Since the outbreak of the new coronavirus pneumonia, the Guangdong police have gone all out to solidly promote the work of fighting the epidemic, preventing risks, ensuring safety, and protecting stability.
On March 3, the public security anti-epidemic theme song "Waiting for You to Blossom in Spring", produced by the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department and produced by the Guangdong Public Security Literary Association, was officially released.
"Waiting for You to Blossom in Spring" is composed by Yuan Guiqiu, secretary general of the Guangdong Public Security Writers Association and vice chairman of the National Public Security Poetry Association, composed by the famous musician Wang Xiaosong, the famous police singer Huang Wei, and the guangzhou border inspection station police officer and famous singer Liao Huan (stage name "Dongshan Young Master") jointly speaking out for love. With a simple and affectionate melody, this song sings the sincere feelings of selfless dedication of the personnel fighting in the frontline of the fight against the epidemic, and pays tribute to countless ordinary heroes who are fighting in the frontline of the fight against the epidemic.

"The more I learn about them, the stronger the emotional resonance with them." When talking about the original intention of the creation, Yuan Guiqiu said. "They" are the white-clad angels and people's policemen that Yuan Guiqiu pays attention to on the frontline of the fight against the epidemic every day. In this season of warm spring, 22 medical staff have been sacrificed, and 49 police auxiliaries have fallen (all data as of February 25)... No one knows how many blanks are left at the bottom of this list waiting for life to fill in. All this deeply stung Yuan Guiqiu, who was also a policeman.
"Why can we hide from the epidemic in a comfortable environment and wait for the spring to bloom, and they can only fall one by one on this coldest and longest night." Just in our Guangdong police force, in less than half a month, 5 comrades-in-arms died, among which Zeng Wencong, an auxiliary police officer of Qingyuan Yingde, died suddenly in his duty post after a month of continuous work, he was only 26 years old... There are also those angels in white clothes--in fact, where there are angels, but a group of children, learning from the appearance of their predecessors, putting on white robes and rushing up..." This call from the blood made Yuan Zhenqiu feel deep compassion and uneasiness.
Until one day, Yuan Guiqiu saw a peach tree in his yard that had been sick for a whole year suddenly blossom, although there were only one or two flowers on the branches, but the buds that lurked with the vitality of the flowers really frightened Yuan Zhenqiu. "This peach tree has been sick since it was bought from the flower market the year before, covered with white frost, no matter how I sprayed and watered, I could only let it fend for itself, I did not expect that in this severe spring of the epidemic, it miraculously blossomed." At that moment, Yuan Zhenqiu was full of sorrow and joy, "We finally waited for the spring to blossom, but they could never see it..."

This special battle has brought together two groups of angels dressed in white and people's police who have saved lives in different fields. "Among my colleagues and friends is the 'police guard' family of police officers and doctors, who went to the battlefield after the outbreak. At present, at the forefront of the war against the 'epidemic', the most infected by the virus are the police, in addition to medical personnel. In my opinion, in this coldest spring, white and deep blue are the hottest colors that illuminate people's hearts. Under this emotional wrapping, one day at noon, Yuan Zhenqiu was doing housework, "You leave in the winter, only for the earth to leave a piece of white, you fall in the spring, only for the sky to leave a touch of deep blue" These two lyrics suddenly popped out of her mind, she immediately dried her hands, picked up a pen and completed the creation.
"In fact, at first I didn't think of writing lyrics, but when the mood reached that point, I naturally poured out and vented, as if a stone had finally been put down in my heart." Yuan Guiqiu told reporters that after posting the work to the WeChat "circle of friends", her mentor, Mr. Zhu Hai, a famous planner, poet and lyricist, left a message commenting: "Good words, hurry up and compose music." "That's the story behind.

"I and the singers Huang Wei and Liao Huan are veteran members of the 'Public Security Culture Grassroots Walk' literary and art detachment of the Ministry of Public Security for many times, and the call of the times condenses our common cultural mission and responsibility, and under the meticulous polishing and production of composer Wang Xiaosong, and more importantly, under the great attention and direct promotion of the political department of the provincial public security department, the news center of the department and the Leaders of the Guangdong Public Security Literary Federation, this song can meet with you today." When it comes to the songwriting process, Yuan Zhenqiu exudes a kind of natural nature. However, the warmth and suffering behind this is little known.

