On the afternoon of May 30, Central Civilization Office released the "China Good People List" for the first quarter of 2022. Wang Yifu, a retired cultural cadre in Zhushan County, Shiyan, was honored on the list and was rated as a Chinese good person of helping others.

Wang Yifu is 71 years old this year, a member of the Communist Party of China, and is now the head of the "Wang Yifu Studio" of the New Era Civilization Practice Center of Zhushan County, Shiyan. For more than 40 years, from Xiao Wang to Lao Wang, from the cultural station manager to the retirement, Wang Yifu has always been keen on promoting traditional culture, giving full play to his singing expertise, devoted himself to the civilized practice of the new era in the form of "speaking, singing, acting, and speaking", and preaching the party's theoretical policies with singing, which is called "the mountains and green" by the people.

"Labs in the Deep Mountains" which is loved by the masses

As soon as the sun sets, the lights in the central square of Baofeng Town, Zhushan County will light up. The opening gongs and drums sounded, making people's heart beat. The sisters in the village carried colorful dry boats in their hands and shouted to appear. The one who acted as a playful boatman was the "King of Singers" Wang Yifu. The thin "King of Singers" twisted his waist flexibly, as if he was sailing on the water; the "King of Singers"'s voice lit up, and the square was soon filled with people inside and outside.

Live audio:

I will promote the moral star.

The morality of people is the key.

Don’t do bad things for people,

Eat deliciously and sleep well,

Don’t deceive the young and don’t cheat,

Civilization and politeness are praised,

Respect the elderly and love the young and be a model.

...

Colorful Boat Song is staggered and unrestrained. The voice of "King of Singing" Wang Yifu is rough and bold. What he sang in the song is the creation of "Ten Star Civilized Households" in Zhushan County. He has been singing the colorful boat song for more than 40 years. The "King of Singing" Wang Yifu can sing more than 3,000 lyrics, all of which are adapted from the "likable poems" and "rhymes" that the people like.

Zhushan County has a long history of colorful boat songs, and adults and children can sing a few paragraphs. During the festival, people only use a set of earthen gongs and drums, a yard of people, and a few singers sang improvised around the colorful lotus boat.

When it comes to Wang Yifu's colorful boat song, the villagers have endless stories to tell. When there is a dispute in the neighborhood, he uses singing to resolve it; when there is resistance in rural work, he uses singing to promote it; when there is a new agricultural technology, he uses singing to promote it... The villagers affectionately call him the "King of Singing".

Wang Yifu has been performing around with his father's Dragon Boat Team since he was a child, and has been deeply influenced by his eyes and has been deeply influenced. In 1977, Wang Yifu was recruited as the webmaster of the Majiadu Town Cultural Station, and since then he devoted his life to the party’s propaganda and cultural undertakings and the people’s beautiful yearning for spiritual and cultural life. A pen, a camera, and a good voice are his three magic weapons. Writing press releases, speeches and lyrics, recording the wonderful moments of the changes of the times, and singing a happy new life for the masses has become his work and life.

His singing has been floating for more than 40 years, and the masses never get tired of listening to it. It originated from Wang Yifu's admiration for culture and his deep feelings for making the masses happy. Since becoming a cultural webmaster, he has written brand new lyrics of the boat songs and invited local boat song experts to form a boat song team. Every year from the 30th day of the 12th lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he takes his flower drum boat singing team to tour 20 brigades of the whole club, and takes turns singing self-written and directed boat songs. Whenever his gongs and drums sounded, men, women, young and old in each village quickly put down their work and flocked to him. As soon as Wang Yifu started singing, the noisy scene suddenly became quiet, and even a two or three-year-old child snuggled in the adult's arms without crying or making a fuss. Wang Yifu was praised by the people as a "pistachio" and praised him as a "lag in the mountains".

In the early 1990s, Zhushan County launched a "Ten Star Civilized Household" selection activity. Wang Yifu, who was the propaganda committee member of Majiadu Town, then changed the evaluation conditions of "Ten Star Civilized Household" to five-sentence flower drum boat songs, quick-plate , three-character classic , etc., and sang them in 90 villagers' groups in 20 villages in the town. The lyrics were catchy and the people could understand them as soon as they heard them.Among them, a poem he created that reflects family planning stars, "There are many stars in the sky and many moons, many underground pits and roads are uneven, there are many vines and trees on the mountain, and it is difficult to grow if there are too many children, so it is difficult to adulthood. You must have fewer children and good students" was interviewed and broadcasted by CCTV, which promoted the family planning policy well. In the past 30 years, Wang Yifu has continuously revised the lyrics of the Ten Star Flower Drum Boat several times around the creation of ten stars, building beautiful villages, local development, and policy publicity. He has successively created more than 1,000 ten Star Flower Drum Boat songs, compiled more than 600 of them, and published more than 2,000 ten-star theme boat song albums of "Star Songs Loud", which has infected 100,000 "star chasers", and the masses affectionately called him the "Ten Star Song King".

