I sing folk songs for ye Shuai
■ he Suisheng
I have sung Hakka folk songs for Marshal Ye Jianying many times. I remember that the first time I performed was in 1965 in central and southern China. At that time, I was only 18 years old, and I was an actor of Shantou area folk song troupe. In 1964, our whole troupe went to Guangzhou to rehearse the Guangdong version of "Oriental red". I sang "Nanniwan" and "two pairs of straw sandals to the Red Army". When I came to Beijing to perform in 1965, I was drawn out to rehearse rainbow B of the mountain opera Rainbow (a is a famous actor, Mr. LAN Xiaotian).
Ye Shuai took a group photo with the performers after watching the art program in Guangzhou. Why Sui Sheng was wearing a white background and black apron behind Ye Shuai.
Ye Shuai knows that his hometown's operas come to Beijing for performance. Before the performance, he came to the performance site early to visit everyone, asking for help. Then he said in Hakka words: "OK, you're ready to dress up. I'm waiting to see your good play." You heard Ye Shuai's pure Hakka dialect which hasn't been changed for several decades, which made you feel very kind. The cast members put into the performance with excited and happy mood. When our Guangdong delegation's Han Opera "a bag of wheat seeds" and mountain opera "Rainbow" ended, ye Shuai came to the stage, first greeted the musicians and backstage staff, then went to the middle of the actors and shook hands with them one by one, and kindly asked who pulled the "hanging turtle" (the first string instrument of Han Opera), and asked why the long instrument "hanging sou" had not been heard (this is Before the performance of the folk troupe, as soon as the villagers heard the sound of "hanging cough", they knew that the good play was about to start. If they didn't occupy a good seat quickly, they would not see the good play. Ye Shuai also put forward the problems and improvement requirements in the performance one by one, and encouraged everyone to inherit and develop the national art and create more good plays to perform for the people of Beijing.
Then, ye Shuai invited all the performers of our Han Opera Troupe and folk song troupe to his home for dinner. Ye Shuai was busy in front of and after the reception, and wittily and humorously used the rhyme of the play to say: "sister Yan, wheat seed (the former is the name of the leading role in the mountain opera rainbow, the latter is the name of the Guangdong Han Opera), follow me..." He lengthened his voice to ask people to sit down and make them laugh. Ye Shuai said kindly: you are the honored guests from your hometown. The general will serve your own dishes and cakes. He pointed to the banana and said, "the banana skin is sweet with plum blossom. Please eat more." Then he put the Chinese brand cigarettes into the men and said, "it's easy to smoke. If you don't take them, you won't have them!" Ye Shuai's unchanged local voice and strong local feeling make everyone feel warm and cordial. Ye Shuai arranged everything for everyone in person and said, "I have other business, you can enjoy the flavor of your hometown slowly!" Then he left with a smile.
Once, ye Shuai passed Meizhou on official business. Local leaders organized a cultural program in his hometown. Ye Shuai asked for the performance of the traditional classical zither solo music lotus out of water, which was criticized as "fengzixiu" and "ocean ancient". The performer was greatly encouraged. After more than ten years of no practice, he tried to recover his playing skills.
Ye Shuai often goes to Guangzhou on official business. I sing Hakka folk songs for him many times and sing ye Shuai's poems written in Hakka folk tune. Once, I went up to Ye Shuai and said: ye Shuai, my hometown's parents asked me to say hello to you! After hearing this, ye Shuai happily and kindly said in "Hakka Putonghua": Thank you! thank you!
He Suisheng's singing album based on Ye Shuai's poems.
In April 2007, in order to commemorate the 110th anniversary of Ye Shuai's birth, I specially made a singing album of "forever thoughts" based on Ye Shuai's six poems "butterfly in love with flowers, Yulin port", "butterfly in love with flowers, Hainan Island", "Luhuitou", "you Zhaoqing Seven Star Rock", "Qilu · Yuanwang" and "zhongmeizhou at the end of the plum blossom". Each time I sang in Mandarin for the first time, Hakka dialect for the second time, and each song The accompaniment tapes of are all attached to the back of six songs. In order to sing these songs well and accurately understand and convey the emotion and connotation of Ye Shuai's poetry works, I specially read Ye Shuai's poetry collection and other research monographs.
Many years have passed, but every time I sing his poems again, they will be brought into infinite feelings.
