Xie Jiang (Dazhu County)
"Push the window to look at the five peaks, egrets a line on the blue sky. Open the door and look at the island lake, the blue water of the boat sails ...... ah, drunken beauty of Dazhu, the source of the world's bamboo, every smiling face is radiant in green." Recently, the county TV station and the major square LED, as well as cell phone color ringtone, every day repeatedly play this new song, "Drunken Beauty Dazhu". Extremely bamboo township regional flavor of the lyrics, accompanied by the beautiful melody of the eastern Sichuan ditty, people do not drunk also drunk. The original of this song is the famous lyricist, the national cultural system advanced worker Mr. Wang Xiyi.
The right side of my desk from time to time there is a set of "bamboo charm", which is an important product of the county's foreign propaganda, loaded with two things: A disk, is a beautiful picture, the production of exquisite propaganda film "beautiful Dazhu please come"; B disk, is a set of singing bamboo, fresh and beautiful image of the song, which more than half of Mr. Wang Xiyi wrote the song, "Into the bamboo village," "Bamboo Shoots Doll" and so on, is quite popular.
Mr. Wang Xiyi and his mother were high school classmates, from the mouth of adults often hear about his talent, so I began to worship him when I was very young. I did not expect that because of work, now and Wang's close contact with the old man has become the norm, more truly appreciate his wisdom and talent, respect is doubled. Mr. Wang is a member of China Music Literature Society, China Music Copyright Association, Sichuan Musicians Association, Songwriters Association, and former Deputy Director of the Bureau of Culture. His works all carry forward the main theme and glorify truth, goodness and beauty, which is not unrelated to the consciousness of the old intellectuals. His creations have no political tasks, no economic compensation, all depends on the full enthusiasm for the cause of literature and art. He often said, "The big river is full of water," only the country is good, the nation is good, the individual will be good.
In the year of Hong Kong's return to China, the lyrics he wrote, "The Return", were composed by Tian Guang, the composer of "Beijing Ode", and he thought he was too lucky to have a big composer actually compose a song specifically for his lyrics. Wang Xin, a famous composer in Tianjin, has written many songs in his life, the most famous is the familiar "Singing the Motherland", "five-starred red flag flutters in the wind, how loud the victory song is, singing our dear motherland, from now on towards prosperity and strength ......" A chance By chance, Wang Xiyi's lyrics "Faith" inspired him, and he decided to compose a piece of music for it as a tribute to the 16th National Congress of the Party. During the creation period, Wang Xin got Parkinson's disease and insisted on composing the song with a trembling hand when he was critically ill, which touched Wang Xiyi immensely. I remember "XX" published an article in honor of Wang Xin, titled "The Power of Faith", which was specially written about his insistence on composing when he was critically ill, and quoted the lyrics of Wang Xiyi's "Faith", "Sunflower has an unchanging ideal, always looking towards the golden sun; teenagers have an undying faith, always following the **** Producer's Party...". ..." The song was made into MTV by Tianjin TV station, which was quickly sung throughout the country. 2011 is the 90th anniversary of the founding of China's ****productivity party, when he learned that Dazhu County will hold "Ode to the Party" large-scale square art performance, he sleeps and sleeps on creating the "Ode to the Scientific Development Concept". Ode to the Scientific Outlook on Development". When this song was presented in the form of a chorus by the propaganda system in front of more than 30,000 viewers, the whole party was instantly pushed to the climax. "The sunshine of truth shines on the north and south of the Sebei River; the rain of wisdom moistens the hundreds of millions of hearts. ......" The song was later made into a music video, which was broadcast nightly on Dazhu TV station, and became the theme song of the whole county for a while. In order to eulogize the Chinese dream, he created the Great Relay and Chasing Dreams; to echo the rule of law, he created Walking with the Law and Law by the Side; in order to express the love between fish and water, he worked all night to write the Song of the Mass Line, "the masses are the mountains, the Party is the sea, the mountains and the sea reflect the most beautiful scenery. The masses are the sky, the party is the ground, heaven and earth united to write a big legend ...... " in the majority of cadres and masses widely circulated. The county party secretary He Hongbo heard the song, personally called him, highly appreciated his work and dedication, and talked to him, the Spring Festival also made a special trip to visit him, so that the old artist doubly inspired and honored.
