Man is a social creature, the survival and development of the individual, will inevitably be affected by the era in which he lives, man can not be separated from his own era and left the world independent, the same era of human group members, both liver and gallbladder mutual support, but also ruthless struggle to put to death.
Every grain of dust of the times, falling on an individual, is a mountain. In an era of black and white, some people choose to go with the flow and become accomplices of others.
And for a righteous and kind person, he is not willing to become ordinary, even more unwilling to help and abett, become an accomplice, the only way he can choose is to flee, flee from his hometown, flee from his relatives and friends, and escape from false accusations and persecution.
But in the depths of these people's hearts, they always remember their origins, even if they have been separated for decades, whenever they dream back in the middle of the night, what they want to be close to most is still the homeland where the soul is haunted.
Ma Sicong is a world-renowned musician, this artist who is addicted to artistic creation and has no quarrel with the world, in an era that cannot be looked back, has gone far away from home, but his heart, how has it ever left?
A hundred years later, the leaves fell back to their roots, and his soul was finally able to return to the motherland. The water of the Yangtze River has flowed for thousands of years, witnessing too many sorrows and joys, and also witnessing too many absurdities of history.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > musical genius who became famous as a teenager</h1>
Chen Jiongming is a prominent figure in China's modern history, he had a teenage playmate named Ma Yuhang, who later became the finance minister of Guangdong Province.
The solid family foundation allowed Ma Yuhang to raise nine children, and among these nine children, the most prominent should be regarded as his fifth son, Ma Sicong.
Ma Sicong has developed a strong interest in music since childhood, which of course benefits from the local theatrical music unique to Guangdong Hailufeng, Ma Sicong grew up listening to these music, for music, he showed great talent, he wants to become a musician.
In 1923, Ma Sicong got a good opportunity to study the art of music, and this year, he followed his eldest brother to France to study music.
France is a romantic place where artists gather world-renowned musicians, and here Ma Sicong studied at the Conservatoire de Nancy and the Conservatoire de Paris.
In 1929, Ma Sicong's family changed, and Ma Sicong returned to China. He performed music in Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Shanghai and other places, with his high musical talent and professional music learning, he was very successful in music performance, and Ma Sicong, who was only 17 years old, was known as a "musical prodigy".
In 1931, Ma Sicong, who had received official funding from Guangdong Province, returned to France to continue his studies in the field of music. After returning to China, Ma Sicong became the dean of China's first private conservatory, engaging in music creation while performing all over the country.
Since then, whether on the date of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression or during the Liberation War, Ma Sicong has never given up his music career and frequently insisted on music performance and creation.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Ma Sicong served as the first president of the Central Conservatory of Music. Since then, Ma Sicong, while adhering to his own musical path, has also cultivated a number of musical talents for New China.
For example, his disciple Liu Shikun once won second place in an international music competition held in Moscow, and at this time, Ma Sicong was also one of the judges of the competition.
In terms of music creation, Ma Sicong also achieved remarkable results, and the children's songs created by him and Guo Moruo were designated by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League as "China Young Pioneers Team Song", when hundreds of millions of children in China grew up singing this song.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the rain is coming, innocently victimized</h1>
In an era of frequent mistakes, an era of chaos began, and in 1966, the movement arose.
In the beginning, many of Ma Sicong's students listened to others and stopped learning music from Ma Sicong for a very far-fetched reason: learning the violin was obsessed with bourgeois ideas and bourgeois lifestyles.
The situation deteriorated further, and the cow ghost snake god began to attack Ma Sicong, and in the shouts of the "progressive" students, Ma Sicong was knocked down, he was defined as a vampire, and was forced to study the big character newspaper.
The gangsters brutally persecuted the world-renowned musician, they put on a high hat, let him parade the streets every day, and insulted him mercilessly, even punching and kicking.
They also held a knife against Ma Sicong and asked him to be honest. But what do you mean by that? The gangsters themselves did not understand.
In those chaotic times, whether you were a god or a dog did not depend on how moral and intellectual you were, but on whether you showed enough loyalty.
In that era, countless tragic cases were caused, and Mr. Lao She, a famous literary artist, could not bear this insult and eventually sank himself to the bottom of the lake.
The devastation suffered by Ma Sicong is indistinguishable from that of Lao She. Whether to flee or accept the more painful facts is the most urgent choice in front of Ma Sicong.
< H1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > forced to flee overseas</h1>
Compared to what happened to other victims, Ma Sicong was lucky because he had a shrewd daughter. At first, Ma Sicong did not agree to flee the country.
After all, this is the land where hundreds of millions of people were born and raised, and as a Chinese, why should we leave our homeland? But the situation became more and more chaotic, and under the white lies of his daughter, Ma Sicong decided to temporarily leave the place of criticism and change to another place to heal.
Under the pretext of his recurrence of liver disease, Ma Sicong was allowed to take a leave of absence and boarded the boat that his daughter had already arranged. Ma Sicong's family, through Hong Kong, with the help of relatives who have settled in the United States, were finally able to escape the cage and come to the United States.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > 47 years apart, homesick people cut off their intestines</h1>
Ma Sicong's original intention was to stay in the United States for a few years and return to the embrace of the motherland after the domestic situation stabilized. But the day did not go according to people's wishes, the domestic movement intensified, and darker things continued to happen.
Even after the end of the movement, Ma Sicong was still a guilty body, and it was not until 1985 that Ma Sicong was rehabilitated. Only then did he learn that his crime was to defect to the enemy and commit treason.
If you want to add to your sins, there is no excuse for it. It turned out that he was overthrown on trumped-up charges, forced to flee, and then convicted in the name of fleeing the motherland.
He couldn't help but sigh: I really couldn't imagine that a scholar, a person with a lot of notes in his head, would get such a "remarkable" title!
Ma Sicong, who is in the United States, continues his music career, where there are Chinese, there is his performance figure, and his famous work "Homesick Song" has brought warm psychological comfort to countless Chinese in the United States.
During this time, he constantly emphasized the fact that I was not sorry for the motherland. In 1987, Ma Sicong died of illness and was buried in a foreign land.
It was not until 2007 that his ashes were returned to China for burial. If the great musician Izumi knew, would he stop playing his Homesick Song?
