Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAt CCTV's 1985 Spring Festival Gala, Hou Dejian sang "The Descendants of the Dragon", which was widely acclaimed. In 2000, singer Wang Leehom covered the descendants of the dragon in the album "The First Day of Eternity", which became the version sung by young people. In 2012, Wang Leehom once again brought the song to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

And the first experience of this song is also full of twists and turns on earth.

In that era of the earth, in 1978, the United States and the Taiwan authorities "severed diplomatic relations", Hou Dejian, who was studying at Taiwan's National Chengchi University at the time, did not take it seriously with the "pathos" around him, in his opinion, since the Opium War in 1840, the Chinese have been shrouded in pathos, restrained by foreigners, he was angry at this cowardly pathos, wrote "The Descendants of the Dragon".

"The contradictions and conflicts between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are disputes between brothers, and foreigners cannot be allowed to sow discord and profit from them." Hou Dejian recalled the original intention of the creation and said: "Of course, it is a patriotic song that promotes nationalism, but my patriotism and nationalism are different from what many people think, and they are very different from the Taiwan authorities at that time. ”

At that time, it was the climax of the wave of campus folk songs in Taiwan, Hou Dejian was an important figure in it, and "Descendants of the Dragon" was soon recorded on Xinge Records, which is known for excavating campus folk songs, and was sung by Li Jianfu. Ten days later, Taiwan's United Daily News published the full text of the lyrics, in which the phrase "embattled is the sword of slaves" was changed to "the sword of appeasement."

Hou Dejian couldn't help but laugh, and he believed that the reason for the revision was that some people thought that the word "slave" was too sensitive and not conducive to boosting morale. Soon after the birth of "The Descendants of the Dragon", ****** gave a speech to students who were undergoing military training in Chenggong Ling, and the title was simply "The Descendants of the Dragon". For "The Descendants of the Dragon", ****** added another paragraph after the third paragraph of the original word to express the fighting spirit of self-improvement. The lyrics included phrases such as "don't be surprised when things change" and "solemn and self-reliant," and government officials conveyed their intention to revise them through the record company, and Hou Dejian made it clear that he was "unacceptable."

was not reconciled, first asked someone to invite Hou Dejian and Li Jianfu to the office, praised the creation of the two young people, and then invited Hou Dejian's teachers and elders to have a meal, and proposed to let everyone help persuade Hou Dejian to revise the lyrics.

Hou Dejian's division commanders persuaded ****** on the spot that if they had to express another meaning, it was better to find someone else to write a song. Because Hou Dejian refused to revise "Descendants of the Dragon" according to ******'s intentions, Taiwan's "Kuomintang Cultural Work Committee" (hereinafter referred to as the "Literary and Art Union") began to send people to lobby him, inviting him to write a "Song of the Great Alliance for the Unification of China with the Three People's Principles", and also decided on a singer, Teresa Teng. At that time, although the "Literary Union" was not difficult for a strong man, he did not dare to refuse in person.

In March 1983, Hou Dejian applied to Hong Kong to participate in a demonstration against Japan's revision of textbooks, but was rejected by the Taiwan authorities. At this time, news came from the "Literary Union", and Hou Dejian told his grandfather about it, and his grandfather said that he was afraid that it would be a "Hongmen banquet". Hou Dejian thus made up his mind to leave Taiwan, and since then, "Descendants of the Dragon" has been banned by the Taiwan authorities from being sung publicly on any occasion until 1987, when Taiwan announced the "lifting of martial law". After coming to Beijing, Hou Dejian was arranged in the "Oriental Song and Dance Troupe" led by Wang Kun. In those years, he sang "Descendants of the Dragon" in the performance of the troupe, and he also learned that this song was also very popular in the mainland, including the very popular Hong Kong singer Zhang Mingmin at the time, many singers sang this song in various evenings and performances. Not long after, Hou Dejian had a conflict with the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, so he went south to Guangzhou.

It wasn't until 1988 that the then vice minister of radio, film, and television heard about Hou Dejian's experience and recommended Hou Dejian to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala to sing "Descendants of the Dragon", which was the Year of the Dragon in the Chinese lunar calendar. That year's Spring Festival Gala had already been broadcast live, and many rehearsals had been held before.

"I think they're trying to make sure it's safe to broadcast and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it." Hou Dejian recalled that almost every sentence of the Spring Festival Gala was written in advance.

But during a rehearsal, the host Wei Hua suddenly took off the script and asked impromptuly: "Why do you say that Chinese are so fond of dragons?" Hou Dejian replied: "In the Chinese zodiac, the other eleven animals were created by God, only the dragon was created by the Chinese themselves, and I hope that the Chinese will have more new creations in the Year of the Dragon." The improvisation, which was not originally in the script, was considered very good by the director, and was used in the live broadcast on Chinese New Year's Eve.

That night, Hou Dejian held a guitar and performed the song in a slow, lyrical way - Li Jianfu's debut version used a march rhythm, and Hou Dejian had always disliked the song being accompanied by a high-spirited march rhythm, so he himself would change to a soothing lyrical rhythm when singing on various occasions.

This is Hou Dejian's version, atmospheric, deep, and soothing, so after the song This World was taken out by Li Youyang, the chorus of the first half of the song was Hou Dejian's version, the original flavor, and even the lyrics have not changed, after all, the same history, in the land of China a hundred years ago, the two worlds were the same rumbling cannons, suffering from the invasion of foreign powers!

However, the situation after the founding of the People's Republic of China is different, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the unification of China was completely completed, so the background of the creation of this song on the earth does not exist in this world. In this world, the land of China is truly rich and strong, with a high degree of unity, and it can be said that in addition to the United States, it is another world pole that truly stands in the East!

Therefore, in this world, the national ideology is highly unified, and at the same time, the innate sense of pride, great power feelings and patriotic feelings are incomparable! Therefore, when everyone heard this song "Descendants of the Dragon" at this time, the state that everyone presented, even Li Youyang on the stage was particularly shocked after seeing it!

Because, when they sang to the end, Li Youyang unexpectedly found that the audience, one counts as one, and they all stood up in unison! It's like an iron-blooded army that looks down on all directions, and there is a momentum of wolves looking at the world!

If the scene of the rumbling of cannons a hundred years ago dares to happen in this country again, then all the humiliation and blood debts that have been once will be repaid by tenfold, hundredfold, and thousandfold blood debts! If you dare to come again, then stay all! (To be continued.) )