The wall of flowers, inside and outside the fragrance. 2010 summer day, the Sichuan Conservatory of Music teachers and students to carry out "send culture into the bamboo township" sympathy performance. The first time I saw this was when I was a student at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of California, Berkeley. When the tenor singer, Sichuan Music Teacher Tan Xuesheng just walked into the lobby of the East Lake Hotel with his luggage, Wang Lao a key step to welcome up, holding his hand tightly. Tan Xuesheng was very surprised at the time, thinking that this person I do not recognize ah, I was also a bit puzzled. Wang Lao just finished introducing himself, the other party at once tightly embraced the glasses slightly thin elders, voice rushed and excited. It turns out that ten years ago, Tan Xuesheng with a song "into the West" into the tenth National Youth Song Contest finals, in the CCTV live site, he scored 98.5 points to get the highest score of the game that night. In the context of the loud and clear call for the development of the west, the selection of this high-pitched and heroic song to participate in the competition, undoubtedly gave him extra points, it is a wise move. And this song, it is Wang Xiyi lyrics, Jiangsu TV senior director YuZhouPing music. He never expected to sing more than ten years, today I have the honor to meet with the author, how can not be excited? He said that the song had as "into the big west" album of the hit song in the first place, become "open door song", and the second artillery troupe tenor singer, the National Vocal Competition Gold Medalist Qiao Jun also very much like to sing it, has twice included in their own song disc.
From ancient times to the present, there are countless songs written in praise of teachers nationwide, and Mr. Wang Xiyi wrote one more than twenty years ago, called "Ode to the Red Candle". This theme seems to be ordinary and common, but he used a different pen to write a new meaning of "teacher", and sang it in national singing style, which made a wonderful debut on China Education Television (CETV). This was his first song broadcast on a national TV station, and he was overjoyed. 1993 New Year's Eve was a sleepless night for Mr. Wang. Hang Tianqi, one of the most popular singers at that time, sang the song on the gorgeous stage of CCTV's "Spring Songs" special cultural performance, using the popular singing style, except that the title of the song was hidden, called "Red Candle". When the lower left corner of the TV screen "lyrics" column played "Wang Xiyi" three words, every cell of his body is full of joy, which is undoubtedly the most precious New Year's gift he has ever received.
If the party is the fulcrum of his life, his hometown is the starting point of his creation. As a native of Dazhu, it is his lifelong conviction to publicize Dazhu and its spirit to the whole country and province in the form of music and literature and music and art, and to praise the mountains and waters of his hometown. Over the past decades, he has created a large number of works celebrating Dazhu, which have won numerous awards, largely enhancing the popularity of this small county of Dazhu. Dazhu County is named for "bamboo, bamboo big", bamboo culture is self-evident local characteristics, bamboo suona, bamboo musical instruments playing is an important carrier to highlight the culture of this region. To this end, he devoted himself to directing the "Golden Phoenix", "bamboo words", "bamboo ballad" and "bamboo suona dream" and other fine arts to create. The effort is not disappointing. These programs have been featured on CCTV 7's "Village World", performed at the International (Chengdu) Intangible Cultural Heritage Festival, and won the Best Fancy Award at the "National Suona Heroes Festival". In addition, he also put forward many in-depth thoughts and valuable suggestions on how to beautify his hometown, such as writing bamboo, painting bamboo, singing bamboo, singing bamboo, dancing bamboo, molding bamboo and so on.
