After singing on the Taihang Mountains, the music turned and Pearl Buck began to sing "Er Little Cowherd".
"The cows were still grazing on the hillside, but the cowherd was nowhere to be found.
It wasn't because he was playful and lost the cow, but the cowherd boy Wang Erxiao.
On the morning of September 16th, the enemy raided a ravine.
Protecting the rear organs and protecting thousands of fellow villagers.
At the critical moment, the enemy was about to reach the mountain pass and lost his way.
He grabbed Erxiao and asked him to lead the way.
Erxiao walked in front obediently and led the enemy into our ambush.
There was a ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong sound everywhere.
Only with guns and artillery can the enemy realize that they have been deceived.”
"The enemy picked Erxiao on the tip of his spear and threw him to death on a big rock.
Our 13-year-old Wang Erxiao died heroically in the mountains.
The cadres and fellow villagers were safe, but he slept in the cold mountains. , with a smile on his face, and his blood stained the red and blue sky.
The autumn wind blew throughout the village, spreading this touching story, and every fellow villager sang about Erxiao Cowherd with tears in his eyes. " This song was also sung by Yu Sheng when he was in school in later generations.
At the time, I didn’t think it was interesting, and I didn’t feel at all happy about the arrival of Sheriff Black Cat or Big Head’s son, Little Head’s father.
It is not until I travel to this era and watch this song again that I can gradually appreciate its unique meaning.
Putting aside the propaganda connotation of the work, objectively speaking, this work has a certain generosity and fierceness of youthful spirit, and an epic flavor of knowing the danger but going calmly.
If Wang Xiaoer were to be pulled down from the altar, looked at alone.
Well, first of all, he is a boy, a thirteen-year-old boy, who is in the second grade of middle school.
It is the age when he dares to do anything once his passion is overtaken.
It is the age when the ignorance of childhood fades away and the world and oneself are recognized.
And in today's China where bandits are rampant.
When a foreign enemy invades, it is common for a young man to become angry and put his own life and death at risk.
However, China is strong precisely because of such young people.
This song is about Erxiao Fang Cowherd.
Pearl Buck sang it in Chinese first, but while singing, the big screen in the background began to show Yu Sheng's recording of many students taking to the streets in Shanghai.
The sight of Zodiac meeting with the Japanese lackeys.
Suddenly, it turned to the image of Liu Zhanen inviting Yu Sheng to speak at the art performances of primary and secondary schools in Shanghai.
Moreover, it actually comes with a recording of Yu Sheng’s speech that year.
The voice gradually changed from small and delicate to loud and clear.
After the first song of Er Xiao Cowherd, Yu Sheng's voice stood out from the background.
It was he who borrowed from Liang Qichao's heroic essay "Young China", A paragraph of advice to teenagers in Shanghai.
"The Japanese call me China, firstly, they call it the Big Empire.
Another way, they call it the Big Empire.
This is a term that is also a translation of the European and Western words.
The result of calling me China is the Big Boss.
Liang Qichao said: Evil, what is it?
Why is there a young China in my mind?
If you want to talk about the country, young and old, please talk about the past.
Young people always think about the future. " "If I am a young man, I have a great future ahead and a vast future.
If China is a cow, a horse, a slave, and a slave, it will be cruel to cook braids and whips.
But I, a young man, can do it."
"If China dominates the universe and dominates the earth, it will command Gu Pan's honor.
Only my young man will enjoy it."
"So today's responsibility does not lie with others, but with my youth.

The wisdom of youth will make the country wise, the wealth of youth will make the country rich; the strength of youth will make the country strong; the independence of youth will make the country independent; the freedom of youth will make the country free; the progress of youth will make the country progress; If the young man is more powerful than Europe, the country will be more powerful than Europe; if the young man is more powerful than the earth, the country will be more powerful than the earth.
The red sun rises, and the river flows with great light. , the vast ocean is flowing.
The dragons are rising into the abyss, their claws are flying, the beasts are frightened, the eagles and falcons are fluttering, and the strange flowers are blooming in the air. .
The sky is green and the earth is yellow.
Despite the eternity, the future is as bright as the sea and the future is bright.
My young China is as strong as the sky and has no borders."
The words condensed from classical Chinese are like songs when recited loudly.
This is a unique kind of rap that is completely different from black people or European and American culture.
