Features: Since the invention of movies and television, people's lives have been enriched with more joy. Especially the songs in movies or TV dramas, as the films and TV shows are broadcast, they spread rapidly among hundreds of millions of viewers and are widely sung. Great film and television songs have been passed down for decades, influencing generations. In the 1930s, the Chinese sang "March of the Volunteers" to fight bravely against Japanese invaders and to build a new China, sacrificing themselves one after another. Today, this song has become the national anthem of the People's Republic of China, and it is even the loudest song in our hearts: "When the Chinese nation faces danger, we stand united, advancing forward through the gunfire of the enemy! Forward! Forward! Forward!" When the national flag of five stars rises, when "Shenzhou 6" flies into space, this song echoes in our ears, filling the hearts of the descendants of Yan and Huang with pride and passion. Over fifty years ago, with the release of the movie "The Flowers of Our Motherland," the song "Let’s Row in Pairs" became a hit across the country. Grandmas sang it while wearing the red scarf, and the older generation sang it through their childhoods during the reform and opening-up era. Today, children still sing it as they enter school, 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 movie "Battle at Shangganling" remains popular to this day. "Ode 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 on the streets and alleys in the 1980s, making people long for genuine human emotions. I remember that after the liberation of the new China, the country was still poor and backward. Therefore, we have selected a small part of the many film and television 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.
