Lyrics by Chen Xiaoguang, Music by Shi Guangnan.
The song On the Fields of Hope was a popular song in the early 1980s, with lyrics by Chen Xiaoguang, music by Shi Guangnan, and original song by Yang Shuqing.
The song was once one of the songs promoted by the Central Committee of the **** Youth League and was used as a group dance song for the National Day "35th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" in 1984, which had a great impact on the youth in the 1980s.
Background:
In the late 1970s, China's countryside underwent radical changes, and the living standards of farmers improved significantly. Chen Xiaoguang, then editor of the monthly magazine Song, experienced life in the rural areas of Anhui and Sichuan, where he personally felt the joy of the people from the bottom of his heart, and y appreciated the ever-changing vitality of the motherland, so he excitedly wrote the lyrics of the song "On the Fields of Hope".
Chen then handed the lyrics of the song to composer Shi Guangnan. The composer from Chongqing, who is also full of love for the countryside and yearning for the new era, also took only half a day to complete the score.