Although most Hollywood stars cannot understand Chinese, the videos Qing Xiaoyi obtained from Liu Wangliming have both Chinese and English subtitles.
When the song is accompanied by chanting, when the meaning is clear and unmistakable, a kind of youthful spirit of serving the country, it is expressed clearly and vividly, and everyone in Hollywood cannot help but be moved.
Therefore, before Pearl Buck started singing the second English version of "Singing the Cowherd", everyone in the audience started applauding.
The second time she sang Er Xiao Fang Cowherd, Pearl Buck sang it in English.
At this time, all the audience understood it.
Then, a desolate epic flavor emerged.
The so-called epic is to use the form of poetry and rhyming words to narrate history.
Because of the unique rhythm of words, there are many epic poems that can be sung.
For example, Homer's epic or the biography of King Gesar.
Singing the Little Cowherd satisfies all the basic characteristics of an epic, and, it must be said, this story also fits a motif in Western civilization’s understanding of epics, that is, fearlessness The top Western epic work is the Homer epic written by the blind poet Homer in ancient Greece.
Among them, apart from the peerless beauty Helen, the most outstanding characters are Achilles, the god of war, and Hector, the commander-in-chief.
When Achilles raised the challenge, Hector knew that he was no match.
For the sake of dignity and morale, Hector could only fight resolutely.
In the end, he was defeated and died.
Achilles is certainly a hero, so is Hector, whose generosity and heroism are even more touching.
The people sitting in the audience were not celebrities, but actors and actresses from major companies, as well as some invited wealthy people, all of whom were highly educated.
It is natural to think of the details in Homer's epic poem.
Although Wang Xiaoer and Hector are a bit different, the most beautiful aspects of human nature are the same.
In this way, Wang Xiaoer changed from a young boy to a hero similar to Hector in the hearts of everyone.
A desolate charm was born.
After the English version of the song Er Xiao Fang Cowherd was sung, everyone present, regardless of their original impressions of Chinese people and China, couldn't help but feel more respect in their hearts.
A nation with such young people, no matter what, has a reason to exist in the world forever.
Except for people who have never donated money before, after hearing these two songs.
They all walked to the donation box and put in dollars or checks.
There were also people who had already donated money.
After hearing these two songs, they walked to the donation box again, wrote a check and put it in.
If the first donation was mostly based on the invitation signed by all parties, then this time it was a sincere and sincere donation that touched my heart.
Of course, as the organizer of a charity gala, a now-famous film producer in Hollywood, and a medium-sized singer and songwriter in Shanghai, Yu Sheng has to do more than just invite people to come out and sing.
He himself couldn't escape.
At least, when Meyer, Howard and Albert responded to Yu Sheng's invitation to help Yu Sheng prepare for the party, they all said on the invitation that Yu Sheng would perform the show himself.
Now that these three cheating pig teammates have made a promise, it will be hard for them to break their promise for the rest of their lives.
After Pearl Buck bowed out, Yu Sheng appeared in person, and everyone in Hollywood burst into warm applause.
The first song I sang for the rest of my life.
It is the Great Wall ballad that was widely popular in China during this era.
This song was originally created as a movie episode, but due to the August 13th Incident in Shanghai, the movie was not completed.
So the author Liu Xue'an.
So he published this Great Wall Ballad in his own magazine, War Song.

Because the charm in the song is natural and mellow, the affection is lingering and real, and the tune and rhythm are extremely easy to master.
Even ordinary people can sing it easily, so it spreads very quickly.
Subsequently.
This Great Wall Ballad was sung by Zhou Xiaoyan, who was only 19 years old, at the Wuhan Choir's anti-Japanese art performance.
Subsequently, this Great Wall ballad was recorded into a record.
Published by EMI.
Due to its artistic charm, this Great Wall ballad is widely sung among Chinese in Southeast Asia, such as Singapore.
At this time, small Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore and the Philippines were also under threat from the Japanese.
Therefore, even the Chinese as far away as Southeast Asia share the same hatred and hatred.
Many people even joined the army and returned to China to fight against Japan after hearing this Great Wall ballad.
Yu Sheng opened his voice and his singing flowed out.
The soothing music sounds a bit like a homesick song, like a dream: "The Great Wall is thousands of miles long, and outside the Great Wall is my hometown.
