1965, in order to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army's Long March, I participated in the Long March and reviewed the real experience in the Long March. It took half a year to complete 12 epic poems with vivid images and sincere feelings. Subsequently, 10 was selected to form a suite, which described 10 interlocking battle life scenes respectively, and skillfully blended the folk tunes of various regions with the tunes of traditional Red Army songs, and finally merged into a large-scale vocal music suite with distinctive theme, rich content, novel form and unique style.
With profound and concise language, beautiful and moving tunes, rich national style, popular art performance forms, indomitable and selfless revolutionary spirit, the heroic spirit of the Red Army commanders and soldiers was praised. Praise the legendary 25,000 Li Longda Parade in China's revolutionary history.
Lyrics of "Long March Songs":
The red flag fluttered and the horn sounded. Soldiers, don't go home. Wang Ming's route was extremely sinful, and the enemy was rampant after five "encirclement and suppression" campaigns. The red army's main force went on the road and its strategy shifted to the distance. Men, women and children came to bid farewell, tears stained their clothes and told a long story. Hold the hand of the Red Army tightly. When will relatives return to their hometown? Dark clouds can't cover the sky, and the red sun shines forever. The revolution will win, and the enemy will eventually be buried.
It's a long way to Xiu Yuan, and the autumn wind is cool. The enemy is outnumbered and the military situation is busy. The Red Army crossed Du He at night, crossed Wuling Mountains and seized Xiangjiang River. In thirty days, the flying troops broke through four blockade walls. Not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, not afraid of suffering, killing tigers and wolves one by one. The whole army misses Chairman Mao and looks forward to the sun in the fog. Miaolingxiu, the rising sun rises. A hundred birds crow to announce the arrival of the Spring Festival. The Zunyi meeting shone brilliantly, and the whole party and army celebrated it together.