Ye Shuai is the founder of rubber industry in New China
■ xingyong
Forty years ago, the old oak garden,
There is no limit to future development.
Rubber is like a man's middle foot,
Combined with the machine tool.
This song "Hainan Subtropical Crop Research Institute" was written by Marshal Ye Jianying when he visited Hainan Subtropical Crop Research Institute in 1959.
In the early days of the founding of new China, the western world and hostile forces hated new China and imposed economic sanctions and threat of force on us. In particular, rubber, which is necessary for military industry, is banned from China, and even rubber seeds are not allowed to be brought to China. In order to break the imperialist blockade on China's rubber materials, the CPC Central Committee and Chairman Mao Zedong defined the development of natural rubber as a national strategy, and ordered the cultivation of wasteland in Hainan, Guangdong and Yunnan. In 1951, ye Shuai, who was also the director of South China Reclamation Bureau, was going to plant rubber in Hainan. In 1953, ye Shuai set up the Rubber Research Institute in Hainan. The new rubber trees can be cut for 5 years, 3-4 years earlier than the general trees. Moreover, the yield per plant is much higher, and the maximum annual output can reach 20 kg!
On December 26, 1951, ye Shuai held a staff meeting of South China reclamation and Cultivation Bureau in Guangzhou, and made a mobilization report of "vigorously developing rubber industry". He expounded the importance of developing rubber industry for Industry and national defense, and called on everyone to actively participate in this glorious cause. "Our cause is to fight against imperialism," he said. We need tungsten, rubber and oil to develop industry and consolidate national defense. We lack rubber. Industry without tungsten is like a man without bones; industry without rubber is like a man without feet and cannot walk! " After the meeting, ye Shuai personally led a group of experts and relevant persons in charge to visit Leizhou Peninsula and Hainan Island. 2000 old rubber trees were found in Xuwen County, 7 in Maoming County, especially 3 in Gaozhou county. Ye Shuai was very happy to say: "these three rubber trees show that rubber can be planted from here (latitude 22n) all the way south!" Ye Shuai visited rubber garden from east to west and from south to North in Hainan. In the big, Wenchang and Nanqiao rubber plantations, ye Shuai watched the process of cutting, collecting and producing. He asked the person in charge to organize human resources to protect and manage the rubber garden as soon as possible.
After nearly a month's on-the-spot investigation, ye Shuai mastered a lot of first-hand information, wrote a report in person to the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao, and in the name of the first Secretary of South China sub Bureau, wrote a report on the key points to be grasped in rubber work at present. Chairman Mao carefully read Ye Shuai's letters and reports, and asked Premier Zhou to handle them, and the relevant departments gradually implemented them. In order to establish a rubber cultivation team as soon as possible, ye Shuai asked the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao to dispatch 20000 officers and men from the PLA to form the first division, the second division and an independent regiment of forestry engineering to Zhanjiang, Hainan and Guangxi to undertake the task of rubber cultivation. Ye also suggested that the CPC Central Committee call on rubber experts and technicians to work here.
Ye Shuai built a rubber cultivation Team of 20000 people. Then we should grasp the variety, collection, seedling, propagation, rubber cutting, film making and other technologies of rubber seeds. Ye Shuai put forward the slogan of "one seed, one gold". He collected excellent seeds and transported them to Leizhou, Guangxi and Yunnan in time for seedling raising. Ye Shuai put forward that the purpose of Rubber Research Institute is to "combine scientific research with production, guide production with science, test in practice with experience gained from research", and put forward "four links of seed, seedling, tree and rubber" as the key point of rubber research, requiring to summarize a set of theory, technology and method to train cadres.
Once, when ye Shuai listened to the report of the cadres of South China Reclamation Bureau on the problem of using natural organic fertilizer to improve the soil, he was very appreciative that Gong Zizhen of the Qing Dynasty wrote a poem that "falling red is not a ruthless thing, but turning it into spring mud to protect the flowers". This poem with profound political significance can also be used in rubber garden to make organic fertilizer, improve the soil and cultivate rubber trees. After hearing Ye Shuai's words, the officials of the Bureau of reclamation and cultivation were very encouraged and called on all farms to vigorously develop organic fertilizer to improve the soil. In memory of Ye Shuai's guidance, a new farm was built in Zhanjiang Branch of South China reclamation and Cultivation Bureau, which was named "Chunni farm".
