Qilu Evening News Qilu One Point reporter Kong Xin photographed Qiu Zhiqiang Meilin brother: Before the box cloud to Changsha certification documents, please a box, use the name of "Tian Shouchang", before three o'clock in the afternoon, please send to the brother, and please do not send others for the time being, do not ask Ri'an. This is a letter written to Merlin on April 26, 1937 by the famous playwright, film screenwriter, novelist, and lyricist Tian Han. The "Tian Shouchang" mentioned in the letter is Tian Han's real name. After the establishment of the All-China Literary and Art Circles Anti-Enemy Association in 1938, he served as a full-time secretary, and many of the specific transactional work of the association was completed by him. Tian Han was one of the main organizers and participants of the association at that time. On March 27, 1938, at the time of the survival of the Chinese nation, literary and artistic figures from all over the country gathered in Wuhan, and under the organization of Zhou Enlai and Guo Moruo, the All-China Literary and Art Circles Anti-Enemy Association was established. Tian Han, along with Guo Moruo, Mao Dun, Xia Yan, Ding Ling, Lao She, Ba Jin, Zhu Ziqing, Yu Dafu and 45 others, was elected as a director. Since then, these famous writers and playwrights have used the paper and pen in their hands as the guns of the frontline soldiers, "so that literature and art, a strong weapon, shoulder the responsibility it should shoulder." In fact, before that, Tian Han had already participated in the organization of many cultural circles of the anti-Japanese united front work. In 1932, after tian Han joined the Communist Party of China, he participated in the party's leadership of literature and art, and xia Yan and others broke into the film position, wrote progressive film and literary scripts such as "Three Modern Women" and "Youth March", and also created interludes for many films. One of the most well-known works is the interlude "March of the Volunteer Army" of the movie "Children of the Storm", which later became the national anthem of our country and was sung from generation to generation, inspiring generations of Chinese sons and daughters. This song was completed by Tian Han and Nie Er, the "golden partner". In 1932, Tian Han, who was already a famous dramatist, poet and social activist, met a very important figure in his life, Nie Er, who was only 20 years old. After the outbreak of the 918 Incident, in July 1932, Nie Er, alias "Black Angel", published an article in the press saying: "What we need is not soft tofu, but the hard kung fu of real knives and guns!" Tian Han, the leader of the Shanghai Left-Wing Cultural Movement at that time, noticed Nie Er and specifically found him to talk all night long, and the common pursuit made them know and cherish each other. Under the influence of Tian Han, Nie Er participated in the music group of the Left League. In early 1933, through the introduction of Tian Han, Nie Er joined the Communist Party of China in the studio of Xujiahui Lianhua Film Company, and began his first cooperation with Tian Han to compose "Mining Song" for the film "Light of Motherhood". Although Nie Er is 14 years younger than Tian Han, both of them have the feeling of knowing each other and hating late. In the two years from 1933 to 1935, Tian Han and Nie Er collaborated to create more than ten songs such as "Mine Opening Song", "Road Song", "Graduation Song", "Dock Worker" and so on. At this point, Tian Han and Nie Er have become like-minded "golden partners" in the history of modern and contemporary Chinese cinema and the history of new music. The final cooperation between the two people created a "stunning song", which is the "March of the Volunteer Army". In the spring of 1934, the Dentsu Film Company, founded by Situ Huimin and others, was established in Shanghai, which was a film company directly led by the Chinese Communist Party Film Group, and it became a hit with its first film, "Tao Li Robbery", which was composed by Tian Han and Nie Er, and became a popular song for a while. Immediately afterward, Dentsu Pictures began to prepare for the production of the literary script "Phoenix Nirvana Diagram" written by Tian Han. It depicts the story of Chinese intellectuals represented by the poet Xin Baihua who threw themselves into the pen and joined the volunteer army in heroically killing the enemy. Who would have guessed that just as the film was about to begin, Tian Han was arrested by Kuomintang agents on the charge of "propaganda redization." At that time, Tian Han had completed the first draft of the story, and the theme lyrics were written on the last page of the manuscript, and the song at that time was called "Military Song". Tian Han and others were arrested one after another, and the young Nie Er, full of anger, took the initiative to ask for help and took on the task of composing music for the film. In his residence on Xiafei Road in Shanghai, Nie Er composed the first draft of the majestic "Military Song" in just a few days, and changed the name of the song to "March". In April 1935, the White Terror in Shanghai was intensifying, and through the arrangements of the ccp's underground organization, Nie Er embarked on a ship to cross the east to Japan. At the end of April and the beginning of May, Nie Er sent the revised score back to Shanghai in Tokyo, Japan, to Situ Huimin and Sun Shiyi of Dentsu Pictures. In this way, a battle song that expressed the strong character of the Chinese nation and showed the dignity and heroic spirit of the motherland was born. This was nie's last work in his short life, and the last song he collaborated with Tian Han. "Phoenix Nirvana" was later renamed "Children of the Wind and Clouds", and after the release of the movie, the theme song "March of the Volunteer Army" soon became a sonorous and powerful anti-war song. It expresses the indomitable fighting spirit of the Chinese nation and inspires and inspires the confidence of the Chinese people in resisting foreign aggression. However, neither Nie Er nor Tian Han heard this song for the first time. On July 17, 1935, Nie Er drowned in Japan at the age of 23. In July 1935, Tian Han, who came out of the prison of the Nanjing Gendarmerie Headquarters, was very excited after hearing the "March of the Volunteer Army", but when he heard that Nie Er was killed, he lost his voice and cried bitterly, and wrote a eulogy poem: "A series of Jinling may be more, so there are a few swallows." Sing together to shock the world, and don't wait for the rest of the world! The country of the countryside has only fallen into a huge flood, and the frontier is the second bad Great Wall. The heroic soul should be transformed into a wild wave, so as to complain with our people! "The March of the Volunteers" is sung far beyond the screen and the record. After the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu in 1937, the March of the Volunteer Army once became one of the morale-boosting battle songs in the "Eight Hundred Heroes" barracks. After the Lugou Bridge Incident on July 7, 1937, China's all-out War of Resistance began, and this "March of the Volunteer Army" also became the truest roar of the indomitable spirit of the Chinese nation. Amid the sound of the cannon fire of the Chinese nation to save the country, the "March of the Volunteer Army" sang the anger and determination of the whole nation, and has since been sung in the north and south of the great river. In 1938, Feng Zikai recorded such a scene in "On the Song of the War of Resistance": "Even in the three villages in the barren mountains, there are the sounds of 'get up, get up' and 'advance, advance'. Needless to say in the city, the Hunan mother-in-law in Changsha and the Hubei coachman in Hankou can sing. Anchor Zhu Ruotong
