In the past two days, Xinhua Daily Telegraph’s Rong Media report "Are you okay with the "Liangshan Boy" who carried his brother down the mountain" has been screened. Numerous netizens were deeply attracted by the "Sound of Nature" in the video report, and they have Leave a message in the comment area: "Too clean" "I cry as I listen."
What kind of song is this?
"I walk and walk/I want to see the world/Over the mountains and across the river/Across the river/It's like a dream..."
Like many netizens, I was also shocked by this song.
But unlike many netizens, I went to Liangshan to interview twice in three years, and I have a deeper feeling about the story carried by this song.
Three years ago, on February 2nd, the snow was falling tight and the Daliang Mountain was swollen. I ended the interview in Dabu Village, Yuexi County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province, which is more than 2,800 meters above sea level, and prepared to go down the mountain.
While staggering, I ran into a 9-year-old "Liangshan boy", Ji Jue Jizhu, who moved down the mountain carrying his younger brother. Behind them is the mother carrying a heavier basket.
Jijue Jizhu had firm eyes and looked straight ahead, his trouser legs covered with snow.
At that moment, I was deeply shocked, and I pressed the shutter time and time again during the continuous fall and climb.
That is the look in their eyes to get rid of the harsh environment on the mountain, and their footsteps towards a better life down the mountain.
Many netizens said that this is like the "Sister Shui Hua" in the hit TV series "Mountain and Sea Love".
Whether it is "diaozhuang" immigration or relocation for poverty alleviation, people are declaring war on poverty.
At the end of February this year, I met him again at the Central Primary School in Nanqing Town, Yuexi County where Jijuejizhu attended.
This elementary school is only a 15-minute walk from his new home where he now lives.
In front of him, Jijue Jizhu, in the sixth grade of elementary school, is already a handsome boy. Although he is still a little shy when speaking, he is very confident on the basketball court, constantly flickering and breaking through points.
He communicated with me in fluent Mandarin, talked about his dreams, and talked about his happy things.
At that moment, I felt pleasantly surprised.
Three years ago, I couldn't communicate with him normally. He could only understand a few words in Mandarin.
Jijue Jizhu's younger sister named Jizu Baijimu, in the fourth grade of elementary school, attended the same school as him.
When I met her, she was having a music class in the school's art classroom, rehearsing the chorus.
In that classroom, I heard this "Sound of Nature" for the first time.
"Ayi ah hello..." The first half of the song is in Yi language.
Although I didn't understand, the cheerful melody and the clean voices of the children shook me all at once.
They smiled and sang, like little flowers blooming in the spring field.
The second half of the song is sung in Chinese.
At this time, I understood the lyrics, and more thoroughly understood the story behind the sound of nature.
"Looking at the blue sky/My heart is flying freely/Over the mountain/Treading the river/My dream has set sail"
"Villages and villages are full of joy and laughter/The party’s kindness and warm heart are nestled/The ups and downs follow you forever/The socialist road guides me"
The local cadres told me that it was created by a Yi teacher in a school in Liangshan Prefecture. The well-known singer Ji Kejunyi, who was born in Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province, also sang this song.
The name of this song is "Son of the Motherland".
After returning from an interview in Liangshan, I kept repeating this song on my mobile phone. The comparison of the environment before and after the relocation of Jijue Jizhu's family continued to emerge in my mind, and the Dabu New Village after the relocation of poverty alleviation and relocation that I saw in my interview appeared. The smiling faces of the Yi people showed their dancing and singing in the square of the new village.
When on the mountain, there are ridges and slopes one after another. Children want to see the world by "crossing over mountains and rivers".
Nowadays, in the new home relocated, there is a TV, a network, and a smart phone. "The village is happy with laughter and laughter"!
The sunshine of poverty alleviation is shining in every corner. As a result, the destiny of countless people has been changed, the dream of countless people has been realized, and the happiness of countless people has been achieved because of this!
The home is the smallest country, and the country is tens of thousands.
Jijue Jizhu's family is the epitome of ordinary people's change of destiny in our country's poverty alleviation campaign.
While listening to this song, I shed tears several times. I was moved by the change of Jijue Jizhu's family, and even more moved by the great era we live in.
We are all "sons of the motherland".
No matter where we go or how far we go, the motherland is behind us.
