"Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one." The Spring Festival is a traditional festival of the Chinese nation, where thousands of families reunite and share joy.

CCTV Comprehensive Channel launched the sixth season of the large-scale cultural program "Classic Chants" during the Spring Festival.

On January 31st, at 8 o'clock in the evening on the tenth day of the first lunar month, the first issue of "The Sixth Season of Classic Chants" arrived as scheduled.

The program is based on the historical intersection of the "two centennial" goals, and is comprehensively upgraded around the theme of "Spring Festival gifts, singing the song of great rejuvenation".

Teacher Liang Jun led the children in the mountainous areas of Guizhou to sing "Moss": "The day is not everywhere, and youth comes naturally." Moss flowers are as small as rice, and they also learn to bloom peonies. Yuan Mei's "Moss" is a true portrayal of the value of every individual's life and a sincere praise for a positive attitude towards life.

When her hands flutter up and down on the keys, we feel a strong vitality and explosiveness, and her heart still contains infinite love and perseverance for music. "The pine on the Tingting Mountain, the stroke in the valley.

The wind is strong, and the pine branches are strong! The frost is miserable, and the whole year is always upright. Isn't it cold and cold, pines and cypresses have nature. ”

Olympic champion Sun Yang performed Liu Zhen's "Gift to My Brother", with exciting ambition and pride. "If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight."

When Xiangjiang actors Wang Mingquan and Luo Jiaying sang "Queqiao Immortal" together, they staged a deep love in real life. "Looking back at the bleak place, returning, there is no wind and rain and no sunshine."

Li Xia was the last to take the stage, and the song he brought was an adapted version of "My Motherland".

"My Motherland" is a song sung by Guo Lanying and the Chorus of the Dragon Kingdom Opera and Dance Theater, recorded in 1959.

This song is also an interlude in the movie "Shangganling".

In 1989, Qiao Yu, Liu Chi, and Guo Lanying won the first Golden Record Award for this song.

After accepting Benin's invitation, Li Xia received 5 classic old songs from the "Classic Chants" program team to prepare for him.

According to the requirements, Li Xia needs to choose one of these five classic old songs for adaptation, and then sing this song on the stage of "Classic Chants".

After seeing these five songs, Li Xia chose the song "My Motherland" without hesitation.

Because the "My Motherland" sung by teacher Guo Lanying is so classic, it can be said to be the enlightenment song of countless Chinese people.

Whenever the blood-boiling prelude sounds, countless listeners can spontaneously hum along with the accompaniment.

There is even a sentence circulating on the Internet: "Singing the Motherland in good times", "March of the Volunteers" in adversity, and "My Motherland" in desperate situations. ”

After Li Xia came to the stage, he first greeted the host Benin, and then began to tell the story behind the song "My Motherland" by the teachers of the appreciation group.

The song "My Motherland" is an episode of the movie "Shangganling".

The Battle of Shangganling, also known as Battle Le Hill, was a famous battle fought between the People's Volunteers and the "United Nations Army" in Shangganling and its vicinity from October 14 to November 25, 1952.

From a certain level, the Battle of Shangganling can be said to be synonymous with the War to Resist the United States and Aid Korea.

The intensity of its intensity is unprecedented, especially the density of artillery fire, which has exceeded the highest level of the Second World War.

During the 43-day battle, the Volunteers and the "United Nations Army" repeatedly fought for positions 59 times, and the Volunteers repelled more than 900 charges by the "United Nations Army."

How tragic was the Battle of Shangganling?

Of the 20,000 catties of apples, only one was sent in.

The Battle of Shangganling was more tragic than the battles of Kuah, Iwo Jima, Saipan, and even more than the Battle of Verdun.

The Battle of Verdun is called the "Verdun Meat Grinder", so it is not an exaggeration to call Shangganling the "Shangganling Meat Grinder".

Sangganryong was originally a small village located at the southern foot of Gosungsan Mountain in Gimhwa County, Gangwon Province, in the central part of the Korean Peninsula.

