He is a poet, especially famous for his lyrics. Our real face-to-face communication has taken place for nearly a year or two. It was an early summer night and we met by chance at a friend's house. The white hair has climbed up to his sideburns, and he in front of him is no longer the vigorous and youthful young man who wrote "Advance in the Footprints of a Martyr". The kind gaze from behind the glasses and his unhurriedness The elegant and refined conversation gives people a kind of affinity and a kind of experience. After all, he is an old man over 70.

Xiaohe has shown sharp corners

Lu Yongchun was born in Nanjing in July 1942 in Wencheng County, Zhejiang Province, and then returned to Nanjing with his father. His father is a staff member of the Salt Administration Bureau and his mother is a primary school teacher. Before he went to elementary school, his mother had taught him to read Tang poems and Song Ci and memorized the "Guanzhi of Ancient Prose". In the first half of 1958, Nanjing Teachers' Training College compiled and printed two city-wide "Selected Works of Middle School Students". Lu Yongchun, a third-year junior high school student, had three poems selected, one of which was a long poem with more than 100 lines. sensation. He also received letters from more than a dozen classmates from other schools to exchange his experience in studying literature. This experience was regarded by Lu Yongchun as the beginning of his creative career. After graduating from high school, he was assigned to work as a teacher in Liulujing Primary School in Qinhuai District. In early 1964, in order to prepare the whole school for teachers and students to go to the Yuhuatai Martyrs’ Cemetery to sweep the tomb, Lu Yongchun composed a recitation poem "Advance in the Footprints of the Martyrs": "Cross over the hills and walked over the green lawn. The red scarf came to the tomb of the martyrs..." I sent this poem to the Chinese Musicians Association and it was soon published in the "Lyrics" publication. It was only after many years that he learned that the editor who chose this poem was Mr. Wang Jian, a famous female lyrics writer in my country. It can be said that she was the first guide in the life of Lu Yongchun's lyrics. Later, the song was composed by Liu Zhuang, a composer of the Central Orchestra, and it was first broadcast and taught in the "Star Torch" program of China National Radio. This song, sung by the Children's Choir of China Central People's Broadcasting Station, quickly became popular all over the country, and was selected by China Youth Daily, Children's Times, Songs, and China Recording Agency. In 1964, the relevant central authorities designated this song as a patriotic educational song for the National Children's Ching Ming Festival to commemorate the revolutionary martyrs, and was then included in the national elementary school music textbooks. In January 1965, the "Song" magazine commentator article listed five songs including "Advancing in the Footsteps of Martyrs", "We Walk on the Road" and "Revolutionaries Are Always Young", and listed them as "Revolutionary Songs Created by my country in Recent Years" New harvest". In 2007, this song was included in the classic song collection "Ode to the Great Party" compiled by the Central Propaganda Department and the China Music Association. Songs are like years, and years are like songs. Although nearly 50 years have passed, this song familiar to millions of people still remains in people's memory. Nowadays, as long as you search on Baidu, there are more than 10,000 pieces of information about "Advancing in the Footsteps of Martyrs". Among them, there are those who search for music scores because of thinking about this song, some who reminisce about wearing a red scarf while singing this song, and those who record and sing and release the recording of this song. Teachers in many schools across the country are still teaching this song, and some cities still use it as the theme song of the Qingming Festival commemorating revolutionary martyrs... This cross-century children's song has become a classic of revolutionary traditional education. The practice of writing the lyrics for the first time, Xiaohe has shown the joy of sharp horns, and constantly inspires Lu Yongchun's passion for writing lyrics, and has become his lifelong career. In 1973, Lu Yongchun was spotted by Zhu Pinghui, the curator of the Qinhuai District Cultural Center, and transferred him to the cultural center. In this position, Lu Yongchun worked like a fish in water and did a brilliant job. He created "Uncle Lei Feng Looking at Us Laughing" and other good works that were selected as "The New Song of the Battlefield".