In 2011, after retirement, Wang Yifu became a cultural volunteer again, committed to the organization of cultural heritage and cultural propaganda. He has successively published four regional culture series, including "Flower Drum and Boat Song", "Singing the Star Song", "Inheriting Regional Culture and Singing Core Values", and "Shi Yang's Journey", with a total of more than 5,000 volumes, all of which are free to all walks of life, becoming an artistic treasure for the masses to interpret Zhushan local civilization, customs and regional culture. Since August 2017 alone, he has gone deep into government agencies, schools, villages and enterprises in various places, and has volunteered to more than 140 sessions for more than 100,000 people, with a total of 375 hours.

Song for the people and the times

"Folk songs come from the people, and their task is to serve the people. Once it is separated from the masses, it will wither." Wang Yifu said. For more than 40 years, he has written and sang boat songs, always keeping in mind the original intention of "singing for the people", keeping up with the times, being close to the masses, and creating and singing among the masses.

Wang Yifu constantly combined the Party’s policies and policies at various historical stages, and used the "little poems", "rhymes", " three and a half ", colored lotus boats, lion dances, and other forms that are popular with the masses, to write, direct and perform more than 1,000 "connecting the antenna from the top and down to the ground" flower drum boat songs, which were written, directed and performed by themselves in 17 townships and 254 villages in the county, spreading the Party’s theoretical policies to thousands of households, and more than 300,000 people were deeply educated.

In order to promote the construction of beautiful villages, he compiled popular rural slang songs such as "Ten Advise People Don't Gamble", "Ten Singing about the Reproductive Civilization Brings New Great Changes in Rural Areas", "Don't Forget All the Villagers to Get Rich", "Singing to Be Civilized and Harmonious People", and "Six Aunts' Exaggerated Great Changes", such as "The industry is getting better and better, and the people are getting richer and richer. The results of targeted poverty alleviation are obvious, and urban and rural areas are changing everywhere, as if an 18-year-old girl is getting better and better..." The humorous tune and the popular and clear connotation are very popular and clear, and the people like to listen to it.

In order to enhance the people's legal concepts and educate people to abide by the law, he wrote and sang songs such as "Singing Eight Honors and Remembering Eight Shames", "Ten Singing Supervision Law", "Sweeping Organized Evil and Eliminating Evil and Ensuring Safety", "Theme Song of "Two Studies and One Practice", "Three Character Songs" of Integrity Culture", "Core Values ​​Song"; In order to promote the policy of targeted poverty alleviation, he compiled a series of classic songs such as "Top Poverty Alleviation Is Good", "Ten Singing Precision Poverty Alleviation", and "Singing Six Major Actions for Spiritual Poverty Alleviation", which is very suitable for the people's appetite.

In order to promote "Ten Stars Creation and Spiritual Poverty Alleviation", Wang Yifu promptly revised the lyrics of the Flower Drum Boat in "Ten Stars Song" based on changes in the star evaluation conditions, "Ten stars and ten lights, the moon shines on every day, according to the standards of the ten stars, standardize everyone's words and actions, and the stars lead the way to the future." In order to promote the transformation of customs and the establishment of a new trend of civilization, he compiled the "Six Sings of New Style of Zhushan Festival Ceremony", which was a new song of old operas to educate the masses to organize civilized and eliminate extravagance and waste.

of the 19th National Congress just ended, Wang Yifu immediately wrote the "Report of the 19th National Congress is astonishing" and "Welcome the 19th National Congress to Sing New Great Changes", "Xi Jinping, the core of the Party, the report of the 19th National Congress is astonishing as the world, the grand blueprint and new plan, the whole country is jubilant, and praises the Party's true wisdom..." It not only promoted the main theme, spread the new culture, but also promoted the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in an easy-to-understand manner.

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up, Wang Yifu actively created flower drum boat songs such as "Folk Songs and Singing Core Values" and "Ten Singings to Implement Supervision Law". Among them, familiar sentences such as "New great changes have occurred in the countryside, the earthen walls have been replaced with red bricks in the past, the new houses of mediocre schools are connected to pieces, and the Guzhu Expressway is connected to Zhushan, making it more convenient to live in the countryside", "No worries about food and clothing, take out banks have deposits, and now catch up with good times, and live a sweeter life than honey" have become home-cooked songs for the people after dinner, greatly enhancing the happiness of the people.

In recent years, Wang Yifu, who is nearly 70 years old, has felt more and more that he has started to cultivate cultural inheritors. He actively united with cultural volunteer groups from all walks of life to continuously expand the team of cultural inheritors, recruited 5 direct disciples, and imparted all his knowledge for more than 40 years. In addition, he also vigorously carried out the promotion and popularization of boat song culture, taught more than 300 students step by step to master the skills of color boat , and trained more than 50 boat song artists.

