The song "The Sound of the Waves" is inspired by the Tang poem "Fengqiao Night Berth". The text of "Jiang Feng Fishing Fire to Sleep" made the lyricist Chen Xiaoqi think endlessly.
The song reflects the survival mentality of the cultural people of that era in the gap between traditional culture and modern culture, so there is a lament of "can this old ticket board your passenger ship".
The melody of the song is beautiful and profound, and the connotation of "Maple Bridge Night Berth" is perfectly integrated into the modern tone and feelings.
"Take away a fishing fire, let it warm my eyes, leave a piece of truth, let it anchor by the Maple Bridge..." This is the lyrics, and it is also a modern poem with a considerable creative standard.
"The Sound of the Waves" represents the highest level of the Guangdong pop music scene in the 90s, and Mao Ning's interpretation is undoubtedly the most in line with the mood of the song.
This is not a love song, but the appearance of popular music cannot be without a heroine.
On the evening of spring 93, a classical girl with a very Republican style wandered in Mao Ning's arms, and the elegant accompaniment dance added a lot to this song.
After the Spring Festival Gala, many people (of course, men) asked in various ways who was the girl who accompanied the dance? The subtitles of the Spring Festival Gala that year were only written: Accompanying Dance Nanjing Frontline Literary and Labor Troupe.
The Nanjing Frontline Cultural and Labor Corps has been abolished, and "Old Geng Miscellaneous Talks" still asked about the situation through relevant people. The girl's name was Li Chunyan, and she was a dancer in the Nanjing Frontline Cultural and Labor Troupe. She is a good friend of Mei Ting, and Mei Ting used to be in the frontline literary and labor troupe.
Mao Ning praised Li Chunyan's accompaniment dance, saying that Li Chunyan was not only beautiful, but also danced particularly well.
Shortly after the End of the Spring Festival Gala, for various reasons, Mao Ning and Li Chunyan broke off contact. In 2003, when Mao Ning was interviewed, he also asked the reporter to help him find Li Chunyan's contact information, and it can be seen that Mao Ning has always been obsessed with Li Chunyan, "You must have kept that smiling face for a long time, and whether you can accept each other's changes after many years."
Mao Ning and Li Chunyan later reunited twice, both on variety shows. It has been more than ten years after the Spring Festival Gala cooperation.
In 2018, the Nanjing Frontline Cultural and Labor Troupe was abolished, before that, Li Chunyan was already the leader of the Nanjing Frontline Cultural and Labor Troupe, and Li Chunyan also retired from active duty and became a full-time dance director, rehearsing award-winning works such as the ballet "Expedition", the stage play "Reconnaissance of Crossing the River", "The Night Before Dawn" and so on.
Time flies, more than twenty years have passed, and only the beautiful face in front of Li Chunyan's lens has not changed.