Smile and welcome the spring breeze and spit out the new core

After the end of the "Cultural Revolution", literary and artistic creation ushered in a breezy spring. In October 1981, the Art Bureau of the Ministry of Culture notified Lu Yongchun as a representative of Jiangsu to participate in a national symposium on lyrics creation held in Zhuzhou, Hunan. At this time, Lu Yongchun has been transferred from the district cultural center to NanjingThe song and dance troupe has become a professional lyrics writer, and his lyrics creation has entered a mature and productive period. Lu Yongchun portrays a colorful life in a gentle and fresh style. There are the splendid customs of the homeland, the warm chants of the motherland, the innocent love affair of young people, and the innocent and innocent children. "The biggest advantage of his lyrics works is that his frank attitude to the world makes his art always start from the truth, and strive to discover the truth, goodness and beauty in the world he is familiar with, so as to infect people with beauty." (Chen Feng, Chinese Contemporary Lyrics "History") Lu Yongchun seems to be particularly fond of writing Jiangnan, "Evening in a fishing village", "Small village in the depths of white clouds", "I love Jiangnanchun", "Loquats are ripe", then "White Sails" and "Mountain Springs"... A passionate song flows from the pen. Jiangnan, like water, gave him the same emotion as water. Reading Lu Yongchun's lyrics and singing Lu Yongchun's songs, I always feel that the motherland is particularly lovely, the hometown is particularly lovely, the youth is particularly lovely, and everything in the world is so lovely. In the face of the colorful spring, Lu Yongchun wrote another masterpiece of his "This is My Motherland": The land here is colorful and vast, with green leaves in spring, golden fruits in autumn, and spring everywhere in winter. The wind here is sentimental and gentle, with fragrance of flowers, laughter, and joyous songs. What is this place? This is my motherland!

This is a poem and a song. Make people's minds full of poetry and picturesque. We can see Qili's philosophical philosophy and passionate literary talent; see his deep attachment and hear his heartfelt laugh. The theme is so clear and the wording is so accurate. Although it was written in the 1980s, there is no sense of “outdated” at all. It is a hymn to the current construction of a harmonious society. After the composer stated Liu's composer, this poem was sung by a young singer at the time and won the first place in the Bel Canto professional group of the second CCTV Young Singer Competition. A year later, in the two finals of the third Youth Song Competition Bel Canto professional group and amateur group, seven singers chose to sing this song. Singer Zhang Jianyi , Dai Yuqiang, Wang Feng, Wei Song, You Dexiang and others have sung successively. Since then, this song has been selected as a textbook by dozens of institutions including the Central Conservatory of Music, Shanghai Conservatory of Music, and Guangzhou Xinghai Conservatory of Music. Version of the album.

After the wind and rain, the peach is sweeter.

Talking about Lu Yongchun's lyrics, we can't help but mention his "Selling Honey Peach" that caused an uproar in the lyrics world. It was the spring of 1983, and the Chinese Music Association organized a group of songwriters to live in rural areas in southern Jiangsu. At the fair of Dongting Mountain in Taihu Lake, Lu Yongchun saw a group of rural girls going to the market, their toned figures and happy smiles showed the new life and new style of the countryside after the reform and opening up. For this reason, Lu Yongchun wrote the lyrics "Selling Peaches": A pole with two heads up/two baskets of peaches on the shoulders/girls are sweet and beautiful/faces are like May peaches/"Selling peaches"/sound of water Ling’s cry/a sweet smile/makes the town drunk/

a pole with two heads up/two baskets on the shoulders of a department store/peaches sold out and go home/leave a back for the guy/"Peach sweet唻"/The young man screamed so sweetly/The girl pretended not to hear it/Just a bunch of songs and floated gently/

This is a healthy and fresh sketch of a water village in the south of the Yangtze River. However, a year after it was published, someone raised a question in the Chinese Music Association's "Poetry Journal": "Is this a peach or a good one?" They even criticized the ideological nature of this poem. For this reason, many newspapers and periodicals across the country launched a six-month-long debate, and many newspapers and periodicals made relevant reports. In a large number of disputes, different people have different opinions. Six months later, the "Song" magazine published a song composed of this word again, giving a fair answer to the dispute. Then, solo actor Yue Na of Jinan Song and Dance Troupe sang this song in the first national youth folk song and popular song contest and won the "Golden Peacock Cup" award.