In 2018, Zhushan County launched the pilot construction of the New Era Civilization Practice Center. Wang Yifu kept pace with the times and established Wang Yifu Studio to attract and drive more grassroots people to participate in the civilized practice of the new era. Focusing on the spirit of the Fourth and Fifth Plenary Sessions of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the revitalization of townships, and the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party, Wang Yifu has carefully created lyrics such as "Praise the Centenary of the Party" and "Ten Singings of the Countryside to Revitalize the Countryside", using literary and artistic forms such as flower drum boat songs and Fishing Drum to revitalize the Party's theory, so that the Party's innovative theories can "fly into the homes of ordinary people."

Use singing to sing

Wang Yifu's singing can not only bring joy to others, but also use songs to resolve conflicts and disputes.

In 2011, an old man named Hu from Shuangmiao Village, Baofeng Town was beaten to death by his daughter-in-law Zhang because he had not finished the scheduled farm work and did not give him food. The old man found Wang Yifu to complain. While sending the elderly to the hospital for treatment, Wang Yifu educated his daughter-in-law Hu using the edited "Song of Elderly and Respect for the Wise", "Natural rules are for people to grow old, and people should have a support when they are old. To raise children and raise daughters, they should respect and be filial to the elderly. It is better for the ancients to say that filial piety is not as good as a daughter-in-law, and filial piety is not as good as a son-in-law. The whole family respects the elderly in all sizes, and the society and family are harmonious." The song quickly spread in the village. The daughter-in-law surnamed Hu was deeply ashamed after hearing this, and apologized to her father-in-law in time and took him home to support him carefully.

The father surnamed Wen in Baishahe Village fought against his son because he opposed his son's gambling. The surname Wang and Yu in Shangba Village have had conflicts over building houses and are preparing to go to the county to petition. Wang Yifu promptly used the Song of Unity and Friendship to educate them, "Neighbors talk about unity, and mutual help is convenient, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talk about unity, mutual care and feelings are connected, husband and wife talk about unity, overcome the great difficulties of heaven, and a country talks about unity, no one dares to bully us. Today I will persuade the world and unite with the king forever." The person involved suddenly woke up after hearing this. From then on, the Wang no longer went to petition, and the father and son surnamed Wen also became kind and filial.

The New Year of 2020, the new crown pneumonia came, and Wang Yifu became a volunteer for epidemic prevention and control without hesitation. He could not go out to gather, so Wang Yifu started to create at home to fight the epidemic and recorded it into audio and hand it over to the government for playback. Some people were anxious about their income and had difficulty living. Wang Yifu gave psychological comfort through the phone and took out his small salary to help the surrounding residents buy daily necessities to solve their urgent needs.

For more than 40 years, Wang Yifu has consciously played the dual role of "mediator" and "educator". When he saw that there was no elderly care in rural areas, he compiled songs such as "Song of Elderly care", when there was a disagreement between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he compiled songs such as "Unity and Friendship" and "Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law", when there was a phenomenon of teenagers not learning well, he compiled songs such as "Ten Advised Youths", and when there were no policies, he compiled songs such as "Birth Civilization is Very Good"... Over the past 40 years, Wang Yifu has created and sang more than 1,000 kinds of admonishment songs, resolved more than 300 conflicts and disputes such as family discord and neighborhood disunity, successfully prevented 4 petitions and saved 13 marriages and families on the verge of breakdown.

As a retired cadre, Wang Yifu has a monthly salary of only more than 4,000 yuan, but he is never stingy when helping others.He joined hands with other charitable organizations to actively carry out charitable student assistance activities, and helped more than 10 poor students including Luo Longyu and Wang Han successfully complete their studies through multiple channels. Many of them have become elites now. He Nenghua, a poor household in Xiaba Village, was blind. His son He Wentao was mentally ill. Wang Yifu paid many money to treat He Wentao to buy medicine and help He Wentao's mother Wang Xiuzhen find a job... Over the past 40 years, as many as 200 people have been helped by Wang Yifu for free, and people affectionately called him "Old Wang".

Now, Wang Yifu is old, but his spirit of helping others is "rejuvenation". He has created more and more new songs, and he has led more and more apprentices and literary teams. He is busy every day. He either creates new songs or teaches skills in his studio, or goes out to carry out volunteer service activities such as voluntary propaganda, cultural heritage, and public civilization persuasion. "I want to take advantage of myself and have plenty of time at present, and devote all my accumulated cultural wealth to my fellow villagers, so as to better lead them to embrace the new era with happiness." Every time Wang Yifu faces the camera or interview, he is always passionate.
