Xerox's music creation activities began in the early 1940s. When I was at Lu Xun Art College in Yan 'an, I composed songs such as Defending Moscow, and participated in the creation of Yangko Opera Revenge with Blood and Tears and Zhou Zishan. During this period, he mainly engaged in conducting and social music. The main creative activities are after 1949.

The solo song "A Set of Ma Sanniu" is based on two phrases of Henan pendant "Dashiban". The chorus "Huang Jiguang, the Immortal Warrior" is a combination of the timbre of the northern folk art drum and the allegro rhythm of Beijing Opera, and is created by using the artistic technique of chorus.

Xerox died in Beijing on June 6, 2008 at the age of 93.

Business experience

When xerox is mentioned, people will associate it with the song "Singing Erlang Mountain" and "Long March". Le Meng wrote a large number of revolutionary songs in his life, which had a wide influence among the masses. In his many years of creation, he has always paid attention to absorbing the rich nutrition of folk music and making it glow with new charm. His famous work "Three Sets of Niu Yi Horses" is based on the timbre material of Henan pendant "Dashboard". 1950' s "Singing Erlang Mountain" was adapted from Xinyang folk song in Dabie Mountain area.

1952, Xerox _ was awarded the title of "Composer of China People's Liberation Army" by the General Political Department, and was also the winner of "Golden Bell Award" of China Music Lifetime Achievement Award. 1963 ~ 1964 At the beginning of this year, the large-scale music and dance epic "Dongfanghong" appeared on the capital stage, and * * * featured seven songs, including "The Song of Benevolence" and "The People of the World Unite".

/kloc-recorded the musical film of Yellow River Chorus in the summer of 0/955, with Xerox as the conductor.

1952, Xerox _ was awarded the title of "Composer of China People's Liberation Army" by the General Political Department. He created a large number of works in his life, such as the suite Leaping a Thousand Miles to Dabie Mountain, chorus long live the motherland, Long March, Lei Feng, Bound Black Dragon, chorus Red Army misses Mao Zedong, immortal soldier Huang Jiguang, opera and so on. The famous music scene opens a new music career.

Xerox, a composer, conductor and winner of the China Golden Bell Lifetime Achievement Award, died in Beijing at the age of 93. In recent years, with the death of Wang Xin, Qu Xixian, Qiu Li and others, these artists who started the new music career in China are even more memorable.

When I contacted Han Shi, the son of Xerox, and mentioned his father's life, Han Shi broke down in tears on the phone. "My father and I don't communicate much at ordinary times, and our feelings are particularly deep. He is a kind and friendly old man. When he was in hospital, he was very kind to the doctors and nurses who took care of him. Wake up from a coma, and don't forget to thank the doctors and nurses and invite them to dinner. My father has many friends. He never acts like an elder. According to him, it is a buddy. " Han Shi said that Shi Lao's personality is very balanced and comfortable. Although he has been in poor health since he was in his 80 s, his physical condition has been very stable. One of them stopped breathing and was rescued, which was a great blow to the old man's health. This time, he finally didn't survive.

Li Shuangjiang, a famous singer, has a deep affection for Xerox, and he felt particularly sad when he heard the news of Xerox's death. "I am his old subordinate and visit him every year. I respect him as I respect my father. The songs he created were very touching, and the melody that rolled out of his heart was so close to the soldiers and the people that it gave us such great strength. " Li Shuangjiang couldn't help singing some melodies written by Shi Lao, such as "Three Sets of Niu Yi Horses" and "Singing Erlang Mountain". Li Shuangjiang also recalled his concern for himself. "He is very kind and sincere. I remember when I transferred from Xinjiang to Beijing, he was the director of the vocal music class of the People's Liberation Army. He took good care of me, especially during the special period of the Cultural Revolution. He did his best to protect many young singers. " "His requirements for life are always the lowest, but his requirements for work are always the highest." Li Shuangjiang repeated this sentence many times.

Bian Zushan, a famous conductor, was on a business trip in other places and specially expressed his condolences to Xerox's family. "We all grew up listening to old songs, and now we can still remember how we felt when we heard those songs. The music career of New China was initiated by this generation of great artists, and we are all descendants enjoying the cool. " . Bian Zushan specifically mentioned that since 2004, a famous conductor has left them every year. "They are all our wealth. I sincerely hope that these old artists will take care of themselves."

Music critic Chen is an old fan. "Although he was very old, his death still shocked me. No one in his 40 s and 50 s doesn't know his songs. His songs were popular at that time and were widely sung. He is a talented musician. His musical language is very personal and popular, and his lyrics are closely combined with tunes. Although he hasn't written for many years, he has always been respected in the music industry. He was angular when he was young, and the older he got, the more peaceful and kind he became. He is a gentle and kind old man. "

Shostakovich praised

When xerox is mentioned, people will associate it with the Long March. In the creation of Xerox, he wrote down his love for the motherland and people with a string of notes. As early as 1952, Xerox was awarded the title of "Composer of China People's Liberation Army" by the General Political Department, and was also the winner of "Golden Bell Award and Lifetime Achievement Award" in the music industry of China. 1959, the chorus "long live the motherland" written by Shi Lao for the 0/0 anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China was praised by the music master Shostakovich. From 1963 to the beginning of 1964, the large-scale music and dance epic Dongfanghong was put on the capital stage, and seven of its works were selected. Shi Lao has been in poor health since he was over 80 years old. Once he stopped breathing and was rescued by a doctor.

Xerox _ Wang Lijun's Happy Marriage Before Love.

1in the winter of 983, Xerox visited Japan in front of Premier Zhou's poem tablet in Lanshan, Kyoto.

Xerox _:1965438+Born in 2006, Henan. He used to be the vice chairman of China Musicians Association, the chairman of China Light Music Society, the vice president of PLA Art College, and the head of the Song and Dance Troupe of the General Political Department. After hearing the news that the large-scale music and dance epic "Dongfanghong" will be rehearsed and reappeared on the stage, I can't help thinking of the music master Mr. Xerox. In the music creation of Dongfanghong, * * selected seven songs composed in that year, such as Yihe Song, Anyuan Road Miners' Club Song, Sunlight over Zunyi City, Red Army Missing Mao Zedong, Crossing Snow Mountain Grassland, Flying over Natural Hazards, and Uniting the People in the World, which have been sung among the crowd for decades.

Shi Lao's home is in the building area of Huayuan East Road, Haidian District, Beijing. When the weather is fine, Shi Lao often basks in the sun in a wheelchair. Standing behind him is his wife Wang Lijun, who has been with him for 55 years.

I always think that as an artist, there must be romantic love experiences, but the love story between Luck and Wang Lijun is so dull. 1949 In February, on the eve of the People's Liberation Army's attack on the Yangtze River, Wang Lijun, who was only 17 years old, joined the Western Henan Military Region Art Troupe headed by Xerox _. With the help of the army chief, Xerox and Wang Lijun borrowed the blue bricks from the common people, and simply arranged them into a new house, where a couple held hands for 56 years. Before they got married, they had time to spend their honeymoon in * * *, and they crossed the Yangtze River with the Second Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army led by Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping, moved to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, marched into the southwest, and liberated all China. When I mention this history, I still can't hide my joy: "I married her (Wang Lijun) and didn't fall in love, but until now we have never quarreled and got married!"

As time goes by, I have unconsciously entered old age. Because of their age, now they can only choose some light exercise that suits them according to their own abilities. He believes that nourishing the heart and morality is the best way for the elderly to keep in good health. Pointing to the lawn under his feet, he said: "People's hearts are also green grass, and it is necessary to clean and weed frequently to become beautiful. Weeds here refer to some troubles and unhappiness that are easy to accumulate. The trick to weeding is to forget. Forgetting is a breeze that dispels dark clouds and an expert in purifying the mind. With it, life will be sunny and life will have a bright and calm mood. Learning to forget is a sign of detachment, elegance, firmness, self-confidence and vitality. Of course, while clearing away those things that should be forgotten, we should also be good at remembering those real and beautiful people and things that can inspire us to move forward, so that the garden of the soul will always be full of vitality. In this way, if you don't forget gratitude, roots and righteousness, you can live a relaxed, chic and comfortable life. " Listening to the old story, I feel that this is a well-written lyric, a song of the soul who understands life.

People should be old, not old-hearted. Not long ago, Li Jun, an old Wang Man, wrote a lyric: "The wheelchair pushes slowly and turns slowly, and the grass is green in the breeze. Pushing is a blessing, warm and harmonious with each other. " He liked this lyric very much and soon set it to music. The two old people often sing this song together, which shows that they are still intoxicated in the years of "getting married first and then falling in love". After more than half a century of contact and running-in, both parents are completely familiar with each other, not to mention their living rules and eating habits, but also their emotional changes and symptoms. They are each other's health care doctors, reminding each other to check on time, take medicine on time, depend on each other and take care of each other.

Personal anecdote

Anecdotes about marriage and love

Shi, a famous musician, studied at Yan 'an University. In Lu Yi, there is a joke about "Three Principles of Love and Time".