Qu art is a collective name for all kinds of rap art, mostly reflecting social life with a level-headed gaze, with lively, joyful and peaceful forms of expression. Wang can be called a flower of the Bashan opera, a deep study of the opera genre, generally in the creation of the former, but also to go to the field to capture the inspiration, and then use a unique vision and strokes to conceptualize. He created to reflect the scientific and technological development of Sichuan lotus leaves "shed song fly", won the Sichuan Provincial Group Star Award Gold Medal; Sichuan lanterns "buy New Year's paintings", in the National New Rural Literature and Art Exhibition won the crowd, won the highest award "Golden Land Award"; Sichuan plate "" five special "record heart", in the "hundred cultural performances to the countryside" tour, was well received. He retired, but not rest, dedicated to creating, the stage of cultural performances as a platform for publicizing the Party's policies. Even though he was seriously ill still insisted on creating in his bed, last year he was hospitalized during the illness, I went to visit, he was still attached to the Sichuan Qingyin "Bamboo Town Teahouse" to build. The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold. The program in the province's first Farmer's Art Festival and the western twelve provinces on the exhibition of fine arts of song and dance, was pleased to win two gold medals.
Into his song, into his heart. I remember once Mr. Wang Xiyi told me that one day in the 80's, a music cadre named Peng Mengwei from the Cultural Hall of Jiulongpo District, Chongqing, sent him 900 yuan for his manuscript, saying that the children's song he wrote, "Whispering," had been put on the stage in Chongqing. He described his work's first appearance on a foreign stage with a fluttering brow, so innocent, like a child. In fact, he has always been a child at heart, especially concerned about the physical and mental health of children and youth, and has composed many cheerful children's songs to promote values and traditional virtues. His "Moonlight Beans", which was choreographed into a song and dance by the Guangxi Children's Art Troupe, made its way onto the CCTV stage. "Little spiders, weaving webs and nets, catching bugs as food. Little silkworms, weaving nets and webs, make a beautiful house. Little brother, spread the net net, catch the fish filled cabin. Little sister, surf the net, pick up treasure in the kingdom of information." This educational and entertaining song "Net" won the first prize of "Excellent Nursery Rhymes of Dazhou City". He is proud of a lot of works, but "Panda Baby" can be said to be one of the best, was invited by the Ministry of Culture, as the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Austria on behalf of cultural exchanges, to the Austrian Golden Hall in Vienna performance, which is the province's only shortlisted works, a great success. In addition to the stage and screen, many of Wang's lyrics have been published in publications such as Word Magazine and Children's Music, amounting to more than 500 songs.
Whenever there is something going on, Mr. Wang likes to come to my office, and even when he meets me on the street, he wants to talk for a while. I was often touched by his persistence and infected by his colorful voice. Every time, I would sigh that people like him, who love their career and have dreams in their hearts, are the happiest people. The reason why Dazhu continuously honored the national cultural advanced county, it is with such a group of "old cow", it is worthy of the name, full of fruit.
Perhaps the sky is jealous of his talent, deliberately let his life have regrets. The biggest pain in life is not more than white send black hair. Mr. Wang Xiyi's only two daughters have not yet reached adulthood, are due to illness unfortunately passed away, his partner also suffers from intermittent mental illness, often hospitalized. In front of such a heavy blow, he swallowed his tears in his stomach, buried his sorrows deep, never bowed to fate, and always had a sunny smile in front of us. From his mouth, eyes and heart, what he heard, saw and felt, there was no complaint, only gratitude, to the party and society. I remember that it was a day in 2011, led by me, and just selected and unveiled the first "touching Dazhu" top ten people together, to the major systems and townships to make advanced deeds tour report. At the report, we tearfully shared the touching story of Mr. Bamboo entitled "Bamboo leaves are green and refuse to be yellow", and the whole audience repeatedly resounded with long-lasting applause. His silent dedication and arduous journey, along with his several chokes, made us shaken and melted from head to toe. That night, I had a hard time sleeping.
In order to prevent the emergence of the green and yellow, Wang Lao pays special attention to discovering and cultivating young literary talents, especially in the original works of intention, proportion, skills, etc., and painstakingly, without conservatism, to help them accelerate the growth of the teachings. In the selection of themes, he often encouraged young people to adhere to the "three more": more to reflect the joys and sorrows of ordinary people at the grass-roots level, more to express the achievements of the county development and hot life, more to carry out some of the masses concerned about the creation of realistic themes in the field. In order to successfully complete several sessions of the National New Rural Arts Exhibition opening ceremony, closing ceremony, special performances and other participatory tasks, he often withstood the scorching heat, personally to the scene to guide the young actors rehearsal program, repeatedly polished, and strive for excellence.
