The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Jiu Er" is:
Sung in the tone of the heroine Jiu Er's heartfelt singing, singing all the strong stoic stumbling life as well as intertwined love and hate, highlighting Jiu Er's stubbornness as that piece of sorghum vitality, is to tell the listener of the indomitable women of China, just as the lyrics say: The most beautiful than the Jiu Er, the red piece of sorghum, the generation, the red whole Chinese land! The most beautiful thing is that the nine children, red that piece of sorghum land, that generation, red the whole Chinese land.
"Jiu'er" is the ending song of the TV series "Red Sorghum", written by He Qiling and Akun, composed by Akun, and sung by Han Hong and Hu Shasha in two versions. The song is sung in the first person by the heroine "Jiu'er", and through Han Hong's storytelling high-pitched voice, it expresses Jiu'er's strong and stoic character, her lifelong love and hatred, and the ups and downs of the plot in the work in the best possible way.
The lyrics of "Jiu'er" are as follows:
The field beside me
The jujube blossom at hand
The sorghum is ripe and red
Jiu'er, I'm going to send you to a faraway place
The field beside me
The jujube blossom at hand
The jujube blossom at hand
The jujube blossom at hand
The jujube blossom at hand
The jujube blossom at hand
Jiu'er I'll send you to a faraway place
Ah ah
Sorghum is ripe and red
Jiu'er I'll send you to a faraway place
Jiu'er I'll send you to a faraway place
Songwriting background:
Ah Kun, in composing the music for Red Sorghum, found Mo Yan's Red Sorghum Family and the movie version of the music and listened to it over and over again. He listened to the music over and over again, had some communication with director Zheng Xiaolong, and came to the sorghum fields in Gaomi, where the filming took place. In Akun's mind, Jiu'er is stubborn, daring to love and hate, just like sorghum, with exuberant life.
Besides that, Akun also has Zhou Xun's shadow in his mind, a character, an actor, that somehow fits with his music. In Akun's opinion, Han Hong's range is so wide that she can sing at even higher notes, and the song is all about raising the pitch and going up to the upper register.
