A young man who just turned 30 threw a postcard into the mailbox on the side of the road. The handwriting on the card is delicate and pretty, less than 200 words in total, like a poem, more like a lyric poem. In mid-March this year, young people were invited to CCTV. It turned out that the works on his postcard participated in the lyrics collection of "The Story of the Yangtze River" and stood out from 4583 works, but he knew nothing about it at that time. On the evening of 24th, in the studio of CCTV, Chen Duo and Hong Yun, the hosts of the special concert "The Story of the Yangtze River", took the stage and mysteriously said, "I can tell you that the lyricist of the theme song is in the studio now, among you. However, at this moment, he is still in the dark and doesn't know that he has been elected! " Chen Duo and Hongyun walked slowly towards the audience in the eager eyes of all. They stopped in front of a young man in a military uniform and said, "The lyricist is this young soldier-Comrade Hu Hongwei! Introduce yourself! " In a flash, the camera, recording microphone and video recorder all came together. Hu Hongwei was obviously unprepared, and his face flushed bright red. Just now, he thought that this time the TV station invited him to join in. He even speculated that the winner should be a famous artist or someone who lives on the edge of the Yangtze River. He said shyly, "I am the creator of shenyang military area command Song and Dance Troupe." Hongyun smiled and handed the microphone to her mouth: "Comrade Hu Hongwei, everyone must want to know, what are you thinking at this moment?" "I'm not ready, suddenly. For example, my mood now is like a stream that has just come out of the valley to the river. The great river here refers to nothing but the old-timers and young colleagues present here, as well as the tens of millions of viewers in Qian Qian who are sitting in front of the TV and watching the party with us at the moment. " Just after this day, with "you came from ancient times, the waves washed away the dust ... we praise the Yangtze River, you are an endless source; We are connected to the Yangtze River, and you have the feelings of a mother ... "Hu Hongwei's name is also known to hundreds of millions of people. Hu Hongwei's works won the Best Creation Award in this solicitation activity. Some insiders said that according to the usual order of song creation, first write words and then compose music, but this time on the contrary, it is quite difficult to create. Hu Hongwei's works are full of poetry and painting, which are completely consistent with the beautiful melody of the theme song of The Story of the Yangtze River. The judges praised that the Yangtze River in the eyes of the lyricist has become a living river, a river that blends with people's thoughts and feelings, a river that is closely related to people's lives and full of infinite vitality, and sings the deep affection of children of all ethnic groups for the Yangtze River, singing its long history and its youthful vitality, which is very ideological and artistic. Many people even want to know who Hu Hongwei is and what he has to do with the Yangtze River. In this regard, Hu Hongwei said that it was all because of his "date" with the Yangtze River. It was the autumn of 198 1, and Hu Hongwei traveled to the south of the Yangtze River. Sitting on the train and marching on the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, I saw the breadth and rolling waves of the Yangtze River, and the passion of creation violently impacted his heart. "At that time, I thought of the distant source of the Yangtze River. I think that the Yangtze River has been flowing for thousands of years, and two words come to my mind:' You are from the snow-capped mountains, and you are from history. Fortunately, on 1983, CCTV broadcasted The Story of the Yangtze River, and Hu Hongwei became a "die-hard" audience of the program. Through this TV series, Hu Hongwei's understanding of the Yangtze River has become more and more real and profound, and his creative inspiration is like a raging river: "I remember that the first picture at the beginning of the film is water drops dripping from a glacier, followed by a rushing river, so there is the first sentence' You are coming from a snowy mountain'; At the end of the film, the vast Yangtze River estuary reminds me of' you ran to the East China Sea'; There is also the gap between the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, which has caused the river to skyrocket. It is' stormy waves are your spirit'. " After two days of brewing, Hu Hongwei wrote two paragraphs of lyrics of 18. To his surprise, Song of the Yangtze River not only spread all over the country, but also spread among overseas Chinese. After winning the prize, Hu Hongwei became more obsessed with creation. Over the years, his works have won more than 200 creative awards from the whole country and the whole army. Not long ago, his "Harmonious Garden" was designated as the anthem of China Shenyang World Horticultural Exposition, and "You, Me and Him, Come and Join" became the only award-winning song with the theme of volunteers in the 2008 Olympic Games. He said that people will not get old if they catch up with the times, and the fiery life is his inexhaustible creative power and source.
