March 21
A sad piece of news swept the screen
With the children in the mountains
Twice, he sang "Bird's Nest" with the sound of nature
Old Man Deng Xiaolan died suddenly
……
And in the TV show
We actually saw her again
Hear her chorus with the children
……
When the subtitles are typed out of the TV screen
The show is on March 16th
When she was recorded five days before her death
The tears could no longer be contained
At that moment, who could have imagined
She works with the children of the Maran Flower Children's Voice Choir
Slowly walk to the center of the stage
Emotionally sang This song of Li Bai
"Spring Night Los Angeles Smells flute" time
Her clear voice
And the clean child's voice of the kids
This incomparably moving natural sound is formed by the intersection
It was the song she left for the world
……
Elder Deng's chorus with the children
Only 5 days after the show was recorded
She left this world forever
Gone forever
Her lovely kids
……
NO.1
Deng Xiaolan's final chorus with the children
It's about folding willows
February 20
Folding willow farewell becomes
The Beijing Winter Olympics are reserved for the world
The most romantic scene
March 16
Deng Xiaolan and the children sang together
Li Bai's "Spring Night Los Angeles Flute"
It's also about folding willows
But it became the last song she left for us
Who's the jade flute flying darkly
Scattered into the spring breeze full of Los Angeles
Smell the willows in this nocturne
Who does not afford to be in the garden
Finish singing with the kids
The 79-year-old Deng Xiaolan
His face was full of smiles
That moment
She must have been in her heart
Very proud
Very relieved
Just like the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Winter Olympics
……
When she had 44 children
Sing at the Bird's Nest
Ode to the Olympics
The whole world fell silent
It was as if everything had become
So clean and translucent
……
Opening ceremony
The children sang for 140 seconds
Deng Xiaolan, who was sitting in the audience
I was so nervous that I couldn't breathe
Especially with a "little tiger"
Shake in the opposite direction
Her heart was pounding
The throat is gone

This cute and cute scene
It became the Beijing Winter Olympics
Leave it to the world
Classic warm picture
In the "Classic Arias" program
Speaking of the children's performance at the opening ceremony
Old Deng's eyes smiled into a slit
She said with particular pride:
How good my kids sing!
then
Immersed in the sound of natural children' sounds
No one can imagine
In greek under all eyes
A cappella completes the clear chorus of children
It turned out to be a group of people who had even spoken Mandarin
From 2020 just got rid of poverty
Dolls in the mountains of Fuping, Hebei
Their oldest is 11 years old
The youngest is only 5 years old
Before meeting Deng Xiaolan
Lots of kids
The farthest places I've been before
It is the county seat of Fuping County
……
Deng Xiaolan said:
When I receive the task of singing the opening ceremony song
Time is already running out
The song is long and complicated
But I believe in my children
They can do it!
In the next preparation time
Deng Xiaolan and he came from Beijing and Baoding
Professional teachers together
Teach the children sentence by sentence
One tone at a time
Teach how to talk and how to breathe
How each vowel is pronounced
Then how to sing
……
Speaking of kids every day
In addition to normal cultural lessons to study
Also on a daily basis
Morning, afternoon, evening
A total of five or six hours were squeezed out
Used when rehearsing
Elder Deng's face was full of pain
This is Deng Xiaolan
Every time I see her on TV
The old man with gray hair
Always with the kids
On the corners of her mouth
In the corner of the eye, between the eyebrows
It's all joy
Pride and contentment
……
However, few people know
Deng Xiaolan is in Malan Village, Fuping County, Hebei Province
Music has been teaching for 18 years
She had shed tears four times
……
NO.2
First tears:
The sound of the milk name brought tears to her eyes
In 1943
Deng Xiaolan was born in Hebei Province
Near Malan Village, Nanzhuang Town, Fuping County
Her father, Deng Tuo, was
President of Jin-Cha-Ji Daily
After the founding of New China
Served as the publisher of People's Daily

