Lyrics at the foot of Tianshan Mountain

Title: "Remembering Comrades"

-Episode of the movie "The Visitor on the Iceberg"

Lyrics: Lei Zhenbang

Singing: Li Shirong

At the foot of Tianshan Mountain is my lovely hometown. When I left him, it seemed that the Hami melon had broken its seedlings.

The girl who lives in my heart under the poplar seems to be hanging on the wall when I leave her.

Melon seedlings are broken, cantaloupe is still sweet, and the pianist will ring again when he comes back.

When I say goodbye to my comrades, it's like an avalanche?

Ah, dear comrade-in-arms, I will never see your majestic figure again.

Kind faces, dear comrades-in-arms

Can't you listen to me play and sing any more?

Ah, dear comrade-in-arms, you will never hear me play the piano or sing again.

Creative background:

Lei Zhenbang immediately came to Xinjiang to experience life after receiving the composition task of the film "The Visitor on the Iceberg". In order to collect folk songs sung by ethnic minority fighters, he has visited many outposts on the Karakorum Mountain and several alpine outposts at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. Because of the heavy snow and difficult road conditions, he couldn't go for the time being.

At that time, many people advised him not to go because there were avalanches in succession during that time, which was too dangerous. But Lei Zhenbang was unwilling and determined to go. That day, under the guidance of the guide, Lei Zhenbang braved the heavy snow and set off again.

When he had just walked for nearly a day and arrived at a post, an avalanche happened behind him before he entered the house, which made everyone present break out in a cold sweat. ?

Perhaps it was his persistence that touched the sky. In this post, he finally heard a sad and touching love story from a Tajik soldier ... Lei Zhenbang was deeply moved by this sad and touching story. The sadness and naivety of crying in the song made Lei Zhenbang even more shocked.

He is full of passion and re-creates. Thus, the episode of this film, the classic song "Why are flowers so red" sung for more than half a century, was born on a sleepless night.
