Lyrics of the original song

1. Arranged by Wang Yunzhi

2. Lyrics:

The Red Army was sent down the mountain

Autumn rain and cold wind

The leaves of the sycamore tree have fallen

Sadness is weighing on the mind

We ask our relatives, the Red Army

How long will it take for the Red Army to return to the mountain

Seven days ago, the people of the river were busy on the boat

The boat was busy on the river

When will they return to the mountain

The Red Army was sent to the mountain

We are not sure if we are going to make it to the mountain again? p>

Seven sends the Red Army to Wudou Mountain

The boat on the river is busy

Thousands of troops and horses stand by the river

Hundreds of thousands of people have tears in their eyes

The Red Army can't be forgotten for the kindness of the people

Revolution succeeds, the Red Army will return to their hometowns

Nine sends the Red Army on the main road

The gongs are silent and the drums don't knock

The Red Army will be sent to the mountains.

The calloused hands of the Red Army

The heart of the Red Army is like the face of the Yellow River

How can we forget the Red Army

We hope that the Red Army will soon be able to spread the news

Ten Red Army soldiers are being sent to the Moon Pavilion

The pavilion has a high platform

The platform is ten feet high and is made of white jade

Drawn with dragons and painted with phoenixes, the platform has a high ceiling and a high ceiling.

Carved dragons and painted phoenixes shine brightly

We hope for the Red Army in the morning and the Red Army in the evening

This platform is called the Red Army Watching Platform

3, the song is introduced:

Ten Send the Red Army was born out of a special urgent task - the creation of a "performance of the Revolutionary Historical Songs". This performance was later called by Premier Zhou Enlai as the "pre-creative chapter" of the large-scale music and dance epic "The East is Red", and many of its works were included in "The East is Red". The idea of creating this show was put forward by Liu Yalou, the then commander of the air force.

Zhu Zhengben recalled that in 1960, Liu Yalou visited North Korea during the large-scale song and dance epic "3,000 miles of rivers and mountains". 3,000 North Korean warriors magnificent performance, so that the Confucian generals bright eyes, the next year he gave the Air Force Civilian Troupe Troupe Zhang Shuanghu, deputy director of the General Troupe, a task: within three months to create a revolutionary historical songs evening. The time constraints not to mention, Liu Yalou also put forward a ban": must be collected revolutionary historical songs, and not new creations.

After receiving this task, the Air Force Cultural and Technical Troupe immediately took action. Zhang Shixie, Zhu Zhengben, Yao Xuecheng and Chen Jie from the troupe's creative office were assigned to be responsible for the creation of text, music and dance.

In order to collect enough songs from the Red Army period, Liu Yalou personally mobilized old Red Army soldiers and cadres to come to the troupe to "offer songs". However, despite the extensive collection of material, but in reproducing the theme of the Red Army's farewell to the Soviet Union and the start of the Long March, but could not find a suitable song to express the people of the base area to send off the Red Army's reluctance to give up.

"Regardless of Commander Liu's ban, compose a song." The bold move of several creators led to the later song "Ten Send Off the Red Army".
