Chapter 255
Immediately afterwards, the penetrating sound of the snare drum joins in, serving as a watershed, and the instruments of each part sound in an orderly manner.
The classical Baroque melody of the prelude sets the tone for the entire piece.
Aesthetic, retro, and in a major key, it carries a romantic recollection of past national sentiments.
Back and forth three times, in the final variation that gradually goes down.
The female part of the choir began to sing.
"Snow falls in the Red Mansion, heroes of the time."
"The ancient philosophers wrote: Patriotism, progress, democracy and science"
The sound of string music complemented the rich female voice, echoing throughout the May Fourth Stadium.
The melody, with Lu Qingfeng's violin as the main sound, attracted everyone's attention.
Combined with the lyrics, it brings them back to those passionate years.
Peking University, a century-old institution, has been closely linked to the destiny of the country and nation since its establishment.
No school has ever been so closely connected with a nation.
Peking University’s Red Building is where the revolutionary flame was ignited and the red prologue was written.
Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao, Hu Shi, Qian Xuantong, Liu Bannong, Lu Xun... These familiar names have all taught and worked in the Peking University Red Building.
They advocated new culture and new ideas and promoted China's modernization process.
Patriotism, progress, democracy, and science.
In the first verse, not a single word is superfluous.
"Recalling the long separation, the Yangguan Pass is a thousandfold pass."
"Wild songs once competed in the night, and the mountains and rivers were cleaned up for a hundred years."
In the second section, the male part sings and the female part performs the harmony.
"We come from the south and north of the Yangtze River, and our hearts are connected to the towns and the countryside."
"We walked to the ends of the earth, pointing to the mountains and peaks."
……
Is "Yanyuan Love" a good song?
Objectively speaking, this song is definitely not as popular as "Ruyuan" and "Wanjiang" and other songs with popular elements in terms of popularity and memorable melody.
To outsiders, the lyrics don't seem to be very touching.
But as a song tailor-made for Peking University, "Yanyuan Love" is more than just excellent.
There is no mention of Peking University in any of its lyrics, but every line is about Peking University.
From the perspective of a Peking University student, listening to this song is extremely touching.
This is not a song with commercial purpose, but is aimed at a specific group of people.
Like our predecessors, we share the noble spirit of studying and serving the country.
Sing in this stadium named after the May Fourth Movement.
"Today, we are the students of Dongfeng, and we are completing our homework with our youth."
"Tomorrow we will become a forest of giant trees, and China will astonish the world."
"Yanyuan's love, thousands of knots, ask the young man's heart."
"There is no water in my eyes, but the moon of the Yellow River is in my chest."
No matter what the future holds, at least at this moment, these freshmen are proud in their hearts.
For the identity of Peking University student.
On the podium, Professor Xia stood up with the help of two people beside him.
Humming softly.
When Lu Qingfeng wrote the lyrics and composed the music, he was the first person to see the lyrics.
Among all the people present, perhaps this old man was the one who felt the most deeply.
Because this song was born from his story!
When the people around him saw that he had stood up, they could no longer sit down and stood up one by one with him.
"Yanyuan's love, thousands of knots, ask the young man's heart."
"The water in the eyes is unknown."
"The Yellow River Moon in my heart."
"The Yellow River Moon in my heart."
The final male and female chorus pushed the melody to a majestic climax.
The melody and the singing fell together and stopped abruptly.
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
The applause broke out and continued in the stadium.
The musicians from the two orchestras bowed in thanks and then left the stage in an orderly manner.
On the rostrum, Ren Yizhou clapped softly.
"I really underestimated the young people of today. This poem is more insightful about the history of this school than us, the older generation."
Fang Mingbo echoed.
"I heard from them that this guy borrowed a lot of our school's history books from the library in order to write the song. He put in a lot of effort."
"Okay, the creation of literary and artistic works must be imaginative, but history cannot be nihilistic."
