Creation background
1955, director Gong Yan asked Liu Chi to compose music for the film Flowers of the Motherland, and Liu Chi gladly agreed. One day in July of the same year, directors Gong Yan and Su Li led all the members of the film crew and a large group of children (actors and masses in the film) aged 12 to experience life in Beihai Park, followed by composer Liu Chi, who had a sudden inspiration when playing with the children.
So, on a big stone in this small peninsula where rhinoceroses look at the moon, Liu Chi started his writing with his legs as a table. Completed the solo part and children's chorus part of "Let's paddle", and spent more than ten minutes to revise and gradually improve the song.
Liu Chi asked the director to gather the children and sing for everyone. After hearing this, the children clapped their hands and said, "It was nice to sing about our feelings on the boat just now." Music truly shows the children's mood, interest, joy and happiness, which makes Liu Chi very satisfied.
