The Water of Wanquan River is Clear and Clear
Composer: Du Mingxin
The water of Wanquan River is clear and clear,
I weave a hat to send the Red Army.
The army loves the people and the people support the army,
The army and the people are united as one family.
The water of Wanquan River is clear and clean,
I weave a hat and send it to the Red Army.
The army loves the people and the people support the army,
The army and the people are united to fight the enemy.
The scenery in the Red Zone is beautiful,
Red Women's Scouts
Red Women's Scouts
The army and the people are as one.
The water of Wanquan River is clear,
I make up a hat to send the Red Army,
Military and people are united to move forward

Composition background
In 1964, as a tribute program for the 15th anniversary of the National Day, as a composer received the task of creating the ballet "Red Detachment of Women". From the task to the performance, only about half a year, very hasty. The general composition of a ballet basically one or two years, but time is short, we immediately began to write, after writing the piano score, the actors according to the piano score to rehearsal, I wrote several programs, but when I wrote this program, I went to Hainan to experience the life of the Hainan Li people often live in the region.
Some of the folk songs there are very inspiring to me, and this song is absorbed from the local folk songs of Wuzhishan. After writing several proposals, and after a trial run, I was lucky enough to choose this song, "The Water of Wanquan River is Clean and Clear".
