The Creative Background of The Story of Spring

1992 In the spring, in Muling County, Heilongjiang Province, Jiang Kairu, then vice chairman of the county party committee, was holding a newspaper and was attracted by the report that "the oriental wind is full of spring". 1979, Jiang Kairu passed through Shenzhen on his way to visit relatives in Hong Kong. In his mind, Shenzhen is a small village, and now it has become a modern new city in the blink of an eye? Shocked, he decided to go and see for himself.

In the streets of Shenzhen, Jiang Kairu felt the breath of developing spring, and the full lyrics were mixed with the fragrance of spring, so it flowed out.

1994, Guangdong Youth Song Creation Competition was held. In Shenzhen Division, The Story of Spring, written by Jiang Kairu and composed by Wang Yougui, was unsuccessful. They are a little depressed, hoping to find a master to bring this work back to life. At this time, Wang Yougui thought of Ye Xuquan, then deputy director of Shen Dong Water Affairs Bureau and member of the Standing Committee of Guangdong Youth Federation. At that time, Ye Xuquan was already an amateur poet active in Shenzhen.

Ye Xuquan looked at the lyrics carefully and said, "This is really a good blank. There may be a hope of being selected after pruning. Let me try. " Immediately, he began to create in terms of structure, conception and wording. The classic "It was a spring in 1979, and an old man drew a circle on the South China Sea in China" that everyone heard in later lyrics came from this creation.