It was on this position, which was less than 3.7 square kilometers and could only place about two companies, that the "United Nations Army" headed by the beautiful country successively mobilized 60,000 troops, more than 300 large-caliber heavy artillery pieces, more than 170 tanks, and more than 3,000 sorties, firing more than 1.9 million shells and more than 5,000 bombs, and indiscriminately bombarding the 597.9 and 537.7 heights guarded by the Chinese People's Volunteers.

In the course of the attack, the "United Nations Army" had to attack on the corpses of their fallen comrades, and the position could be described as a pile of corpses.

In the end, at the cost of more than 10,000 casualties, the volunteers held their positions and won the victory.

The "United Nations Army" was declared defeated with about 25,000 casualties.

After the battle, the two highland hills were flattened by an average of 2 meters, the soil and rocks on the highlands were loosened by 1-2 meters, and they became a piece of scorched earth, many tunnels were broken by five or six meters, and there were dozens of bullet casings in a handful of soil.

This shows the tragic extent of the Battle of Shangganling.

Listening to the teacher of the appreciation group, the atmosphere of the scene gradually became solemn, and many people even moistened the corners of their eyes.

This is a battle for the founding of the country, in this small 3.7 square kilometers of battlefield, the volunteers with an unimaginable iron will, with a tenacious spirit that is not afraid of death, won an unexpected victory!

They played the military prestige of the army of the Dragon Kingdom, the prestige of the country, and the current happy and stable life of the Dragon Kingdom.

As the prelude to the blood boiled sounded, Li Xia sang affectionately————

"A big river has wide waves, and the wind blows the rice and flowers on both banks."

"My family lives on the shore, and I am used to hearing the captain's horn and seeing the white sails on the ship......"

Listening to Li Xia's singing, the audience also hummed quietly.

Gradually, the sound grew louder and louder, and soon it evolved into a chorus of the whole audience.

"This is the beautiful motherland, where I grew up."

"In this vast land, there are bright scenery everywhere."

"The girl is like a flower, and the young man is so broad-minded."

"In order to open up new horizons, awaken the sleeping mountains and change the appearance of the river."

"This is the homeland of heroes, where I grew up......"

The song deeply expresses the strong patriotic ideology and sings the infinite love and heroism of the volunteer soldiers for the motherland and hometown.

The lyrics are sincere and simple, intimate and vivid.

The three-section song is three beautiful pictures that are fascinating.

Li Xia's adaptation respects the original work while making the whole song more atmospheric and heroic.

It is as if the mountain torrent is gushing out for thousands of miles, expressing the passion of the soldiers to the fullest, and singing the infinite love and heroism of the volunteer soldiers for the motherland and hometown.

When Li Xia picked up the guitar, the audience seemed to have a scene in front of their eyes, the scene where the People's Volunteers picked up a steel gun to defend the country more than 60 years ago.

Countless Chinese at home and abroad burst into tears.

"The classic chant I watched on youtube circulated, and the song "My Motherland" was performed sonorously by Li Xia, when I heard "This is a strong motherland"! I couldn't hold back the tears in my eyes anymore, it was really gushing out, indescribable! ”

"This version of "My Motherland" is infused with full youthful power, and once again hearing the passionate and uplifting tune, we are determined that the motherland will be stronger."

"From the heroic sons and daughters who defended the frontier to the fierce battle of Shanggangling in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the volunteers who sang and cried were all moved, and under such disparity in equipment, the volunteers exchanged their lives for what kind of peace and happiness in the world......

"Different style, different feeling! The lyrics are simple but the melody is eternal, patriotism is the feeling engraved in the bones of every Dragon Country person! ”

"I finally know why these songs will never go out of style, maybe I won't listen to them often, but I can definitely hum along when I hear them, because these lyrics and songs are the author's inner love for the motherland, which comes from the heart, and is an affectionate expression of the motherland's feelings!"

"One word ~ great! He is a musical genius! Well adapted! Not inferior to the original song at all! Tender, imposing, and inspiring! ”

"I cried when I watched "Classic Chants" and listened to this song, Li Xia sang so infectiously, I hope he can make a movie about resisting US aggression and aiding Korea!"
