Creation background
One day in 1980, Yu Yang, the director of the film Passengers in Handcuffs, called Wang Liping and asked him if he would like to make music for his film. He said that if this song is written, Wang Liping will open the door to feature film music creation, and only success will be allowed. Although it was a joke, Wang Liping still felt the weight.
But when reading the script, Wang Liping is a little different. At that time, the popular singing method of following the trend was in the ascendant, but the characters and theme of this film decided that its music could not be foreign-style and follow the trend. At that time, the crew was in a small place in Yunnan, and Wang Liping had to take a bus for five days and five nights from Yunnan to the location of the crew. Camel bells were created in these five days.
