The song Song of Nanjing Educated Youth was composed by Ren Yi and sung by Liang Zhou. It is included in the album "Don't Guess Girls' Mind" released by Jinsong Music 201510 on October 26th. The album * * * contains 14 songs.
1One night in late May, 969, the educated youth once again crowded into Renyi's hut and tried to sing the songs they could sing in turn. After singing, everyone still felt empty. At this time, a friend of Ren Yi's, Tang Youlong, suddenly stood up and said to Ren Yi, "Workers have workers' songs and farmers have farmers' songs. Either one, just write a song of our educated youth. "
His words touched Ren Yi greatly. That night, Ren Yi wrote "Song of Nanjing Educated Youth" with guitar music and wrote it all night. The next morning, the song was finally sung. He wrote down the singing requirements on the music score: "Deep, slow and homesick." Then, I noticed-the collective lyrics of Nanjing No.5 Middle School.
Songs of the same type
The song "My Hometown" was immediately copied and spread among the educated youth at an alarming rate. After the summer harvest, anyone who heard someone singing this song on the boat back to Nanjing went over and deliberately asked, "What are you singing?" Those people disdainfully answered him: "You look like an educated youth, why don't you even know this song?" This is called "Song of Educated Youth"! "
When writing this song, he dared not call it the song of educated youth, because there was neither lofty sentiments nor lofty ideals here. It just expresses the homesickness of the educated youth and the strong sense of loss of the educated youth as a special class who does not work, farm, serve as a soldier or study.
At that time, this kind of emotion was absolutely not allowed to be expressed in public, and it could only praise the countryside and even express joy. Ren Yi's songs are popular precisely because they express people's true feelings and situations in a melancholy tone. In a sense, Ren Yi's creation is a prelude to Cui Jian's rock and roll, and his helplessness and sadness are the common characteristics of a generation of precocious young people.
