Chapter 43 Chapter 6 Chief Red Army Female Singer

Singing folk songs and singing folk songs doesn't taste like singing alone. If you want to live a good life singing folk songs, you have to sing in antithesis.One question and one answer, one singing and one harmonizing, the most intense and interesting is the fighting song, ridiculing each other, provoking each other, and sometimes insinuating and insulting each other.Of course, there are still many needles hidden in the cotton for masters to fight.People who really know how to sing folk songs and become famous by singing folk songs all conquer the world in antiphonal songs and fighting songs.

At that time, there were several song contests held in the county every year, usually on fair days, and the field was crowded with people. In such a big scene, people who have no skills in their mouths and no goods in their stomachs will definitely be timid, and they will not dare to sing duels on stage, let alone fight songs.A few times, when Zeng Zizhen was fighting on stage, her opponent stuttered and couldn't even speak for a while.Everyone desperately applauded and applauded her. Chen Yi liked listening to folk songs very much. Seeing that Zeng Zizhen sang and won again, he ran to the backstage and pressed Zeng Zizhen's face with both hands.Said: "You girl can sing really well, you are really a 'folk song king'!" Zeng Zizhen hurriedly lowered her head, her face flushed as if she had put on rouge.Zeng Zizhen's reputation as the "King of Folk Songs" has since spread.

"Folk songs don't (don't) sing in the belly, and gold doesn't turn into copper; don't do romantic things when you are young, and old miles are not worth half a cent of copper." Avalokitesvara should be a younger sister, Avalokitesvara should not blame Tanhua Lang." "Lian Lang wants to connect with Lao Lang, and even Lao Lang tastes good; kissed last night, it will be like a coir raincoat to cover a wine jar."... Every time there is a battle of songs, Chen Yi, the commander of the provincial military region, is always present to listen to the songs.For this song contest, Mao Zedong was also in Xingguo, conducting a mass survey, and Chen Yi invited Mao Zedong to appreciate it.

The competition song was very intense from the very beginning. Chen Yi is a sentimental person, so he lost his heart when he heard it, so he stood up and shouted: "Everyone be quiet, Zeng Zizhen has won several battles in a row, we invite her, the 'king of folk songs', to come again." Is a song good?!" At that time, when listening to songs, they heard the benefits, and they all shouted and called out their names.When the crowd saw that it was Chen Yi, the commander of the Jiangxi Provincial Military Region, who was speaking, they all followed suit and shouted. As the saying goes, listen to songs and argue.Mao Zedong was a "fine man", he pondered the lyrics while listening to folk songs, and after pondering for a long time, he felt that there were too many things about brothers, sisters, love, and love in the lyrics, the theme was unhealthy, and it was a bit out of tune with the correct atmosphere.The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became. With so many officers and soldiers of the Red Army listening to the song, listening to it for a long time might affect the morale of the soldiers.Alas, my own investigation and research, the horoscope has not been written yet, how can I sit here and listen to the song.So I stood up and said: What Xingguo folk songs are, they are sex songs.After speaking, he walked away.

When Mao Zedong left, all his entourage followed.The others also stood up and looked at each other, uncertain whether to stay or not.Chen Yi took a look, patted the stool and said: "What are you going, what are you going, and where are you going? Isn't this Xingguo folk song very good!" He also hummed a few words. When the rumors came over, Zeng Zizhen and the others sank in their hearts: the views of an official were the attitude of the government in the eyes of the villagers.They worried that the Soviets would ban the singing of folk songs.A few days passed in suspense, but fortunately, no one banned singing.

In the Soviet area, Xingguo folk songs are irresistible temptation.Xingguo folk songs are created orally, touching the scene, expressing feelings, singing impromptu, close to life, integrating narration, exclamation, and calling, and the content is clear and hearty when sung. Power, easy to spread, promote and popularize. "If I want to sing, I will sing. Don't (not) be afraid of being stopped by others. In the past, the landlords scolded me for being poor and happy. Now I sing to thank the Communist Party!"In practical work, many revolutionary leaders also like to learn and sing the folk songs of Xingguo.Hu Yaobang personally compiled many folk songs for the people in the base area, such as:

In the autumn of 1931, Ren Bishi, a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Bureau of the Soviet Area of ​​the Communist Party of China and former acting secretary of the Central Bureau of the Soviet Area of ​​the Communist Party of China, was invited by the Xingguo County Committee of the Shaoxing Communist Party to attend the first Youth Congress of the Shaoxing Communist Party in Xingguo County. During the meeting, the teenagers sang continuously, and a grand folk song competition was held. The lively scene and huge appeal left a deep impression on Ren Bishi. After listening to it, he was eager to try it.While recording the lyrics, he asked someone to teach him to sing, and changed some of the words into revolutionary songs.For example, the love song was changed to "The pines and cypresses in Nanshan are green and green, and the revolution has one heart; don't learn from willows that are green for half a year, but learn from pines and cypresses that are green all the year round; don't learn from lanterns with thousands of eyes, but learn from candles with one heart." I heard that Zeng Zizhen is the king of folk songs, Ren Bishi He also deliberately found Zeng Zizhen, bowed to him as a teacher, and begged her to accept him as an apprentice.Zeng Zizhen taught seriously, he studied attentively, and made rapid progress. In less than two days, he went on stage to sing in front of a large audience.

"Alas - to be a soldier is to be a member of the Red Army, and the Red Army is a soldier of workers and peasants; bravely charge to kill the enemy, comradely, and take care of family affairs." He imitated Xingguo's accent in the Hakka dialect he had just learned, and started "Aiyale" At the beginning of Xing, the ending of "Ah Ho Hey" brakes, full of earthy taste, ups and downs, and unique charm, aroused an uproar in the hall and thunderous applause. Xingguo folk songs were quickly sung and popular among the Red Army and Soviet cadres.In the context of the Revolutionary War, due to the participation of many intellectuals, the content of Xingguo folk songs changed quietly, and some sex songs became new songs.

According to the "History of the Soviet Republic of China": "The military and civilians in the Soviet area sang folk songs, and many famous 'folk song kings' were born, such as Zeng Zizhen and Xie Shuilian in Xingguo County. Deng Zihui, Li Jianzhen and Fan Lechun in western Fujian, etc. For 'Minister of Folk Songs', 'Secretary of Folk Songs', 'Chairman of Folk Songs'..."