Xerox _ A recent photo of him and his wife Wang Lijun. At that time, Xerox was a little older among her classmates, so people were particularly concerned about her marriage. Once, I introduced him to a star. Although she is beautiful, she is frivolous. Hearing this, she waved her hand again and again: no, no, man is not an animal. We also introduced another activist who carried out Kang Shengji's "Left" line. When he was decent, he hated this kind of "athlete". So, he shook his head again and again: impossible! This kind of person is terrible, where is the heart of a little woman? The third time, I was kidnapped by my classmate's little brother to meet the same organization worker. Originally, I was in love. Unexpectedly, that girl got an occupational disease. The first time we met, we started the political review! Xerox _ didn't listen to the last three sentences, turned his head and ran away. As he ran, he shouted at his little brothers who were chasing him: sin, sin! Amitabha! I met a female judge! From then on, Shi announced his "three principles of love": first, people; Second, it is a woman; Third, it is a living woman. The story of shoeshine

In the late 1950s, a delegation of musicians from China visited the Soviet Union. Xerox? The chorus of long live the motherland was praised as "with Beethoven's enthusiasm" by Soviet expert Shostakovich. A famous musician in the Soviet Union praised: "This is written by an expert who can write chorus. Although I am white-haired, I still want to learn from the young people in China. Xerox is very pleasant. One day, there was an activity in the evening. In the early afternoon, Xerox whistled and wiped the shoes under the bed. A writing brush is like playing the violin for a while, bowing up and down, and playing the erhu for a while. The leather shoes were polished, and Xerox _ cocked his head and took another look, and put them back neatly with satisfaction. It's time to start, and he and his comrades-in-arms who live in the same room returned to their rooms.

No one paid attention to his comrades-in-arms, so he picked up Xerox _ polished shoes and put them on. He said to himself while wearing it: "The big brother in the Soviet Union is good, socialism is good, and this waiter shines shoes well!" " Xerox is angry. "Dude, you are wearing the wrong one. I just polished it! " "Comrades were shocked, but immediately calmed down:" Dude, you wiped it wrong, thank you! "He smiled smugly. Xerox _ finally found out that I made a wedding dress for others! Originally, he wanted to show off the artist's style, but it was too late to shine shoes again! He shook his head and had to put on his unpainted shoes!

The story of seeing Fujian off

The leaders of the Cultural and Art Troupe of the General Political Department finished the meeting at Xerox's home, and it was already noon. Xerox spat, picked up the spittoon cover and went downstairs to see the guests off. The car has started. Xerox _ got into the car first, with spittoon cover in his hand. "We should go to the show." When the music will not end. "Yes, you should go." The leaders are still thinking. It looks normal, and no one has found anything wrong. The car started slowly. A sudden stop, someone was awakened: "You are old, how did you give it away halfway?" "Oh oh! Forget it, forget it! I get off. " "I'll take you home!" "No, no!" Xerox _ was a little tired with the spittoon cover, so he lifted the spittoon cover and left, and the rhythm of the March sounded at his feet again-he walked forward with a pistol. The cyclist in the street stopped, and the man in the tram poked his head out: Why did this man use the spittoon cover as an umbrella on a sunny day, as if he were attending a military parade? How did they know that this is a great composer? A March is brewing!

Personal evaluation

● Li Shuangjiang (Director of Music Department of PLA Art College): He is a representative of military culture.

Teacher Shi was a representative musician in the army as early as Yan 'an, when he conducted the Yellow River Chorus. When the southwest was liberated, he wrote "Heroes Overcome Dadu River", which played an immeasurable role in promoting the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and communicated the feelings of the people's soldiers and ordinary people, and "Singing Erlang Mountain" is still very classic. Although Dongfanghong is a collective creation, his contribution is indelible. People's war is inseparable from music and will always be a representative figure of military culture. He is the head of the Song and Dance Troupe of the General Political Department and the head of our department, and I am here to replace him. He was very important at an early age, but he never asked for official positions. Shi is always a good father and husband, and his wife is very emotional every time she talks about him. I have had a friendship with him for over 40 years. The day before he left, I suddenly wanted to see him. At that time, he saw me nod and opened his eyes slightly.

Xu Peidong (composer): Shi and I have always been good friends. I always forget to make friends with Shi. In Shi's words, we are "buddies". I went to see him the day before he died. He was wearing a ventilator and was in a coma. Shi Lao's death is a loss to the music industry in China. When he was in the hospital bed, he often joked and was very open-minded. He often has many famous sayings and jokes, such as "If you cure a disease, you will get sick". We always say that he is a good man. He joked that "I am a good person when I lie down and a bad person when I stand up".

Yan Su (poet): Being with him is like a spring breeze.

I just learned the news, but I didn't expect it. Shi Lao is my senior. He was optimistic and simple all his life, and devoted himself to music for China. The most precious thing about being old is that he will always have a high-spirited and optimistic spirit. Whether in wartime or in peacetime, his mind is very young. Being with him feels like a spring breeze. He always feels very powerful and energetic.

● Yang Jiaxun (Professor, Music Department, PLA Art College): "Shoe-shining joke" has spread to this day.

Teachers and students of PLA Art College have a good impression on this old man, because he is decent and devoted to his work. There are still "jokes" about him in military art. When I shine my shoes abroad, I always wipe others'. "This is because he is too absorbed in composing music."
