A Lifetime of Listening to 'The Laundry Song

Never has a song touched my regional complex as y as "The Laundry Song", which, like Han Hong's "Heavenly Road", unusually incorporates a lot of content beyond the song. There seems to be no substitute for the expression, power, and clarity of the song.

? It's hard to really get into the heart of "Laundry Song" with the usual humming and singing. You need to go to Tibet yourself to walk around, to listen and smell, to feel the land, the climate, the rivers, the streamers, the khaddar, the gesang flowers, the horses that are tired and out of breath on the mountain paths, the pilgrims who look so pious along the way, and to feel the purity of the landscapes and the quiet flowers and grasses there.

The reason I noticed the emotional weight of "Laundry Song" came from a personal trip to Tibet. On that occasion, I accompanied a team to investigate water conservancy in Tibet. During the day, I climbed mountains and waded through water, and I was very tired at night. Colleagues have a music enthusiasts meet to go to the concert hall to listen to the song, that is singing "magical Jiuzhai" and famous Yung Chung Erjia opened the concert hall. The young performers on the stage danced in a dynamic and simple way. With their dancing and singing, I realized that dance and song are in fact a metaphor for painting, wine and calligraphy, which renders, expresses and expresses everything about Tibet in its own way.

I didn't see any laundry scene in Tibet, but I really felt the hardship of the Tibetan environment. There is a water bureau with only four people, how does such an organization function? When our expedition passed through a shallow river with a log bridge, a local deputy secretary of the county party committee wearing rubber shoes did not hesitate to jump into the April river to help our mainland team members over the bank one by one, a car of the expedition broke down on the way out of the city, and also a director of the Public Security Bureau drove from the county to pick up in person. On the way back, the county party secretary personally drove dozens of miles and gave a local kind of chopsticks with orchids. Such details and bones are thick respect, reflecting the Tibet and our mainland affairs and human feelings of the fall, extraordinarily moving surprise.

? Thus, I saw the dance "Laundry Song" in another place in Tibet, I feel that the dance "Laundry Song" with the mainland has seen many times the feeling of the world apart. Here, a group of Tibetan youths full of aura swinging seemingly randomly, through body language, bring people to the river, laundry, bridges, cut barley, build new houses. Because of the song and singing, military-civilian relations, ethnic relations, comradeship became clear, plump, warm and vein clear, vivid in the past.

I understand the depth and sensitivity of a song, to this very much. Since then, I know that laundry is a kind of edge, a kind of baptism of labor and character. The river, the woman's hands, clean wooden pots, intimacy and the earth's mutual help and grace, sensing, diffuse, seeped into the veins of the eighteen bends of the mountain road, the echo of the long-lasting.

A person, it is entirely possible to take a song as a starting point, to beat the spirit, set up a benchmark of endeavor and cultivation, and start afresh, and it makes the days and boundless years to come, broad, brilliant, and intimate, and sunny to the future.