The sorghum is fat, the soybeans are fragrant, and the land is filled with gold and less disasters."
In the sweet moment, the dream is broken.
"Since the disaster, rape, robbery, and robbery have been a disaster.
In times of suffering, people have fled to other places, their flesh and blood have been separated, their parents have been mourned.
They cannot bear to forget grudges and hatred, and they just want to return to their hometown day and night.
Everyone fights hard to fight back, even if the Japanese pirates The Great Wall is thousands of miles long, and the hearts of our 40 million compatriots are as long as the new Great Wall.
In the United States of this era, there are not many songs that can reach this artistic level and have similar charm.
To put it into detail, there is only one widely sung song, Red River Valley, which was composed by a Canadian and spread to the United States.
After singing it once in English and Chinese for the rest of my life, some Hollywood film producers are already thinking about whether they can buy the copyright of this song and put it in a movie with a suitable theme.
Of course, the Ballad of the Great Wall is not the only song in China that borrows the meaning of the Great Wall as a work to express the anti-Japanese meaning of the song itself.
Another song related to the Great Wall and even more famous than the Great Wall Ballad is "The Great Wall Will Never Fall Down" borrowed from later generations by Yu Sheng.
If the Great Wall Ballad is a homesick song with a soothing and sad melody, then the Great Wall Will Never Fall is an impassioned war song.
Before the soothing image of the ballad of the Great Wall was finished, everyone in the audience suddenly heard a trembling roar: "Ah, after sleeping for hundreds of years, the people of the country have gradually woken up and opened their eyes.
Look carefully, who is willing to admit himself?"
Then, there was a burst of killing and decisiveness, and a heroic and resolute call: "Because of shrinking and tolerance, people's arrogance is getting stronger and stronger.
Scream loudly, the whole country is a soldier."
"Bandits have always wanted to invade, and they will eventually die."
"The Great Wall will never fall, and the Yellow River is surging for thousands of miles.
The beautiful mountains and rivers, colorful peaks and ridges ask our country how it seems to be infected."
"Break the bloody road, wave your hand.
We must be committed to the rejuvenation of the country.
How can we let our country be trampled on again?
Everyone must shoulder their mission."
"The Great Wall will never fall, and the Yellow River is surging for thousands of miles.
The beautiful mountains and rivers, the colorful peaks, ask me how our country is infected."
"Break the bloody road, wave your hands and go forward.
Do you want to work hard for the rejuvenation of the country?
Will you let the country be trampled on again?
This sleeping lion has gradually awakened. " The song itself is good, but after Yu Sheng sang it, some people in the audience became unnatural.
In half a century, the United States was among the countries that invaded China.
Although Yu Sheng later turned his main focus on the Japanese in The Great Wall Will Never Fall, this only Chinese action film of this era had a profound influence after it became a hit in the United States.
After watching it, the American people will inevitably be interested in the history of that era.
And with this interest, I discovered that I was the prototype of the villain in the movie.

Therefore, although The Great Wall Will Never Fall has a strong influence in the United States, people in Hollywood sometimes avoid talking about this movie, intentionally or unintentionally.
And the achievements of the rest of his life are attributed to making trouble in heaven, attacking Pearl Harbor and talking about China on the tip of his tongue.
And Yu Sheng also has a purpose in choosing to sing this song.
If he wants to take money out of the pockets of these people here, in addition to taking advantage of their sense of crisis and common hatred, he also needs to take advantage of their sense of guilt.
Now When you faced the Japanese invasion, you thought the Japanese were wrong; but back then, you invaded your current allies.
In your museums and art galleries, there are still antiques snatched from the homes of your allies.
There are some things that I am afraid of exposing.
It is impossible for a person to abide by two sets of moral rules in public at the same time.
If this matter is not mentioned for the rest of his life, it will be blurred.
But now that I sing this song for the rest of my life, it only gives these people two choices: either admit that invading other countries is wrong in itself, or admit that the jungle of the jungle is the best, and interests come first.
You deserve to be attacked by the Japanese.
In today's critical moment of war, of course no one would choose the latter.
This is wrong, so I can only acquiesce, feel guilty, and throw two checks into the donation box as compensation.
Yu Sheng looked at the people who made donations and smiled secretly in his heart.
After all, these people in Hollywood are not American politicians, and they are not that thick-skinned:
