Extended data:
This song is set in Hainan Island, which reflects the great rivers and mountains that PLA soldiers love, defend and praise the motherland. It is shared by soldiers all over the world. This patriotic feeling is the nature of art, no matter whether you have been to Hainan or not. So they consulted a lot of materials and tried their best to learn more about the customs, natural features and characteristics of fishermen living in Hainan Island.
As can be seen from the song, the lyricist was limited by the red age at that time, and the second was that he didn't visit Hainan in person and really felt the local conditions and customs of the south. He just looked through the information, which focused on understanding the revolutionary history of Hainan Island, so the lyrics presented red Hainan, the island of revolution, rather than the green Hainan and tropical customs in the eyes of tourists now.
For example, in the lyrics, "I love the red cotton tree in Wuzhishan, the Red Army once lit a bonfire under the tree, I love the red rock in Wuzhishan, and the Red Army once sharpened the knife on the stone", "I love the clear spring water of Wanquan River, and the Red Army used river water to cook wild fruits. I love the Wanquan River and the thousands of waves, and the Red Army drives the enemy into the river "and other sentences are empty and inappropriately big.
But in those days, such lyrics were normal and common. You know, mountains and rivers are only the background of the revolution, and they are all used to serve the revolution. Isn't the hat dance in the model drama Red women soldiers, which can best express Hainan's amorous feelings, accompanied by songs praising the revolution? The song sings: "Wanquan River is crystal clear, I knit a hat to send to the Red Army, the army loves the people and supports the army, and the army and the people unite as one family."
