Stop the horse here. I look at you,
The long Gobi is like a boundless sea of fire ... "
A song makes a city a memory of all people in China, and a song condenses the memory of all people in China into a history. You may not be familiar with this city, but you are sure to hum the melody of this song. In this melodious note, you are bound to open the floodgate of emotion, get to know her past lives and work hard for her future with the pace of urban development. It's a famous song of Karamay.
To praise Song of Karamay, we can't help but say that its songwriter, Lv Yuan, is a famous musician.
1956, 25-year-old Lv Yuan works as a creative artist in the Cultural and Art Troupe of the Ministry of Construction. One day, he saw the mysterious name "Karamay" on the information, and he looked for it on the map, but he couldn't find it for a long time. At that time, Karamay was a deserted place, and oil had just been discovered underground. In his imagination, there is only endless blue sky and beach, a place that fascinates him.
1958 In March, Lv Yuan came to the site of Lanzhou Refinery with his beloved lyre and violin on his back. At that time, it was the Great Leap Forward era, and Lv Yuan was infected by this fiery labor scene. After work, he often plays the piano and sings with the workers, who like him very much. One day, an old master gave him the key to the shed door and a bike to concentrate on his creation. The simple "special treatment" of the workers deeply touched Lu Yuan. He can't forget his true feelings for the workers and what singers Lv Wenke and Zhu Chongmao said to him when they left Beijing: "When you go to the northwest, you must write a song. The content is best to be a singer who walks on the land of the motherland and sings the changes of the motherland with his heart. "
Lv Yuan often wondered how he could write such a song. Because of the special relationship between Lanzhou Refinery and Karamay Oilfield at that time, Lv Yuan turned his creative vision to Junggar Basin in the northwest, and started the creation of Song of Karamay on the dusty construction site. At that time, radio and newspapers broadcast news about Karamay from time to time, which encouraged him. He began to pay attention to every news and achievement in Karamay, collect all kinds of information about Karamay, and understand the situation of Karamay people working in Lanzhou refinery site. In particular, I saw a documentary on a construction site. In the film, Karamay oilfield is magnificent and desolate, the ghost town is strange and strange, and the oil workers work hard, which makes him full of passion and yearning for this land. He even wants to secretly ride a bike to Xinjiang to get creative inspiration. Since then, he has devoted himself to the bedding of the work shed, trying to play his dreams and obsessions about Karamay through the lyre and record them through the staff. Slowly, the paper has the echo of oil flow, the horseshoe, the combination of notes and the rhythm of melody. Formed the embryonic form of "Song of Karamay".
Before auditioning for the workers, this summer, a piece of paper brought Lv Yuan back to Beijing. Later, he gave Song of Karamay to singers Lv Wenke and Zhu Chongmao, and Lv Wenke sang Song of Karamay for the first time in Beijing. China national radio first played this song on 1959. Since then, this song has spread rapidly on the motherland. The Song of Karamay, first sung by Lv Wenke, echoed the songs of hundreds of millions of people in the motherland:
"Karamay, I think song for you, I want to run near you.
You are the pearl of the northwest. ...
I will work harder for your construction,
Make our northwest more beautiful,
Ah, Karamay, I love you! "
