Prose poems written by my father (original version):

In 1984, the crops had not been harvested yet

My daughter was sleeping so soundly in my arms Sweet

I don’t have time to watch the outdoor movie tonight

My wife reminded me to repair the pedal of the sewing machine

I will go to my neighbor’s house tomorrow to borrow some money< /p>

The child cried all day long and clamored for cookies

The pain in the blue polyester top pierced my heart

I squatted by the pond and gave it to myself Two punches

This is the text in my father's diary

This is the prose poem left over from his youth

Many years later, I watched the tears flow Not only

But my father has become as old as a shadow

The crops had been harvested in 1994

My old mother passed away last year< /p>

My daughter ran into the campus with a ponytail

But she has been a little lonely recently and has lost a lot of weight

Thinking about the future, I will become a pile of old paper money when I grow old.

My daughter will be stunningly beautiful at that time

A man who loves her will marry her home

But thinking about this, I can’t bear to look at her A glance

These are the words in my father's diary

This is the prose poem he left behind in his life

A few Ten years later, I couldn’t stop crying when I saw it

But my father was as old as an old newspaper

An old newspaper

The story on it is a lifetime Dong Yufang: Tenderness of an Iron Man

After "Prose Poems Written by My Father" became popular, Dong Yufang was also dug out by people. This man from Shandong, who was born in 1984, joined the army at the age of 18 and eventually became a "literary soldier". ", wrote a large number of poems and songs, and met his comrade Xu Fei in the Chengdu Military Region, which led to later cooperation.

When Dong Yufang was looking through his father's diary, he found that his father looked at the crying child and wanted to buy biscuits for the child. Because he had no money, he had to find a way to borrow it from a neighbor... He wrote poetry about the true stories recorded in his father's diary, which is why the song begins with "1984."

After listening to this song "Sewing Machine", do you feel that it has the same artistic conception as "Prose Poems Written by My Father"? The lyrics are very realistic and express maternal love sincerely. That sentence "There was a cold north wind on a winter night, and you stepped on the sewing machine and called me a little bastard. The little waistcoat you sewed for me, I said I didn't want to wear it because it looked ugly." Even if your mother didn't use a sewing machine to make clothes for you, It also reminds me of many similar scenes from my childhood.

Dong Yufang also wrote several lyrics for Xu Fei, "Youth Goes Wandering" and "Train Passing Begonia" are both classics; he also wrote "I Believe" and "Storm" for the band Lingdian. Xu Fei: Thank you Brother Jian

Xu Fei said on a program on Jilin Satellite TV in her hometown that after composing "Prose Poems Written by My Father", she did not even have the confidence to include the song in the album because singing her father's songs was too More than that, I only put one single on the Internet, and not many people knew about it.

Until the spring of 2017, Brother Jian, who did not use WeChat, sent three text messages to Xu Fei, who never read text messages, saying that he wanted to cover this song "Prose Poems Written by My Father". I waited for several days but no response was received. When the reply arrived, Brother Jian left a message for Xu Fei on Weibo. Only then did Xu Fei see the unread text message and quickly called Li Jian back, which led to this cooperation.

Xu Fei’s MV singing this song also became popular on the Internet. Compared with Brother Jian’s deliberate restraint of emotion when singing the cover, she was so emotionally involved when singing that many people thought it was her. Regarding his own story, some articles even stated that Li Jian's cover did not have Xu Fei's emotional investment and could not surpass the original version.

Xu Fei sincerely thanked Brother Jian in Jilin Satellite TV's program. It was Li Jian's cover that made this unknown song famous and made many people understand Xu Fei. The "Super Girl" who became famous with "That Summer".

I like this kind of mutual support, because when you help others, you also open a window for yourself. Li Jian: You are proud of me, but I have never been proud of you

Li Jian’s emotions towards his father are complicated. Before this song, he wrote the song "Father" by himself. A true inner monologue.

Among them, the sentence "You are proud of me, but I have never been proud of you. I am always ashamed that you are so generous." It expresses his inner guilt for his father, and it is also a kind of relief.

Li Jian’s father is an opera artist. Li Jian has been exposed to opera since he was a child, but his father opposed his son’s music career. When he was in junior high school, Li Jian wanted a guitar, but his father did not agree. , fearing that it would affect his studies, he hoped that Li Jian could have a normal and good job in the future instead of singing. Fortunately, Li Jian's mother supported him and bought him a guitar, which allowed Jian's music dream to persist.

