At noon, Li Yange and Fang Yuanchao walked into the cafeteria to prepare for breakfast, and they heard the students in the cafeteria chattering about the "Sino-Portuguese Joint Declaration" signed at the Great Hall of the People yesterday, but what they discussed the most was not the return of Macao, but the treasure island of Xiamen across the sea - Taiwan.

A few people in the dormitory cooked a meal and found a place where no one was sitting down, Fang Yuanchao asked while eating, "Have you read today's newspaper?" The People's Daily said that Macao was going to return to the motherland. ”

Xue Ke was also very excited about this topic: "I heard a few days ago that our Premier Zhao and the Prime Minister of Portugal signed a joint declaration with the Great Hall of the People yesterday, and Macao officially returned to China in December 1999!" Hong Kong has returned, and Macao has also returned, is it going to return to the bend? Recently, I have read in the newspapers that compatriots over there have often returned to their hometowns to visit relatives, is there a trend of this? ”

Fang Yuanchao laughed: "It's best to be like this, the return of Hong Kong in 97, the return of Macao in 99, and the return of 01, when the time comes, our motherland will be intact and truly proud of the world!" ”

Li Yange glanced at the two of them, and a helpless smile hung on the corner of his mouth, the first two were indeed 97 and 99 years, but if he bent the words, there was no news until 2020 before he was reborn, and looking at the situation, I am afraid that there will be no five years or ten years, it is impossible.

"Speaking of which, Macau has been occupied by the Portuguese for more than 100 years, right? Oh no, it should be 300 years old, and I still remember that there was a song of the seven sons written by Mr. Wen Yiduo in the textbook, and I still remember it vividly. ”

Guo Yazhi sighed for a long time, thinking that when he learned about Macao's return, Quanxia Youzhi must be relieved.

Song of the Seven Sons!

As soon as Li Yange heard this, he couldn't help but chant: "Do you know that "Ma Gang" is not my real name? I've been away from you for too long, Mother! ”

Guo Yazhi was stunned, "Yan Ge, haven't you been away from swaddling clothes for too long?" ”

"I changed it." Li Yange was stunned, and realized that it was still ten years before this word was adapted into a song, and now most people read this "Song of the Seven Sons" by recitation.

Xue Ke was surprised: "You changed it to a song?" If you sing it again, it feels pretty good. ”

"Then I'll sing it briefly."

Li Yange has a deep memory of this song, on the day of the return of Macao in 99, he happened to be still in Beijing, participated in the largest return event in Beijing at that time, and at 12 o'clock on December 20, when the People's Liberation Army successfully entered Macao with the military flag, tens of thousands of people sang this song in unison.

"Do you know that Magang is not my real name, I have been away from you for too long, Mother! But it is my flesh that they have taken captive, and you keep my soul in my heart......"

The tune of this song is simple, not as deep as "Pearl of the Orient", but it seems to be like a nursery rhyme, like a child who lacks maternal love, and the desire for maternal love is like a surging tide. At that time, the child star Rong Yunlin sang the hearts of hundreds of millions of Chinese with her broken Mandarin.

With the end of the first paragraph, when Li Yange was about to stop singing, a classmate from that class suddenly came over and hummed: "Do you know that Magang is not my real surname......"

"I've been away from you for too long, Mother!" Fang Yuanchao immediately took it.

Shek sang along, "But they took my flesh captive. ”

"You still keep my inner soul......"

The singing became louder and louder, and more and more students came over, and gradually most of the students in the cafeteria gathered around and sang the song "Song of the Seven Sons". The style of music is so simple, and everyone here is studying music, and they can basically sing it after listening to it once, at most it is a question of whether it is good or not.

But no one cares whether it's good or not, I just hope to use this song to vent the emotions that have been suppressed for a hundred years.

Unconsciously, hundreds of people gathered around, blocking the not spacious aisle, some teachers who came to eat in the cafeteria saw that there were so many students around, and thought something was wrong, just wanted to go over to see, and heard the students singing "Song of the Seven Sons".

After stopping to listen for a while, a teacher in his forties was moved and sang with his classmates with deep affection.

"For the past 300 years, the biological mother who has never forgotten, please call my son's name and call me a Macau ......"

……

……

What happened in the cafeteria quickly attracted the attention of the school's academic affairs office, and after inquiring, I learned that a student adapted a song based on Mr. Wen Yiduo's "Song of the Seven Sons", which aroused the patriotism of the students who went to the cafeteria to eat, and spontaneously came to the chorus of the audience.

While crying and laughing, he also found the initiator Li Yange.

"I heard the director of the Academic Affairs Office say that when you were eating in the cafeteria at noon today, you wrote a song with the lyrics of "Song of the Seven Sons"?"

Director Tang looked at Li Yange who was sitting opposite, he had a headache, this kid is talented, but he always likes to do something. Today's noon cafeteria is blocked, many students and teachers have not been able to go in to eat, if it weren't for the later academic affairs office, I'm afraid I have to block it for a while, but fortunately there was no trampling, otherwise this matter is really difficult to handle.

"That is, I composed a tune, which was originally a casual chat with a few classmates, but I didn't expect the classmates on the side to listen to it." What happened at noon was also something Li Yange never expected.

The news of Macao's imminent return to the motherland has spread all over the country since yesterday, and the students of the central music in Beijing, of course, all know about this matter, and everyone was very excited to discuss it, and then I heard Li Yange adapt Mr. Wen Yiduo's "Song of the Seven Sons", and the Chinese people have made no more nonsensical things under the emotional resonance.

Li Yange still remembers that on the day of Hong Kong's return to the motherland in 97, thousands of people gathered in front of Tiananmen Square, singing the national anthem and waving flags in their hands, most of these people were students from major universities.

"Okay, I'll tell the Academic Affairs Office about this, and I can't do it like this in the future." After Director Tang figured out what was going on, he didn't trouble Li Yange, but just asked him to pay attention to himself.

"Knowing Director Tang, this time it's just an accident."

"By the way, Macau has recently returned, and the leaders of the Ministry of Culture also just want to do something, you write the score to me tomorrow, and I will help you report it to see if it can be adopted."

Li Yange was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "It's the same as "My Chinese Heart"? ”

In the early 80s, during the negotiations on Hong Kong's return to the motherland, Hong Kong singer Zhang Mingmin became popular all over the country with a song "My Chinese Heart", which also attracted great attention from the Ministry of Culture. Since then, on the occasion of the return of Hong Kong and Macao, composers from Hong Kong Island and the mainland have been asked to write similar patriotic songs.

One of the most famous is Luo Dayou's "Pearl of the Orient", on the day of Hong Kong's return, Andy Lau and Yehenala sang this song on TV, causing tens of millions of people from north and south of the country to come to a KTV chorus.

On the occasion of Macau's return, "Song of the Seven Sons" became everyone's voice.

"Yes, if you make a good arrangement, you might even make an album." As one of the leaders of the central sound, Director Tang is naturally able to deal with some leaders of the Ministry of Culture, as early as a few days before the signing of the return agreement, he went to the Ministry of Culture with the leaders of the school for a meeting. In order to promote the common feelings between the compatriots in the mainland and Macao, the people above also ordered the literary and artistic creators to give full play to their talents as much as possible and write and create songs and movies about Macao's return to the motherland.
