Since the issuance of the Red Heirloom Collection Order, many active contributions from members of the public and students have poured into the collection page. Some recall the elders' road of resistance, some take us back to the passionate years of reform and opening up, and some record the warm feelings of generations through small prices. From now on, the Southern Metropolis Daily has set up a special column of "Red Heirloom" to share the red heirloom stories of citizens and convey the energy of love.
Today, let's walk into the red heirloom story of Jiang Kairu, the lyricist of "The Story of Spring".
Heirloom Archives:
"Old Object" Name: A glass certificate
One sentence introduction: "The Story of Spring" and "Into a New Era" were selected for the Chang'e-1 lunar exploration satellite to play the tracks, and the certificate was specially issued, and the melody of reform and opening up followed the Chang'e-1 lunar exploration satellite to haunt the stars.
The treasure bearer said: I am just a recorder, using lyrics to record the people's happier and happier lives since the reform and opening up, and these are all created by the party and the state leading the people after years of struggle. In the future, I will also leave the certificate as an heirloom to my children and grandchildren, so that more children can find emotional resonance in these "relics", thank the party and the country, work hard in their posts, and become useful people to society.
"Mythical rise of the city, miraculous gathering of the golden mountain..." This is a lyric from the song "The Story of Spring", describing the rapid changes in the city after the reform and opening up, which has been widely sung for many years, and has also allowed the lyricist Jiang Kairu to enter the public's vision. In addition, he has successively created popular songs such as "Into a New Era" and "Chinese Dream", and has won many awards. In 2020, he was awarded the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone as an innovative and entrepreneurial figure and an advanced model figure.
In Jiang Kairu's "heirloom", a blue glass certificate is particularly eye-catching. This was sent by the Lunar Exploration Engineering Center of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense in 2006, informing him that the songs "The Story of Spring" and "Into a New Era" were selected for the Chang'e-1 lunar exploration satellite. Recalling his feelings when he received the certificate, he was full of emotions, "I am just a recorder, inspired by the happy life created by the party and the state leading the people to struggle." He said that in the future, he will also leave the certificate as an heirloom to the future generations, and encourage future generations to be grateful for the hard-won happy life and contribute to the development of the motherland.
In the past sixties, he has been deeply engaged in entrepreneurship, and the spirit of the special zone has inspired creation
The needle of time is turned back to 1992, 57-year-old Jiang Kairu has achieved fame in his hometown county and can retire to enjoy a comfortable old age. However, earlier, he saw a report called "Dongfeng Spring Comes full of spring" and learned that Shenzhen has undergone earth-shaking changes, which aroused his enthusiasm for starting a business again.
In December of the same year, Jiang Kairu sent the lyrics of "The Story of Spring" to the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone Daily. On March 7 of the following year, he saw his lyrics published in the newspaper. "Shenzhen's culture is inclusive, I am an ordinary citizen, my articles can be published, the voices of the citizens can be transmitted, I am really moved."
Subsequently, he took the newspaper to find his friend Wang Yougui, gave him the lyrics to compose, and in May 1994, he submitted an article to participate in the Guangdong Youth Songwriting Competition. At the beginning of July, the results of the competition were released, and "The Story of Spring" won the gold medal and ushered in the highlights since then: winning the gold medal of the second CCTV Music and Television Competition, the sixth Five One Project Award of the Central Propaganda Department in 1995, appearing on the Spring Festival Gala in 1997, and performing at the conference celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The Shenzhen concept and the Spirit of Shenzhen have always inspired Jiang Kairu's creation. Later, he created songs such as "Into the New Era", "Good Luck in China", "Shenzhen is My Home" and so on, "We tell the story of spring, reform and opening up and getting rich" wrote the people's gratitude for a better life. He believes that Shenzhen is always "spring", bringing a steady stream of creativity, "Shenzhen's concept is new, at that time I was running to this new concept to start a business, rooted in Shenzhen for nearly 20 years, watching the city more and more prosperous, the people's living standards are getting higher and higher, I feel very happy." ”
Treasure the "Heavenly" certificate of works and encourage future generations to "land on the ground" and struggle
"Mr. Jiang Kairu, the songs you created, "The Story of Spring" and "Into a New Era," were selected for the Chang'e-1 lunar exploration satellite and will be played at the right time during the moon orbit of the satellite..." In 2006, he received a blue glass certificate from the Lunar Exploration Engineering Center of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and learned that his work was about to "go to heaven."
In addition to excitement, it is more of gratitude. He said that he was just a recorder, recording the people's happier and happier life since the reform and opening up with lyrics like a diary, and these were all created by the party and the state leading the people through years of solid struggle. "Thank you to the state for acknowledging these records I have made! I am 86 years old this year, from the past war years to today's peace years, watching the motherland become stronger and stronger, the people's lives are getting better and better, and I feel particularly deeply. ”
Today (July 1) marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. He got up early and wrote three poems to remember the centuries-old struggle. "Stand up, get rich, get strong, be beautiful, we will not fall into the united states..." He expressed his blessings and gratitude to the motherland. He said that in the future, he will continue to create and record the development of the times with his own works.
Gratitude to the party, the country, and the times is not only reflected in the works, but also in the education of children and grandchildren. "I often tell my sons and granddaughters that no matter what kind of work they do, they must know the strength of the motherland, be grateful for the warmth brought to us by the motherland, and contribute to the development of the motherland." He said that in the future, it is also necessary to leave the family certificate as an heirloom to the children and grandchildren, so that more children can find emotional resonance in these "relics", be grateful to the party and the country, and "land" on their posts to work hard and become useful to society.
