Ji Ming is a famous composer of The Film Studio, and the "Song of the Phoenix" episode "Why the Phoenix in the Mountains Doesn't Fly" starring Zhang Ruifang, the "Return of the Swallow" episode "The Return of the Swallow" starring Da Shichang and Gao Ying, "Welcome to Your Distant Guests", and the theme song of "Hero Little Eight Road" "We are the successors of communism" are all from her, which was also determined to be the song of the Young Pioneers of China.
Wu Yazhen, a native of Huai'an, Jiangsu Province, was born in Suzhou in June 1917. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, she went to Yan'an and was known as "the first female pianist in Yan'an". She joined the Party in 1942 and changed her name to Sending Ming to express her belief in "pinning hopes on tomorrow".
At the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, Ji Ming became a member of the rebel faction of Tianma Factory (then known as Dongfanghong Factory), and together with Huang Shuqin, posted a large-character poster entitled "Exposing and Criticizing the Revisionist Road of Ding Yi (Party Secretary of Tianma Factory)". At that time, the average age of the rebels in Tianma Factory was 28 years old, Huang Shuqin was 27 years old, Da Shichang was 26 years old, Yang Zaibao was only the year of standing, and Ji Ming was already more than half a hundred years old, not to mention that she was an old party member in the Yan'an period, so it was a bit puzzling that she was among them.
What is even more unexpected is that a talented girl, a well-known music composer, in the mid-1980s, actually suffered from Alzheimer's disease, completely lost the ability to take care of herself, and relied on her wife Qu Wei (one of the authors of the opera "The White-Haired Girl") for a full 10 years, and finally died on January 13, 1997, at the age of 80.
