The Mountains and Rivers Are Already Unscathed Background of Creation
"The Mountains and Rivers Are Already Unscathed" was created in 2016 as the theme song for the long-running anti-U.S.-Aid for North Korea TV series "The 38th Parallel", which was directed by Meng Ji, scripted by Wang Hailin and Yan Gang, with the theme song written by Yan Gang, composed by Xu Zhitong, and sung by the China Symphony Orchestra's Juvenile and Women's Choirs. After the show was broadcast, "The Mountains and Rivers Are Alive" became very popular among the audience, and was widely sung by choirs all over the country and transplanted into animated films, propaganda films, and even square dance music.
"The Mountains and Rivers are Alive" was written by extracting the tonal material of Shanxi folk songs, with elegant and friendly melody, touching lyrics, and pure chorus of children's voices to express today's young people's deep remembrance of the martyrs of the anti-U.S. war against the U.S.A.R. The martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country, and the heroes who went to war for the country, please rest assured that the heroes will be immortalized, and the mountains and rivers are alive and well, and we will always miss you!