In 1953, Deng Tuo and Ding Yilan were in the People's Daily dormitory in Cinder Hutong
In 1997
More than 50 years after the village of Malan
Deng Xiaolan and sister Deng Xiaohong
The first time I returned to Fuping to visit the villagers
That
She asked the villagers:
"Do you know Chen Shouyuan?"
That's my daddy.
Be the old people in the village
He looked at her carefully
One side asked kindly
"You're a little Arashiko" time
Deng Xiaolan, whose hair was already gray
Tears burst out of his eyes
"More than half a century has passed
The villagers of Maran Village
I can still clearly call out my nipple name
……”
The village of Maran
This one is located deep in the Taihang Mountains
Small villages
It is the former site of the Jin-Cha-Ji Daily
location
The first "Selected Works of Mao Zedong"
Birthplace
Spring 1939
The newspaper went to the village of Maran for the first time
The villagers used wooden bars and ropes
Lifting, dragging
Transport heavy machines to the village
It was the period of the War of Resistance Against Japan
Deng Xiaolan's father
Deng Tuo, president of Jin-Cha-Ji Daily
Fight guerrillas with newspaper staff
One side wanders to the village of Maran
Taihang Mountain
Again and again in the enemy
The chase was intercepted
They still insist on reporting every day
It has created a miracle in the history of Chinese journalism
At the end of 1943
Japanese forces against the Taihang Mountains
A big "sweep" was carried out
Japanese soldiers who rushed into the village of Maran
Holding a bayonet
Press the villagers
The whereabouts of newspaper personnel and printing presses
The folks of The Village of Maran
None of them leaked secrets
Nineteen fellow villagers covered the newspaper comrades
Brutally killed!
Just in the same year
In a breakout operation
Deng Tuo's wife Ding Yilan
In a broken house near Seongnam village
A baby girl was born
This big kid
It was Deng Xiaolan
Deng Xiaolan took a group photo with his adoptive parents
After Deng Xiaolan was born
Fostered near the village of Maran
Chen Shouyuan and his wife's home
Exactly 3 years
Dry daddy, dry mother
He gave everything he could to raise her
Until 1946
Deng Xiaolan returned
By the side of the biological parents
So she used to tell people:
"I'm a Maran
I grew up eating the milk of my fellow Fuping villagers."
Years later
Mother Ding Yilan
Give Deng Xiaolan a stamp
It is engraved with the words "Descendants of MaLan"
Father Deng Tuo in the "Yanshan Night Talk" column

Signed "Manang Estate"
It expresses a deep attachment to the village of Malan
After returning to Beijing with his parents
Deng Xiaolan was admitted to Tsinghua University
She studied chemical engineering
After graduation, I aspire to arrive
"Go where the motherland needs"
Worked in a pharmaceutical factory in Tai'an, Shandong
He did not return to Beijing until 1995
Whether it's in Beijing or Shandong
The village of Maran
This little village has always been
Dreams haunted her
As we age
A sound
She was being called more and more intensely
Summon her back to that
A place connected to her flesh and blood

First return to the village of Maran
Daughter who left the countryside for half a century
Finally returned to his hometown
……
NO.3
Second tearing:
Warm the children with the light of the music
Say
Deng Xiaolan is in Malan Village
The first time it flows
It is the tears that are touched by the warmth of family affection
The second time it flows down is
Bitter, sad tears
It was Qingming Festival in 2003
Deng Xiaolan returned to Malan Village
Sweep the graves of the 19 martyrs who died
That day
More than 20 primary school students at Maran Elementary School
The commemorative ceremony was also attended
"Sing a song to your grandparents!"
After the event
Deng Xiaolan made suggestions with great anticipation
But the children had a complete song
Can't even hum it out!
"My heart was particularly desolate at that time
Unspeakably uncomfortable."
That night
She walked alone on the Rouge River
With tears in her eyes, I made up my mind
I must be for the folks of my hometown
Do something
For the children of the old revolutionary area
Do something!
In 2004
Deng Xiaolan after retirement
Became Maran Elementary School
The first music teacher
Face children who are completely unfamiliar with music
She started teaching from Doraemon
Start with the note scales being taught one by one
At that time, The Malan Village Elementary School
There are only 4 dilapidated school buildings
To build a music classroom
Deng Xiaolan not only took out his own pension
And mobilize your own
The younger brother and sister donated money together
Use the 40,000 yuan you made up
The original school building was turned over into 7 rooms

No musical instruments
Deng Xiaolan "changed his fate" everywhere.
Used by relatives and friends
Old accordion, violin, guitar
……
One by one, they were carried back to the village of Maran
From Beijing to Malan Village in Baoding
Although only 400 km
However, the traffic is extremely inconvenient
Deng Xiaolan, who is in his 60s
You have to take five or six modes of transportation at a time
It takes seven or eight hours to get there
And this is a difficult road
She has been since 2004
More than 20 round trips a year
In 2006
Deng Xiaolan picked 6 children
Use five or six instruments
Formed the "Maran Little Band"
from now on
Small black hands with mud on fingernail stitches
Play a Western instrument
The melody of "Edelweiss" and "Hawthorn Tree"
Reverberates deep in the mountains
Naughty kids
My voice lit up in the field
……
The daughter was too upset with her mother
Advised her several times:
"Most of the kids still have to go
The same old path as their fathers
Is music useful at this time? ”
Deng Xiaolan replied:
"I'm not making Maran's child
Both became students of the Conservatory of Music
It's about wanting them
Become good friends with music
Put on nature
Love for the motherland and hometown
Immersed in the soul."
"As long as he likes music
My goal was accomplished."

