Composer: Su Yue
Singing: Fan Linlin
My family lives on a high loess slope, and the wind blows.
Whether it's northwest wind or southeast wind, it's my song, my song.
My family lives on a high loess slope, and the sun passes through it.
According to my arm, according to my point, my cow follows me.
No matter how many years passed, my ancestors left me.
I am the only one singing, and the Yellow River surrounds me as far as the eye can see.
My family lives on the high loess slope, where the four monsoon blows.
Whether it is 800 years or 10,000 years, it is my song.
Loess high slope is a common landform in northern China. In the late 1980s, the song of the same name "Loess Plateau" written by Chen Zhe and composed by Su Yue was first sung by Zhang Jinglin (also known as An Wen) at the CCTV "Tongzong" party. During 1988, the Northwest Style developed by the famous singer Fan Linlin made this song popular, and many female singers followed suit, which triggered the popularity of Northwest Style in China. In 2008, Fan Linlin, who has become a singer, sang "Loess Plateau" in a large concert to commemorate the 30 years of reform and opening up, which once again evoked people's good memories of the ideal 1980s. Whether it's 800 years or 10,000 years, it's all my songs, high-pitched and uninhibited singing, high-spirited passion for life, and my desire to transform my life and destiny in endless thinking.
The northwest wind originated from 1987 and prevailed in 1988. It is said that the song "Loess High Slope" was written by Su Yue in 1987, but it was not sung for some reasons. Later, Su Yue's ex-wife Zhang Jinglin thought it was a good song, and encouraged Su Yue to sing openly and take the lead. Although Zhang Jinglin was not a red singer or even a professional singer, she was a star at that time. Because she played Qingwen in the 87th TV series A Dream of Red Mansions, which left a deep impression on TV viewers, Zhang Jinglin's Loess Plateau also left a good impression on TV viewers.
Not long after Qingwen's version of Loess Plateau came out, Fan Linlin's "Loess Plateau" really made this song popular in the streets. So many female singers followed suit. In addition to famous singers, many female singers can also be heard singing "Loess Plateau" loudly in various spontaneous cultural activities of the masses, which triggered a wave of northwest wind songs.
In 2008, 30 years of reform and opening up commemorated various large-scale performances. Fan Linlin became the representative of northwest wind with My Hometown and Loess High Slope, which set off a nostalgic upsurge. People who have experienced the 1980s, hearing these passionate and inspirational songs, are full of lofty sentiments and return to their youth.