"This is our faith, the more cold the winter wind and snow, the more we can see your unstoppable light", the thick and affectionate lyrics with the concise and bright pop composition style, making this song have a wonderful chemical reaction. "I want the feeling of 'meeting affection in plain simplicity'. In the fight against the epidemic, there are so many people who are carrying the weight for us, they are the father and mother of which child, and which old man's son and daughter. They are the most ordinary people, acting out extraordinary stories. Yuan Guiqiu said, "In the large-scale music scene narrative report organized by the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department - 'Footprints of public security for the people', I have cooperated with teacher Wang Xiaosong many times. Teacher Wang Xiaosong handled this emotional style very well, and after hearing that we wanted to write this song, he expressed his willingness to compose music for us free of charge, which deeply encouraged and moved us. ”
"Since the outbreak of the epidemic, 49 police auxiliary personnel across the country have sacrificed their precious lives, which makes us deeply sad. In some families, where the husband is a policeman and the wife is a medical worker, both of them receive the task at the same time, and they can only entrust their children to the parents at home, while they themselves shoulder heavy responsibilities. Seeing these shots, I couldn't help but burst into tears, just when Yuan Zhenqiu came to me and said that she wanted to write a song for the sacrificed police and medical staff, and I did not hesitate to agree to compose the music. When I finished reading the lyrics, I was already in tears. She used simple and sincere language to express her praise for the retrogrades in the fight against the epidemic and the remembrance of the sacrificial warriors. Scene after scene flashed in my mind, the various emotions in my heart were intertwined, and my creative inspiration continued to emerge. The creation of this piece took only half an hour from start to finish, almost in one go. At the symposium, Wang Xiaosong recalled the creative process, and his excitement was overflowing.

The female singer who sang this song "Waiting for You to Blossom in Spring" is Huang Wei, a police officer of the Wuhan Municipal Public Security Bureau and a famous police camp singer. The reporter learned that as a police officer fighting in the key areas of the epidemic area, she has not had a day off since the outbreak of the epidemic. Every morning before 7 a.m., she and her husband had to go out to work and come home at 8 p.m. Huang Wei's husband, a judge, was sent to work in the community and had to wear protective clothing to work every day, which was very hard. Every day back at home, the couple also disinfects each other. Under such torment, Huang Wei gritted her teeth and took over this singing task. Wuhan closed all recording studios, and Huang Wei could only record at home with her mobile phone. At first, she was recording in the cloakroom, but there was still noise, and then the couple tossed and turned all night, removing the clutter from the long-abandoned utility room little by little and stuffing Huang Wei into it. In such an environment, Huang Wei sang and recorded sentence by sentence... At that time, her comrades-in-arms had fallen ill more than 200 times because of the virus... As a professional singer, she poured out the tenacious persistence of a public security policeman during this extraordinary period.
"I was really surprised to be able to sing this song with Sister Wei in this way." At the scene of the symposium, Liao Huan, a male singer who sang the song and a police officer at the Guangzhou Border Inspection Station, used the word "surprise" to describe the cooperation with Huang Wei. "Sister Wei's singing ability is beyond doubt, but this time, I didn't expect that she completed this song under almost impossible conditions, and the effect was still so good." Sister Wei is in a serious epidemic area, what she sees, hears, and feels is completely incomprehensible to us, and it is also the most real and profound, so she can interpret the emotions that this song wants to express to the fullest. Here, I would like to send my heartfelt wishes to the public security police and medical personnel on duty. Protect yourself and we'll wait for you to blossom in the spring! ”
"No matter how ordinary everyone is, there is light in their hearts. When the glimmer in all of our hearts is condensed and magnified at the same time, it becomes our common belief, as the song says, "The more cold the winter, the more you can see your unstoppable light." At the end of the interview, Yuan Guiqiu talked to reporters about what he most wanted to do after the end of the epidemic, "After the epidemic is over, I want to take time to go back to my hometown in Sichuan to see my mother at home and then to see the fields in my hometown." Now the pace of urban life is too fast, nature's 'invisible hand' pressed the pause button for us, maybe this is also a kind of adjustment, then wait for spring to blossom! ”
