Sing a Mountain Song to the Party Lyrics

Sing a Mountain Song to the Party

The song was originally sung by Hu Songhua.

Lyrics: Banana Ping

Arrangement: Zhu Zhen'er

Singing a song to the Party, I compare the Party to my mother

Mother only gave birth to me, the Party's light shines in my heart

The old society's whip lashed my body, mother would only be drenched in tears

The Party called for me to start a revolution, and I took the whip to beat up the enemy

***. The Party calls me to revolution, seize the whip

Take the whip and beat the enemy, sing a song to the Party

I compare the Party to my mother, who gave birth to me

The Party's light shines in my heart, the Party's light shines in my mind

In 1963, the whole country set off a climax of learning from Lei Feng. Sing a Mountain Song to the Party" was one of the best songs produced during this climax. Its lyrics were excerpted from Lei Feng's Diary, a poem that Lei Feng had taken from a newspaper by Yao Xiaozhou (pen name Banana Ping), an employee of the Jiao Ping coal mine of the Tongchuan Mining Bureau in Shaanxi Province. Composer Zhu Tran'er set it to a solo song in the flavor of a mountain song as an interlude to the feature film "Lei Feng," which was premiered by Hu Songhua.

When "Sing a Mountain Song to the Party" was being sung everywhere, Zhu Tramples, the author of the song, had been trying to find out who the author of the lyrics, "Banana Ping," was. In the fall of 1963, Zhu Tramples, through repeated searches, finally discovered that Banana Ping was in the coal mine of Jiao Ping, Shaanxi Province. In the fall of 1963, Zhu Zhen'er finally found out that "Banana Ping" was in Jiao Ping Coal Mine in Shaanxi Province through repeated searches and wrote to the Party Secretary of the mine. Zhao Bingru, the party secretary, didn't know who Banana Ping was, so he held a general meeting and asked everyone, "Who is Banana Ping?" Shin Zhou did not say anything.
