Zhang Wenrui's "Singing Over 30 Years" appreciation
Appreciation of the author / Liang Qianke
Zhang Wenrui is my literary friend and golfer (table tennis) for many years. He has served as a secondary school Chinese teacher, secretary of the mining district party committee, director of the Education Bureau, director of the Bureau of Culture and Tourism, director of the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Bureau, and has retired. After the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival in 2020, Zhang Jun sent me a picture of his essay "30 Years of Song Drifting" that he wrote and published in the newspaper many years ago, because the newspaper has been stored for a long time, the paper is yellow, the handwriting is blurred, and it is difficult to accurately study the whole article. However, the friendship is deep, so it is difficult for them to read it roughly. Without presumptuousness, I will repeat some of the messy thoughts after reading as follows.
First, the content synopsis of "Singing Over 30 Years"
Zhang Jun's article recounts the 30 years of reform and opening up, which is the 30 years that accompanied his generation to maturity. In this historical period, with the continuous deepening of reform and opening up, China's singing world is brilliant and talents are gathered. Singers such as Li Shuangjiang, Jiang Dawei, Hu Songhua, Wu Yanze, Li Guyi, Yu Shuzhen, Zhu Fengbo, Guan Mucun, and other singers have emerged; they have cultivated famous singers such as Mao Amin, Dong Wenhua, Wei Wei, Na Ying, Tian Zhen, Sun Yue, Mao Ning, and Gao Feng; and they have unearthed such singers as Aaron Kwok, Tan Yonglin, Andy Lau, Zhou Huajian, Zheng Zhihua, Luo Dayou, Fei Xiang, and Ye Qianwen, and Taiwan stars, and also trained a large number of songwriters. In this period, the representative works of songs are toasting songs, on the field of hope, velvet flowers, peony songs, where the peach blossoms bloom, I love the snow in the north of you, a fire in winter, the youthful ambition is not worried, the dedication of love, the clouds of the hometown, my Chinese heart, the loess slope, the sound of the waves is still the same, the pearl of the Orient, I wish you peace, great China, small fang, Chinese folk songs, let the world be full of love, meet in 1998.... Time is like water, 30 years have passed, the country has developed rapidly, life has been improving day by day, and the forms of literature and art have become more colorful, but those songs and stars that have been passed down for a long time have been engraved in people's long-term memories.
Second, the author's feelings
(1) The reason why the song is moving is because it can sing people's stories; the reason why the melody is unforgettable is because it can bring people infinite warmth; how powerful is music? Only those who can understand it can truly appreciate the profound. Music can make people calm in the hustle and bustle, can convey the deep torture of the lives of the wise, can express people's feelings about life, can soothe people's wounded hearts, heal the wounds (Tengger once saved his daughter with song), can make people return to youth and find happiness, can call on people's yearning for peace, longing for home, can unite people's confidence in defeating the epidemic, and can transcend national borders, language, and the power of war. In short, life kisses me bitterly, but I sing in return. Music carries people's various feelings, better than a thousand words, boundless power. A few simple notes, arranged and combined by artists, produce "music" whose power is unlimited.
(2) As the saying goes, food and clothing are enough to know the etiquette, and the economic base determines the superstructure. The fundamental reason why China's music scene has flourished and flourished for decades is because through the policy of reform and opening up, leading economic construction to the fast lane of world economic competition has given rise to a good situation in which a hundred flowers bloom, a hundred schools of thought contend, a garden full of spring colors, and a thriving situation has been derived.
(3) Philosophers say that genius is ninety-nine percent sweat plus one percent inspiration, but one percent inspiration is much more important than ninety-nine percent sweat. Therefore, the wise man felt: I advise The Heavenly Father to shake it up and demote talents in an eclectic manner. Qingqing Zizhen, leisurely my heart. But for the sake of the king, groaning to this day. Yo yo deer singing, eating wild apples, I have guests, drums blowing sheng. How important are the talents and talents to the development of all walks of life? In fact, the real singer is not singing, but paying homage to his soul. Therefore, the ancients said that the sword blade came out of the grinding, and the plum blossom fragrance came from the bitter cold.
In short, the song world has flourished for decades The singers are shining brightly, and we must first be grateful for the era of reform and opening up. Secondly, we should be grateful to those behind the scenes of the songwriters, it is their obscure dedication, catalyzing the prosperity of the song world; we also want to thank those artists who are loyal to the cause of singing, it is their talent and sweat that allow us to enjoy such a rich art feast; we must be more grateful to Zhang Jun, who is so attentive, using his spare time to wield his rafters, writing such a magnificent masterpiece "Singing Over 30 Years", so that we can pass through his beautiful and smooth writing. Recall the early days of reform and opening up, recall the artists of that historical period, and those classic songs that purify the heart and urge people to forge ahead.