Third tear:
She finally heard the sound of flowers blooming
Music doesn't just bring joy to children
He also gave them the wings of dreams
She will never forget
October 2008
The Maran Band came out of the mountains for the first time
They held a ceremony in Beijing Zhongshan Park

The old people of the former Jin-Cha-Ji Daily newspaper
He was invited to watch the show
When the children sang Deng Tuo's lyrics
Deng Xiaolan composed the music
"Titled Tomb of the Martyrs of Maran"
An elderly man who once fought in Maran
Old Tears:
"The children's voices of these children
It hurts to hear."
That moment
Deng Xiaolan secretly resolved:
Maran's children too
Same as the kids in the city
Have a happy childhood
To let them see the outside world
Deng Xiaolan took Ma Lan's small band
Attend performances across the country
In 2012
Deng Xiaolan took Ma Lan's children
Appeared on the Spring Festival Gala on Beijing Satellite TV
Be the descendants of the generals
With Maran's little band
When singing "Our Fields"
The corners of Deng Xiaolan's eyes were moist
It's tears of happiness
Because in a moment
She really heard it
The sound of flowers blooming
Music for the children of the old district
More confident and more beautiful
Think of many adult music festivals across the country
Kids should also have music festivals when they are
Deng Xiaolan was immediately excited:
A music festival for children
Let's start in our village of Maran
August 24, 2013
Deng Xiaolan initiated
The country's first children's music festival
- "Maran Children's Music Festival"

"Children yearn for fairy tale life
There is a Children's Palace and Disneyland in the city
Princess Castle
Maran's kids can also have it."
On the railing of the "Musical Castle"
It's all staves
Even the wind chimes in the room
All are stave patterns
She also works for Maran's children
A new game field was made
Kids love climbing staves the most
Their little heads are pulsating
It's like a beating note

Maran's children
Walked into the bird's nest
When the Olympic five rings flag
In the children's natural chorus
When slowly rising to the highest point
Deng Xiaolan, who was sitting in the audience
In the melting mood
……
18 years of hard work
She just wanted to
Let the children sing happily
She had never thought about it
This rush across mountains and seas
Such a proud moment has been achieved!
March 16

I hope she is healthy and happy every day
This National Day
They went back to Maran to see her
……
Deng Xiaolan seriously
Listen to the children
Happily nodded vigorously
But this time
She was to her beloved children
Broken promise
Spring has come in the village of Maran
She left without a word
……
Today
We walked into the village of Maran
You can see it at a glance
Newly completed in the south of the village
Gray circular stage
Backed by green mountains and surrounded by clear water
From a distance, it looks like a bright moon
Hang in the sky
This was raised by Deng Xiaolan
Newly built for the children of Maran
"Moon Stage"
She had made an agreement with the children
On the "Moon Stage"
The fifth edition was held
"Maran Children's Music Festival"
"When the time comes, the dam will be repaired
The water in the mountains rose
You can see two and a half rounds of moons connected together
……”
After Deng Lao's death
Her sister Deng Xiaohong
In the circle of friends, it is written:
"My dear sister Deng Xiaolan
The last 18 years of his life
Invest most of your time and energy
In Malan Village, Fuping County, Hebei Province
Music education for children
This brings her joy and satisfaction
Children of the Maran Flower Choir
The Olympic anthem sung
Highly praised by the world
It pushes her happiness to the peak
She left in the highlight of her life
Walk peacefully and peacefully

March 22
The Group of the Beijing Winter Olympics
A child with a tiger's head
Stand in the rehearsal room and sing
"Maran Nursery Rhymes"
Farewell to Teacher Deng
Sing to the end
Children with sleeves
Wipe away the tears
They have a lot to say
I didn't have time to tell Grandma Deng
They put the unfinished words
All sung into this song
"I think Teacher Deng."
I want to give her a call
I was very well behaved."
"Teacher Deng thank you
Every one of us with children
Miss you so much
And our little Maran band
Sing together by the Rouge River
……”
Deng Xiaolan was gone
But she didn't break her word to the children
According to her wishes before she died
Her ashes will be placed in Maran
She will live in Maran forever
Stay in Maran
……
Elder Deng once said:
The nurturing grace of the people in the old district
I can't repay it for the rest of my life
But we want to say
The greatest immortality in the world
It's those strangers who don't know each other
I remember you after you die
Who's the jade flute flying darkly
Scattered into the spring breeze full of Los Angeles
Smell the willows in this nocturne
Who does not afford to be in the garden
Today
Let's also fold the willow together
In the midst of this heavenly song
Say to her:
Grandma Deng
If there really is
"Moon Goddess"
It must be what you look like
