On December 13, 2020, a music flash event was staged in the Green Axis Square of Huangpu Science City in Guangzhou, and Wang Chenrui, the runner-up of the 2016 "China New Song", and Liu Gang, a national first-class actor, sang "To Huangpu" together. On that day, more than 1,000 people participated in a unique music pop-up event.
"Walking into Huangpu and seeing the ancient port, the boats are busy day and night; the genes of the Sea Silk are spread, and the opening of the millennium chapter is written...", the moving melody and dynamic surging song sang the Huangpu, using music to speak for the city, which is the strongest sound to spread the story of Huangpu.
Lead singer Wang Chenrui said, "This song is rich in emotion, giving people the feeling of being as passionate and energetic as Whampoa. "She also had a deeper impression of Whampoa." Liu Gang, who is also the lead singer, also expressed his excitement: "I have been in Guangzhou for 20 years, and I often perform in Huangpu, and every time I go to Huangpu, I can feel her changes with my own eyes." Every lyric and melody of this song depicts exactly what I saw in Whampoa. ”
Composer Li Haiying, an authentic Huangpu native, said: "I grew up on Cheung Chau Island, and Whampoa was the place where I grew up, which made a deep impression on me. Huangpu has developed and changed tremendously, and has achieved fruitful results in many fields such as science and technology, culture, etc., especially in terms of high technology. As an old Whampoa person, I feel a sense of heroism. ”
As a new Huangpu person, the author has worked and lived in Huangpu for nearly 13 years, and his feelings for Huangpu are no less than his hometown. Huangpu District's famous cultural and historical sites such as the Nanhai Temple, Huangpu Military Academy, Huangpu Ancient Port, Yuyan Academy, etc., have deeply influenced generations of new Guangzhou people.
It is reported that at the end of this month, Huangpu District will launch the "To Huangpu" song MV, and promote it online and offline throughout the network, debuting on domestic mainstream music platforms such as NetEase Cloud Music, QQ Music, and Kugou Music, as well as major media platforms. At that time, you can not only hear Wang Chenrui's long-lost singing, but also through the song "To Huangpu", you can better understand Guangzhou and understand Huangpu.