Later, Li Jian was admitted to Tsinghua University because of his extra points for his musical achievements. After arriving at Tsinghua University, he found that there were many top students in the school. Li Jian wanted to drop out of school for a time, but only persisted in his studies with the encouragement of his parents' letters home. It was also in the letters home from his parents that Li Jian discovered that his father, who had always been silent and reserved, was actually "proud" of him.

After graduation, Li Jian resolutely embarked on the road of music after working as an engineer for a period of time. However, after the brief glory of his youth, his music career fell into silence. During this period, his father was suffering from cancer. He spent all his money on his father's surgery, which made his father shed tears. His father did not recover well after the operation. Li Jian sometimes had to carry his father to the toilet. Once his father gently said "Forgive Dad" on his shoulder. His father, who had reached the edge of his life, still did not want to trouble his children. . It is conceivable how many times Li Jian's father mustered up the courage to say these four words to his son. At this time, Li Jian must have been full of guilt in his heart, because at that time, he did not have enough conditions for his father to accept the final decision. After good treatment, his father's words "forgive dad" became a lingering story in Li Jian's heart.

In this 2017 "Singer" video, before singing "Prose Poems Written by My Father", there is a background introduction by Li Jian on the adaptation of this song. In addition to the details of communication with Xu Fei, He also mentioned himself and his father.

This dialogue also speaks to the aspirations of countless people born in the 1970s and 1980s. Neither we nor our parents can express our love for our children or parents with language and body like we and our children do now. Both parents and children are accustomed to hiding family affection deep in their hearts, but that kind of feeling is indeed tacit.

I believe many people have the same experience as Li Jian said, "Our generation keeps our fathers at a distance." When we were children, we were more in awe of our fathers, and sometimes we were even afraid. Because those who say harsh words or even physically punish their children are basically fathers. But when we grow up, we will find that our father's attitude towards us has also changed, and he will also care about our lives from time to time, and will be reluctant to leave home when we leave home.

It wasn’t until one day when we opened my father’s diary that we discovered that our father, who once seemed extremely strong to us, actually loved me so much and had cried because he could not give me good living conditions. I feel guilty... It is no exaggeration to say that there is no father who has never pretended to be strong.

In adapting this song, Li Jian not only changed the role of the lyrics from girls to boys, but also added a section to the climax of the lyrics, which includes my favorite line "This land once made me... The tears will not stop, he has buried the bitter past of many people." This sentence suddenly elevates the artistic conception of the lyrics, which can be said to have risen to the height of family and country feelings. Every time I hear these lyrics, the mountains and rivers of my hometown flood my mind, and I think of my parents, fellow villagers, and those who have passed away.

Before going on stage to sing, Li Jian said from the perspective of a professional musician that although he would cry when listening to this song, in order to achieve the effect of singing, he must control his emotions and express himself as much as possible. You have to be calm so as to give the audience the best experience. He also did it, and the whole audience sang it. Although his heart was filled with emotions, his expression remained solemn and solemn, without deliberately exaggerating the atmosphere. The audience in the audience was photographed with countless tears in their faces. I believe many people felt the same way. His own father.

Yue Yunpeng: If there was an elevator that went directly to heaven

Among the audience members who cried when Brother Jian sang, there was also Yue Yunpeng who later partnered with him in the singer finals. On April 30, 2017, Yue Yunpeng posted a message on Weibo Bo said: "After listening to "Prose Poems Written by My Father", I wrote several paragraphs about my father's memories. Each paragraph is true... I finished it while crying. I really wanted to ask God for a few hours to have a good time. Have a meal with my father."

Then, Xiao Yueyue wrote a prose poem for his father. Later, after being introduced by Li Jian, Dong Yufang helped him refine the lyrics, and Xu Fei composed the music for him. Xiao Yueyue cried and sang the song to his father, and Xu Fei also sang a version. The lyrics are as follows:

