"1985, the famous poet Zhang Li called me and said,' I like your poem by the sea very much. I tried to write lyrics to it, but it was an instrumental music and it was not well written. Can you write another one? The same mood, but the melody can't be the same!' I happened to be in Beijing at that time, studying in the Central School of Education Administration. So one afternoon, Zhang Li invited me to his house for dinner. It was past 5 pm when I arrived at his house, and my sister-in-law was still busy in the kitchen. So I started thinking about melody. According to Zhang Li's request, it's not the upward melody' 51235 ...' but the downward melody of' seaside music poems'. "4010.101000100105
Qin Lao said: "After the creation, Zhang Wei put it in his pocket for half a year. Once Zhang Li went to Guangxi, she kept thinking about words on the way, so that cigarette butts burned a hole in the pillow of the sleeper without noticing it. When I arrived in Guangxi, I stayed in a guest house, got up early the next morning and opened the window. There is a mountain in front of me, and there is a river under it. The beautiful scenery suddenly opened his inspiration, so the words' I can't live without my motherland for a moment' flowed everywhere. I sang about every mountain, every river ... and suddenly came to him. "
