A "Yellow River Chorus" sounded on the side of the Yellow River, accompanied by the rolling Yellow River, and the singers sang sonorously and powerfully throughout the Yellow River Basin.
The location is special, the song is also specific, this song is the famous mainland musician Xian Xinghai tailor-made for the Yellow River repertoire, but also for the Anti-Japanese Chorus that cheered for the War of Resistance Against Japan at that time.
It is precisely because of this repertoire that Mr. Xian Xinghai is known as the "People's Musician".
Of course, in addition to the "Yellow River Chorus", Xian Xinghai also created a series of revolutionary music such as "Song of the National Salvation Army", "Only Afraid of Not Resisting", "Guerrilla Army Song", "Going to the Rear of the Enemy", "On the Taihang Mountain" and so on.
But such an excellent musician, because of illness, died early in a foreign country at the age of 40, at that time, Xian Xinghai's daughter was only 7 years old, and he and his daughter did not even see the last side.
Musician Xian Xinghai
Sin Haixing, born in a poor fisherman's family, his father went out to sea to fish in order to support his family, but this time he did not come back.
The sea engulfed Xian Xinghai,a father he had never met once, because at that time, he was still in his mother's belly.
In order to support her children, the mother can only bring the small meat of Xian Xinghai to Malaysia where she can make money, the mother and son are dependent on each other, and the mother relies on odd jobs to maintain the family, but despite this, the mother still bites her teeth to provide Sin Xinghai with education.
In the process of reading, Xian Xinghai was fortunate to be exposed to music and musical instruments, and reflected a different talent from ordinary people, for the children's hobbies, her mother also supported Xian Xinghai to learn music as always.
Xian Xinghai also lived up to expectations, participated in various music competitions, won different levels of music awards, in the process of music growth, there is always a voice calling him, his motherland - China.
So he and his mother returned to the embrace of his homeland, and Xian Xinghai also began to systematically study music knowledge, and later entered the Paris Conservatory with honors in the early 1930s.
It is worth noting that Xian Xinghai was the only Chinese student in nearly 20 years during that period, and Xian Xinghai's results far exceeded those of candidates from other countries.
When Xian Xinghai returned from school and planned to develop China's music industry, Chinese people were fighting back and trying to resist Japan.
In such an era of life and death, patriotic young Xian Xinghai began to exert his ability to inspire Chinese people with music and express his patriotism with music.
Therefore, in this process, Xian Xinghai created many of the famous anti-Japanese revolutionary songs mentioned above, and he is worth remembering by everyone.
Untimely death
Excellent people and excellent people will always feel sorry for each other, Xian Xinghai met his own love in the process of resisting Japan, that person is Qian Yunling, who is also a Chinese underground party member who is committed to the anti-Japanese revolution.
Two excellent revolutionary fighters fell in love in that war-torn era, although the environment was difficult, and if they were not careful, they would encounter danger to their lives, but the lives of the two young people also tried to live happily.
In that era, as long as there was faith in the heart, everything was happy, and soon, two people had the crystallization of happiness.
In 1939, his wife Qian Yunling gave birth to a lovely daughter in Yan'an, xian Xinghai named her daughter Sin Nina.
A musical family of three lives a plain and happy life with a desire for China's victory.
But when the time came to May 1940, the family of three was facing separation, and this separation, no one thought that heaven and man would be separated forever.
As a well-known Chinese musician, Xian Xinghai was invited by the Soviet Union to score large-scale documentaries produced by the Soviet Union.
In a foreign country, the water and soil are not satisfied, and because of the superposition of various conditions such as long-term fatigue of music work, Xian Xinghai's body collapsed, and the lung disease worsened sharply.
Finally, on that day in October 1945, Xian Xinghai, who was only 40 years old, closed his eyes forever in Moscow in the Soviet Union, and the moment he closed his eyes, he wanted to see the faces of his wife and daughter, but his wife and daughter were separated from him by a hundred and eighteen thousand miles.
The daughter fulfills her father's last wishes
When Xian Xinghai died, her daughter Xian Nina was only seven years old, but her impression of her father was still at the age of two, which was very vague.
Fortunately, her father's deeds were widely circulated, and her mother often told her father's stories, and she could often see his photos and hear his music.
The father seems to be gone, but not completely gone, but accompanies Xian Nina in another way, and Xian Nina also begins to be interested in music under the subtle influence.
But when she really began to learn music systematically, she changed her mind, not because she didn't love her father, but because China needed other talents.
Xian Nina, who grew up, like her father Xian Xinghai, has a patriotic heart, looking at China, which is in urgent need of scientific and technological development, she decided to grow into a talent that China needs more, and she also knows that her father will definitely respect and understand her decision.
In this way, Sin Nina went to the road of science and engineering to serve the country, and parted ways with her father's musical path.
In the process of study and work, Xian Nina always takes her father as her own example, conscientiously completes the tasks at each stage, strives to inherit her father's spirit, and resolutely does not disgrace her father.
Soon, Sin Nina became a person who shone like her father in another field, illuminating others.
But his father's last wishes cannot be ignored, "The Yellow River Chorus" is a chinese musical treasure and the highest artistic achievement of his father Xian Xinghai.
The general score of "Yellow River Chorus" was compiled by my father in Moscow, because of the long time and the distance, so that many of the scores in the total score could not be sorted out and modified.
In order to complete her father's final work, Sinina, who did not know musical score, began to learn from the most basic music knowledge and began to re-walk the musical path that was not taken at that time.
The father's last work, completed by his own daughter, this meaning is irreplaceable, after 8 years of days and nights, and finally Xian Nina grew from a music white to a master of music.
With the musical knowledge he learned in eight years, he began to sort out his father's posthumous works, and finally completed the general score of "Yellow River Chorus".
Xian Xinghai's highest achievement also appeared in the public's vision, and when the music of "Yellow River Chorus" sounded, that bloody period once again inspired people's hearts.
This is the magic of Xian Xinghai's music, inspiring and inspiring patriots to fight for the victory of the motherland, and in 8 years, it has witnessed Xian Nina's determination and also witnessed Xian Nina's love for her father Xian Xinghai.
Proofreading over and over again, sorting over and over again, is slowly combing through their nostalgia for their father, family affection and love for the motherland, in the completion of the "Yellow River Chorus" score, fused together.