That spring I ran wildly to the wheat fields

I said to daddy, I will be thirteen tomorrow

I want to eat a bowl of TV instant noodles

You straightened up and pretended to wipe your sweat and wiped your eyes

In the first month of that year, I rolled up my quilt and left home

You said you should go to the wrong place. Flowers of flowers

The village chief’s house installed a telephone last year

If it’s urgent, just call, if not, just write a letter

If there was an elevator that went directly to heaven< /p>

How much I want to go to see you at all costs

Let you see my grades

Do you think I have some potential

If There is an elevator that goes straight to heaven

I will risk everything to see you

Let you see my children

They look like me and you

That autumn I sat with you at the dinner table

I lit a cigarette for you that I bought in the city

I said it was actually harder outside than at home

p>

You spent a long time saying that as long as you are safe

I rushed home in a hurry on New Year’s Eve that year

I gave you a mobile phone with a loud sound

I said if you miss me from now on, just press and hold 1

The ringtone that belongs to you will never ring again

If there is an elevator that goes straight to heaven

I I wish I could risk everything to see you

Let you see my achievements

Do you think I have some potential

If there is an elevator that goes straight to heaven< /p>

I will go to any lengths to see you

Let you see my children

They look like me and you

Unfortunately not Elevator to heaven

Only the land that cannot be returned

And my last question

Can I continue in the next life

As we all know, Yue Yunpeng, who came from rural Henan, suffered a lot to achieve what he is today. However, he lost his father when he was at the peak of his career. You can imagine the pain in his heart. The bowl of instant noodles on TV, the phone number at the village chief's house, the cigarettes bought in the city, and the loud mobile phone are the spiritual codes of the father and son who have gone through hardships and struggles, and they also experienced similar struggles at the same time. The same memories of people.

Yue Yunpeng's song was released on Father's Day, June 17, two years ago. Today, he may feel a little sad in his heart. Every father has a prose poem in his heart

I once sang the song "Prose Poetry Written by My Father" with my son. My son, who was only five years old at the time, could basically understand the meaning of the lyrics. I told him that the biscuits at that time were like the high-priced tutoring classes now. Not all children could afford them, so the father had to borrow money to buy them. I also remembered that my father would occasionally buy us rare snacks, the kind that would be remembered for a lifetime after eating them. Now, I also want to try my best to cook some delicacies for my children that he likes to eat.

Every father will have various emotions in the process of accompanying his children to grow up. In the female version of the lyrics, the father cannot imagine how his daughter will get married. In the male version of the lyrics, the father hopes that his daughter will get married. Children should not have such a difficult life when they grow up. These emotions transcend the times. Parents in the 1990s would think so, and so do we today.

Every father has such a prose poem in his heart, and every child has such a song singing about father's love in his heart. Every reserved father is full of affection in his heart

My father is also a typical father born in the 1950s. Before I went to high school, I almost never called "Dad". My father's role in the hearts of our three sisters The image is so majestic and cold. Later, when I grew up, I gradually discovered that my father actually cared for us no less than my mother. It was just that he was not good at expressing himself and only worked quietly to support the family and raise us.

The most affectionate expression of a reserved father should be at the wedding. Whether he is crying with joy when marrying his daughter-in-law or reluctant to leave when marrying his daughter-in-law, the father at this time will express his inner emotions. It's vivid and vivid, because now there is no need to cover up anymore, the child has married, and his life is finally complete.

I think this is another background factor of the so-called "separated generation of relatives". As parents get older, their desire to express emotions becomes stronger, but at this time, their children have grown up, and their desire to express emotions becomes stronger. I couldn’t hug her anymore, so I spent all my expressions of love on my grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

On the first day of Father’s Day, I received eggs from my father’s hometown. I called home to talk about this, and my father said that the eggs would go bad easily at home in the summer. Chickens won't lay eggs when it's hot for a while. In short, I don't say the truest intention, but I know in my heart that this should be what Brother Jian said tacitly. Be a father (mother) who can express love

As a father in the new era, I believe that fathers after our generation will no longer be reserved. From the moment a child is born, we will not begrudge ourselves Regarding the expression of love, children are influenced by us and often say "I love you, Dad, I love you, Mom". This is a reflection of the progress of the times.

Children have known Father’s Day since they entered kindergarten, and teachers will also ask them to make gifts for their fathers. This sense of ritual can indeed enhance the relationship between father and son. I received this painting with beautiful artistic conception this year, and it reminded me of the first lyric in Li Jian's "Father" - "Sitting on the shore and watching the sunset reminds me of you. The warm afterglow is as gentle as your loving eyes... ...." The child told his grandpa in the video yesterday that this is grandpa and dad...

Express love when it is there, let the children know the value of family affection, and realize the realization of the relationship between parents and children. Zero-distance communication is beneficial to children's learning and growth. Starting from us, we should pass on this family communication culture so that our descendants will become better and better able to express themselves, family relationships will be more harmonious, and the nation will become stronger.

Happy Father’s Day!
