Features: Since the invention of movies and television, people's lives have been enriched with much joy. Especially the songs in films or TV dramas, as they are broadcast, spread rapidly among hundreds of millions of viewers and are widely sung. Great film and TV songs have been passed down for decades, influencing generations. In the 1930s, the Chinese sang "March of the Volunteers" to fight bravely for defeating the Japanese invaders and establishing a new China. Today, this song has become the national anthem of the People's Republic of China, and it is the most resounding song in our hearts: "When the Chinese nation faces danger, we stand united, advancing forward amidst the enemy's gunfire! Forward! Forward! Forward!" When the national flag rises, when "Shenzhou 6" flies into space, this song echoes in our ears, filling the hearts of the Chinese people with pride and passion. Over fifty years ago, with the release of the film "The Flowers of Our Motherland," the song "Let’s Row in Pairs" became a hit across the country. Grandmas sang it while wearing their red scarves, and the older generation sang it through their childhoods during the reform and opening-up era. Today, children still sing it as they enter schools, summer camps, and the new era. The smoke of war from the Korean War in the 1950s has long dissipated, but the theme song "My Motherland" from the film "Battle at Shangganling" remains popular to this day. "Hymn to the Heroes" fills us with reverence for heroes, inspiring people to strive and fight for their country. A single song like "May Goodness Be With You Always" echoed in the streets and alleys of the 1980s, making people long for genuine human emotions. I remember that after the founding of the new China, it was still poor and backward. Therefore, we have selected a small part of these film and TV songs and adapted them into erhu pieces for those who enjoy learning and playing the erhu. Some of the tunes have been adjusted, supplemented, and adapted, hoping to bring you joy, beautiful memories, and a sense of beauty.
