chorus Concert" held at the Shangyin Opera House to sing this song. "'Pilot' sings the magnificent century-old history of the party, sings our hearts for the motherland and our deep affection for the party."
