Song title: elegy of educated youth
Lyrics
The sound of geese came from the boundless darkness. I have something passionate to say to Ana.
Goose, please stop. Please send a letter and tell my Ana that I am thinking of her.
I was with you last night on the river. Happy, sweet and pure love stirs my heart.
It's over, farewell, and joy is gone. Leaving happy and painful memories bound my heart.
life has gone with the wind for the past half of my life. Seeing that autumn has gone and winter has come, snowflakes are flying.
people in the world laugh at me and I don't have a lover. My youth will be buried. Who sympathizes with me?
I saw you in my sleep, but I didn't see you when I woke up. I have pain and sadness, and I don't know who to tell.
Dear Ana, come to my side. Live together from now on and never part.
the sound of geese came from the boundless darkness. I have something passionate to say to Ana.
Goose, please stop. Please send a letter and tell my Ana that I am thinking of her.
Ana who told me, I miss her.
This is a song written by Liu Wanchao to commemorate the 48th anniversary of educated youth's trip to the Great Northern Wilderness. The singer is Qu Liyuan (the second generation of educated youth).
Under the situation that the educated youth groups have different opinions on the feelings and cognition of the history of going to the countryside, how to be impartial is a problem that needs serious consideration in song creation. A vigorous movement of educated youth to the countryside has made many young people lose themselves and make them unable to help themselves. Just like a drop of water in the flood peak, they drift with the tide and push their fate into an unknown world. Their weak age and body bear the burden they should not have borne, so helpless and helpless.
This is a knot that has been haunting the educated youth for years. It is also the reason for the inner "resentment" and "hate" of educated youth. If the song is written according to this idea or caters to this emotion, it will certainly sing out the sadness of suffering. Obviously, this is not the whole idea of educated youth, nor is it what today's educated youth need.
