"Let us roar the oars, the boat pushes away the waves, the sea reflects the beautiful white tower, surrounded by green trees and red walls, the boat gently floats in the water, and a cool wind blows towards us..."
955, the film " Flowers of the Motherland " directed by Yan Gong , directed by the director of the work " Sanmao Wandering ", was released, not only quickly became popular all over the country, but also won the first prize of the Second Youth Literary and Art Creation Award!
After the film was popular, the song "Let's Roars", which is the interlude of this film, also spread across the country with the popularity of the film and was loved by countless viewers.
But many people don’t know that for , the famous film composer and singer Liu Chi , the song "Let’s Boat" is just one of his many classic works.
As a very outstanding composer in my country, although Liu Chi is not very famous in the public, he has written one popular and familiar song after another.
From "Let's Boats" to "Hero's Hymn", to "My Motherland", as well as works such as "Ode to the Motherland" and "The Cradle of the Guardian", are all classics among the classics.
In addition, he also created classic operas such as " White-haired Girl ", "Shepherd Girl", and "Worker Chorus", as well as children's choruses such as "Heroic Boy" and "Swan Song". He even participated in the production of the third set and the sixth set of radio gymnastics music in !
It is also because of his development and achievements in music that since he became famous, he has been recognized and loved by his peers in the music industry.
However, unlike his career, Liu Chi, who has a rich emotional history, was once criticized by the media and the public for his trivial matters in his relationship.
He had two marriages in his life, and he quickly remarried his wife less than a year after divorced from his ex-wife. This has already attracted a lot of criticism from the media. Three years after his death, his ex-wife and his two wives went to court, making him the focus of public opinion once again...

Liu Chi's original name was Liu Deyin . He once used the name "Xiaoshan". He was born in 1921 and is from Xi'an, Shaanxi. He grew up in an ordinary family. His father was a bank employee and his mother was a traditional housewife.
Because he showed extremely high musical talent since he was a child, his father's income was relatively stable at that time, so he sent him to folk artists near his home to learn drum music.
Liu Chi did not disappoint his father. With his natural musical talent and continuous efforts the day after tomorrow, he quickly learned basic music knowledge. The artist who taught him drums and music at that time was particularly optimistic about his development prospects.
It’s a pity that this kind of life that can learn music with peace of mind suddenly left him when he was nine years old.
For various reasons, when he was nine years old, his father lost his job from the bank. After losing a stable source of income, their family's life quickly became difficult and depressed.
In order to relieve the pressure at home, Liu Chi not only gave up on continuing to learn music, but also took the initiative to run to the temple near his home to clean the Buddhist temple, hoping to make a living in this way.
After coming here, he accidentally met a band playing ancient music. After that, he cleaned the Buddhist temple and learned from the seniors in the band. Not long after, he learned Xiao, Di, Yunluo and all percussion instruments , laying a solid foundation for his later music career.
933, 12-year-old Liu Chi was admitted to the Xijing Press Library and became an employee of the press library's word casting workshop. Although his income was low at that time, he would take it back and hand it over to his father every time he got his salary.
After staying in the press library for three years, he joined the Red Army team at the age of 15. Because he was still young at that time, he was first sent to the Red Army University as a student. Because he showed his artistic talent during his studies, he was soon sent to the Red Army Drama Club to be an actor.
At that time, Liu Chi's name was Liu Deyin. Because of his cheerful personality, he often sang loudly in the team.
Once, he hummed the song happily as usual. When a leader saw it, he joked: "This kid is like a little flame, a mouth that can sing, two thick and heavy eyebrows, like a person composed of the words "hot burning". What is the name Liu Deyin? Just call it Liu Chi!"
At that time, everyone in the team thought that the name Liu Chi was indeed very consistent with Liu Chi's image, and then they kept calling him like this. Unexpectedly, as they called him, everyone slowly forgot Liu Chi's original name, and Liu Chi had to change his name to Liu Chi.
During this period, Liu Chi has been working hard to learn music knowledge, but the one who really lets him open the door of music was after he was admitted to Lu Xun Academy of Arts and Literature.
.
In 1938, Lu Xun Academy of Arts and Literature was established. This college gathered a large number of outstanding teachers at that time, but the lineup of teachers in the music department was strong.
For example, our familiar music theorist Lu Ji is responsible for teaching free music composition in it. The famous Chinese female singer Zhou Bichang is his great-granddaughter.
In addition to Lu Ji, Xian Xinghai, a famous musician and pianist known as the "people's musician", also served as the school's teaching work at that time, responsible for teaching composition and conducting majors.
At the same time, a large number of outstanding music workers such as Xiang Yu and Du Yajia participated in the teaching work of the school. For music students, the music department of this school at that time could be said to be the cradle of countless music students' dreams, and among these many music students, Liu Chi, who loves music, was included.
