6月下旬,我在淮南参加了由中国音乐家协会、安徽省音乐家协会和淮南市人民政府共同主办的“全国音乐评论座谈会”,与会者有来自北京、上海及全国各地的教授、学者、专家60余人。会上代表们除宣读了论文的主要观点外,并对我国当前音乐界的几个热点问题进行了友好、坦诚的学术交流与探讨。当有的代表谈到新时期我国缺少农民歌曲时,与会者产生了共鸣。特别是当省文化厅厅长、省音协主席陈发仁具体谈到他在六十年代作为一名大学生去农村锻炼的地方。至今农民还在唱《社员都是向阳花》时。他心情十分激动。他呼吁作曲家、词作家为农民写歌,呼吁评论家为农村歌曲多做一些舆论导向与评介工作。他说,我们不能失去广大农村这块音乐文化阵地。发仁同志的一席话,引起了我的思索。更引起了我的一些联想: In late June, I participated in the “National Music Review Symposium” co-hosted by the Chinese Musicians Association, Anhui Musicians Association and Huainan Municipal People’s Government in Huainan. The participants were professors and scholars from Beijing, Shanghai and other places in China More than 60 experts.

When some representatives talked about the absence of peasant songs in our country in the new era, the participants resonated. In particular, Chen Fa-ren, director of the Provincial Department of Culture and chairman of the provincial audio-arts association, spoke specifically about where he went to work in the countryside as a college student in the 1960s. So far farmers are still singing “members are sunny flower”. He was very excited. He called on composers and word writers to write songs for peasants and called on critics to do more public opinion orientation and appraisal for rural songs. He said: We can not afford to lose this piece of music and culture in rural areas. Fatan comrade’s speech, aroused my thoughts. More aroused some of my association:
