My name is Ma Xiaohui, a member of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Zhi Gong Party and an erhu performer. A few days ago, I created the erhu qin poem "Dawn - On the Road" to pay tribute to the most beautiful retrograde!

The background for the creation of this piece stems from the personal experience and true feelings of the 26 million people of this international metropolis, together with the 26 million people of this international metropolis, as Shanghai enters a critical moment in the fight against the epidemic in 2022.

For more than a month, I have responded to the call, "staying at home", and together with thousands of people on both sides of the Pujiang River, I have used the silence of the city to guard the prosperity of the sea for a century, used the suspension of life to fuel future traffic, and used the seclusion of work. Accumulate creative power. Although the streets of Shanghai are already empty, I and everyone in this city are the same. In fact, we are still on the road. We are all on the road to fight the epidemic with one heart and one mind. on the way. Shanghai's fight against the epidemic is a race against time. We must get ahead of the virus, resolutely clear the situation dynamically, allow Shanghai to resume work and production, and usher in the dawn of victory.

During this time of walking hand in hand, I have seen the hard work of medical workers on the front line of fighting the epidemic all day long. I have seen countless volunteers from all over the country dressed in white and busy day and night. I have also seen all citizens. The warmth of the neighbors' mutual support and encouragement, and all these efforts are for us to get out of our homes as soon as possible, to re-experience the grandness of the World Architecture Expo on the Bund, to look up to the majesty of the skyscrapers in the new era in Lujiazui, and to renew the next time on Huaihai Road. This restaurant with rich red sauce, re-order a cup of fragrant freshly ground coffee in Xintiandi...

Therefore, I felt a sense of heart, and wrote the "narrative music prose poem" "Dawn—On the Road" to present and express the description in a three-dimensional manner, so as to encourage and inspire each other with everyone.

In terms of creative form, this musical prose poem adopts a layer-by-layer progressive narrative creative structure, breaking the conventional music creation form and pattern, using unconventional performance techniques to render emotions and atmosphere, and using three-time waltz music The melody is the theme melody, with constant variations and changes... Let the text and the rhythm of the music be combined, and the music and the text echo each other, forming three different "text, music, recitation atmosphere parts".

The erhu especially uses the tuning of the first degree. The opening introduction starts with the color of B flat, and goes straight to the festive movement of the music, to the core of the title... With a soothing solemn and slightly tense and depressing rhythm, it expresses the normality of our life in a metropolis, and The touch of emergencies, as well as our concern about the epidemic in Shanghai and the tension of fighting... The theme part is gradually affectionate, expressing our desire and nostalgia for the colorful life and work scenes in Shanghai before the shutdown, and then turned into a bright C major key ...The last fifth of the two-tone climax is exciting, expressing our confidence that we will surely walk through this unusual road, reach the end of victory, see the dawn, and usher in the dawn.

We are walking on the road, holding the anti-epidemic lamp in our hands. We know that there is always an end to the road at night. Dawn, on the way!