In April 1939, in the second year of the establishment of Lu Xun Academy of Arts and Literature, Liu Chi applied for the music department of the school with his musical dream and became a student of musician Xian Xinghai.
The difference between the current music candidates is that Liu Chi was very simple when the exam was taken. Xian Xinghai asked him to sing two songs, and then asked him to talk about his understanding of these two songs. After listening to him, he thought he was talented and accepted him.
After becoming Xian Xinghai's apprentice, Liu Chi's musical level quickly improved significantly with the help of the other party, and soon he wrote his first song in his life, "Love Songs in Northern Shaanxi", and later he wrote songs such as "Ding Ding Tang" and "Fighting Songs".
After studying with Xian Xinghai at Luxun College of Arts and Literature for more than a year, Liu Chi left here after graduation and began his music creation career.
,
Relying on his natural musical talent, he has been constantly learning and absorbing. After graduation, he has created many excellent works and has also gone to the Northeast to carry out many music-related activities.
In 1942, after the song "Sorrow and Joy" he created was released, it quickly gained recognition from countless audiences and caused a huge response.
After that, his works such as "Victory Inspiration", "Workers' Chorus", and "Busy Production" have also been loved by the public one by one.
While his career is developing steadily, Liu Chi also gained his love during this period and got together with his ex-wife Liu Chun.
Liu Chun, 9 years younger than Liu Chi, was born in 1930. He is from Dalian, Liaoning. He was a colleague of his workplace at that time. They were together not long after they met, and became a sweet lover.
950, with the consent of the work unit, 29-year-old Liu Chi and 20-year-old Liu Chun entered the palace of marriage. They were happy and sweet after marriage, and gave birth to three daughters and one son in a few years after marriage.
In order to allow Liu Chi to develop his career with peace of mind, Liu Chun once gave up his career after marriage, took care of his husband and children at home, and took good care of his family and four children. During this period, Liu Chi quickly developed his career.
First, he was transferred to the Beijing Central Academy of Drama Song and Dance Troupe the second year after his marriage, and worked as a composition work. During this period, he completed music created for dramas such as "Lotus Dance", "Peach Blossom Fan", "Shagongdaro" and " song and dance drama . After
, in order to develop better, he entered the film industry and began to compose music and music for film works. It was this choice that made him completely popular in the industry.
955, he created "Let's Roars", a children's feature film "Flowers of the Motherland", which was loved by countless people after the film was popular.
Later, this song also entered countless primary and secondary school campuses, and became a song that countless people sang when they were students. Even if they were put to this day, they still won’t feel outdated.
.
After becoming famous for "Let's Roar", in 1956, after director Shamun finished filming the work " Shangganling ", in order to attract more people's attention, he specially invited the famous lyricist Qiao Yu to write the lyrics of the song "My Motherland" for this film.
After the lyrics came out, Shameng quickly found Liu Chi and asked him to compose the song. In order not to disappoint Shameng, Liu Chi could be said to have racked his brains when composing the song.
Even in order to avoid others disturbing his creation, he even posted a note on the door, which read: "Liu Chi is dead."
Later, after the film was popular, the song "My Motherland" also spread rapidly across the country with the works and was loved by countless people.
The lasting song has a simple but fresh melody that is really unforgettable. The melody of the beginning of the two lines "A big river waves wide, and the wind blows the rice flowers blows on both sides of the shore" is still impressive!
, and Liu Chi, who has become popular in the circle with the two songs "Let's Roar" and "My Motherland", has completely brought his career to its peak.
After this, his works, such as "Soft Sunshine", "Blooming on the Cliff", "Holy Hymns", "Ode to the Motherland", etc., have become popular classic melodies that have accompanied countless generations and countless people.
But because he is the composer standing behind him, and the public is concerned about the person singing on the stage, so for the general public, few people know his name.
However, for his colleagues in the music industry, everyone can be said to be well-known for his name, just because he left a strong touch of color on the broad road of the Chinese music industry.
It’s a pity that his career was developing rapidly at that time. Because he encountered a special period of ten years, his career not only encountered a bottleneck, but his first marriage was also over.
.
After the special period began, Liu Chi, who was affected, lost his past glory and glory and was sent to the countryside to participate in labor.
At that time, his wife Liu Chun lived hard alone with four children. In this state, the relationship between the couple was difficult to maintain. But at that time, Liu Chi also met a female student who was 22 years younger than him, named Li Ronggong.
Li Ronggong has long admired the talented Liu Chi, so since she met Liu Chi, she has been in close contact with Liu Chi. As a result, as she learned more and more, she fell in love with this man more and more.
