Ma Sicong is a famous Chinese musician, but in the last stage of his life, he spent time in a foreign country, what happened to him? Why is it that this musician, who once said that he wanted to give the most beautiful notes to the motherland, was finally forced to separate from the motherland?
Ma Sicong has shown a super high musical talent since he was a child, he has gone to France to study Western music at the age of 11, and after returning to China, he has made great contributions to the promotion of music in China. At the age of 19, he had already toured the country several times, and later founded the Conservatory of Music in Guangzhou, where he served as the inaugural president and aspired to cultivate musical talents for his country. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Ma Sicong turned his strong love for the motherland into a beautiful note, and created many exciting songs, the most famous of which is "Homesick Song", which expresses the voices of many people, so it is very widely circulated.
During that period, the domestic situation was very turbulent, and Ma Sicong returned to Guangdong with his family for refuge. Having previously been exposed to the violin as an instrument in France, he had the idea of playing traditional Chinese music with the violin, so he set out to prepare his own violin recitals, which have been performed in many major cities. In that era of war, the power of music brought inspiration to many people. At the important meeting of the Chongqing negotiations, the leaders also specially received Ma Sicong and encouraged him to continue to create good music and promote the development of China's music industry.
After the founding of New China, Ma Sicong was invited to participate in the preparation of the New China Ceremony. That period was Ma Sicong's happiest period and the highlight of his life. The society stabilized, and Ma Sicong was appointed as the dean of the Central Conservatory of Music, and with full enthusiasm, he wanted to make a contribution to China's music industry. The Central Conservatory of Music has cultivated a large number of outstanding musical talents and has also come out of many musicians. At the same time, Ma Sicong has also composed many popular songs, and has also served as a judge in many important international music competitions, which shows his prestige in the music industry.
However, during the Cultural Revolution in the 1970s, when cultural elements were particularly severely suppressed, and the slightest connection with Western culture would be criticized, and Ma Sicong was one of them. But he still had no particularly great deal to do with politics, so he thought that things would soon pass, but things were far from simple, and his students began to abandon the study of violin, thinking that it was a product of the bourgeoisie. Some radical students also chased after him and insulted and criticized him, and at the same time, they rushed into Ma Sicong's house, stole everything of value, put up signs, and asked his wife to clean the streets every day, while Ma Sicong had to turn in a reflective ideological report every day.
Ma Sicong's children urged him to go to Hong Kong to hide, but he refused, believing that things would soon pass. But later agreed, after arriving in Hong Kong, originally only planned to rest for a while, did not expect the Hong Kong authorities to urge their family to leave, due to the situation, Ma Sicong took his family to the United States. Unexpectedly, he was labeled a traitor after he left, but only he knew the heartache in it, and he wanted to return to China all the time. But until the last moment of his life, he still failed to do so. What do you think of Ma Sicong's deeds? Feel free to leave a message in the comments section.
