Sixty years ago, on the Jinyintan grassland, Wang and Saye Zhuo Ma, who were in their prime of life and pure as water, performed a beautiful legend. Sixty years later, Zhuo Ma's younger brother told this little-known story for the first time.
"In that distant place, there is a good girl; When people walk past her counting house, they will look back with nostalgia. "
"Her pink smiling face is like the red sun, and her beautiful eyes are like the bright moon at night."
"I am willing to abandon my property and go herding sheep with her; Look at her charming eyes and beautiful Phnom Penh clothes every day ... "
This song, which has been sung for nearly 60 years, has fascinated China people from generation to generation. Where is the "distant place" in the song? Is the legendary Zhuo Ma as beautiful as the song says?
With a gentle whip, make an immortal work.
1939 summer, the grassland is picturesque. Zheng, one of the founders of China film, led a film crew to shoot the film "long live the motherland" in Jinyintan grassland. At that time, Wang, who was teaching in Xining, was invited to attend.
The film crew turned on at Qinghai Lake. Zheng invited Saye Zhuo Ma, the daughter of thousands of local families, to play the shepherdess in the film, and Wang played Saye Zhuo Ma's helper. At this time, Zhuo Ma was a 17-year-old girl in Seeds of Love. Her hair hung in a dozen pigtails behind her, and her big eyes shone boldly and fiercely. At that time, there was a saying circulating on the treasure beach: "The most beautiful flower on the grassland is Gesang flower, and the most beautiful girl on Qinghai Lake is Saye Zhuo Ma."
In the play, Wang and Zhuo Ma ride horses together. Lively and uninhibited, Zhuo Ma sometimes galloped, and sometimes bridled his horse to stand up. In order not to fall, Wang had to hug Zhuo Ma's waist. ...
At dusk, "Shepherdess" Zhuo Ma and "Helper" Wang drove the sheep back to the sheepfold and carefully counted the number of sheep. Zhuo Ma is graceful in the sunset, and the afterglow of the sunset reflects the silhouette of Zhuo Ma ... Wang is intoxicated by all this. Zhuoma raised the shepherd's whip, gently hit the king, turned and ran away. Wang just stood there, savoring the taste of the whip carefully. ...
As night falls, the bonfire on the grassland reflects half the sky.
The story is beautiful and touching. After Zhuo Ma whipped, on the hump back to Xining, Wang sang an immortal work "In that Far Away Place" with the help of Kazakh tunes.
Take a trip to collect wind and form a deep friendship.
In April of the following year, Wang came to Jinyintan Grassland from Xining. This time, he brought stone glasses, fur robes and other gifts to thousands of families. The main purpose of Wang's coming here is to collect folk songs.
At this time, Wang and Zhuoma rode out before dawn and rushed home as soon as it got dark. Although it is already late at night, Wang is still sorting out the collected music under the dim oil lamp. Sometimes, Zhuo Ma also invited singers from the grassland to Wang to sing various folk tunes face to face. In late July of the lunar calendar, Wang He and Zhuo Ma also rushed to Qinghai Lake to watch the annual ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sea. At this solemn ceremony, herdsmen of all ethnic groups performed their exquisite songs and dances, which opened Wang's eyes and raised his artistic level to a new height.
In Tibetan, Saye means blessing, and Zhuo Ma means fairy. I don't know if Saye Zhuo Ma is really a fairy, but at her urging, Wang wrote the famous work In that faraway place, which really laid the foundation for him to become the "King of Spanish Songs" in the future.
The trip lasted for three months, and Wang and Zhuo Ma traveled all over the Jinyintan grassland, forming a profound friendship. After the tour, Wang returned to Xining. When can I go back to Treasure Beach and ride the grassland with Zhuo Ma? It has become a deep wish of Wang.
You never know, old friends go through a lot.
Things are unpredictable, and Wang, who returned to Xining, experienced numerous difficulties. Wang, who is famous for writing love songs, is not happy in his personal life. In Xining, he wrote songs for Ma Bufang, in Ma Bufang prison. After the liberation of Xining, he wrote songs for General Wang Zhen's troops and marched into Xinjiang with them. In the unjust years, Wang was sent to a reform-through-labour farm for labor reform. 1958, Wang's old landlord, with thousands of families, was also sent to a labor camp for reform. 1959 died in Gangcha. On his deathbed, he gave his son what the king had given him and told him to take care of the king's things anyway. During the Cultural Revolution, these things only survived by hiding in the pile of cow dung.
According to others, Saye Zhuo Ma later married Shi, the head of Haiyan County of Kuomintang, and had an only child. It is said that this marriage was entirely her own decision, and there was no wedding ceremony. 1954, Saye Zhuo Ma suddenly fell ill and the goddess in the song passed away.
Nowadays, in that faraway place is known to all women and children. Everyone on the grassland knows that the treasure beach is in the distance. There are many girls named Zhuo Ma in Triangle City, all because of that song. It's a pity that they didn't know anything at that time.