. Liu Chi naturally liked Li Ronggong, who was full of youthful vitality and had no idea about appearance. Unfortunately, since he was married at that time, the two of them only expressed their affection through letters, and did not go beyond morality.
Later, Li Ronggong, like Liu Chi, gained a marriage and gave birth to two children after marriage, but she knew in her heart that this marriage was not what she wanted.
During this period, she and Liu Chi remained in touch, and even went to visit him when Liu Chi was sent to the countryside to participate in labor.
Later, with a gust of spring breeze blowing across the country, after the special period ended, Liu Chi returned to Beijing to work and continued to develop his music career.
At this time, Li Ronggong had divorced her husband and lived alone with her children. In order to pursue the love she wanted in her heart, she resolutely took the children to Beijing.
In 1981, Li Ronggong settled down in Beijing. After that, Liu Chi, who had always had contact with her, often visited her. As the saying goes, he became familiar with her again and again. As the number of times he had been in contact, the two gradually became secretly in love.
On the other hand, Liu Chi's wife Liu Chun and his children also slowly learned about the interactions between him and Li Ronggong and began to obstruct him from continuing to interact with each other.
Regrettably, since Liu Chi had not had much feelings for his wife at that time, and the relationship between him and Li Ronggong was getting better and better, although his family strongly opposed it, it still did not stop him.
989, after a few years of ties with his wife Liu Chun, 68-year-old Liu Chi officially ended her marriage with her. In the same year, Liu Chi, who had been divorced for less than a year, quickly remarried Li Ronggong and reaped new happiness.
,
Since marrying his remarried wife Li Ronggong, Liu Chi left his original family and has been living with Li Ronggong.
Although he and Li Ronggong were only 46 years old when they got married, he was already 68 years old. Therefore, they did not have children after marriage, but enjoyed their platonic love happily.
Since Liu Chi had retired at that time and his creative ability was not as good as before, he did not bring many new works to the public after his second marriage, and very few works with high singing skills. In addition, his life has always been very low-key after his remarriage, and he gradually faded out of the public's sight.
On October 23, 1998, after living peacefully with his remarried wife Li Ronggong for 9 years, Liu Chi passed away due to illness at the age of 77.
I thought that after his death, his love, hate and affection between him and his ex-wife and his remarried wife would disappear, but what happened later told us that this was not the case.
In 2001, three years after Liu Chi's death, his remarried wife Li Ronggong talked about the relationship between the three of them in an interview with the media. After media reports, his ex-wife Liu Chun felt that he had been slandered and insulted by his post-wife, so he angrily sued his post-wife Li Ronggong to court and went to court with her.
According to Liu Chun's request, the other party needs to apologize to her and compensate her for a loss of 100,000 yuan.
However, because Li Ronggong later took out relevant evidence of what she said, after the court trial, all Liu Chun's request was rejected, and Li Ronggong won the case, and the lawsuit between the two came to an end.
I guess even Liu Chi didn't expect that after his death, the two women who were closely related to him could still reach the point of going to court during his lifetime. This is really sad.
.
Now it has been 24 years since Liu Chi's death. Over the past 24 years, all kinds of things have happened every day, and the families who were closely related to him during his lifetime have begun a new life.
First of all, Liu Chi's ex-wife Liu Chun, who has been living with her children over the years. She is grateful for her efforts and care when she was young. Her children are very filial and take good care of her later years.
And Liu Chi's four children are living very well now. Not only have they formed their own families, but they also make their lives particularly wonderful.
Among them, his youngest daughter Liu Yingying has embarked on the road of music like him, and with years of development, she has now become a famous female musician and pianist in my country.
However, compared with Liu Chi's development back then, Liu Yingying still has a long way to go if she wants to achieve something like her father. I hope she will continue to work hard.
As for Liu Chi's remarried wife Li Ronggong, she went abroad to live after she sued Liu Chi's ex-wife and did not return to life in China until 2008.
Maybe it was because she had experienced two marriages, or because she loved Liu Chi too deeply, and she couldn't let go of the other party after her death. She had not started a new relationship over the years.
Now she is 79 years old, enjoying her old age alone. Although her life is dull, her life is still very good.
In fact, as a composer, judging from the works created by Liu Chi, such as "Let's Roar", "My Motherland", and "Hero's Hymn", he is definitely a very excellent composer.
can be seen from the popularity of the works he created and the public's love for these works.
As for the trivial matters about his relationship, whether they are really as criticized by the media, as they are cheating in marriage, having an affair, or other various problems, it is not important to the public.
After all, what everyone pays attention to and likes is his works, the classic melodies he left behind, rather than his various scandal anecdotes.
At the very least, just judging from the excellent works created by Liu Chi during his lifetime, he is really an artist worthy of the public's support and love.