The sky is the limit, and the earth is the limit of respect. Mr. Wang Xiyi got a lot of the city's first: Dazhou City, the first by the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Personnel honored advanced workers in the cultural system, Dazhou City, the first to get the Chinese Musicians Association of Lyrics "morning bell award" lyricist, Dazhou City, the first long-term commitment to music and literature and song forms at the same time to the whole country and the province of the eulogy of the state! The first cultural person in Dazhou City who has long been devoted to eulogizing Dazhou to the whole country and the whole province in the form of music, literature and music and art. ...... The songs he composed, such as "Tarzan is You", "Auntie Chun Tells Fairy Tales", "Night Rain in Bashan" and "Fairy Tales in Autumn", have won the gold and silver prizes of the national competition. More than twenty of his songs have been broadcasted on CCTV, and his works have participated in the CCTV Youth Song Competition twice, won the National Children's Songwriting Competition Award for four times, and won the Gold Award of Sichuan "Group Star Award", "Ba Shu Literary Award", "Five One Project Award" and so on in Dazhou City. Five One Project Award", etc. Many of his compositions have been incorporated into the music teaching materials of primary and secondary schools, or made into CDs, VCDs and MTVs for domestic and international distribution by the Music Education Specialized Committee of the China Education Association, China Records Shanghai, Chengdu Star Entertainment Culture Company, etc. They have been broadcasted by the China Education Television Station and the provincial satellite TV stations. Ten years ago, he published a collection of lyrics "Bashan love affair", ten years later, today, "CDs of the years" again, heartily happy for him.
With the county's friends in the field of literature and art contact for many years, one of the deepest impression I have is that the bamboo township of cultural people, bamboo township of cultural people really cultured, bamboo township of cultural people can be relatable and respectable. Literary awards, is the highest praise for a period of cultural people and literary works, much attention. Last year, the first "Dazhu Literary Award" after several rigorous selection of experts, was finally announced, which "special contribution award" was awarded to only two people, one is a set of editing, directing, acting in one of the famous theater writers Zhang Shangquan, the other is a set of lyrics, poetry, prose, The other is a collection of lyrics, poetry, prose, song, small theater in the lifetime of Wang Xi Yi. They are highly respected literary leaders in the bamboo township, rooted in the grassroots of the people's artists, we pay special attention to the "treasure of Dazhu".
I remember a few years ago, one day, I went to the county archives to check the information on the wall of the file search column, one by one to find the name of the unit, I actually saw the "Wang Xiyi" three words, ranked in the Jiang Guolin, Shen Zhonghou and so on, as a local celebrity deposited in the archives, into the history of the record. This is his honor, deservedly, with his outstanding creative achievements and outstanding contribution to the prosperity and development of the bamboo township arts and culture, match.
Among Mr. Wang Xiyi's many songs, "Bashan Love Song" can be said to be my favorite, and has almost become my first morning song after waking up every day, a musical breakfast. This song is his lyrics, Dazhu nationality in the development of Chengdu musician Chen Shuang composed and sung, very good, I downloaded it to the phone's cool I music box to treasure, but also often in the space to share with friends. "Again the autumn wind is cool, again the falling leaves are yellow, the autumn wind and the falling leaves evoke a long dream of homesickness in me; again the geese fly south, again the moon is like frost, the flying geese and the frosty moon evoke two lines of tears of homesickness in me. Thousands of miles of Bashan, the mountains are high and the water is long, I am the kite you fly, you are a piece of the harbor I moored ......"
Xiyi, not the same hope, never stop singing. To sing for the times, to sing for the people, to sing for life, this, is Mr. Wang Xiyi's vivid interpretation of his real name.
I was told that in a few days, it will be the 70th birthday of Mr. Wang, and with this article, I wish Mr. Wang a long and healthy life, and the birth of more heirloom works, and be immersed in the happiness of the song forever.
