The name Li Jiefu is familiar to many readers. Born in the flames of the Anti-Japanese War, "Singing Erxiao, the Cowherd" accompanied a generation of people as they grew up. Created in the early 1960s, "We Are Walking on the Great Road" once inspired the Chinese people to be full of vigor and determination, helping them overcome difficult times. As for "Make Up Your Mind," which echoed across the vast land in the "red ocean," it is still occasionally heard on sports fields today. In December 2003, the People's Publishing House published "Red Musician—Jiefu" written by Huo Changhe. This year, Li Jiefu's relatives have re-edited "We Are Walking on the Great Road—New Collection of Jiefu's Songs." This songbook compiles over 100 solo, choral, and folk songs by the composer, including several "slogan songs" that have not been re-published in more than 30 years. These songs are a blend of ideological depth and artistic excellence, with some suitable for daily singing by the masses and others serving as art songs for stage performances.
