Album: My Motherland. Nanniwan
The flowers in the flower basket are fragrant, listen to me sing
Sing and sing, I came to Nanniwan
Nanniwan is a good place, good A good place brings good scenery
A good place brings good scenery
There are crops and cattle and sheep everywhere. Nanniwan in those days was everywhere
It was everywhere It is a barren mountain with no human habitation
Today’s Nanniwan is different from previous years
It is different from previous years. Today’s Nanniwan is different from previous years
In general, it is no longer the same as before
It is the good Jiangnan in northern Shaanxi, the good Jiangnan in northern Shaanxi
Flowers are blooming all over the mountain, blooming all over the mountain
Learn that Nanniwan, it’s Jiangnan everywhere
It’s Jiangnan, fighting and producing
The 359th Brigade is a model, let’s move forward
Model of sending flowers

Creative background
He Jingzhi created "Nanniwan"
Since 1942, The earth-shaking changes in Nanniwan strongly attracted many famous people, who came to visit in an endless stream and wrote many poems. More than 20 poems by the famous patriotic general Fan Ting, "Miscellaneous Odes of Nanni", the poem "I Came to Nanniwan Twice" by the famous poet Xiao San, and the prose "Remembering General Wang Zhen" by the poet He Qifang, etc., are all related to The achievements of Nanniwan reclamation were highly praised.
In 1943, the military-civilian mass production movement in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region gradually reached its climax. As a "production model", the 359th Brigade became famous in the border region. This year, the military and civilians of Yan'an carefully prepared condolences and brought cultural and artistic programs to Nanniwan to express their condolences to all the officers and soldiers of the 359th Brigade. When the Yan'an Lu Xun Art College Yangko Team was responsible for preparing cultural programs, they thought of rehearsing a program related to the 359th Brigade.
After a lot of hard thinking, the creators finally conceived a Yangko dance called "Flower Basket", in which 8 actresses carried 8 pairs of flower baskets and performed on the stage accompanied by an interlude with lyrics. The last section is called "Nanniwan".
After receiving the task of writing lyrics for the episode, the poet He Jingzhi combined his deep understanding and experience of the military-civilian mass production movement in the border area, especially the 359th Brigade's reclamation of Nanniwan, to fully prepare and complete it in one go. The lyrics were written, and Ma Ke composed the music for it using the style of northern Shaanxi folk songs.
The Yangko dance "Flower Basket" was extremely popular among all the officers and soldiers of the 359th Brigade during the condolence performance in Nanniwan. Wang Zhen happily walked onto the stage, shook hands with the actors of the show one by one, and took photos with them. This is how the song "Nanniwan" was born.
Later, with the tour performance of "Flower Basket" in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, especially after it was sung by Guo Lanying, the song quickly became popular in the border region and spread throughout the country. The artistic life of Guo Lanying, a famous singer of a generation, also started from this.
