This song should only be in heaven, and people can smell it a few times. With his baton, Seiji Ozawa conducted one song after another, and the famous Japanese conductor, who enjoyed international fame, had a constant love affair with this part of China.

Born in Shenyang, northeast China, Ozawa's name is also quite lamentable, "Zheng" is itagaki Seishiro's "Zheng", "Er" is Ishihara Guan'er's "Er", these two are heinous officers. His father gave him such a name, which was also deeply influenced by the social environment at that time. His father came to this hot black land, however, this complicated emotion did not affect Ozawa Seiji, and his childhood was very simple and happy.
In the summer, he listened to the cicadas in the small courtyard, in the autumn, he picked up the golden leaves, and in the winter, wrapped in silver, he brewed musical thoughts in the snow-white world.
China is a beautiful presence for Seiji Ozawa, where he spent his carefree childhood and received his first musical enlightenment. His mother, a woman with great musical talent, taught him to sing at an early age, which laid the foundation for Ozawa to embark on a conducting path in the future.
In 1945, japan was defeated, and Ozawa's father returned to Tokyo with his family. After returning to Japan, the Ozawa family's life was in a dilemma, the economy was depressed, and the unemployment rate soared, making the family's life extremely poor. Fortunately, his father was very supportive of his son's hobbies, did his best to buy a piano for Ozawa, and went to great lengths to let his son study under the famous pianist.
Years of war have exhausted Ozawa Kaisaku's energy and the most beautiful years, and he hopes that his son can happily chase after his dreams and not be burdened by the outside world. Ozawa lived up to his father's expectations and became a world-class conductor with great talent and hard work.

For various reasons, Ozawa was unable to return to China for a long time after leaving China as a child, and his longing for China deepened. Finally, in 1976, after many years of absence, Seiji Ozawa returned to China, a land that carries his infinite memories, and by this time he had already taken the podium of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
However, this visit to China did not realize Ozawa Seiji's desire to perform in China, and since then he has made up his mind to hold a performance in China and bring Chinese music to the world.
In 1978, the situation between China and Japan was very good, and Ozawa Seiji came to China again, this time with the joy of realizing his dream, and cooperated with the Central Orchestra to perform Ah Bing's famous work "Erhu Yingyue". The day after the performance, Ozawa heard the original erhu's "Erhu Yingyue" and couldn't help but leave tears, the melody of the music, and the desolate sadness deeply touched every inch of his soul. He fell to his knees and paid tribute to China's vast and profound musical art.
During this visit to China, Ozawa revisited his former residence with a portrait of his father. Time is hurried, and when he returns to China, he is already a middle-aged man with two white sideburns. Walking on the streets of Beijing and admiring the familiar architectural ensemble of the courtyard, he felt extremely solid inside. It can be said that China is his "second hometown", and his fate with China is constantly abandoned no matter what.

The biggest influence on Ozawa's musical path was the time when he lived in China as a child, and the second was the enlightenment of his mother. When his mother died in 2000, Ozawa brought some of his mother's ashes back to China and scattered them in his childhood home, Courtyard 69 xinkai Hutong.
He vaguely remembered the happy times he spent with his mother in his youth, which he could not forget in his life. This moment is like a falling leaf returning to the roots, no matter how far the wanderer who is outside, he feels extremely solid when he has a home in his heart.
The tree in the courtyard still stands here, the sapling that my mother and he planted by hand, and now it has grown into a towering tree that can provide shade and shelter from the wind and rain. "There are trees in the garden, planted by my mother's hand, and now the pavilion is like a pavilion." The mother's ashes nourished this old tree, and the hot soil of China comforted the mother's spirit in heaven.
In the days that followed, Ozawa came to China many times, seven times in his life, each time with a different harvest. Later, as he promised, he spread Chinese music to all parts of the world, making traditional Chinese folk music a bright pearl in the music circle dominated by Western symphony.

In his later years, Ozawa's health deteriorated, and he was tormented by illness all the time, but his strong will allowed him to win the battle against the disease again and again. He suffered from pneumonia in 2006, esophageal cancer in 2010, and then suffered from heart disease, and a compressive fracture of the lumbar spine.
During that time, he was soaked in the medicine jar and transformed into a body made of antibiotics, but despite this, Ozawa would be refreshed as soon as he stood on the stage. His character and passion for conducting do not diminish with the passage of time, and in 2016, at the age of 81, he won the Grammy Award, the highest honor in the American music industry.
In the interview with the camera, Ozawa unreservedly expressed his love for China. In many interviews, "China" has always been an unavoidable topic. He told reporters that he was a man without a political stance, that the fighting rhetoric of others had nothing to do with him, that he only knew that his whole life would be dedicated to music, that he loved China, that he loved Chinese music and art, and that in his heart, China and Japan had never 'cooled down'. Focusing on music, being independent of politics, and sticking to his heart are Ozawa's admirable life creeds.
Because of physical reasons, Ozawa has gradually faded from the public eye in recent years, but his three words of advice to young people are deafening, even beyond the field of music, and apply to all young people who are struggling for their dreams. First, make sure you have time to study. Second, in the work you are facing, you must choose the job that is most suitable for you. Third, always work with great musicians. Ozawa has always retained the habit of reading and learning, even if the time is tight, he will take time to read, which is the secret of his eternal vitality and quick thinking.
At the 2005 Vienna Concert, Jean used a Chinese "Happy New Year" to express New Year's wishes to the world. Because of this move, he was publicly accused and attacked by The Japanese right-wingers, and was saddled with some false accusations. Yet Ozawa still did not compromise with these political radicals, he belonged to himself, to music, not to any political chip or victim. This is the great contribution made by the master music conductor Ozawa Seiji, who has made great contributions to the friendly exchanges between China and Japan.
