Interpretation of the Story Behind the Creation of Taiwan Province Campus Song "Grandma's Penghu Bay"

Singing: Pan Anbang

Word: Ye Jiaxiu

Song: Ye Jiaxiu.

The evening breeze is blowing gently in Penghu Bay.

Chasing the white waves on the beach

Coconut grove without sunset.

It's just a sea blue.

Sitting on the low wall in front of the door, thinking again and again.

There are two and a half footprints on the beach at dusk.

That's grandma holding my hand gently with a stick.

Walking towards the warm Penghu Bay in the twilight.

A footprint is a series of laughter that kills a lot of time.

Until the night devours our way home

Penghu Bay Penghu Bay Grandma's Penghu Bay

I have many childhood fantasies.

Cactus undulata on sunny beach

There is also an old captain

This is a beautiful and lyrical campus song, which expresses the admiration for the lovely home of beautiful grandmother Penghu Bay with passionate style, and at the same time evokes memories of a beautiful childhood. This song is Gongdiao and has a two-part structure. The first part of the song slowly enters from the bass area, and the tune is smooth. The sixth jump in the third paragraph makes the song full of motion, which reminds people of walking on the familiar beach when they were young, leaving vivid scenes step by step, and expressing their admiration for beautiful homeland.

"Grandma's Penghu Bay" became the endorsement song for sightseeing in Penghu. It's been singing for 35 years. Until now, the melody of this song has sounded, and many primary school students in grades 4, 5 and 6, even students in grades 7 and 8, can hum along with it, even people from mainland China.

Grandma's Penghu Bay is based on the story of Pan Anbang's childhood love for her grandparents and grandchildren in Penghu. This is the first time that singer Ye Jiaxiu has written lyrics and composed music for Pan Anbang.

From 65438 to 0979, Ye Jiaxiu got to know Pan Anbang under the arrangement of Haishan Record Company, and learned the story of Pan Anbang's childhood affection with his grandparents in Penghu, and wrote this song for Pan Anbang. On the same day, Pan Anbang immediately made a long-distance call from Taibei to Penghu to call his grandmother. He said that he sang this song on the phone at that time, and there was no sound on the other end of the phone after singing. He could feel grandma sobbing and crying. There are many stories about Pan Anbang and his grandmother's grandparents behind this song. Pan Anbang sang his own story with true feelings. 1979, Pan Anbang won the annual "Best Newcomer Award in Taiwan Province Province" for this song.

Behind the song Grandma's Penghu Bay, there are many stories about Pan Anbang and grandma's grandparents. Sing your own story with true feelings, and Pan Anbang will sing it once in the studio! After this record was published, these songs became popular, and so did people in Pan Anbang. They also had the opportunity to go back to Penghu and watch a movie theater performance when they were children, and grandma also came.

Pan Anbang said that grandma had severe arthritis, and there were many stairs in Zhongxing Theater, but grandma climbed the stairs step by step to watch his performance and still sat in her seat. When he sang this song that day, tears could not help falling out, because he felt that grandma had put a lot of effort into watching her grandson's performance.

This song and Pan Anbang later spread all the way to the mainland. 1990, Pan Anbang was about to perform in Changsha with several singers, but she received the bad news of her grandmother's death. He gave up the performance and immediately ran back to Penghu. As a result, riots broke out on the first day of the performance in Pan Anbang, and many spectators broke tables and chairs in protest. Pan Anbang had to hold back his grief and rush to Changsha.

Pan Anbang said that when he stepped onto the stage, he told the audience that his grandmother had passed away, and the scene was quiet after all the noise. Then the words "Grandma's Penghu Bay" suddenly appeared in the audience of 20,000. Pan Anbang, who was originally only going to apologize on stage, decided to sing Grandma's Penghu Bay for the last time, but the result was puzzling. He sang this song tens of thousands of times, and he couldn't even catch up with the opening melody for the first time.

Pan Anbang pointed out that the acoustics around the stage began to chirp and rattle. He looked at the sound engineer and found that the sound was all right after inspection. So he told his grandmother in his heart that this time he was singing for her, hoping that her grandmother would let him finish singing, and finally he finished singing smoothly.

"That's my grandmother holding my hand gently with crutches, stepping on the twilight to the warm Penghu Bay. A footprint is a string of laughter, which kills a lot of time until the night engulfs us on the way home ... "Pan Anbang said that when he sang to Penghu Bay, he shed tears when he thought of Ma Gong's grandmother lying in Penghu, and the audience below sang along. The scene made him unforgettable, and the audience comforted him not to be sad. Grandma will hear it, too.

Pan Anbang hasn't sung this song in public for nearly 15 years. Until 2003, when he came back from a serious illness, he recorded a record and sang this grandma's Penghu Bay. In his hometown of Penghu, a statue simulating his grandmother and childhood Pan Anbang also appeared. This song has become a living advertisement for Penghu to attract Taiwan Province residents and even mainland tourists. But it has no commercial significance. This song will always touch many people's hearts.
