Li Shutong's works include poetry, calligraphy, painting and seal cutting. His music is mainly composed of lyrics and music, including Spring Tour, Early Autumn and Farewell. After liberation, Li Shutong and songji, Cold Collection, Four Modernizations and other books were published 10.
This is my discovery of Li Shutong. When I was young, I read a biography about him, which can be called a legend of my life.
He also sang his "Pian Song", also called "Farewell Song", which I liked very much. The lyrics were written by Li Shu, but the music came from a popular American song "Dream of Home and Mother". The combination of lyrics and music is very good, and it doesn't feel that music comes from a foreign country at all. The lyrics are like this:
Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is blue. The evening breeze blows the flute, and the sunset is beyond the mountain.
The horizon, the horizon, intimate friends are half scattered. A ladle of turbid wine makes me happy. Say goodbye to Meng Han tonight.
The lyrics and songs are beautiful, which is a perfect match.
