1984 New Year's Day, Northeast Shenyang. A young man who just turned 30 threw a postcard into the mailbox on the side of the road. The handwriting on the card is very handsome, less than 200 words in total, like poetry, more like lyrics. In mid-March this year, young people were invited to CCTV. It turned out that the works on his postcard participated in the lyrics collection of "The Story of the Yangtze River" and stood out from 4,583 works, but he knew nothing about it at that time. On the evening of 24th, in the studio of CCTV, Chen Duo and Hong Yun, the hosts of the special concert "The Story of the Yangtze River", took the stage and mysteriously said, "I can tell you that the lyricist of the theme song is in the studio now, among you. However, at this moment, he is still in the dark and doesn't know that he has been elected! " Chen Duo and Hongyun walked slowly towards the audience in the eager eyes of all. They stopped in front of a young man in a military uniform and said, "The lyricist is this young soldier-Comrade Hu Hongwei! Introduce yourself! " In a flash, the camera, recording microphone and video recorder all came together. Hu Hongwei was obviously unprepared, and his face flushed bright red. Just now, he thought that this time the TV station invited him to join in. He even speculated that the winner should be a famous artist or someone who lives on the edge of the Yangtze River. He said shyly, "I am the creator of shenyang military area command Song and Dance Troupe." Hongyun smiled and handed the microphone to her mouth: "Comrade Hu Hongwei, everyone must want to know, what are you thinking at this moment?" "I'm not ready, suddenly. For example, my mood now is like a stream that has just come out of the valley to the river. The great river here refers to nothing but the old-timers and young colleagues present here, as well as the tens of millions of viewers in Qian Qian who are sitting in front of the TV and watching the party with us at the moment. " Just one day later, as "you came from ancient times, the huge waves washed away the dust ... we praised the Yangtze River-you are an infinite source. We are connected to the Yangtze River-you have mother's feelings ... ",Hu Hongwei's name is also known to hundreds of millions of people. Hu Hongwei's works won the Best Creation Award in this solicitation activity. Some insiders said that according to the usual order of song creation, first write words and then compose music, but this time on the contrary, it is quite difficult to create.
