Qiao Yu: Timeless Melodies

 

"Let's pull on our oars, with the little ship pushing away the waves, my dear pals, who have arranged such a happy life for us…" This song, named "Let's Pull On Our Oars," is familiar to almost everyone aged from 10 to 60. In fact, there are few songs that every one of such a wide age-span can sing. However, Qiao Yu has written many of the few songs.

When speaking of Qiao Yu, many overseas Chinese express their gratitude to him for relieving their homesickness with his songs about China - their motherland, and many famous singing stars in the Chinese mainland, such as Guo Lanying (known for singing Qiao's "My Motherland") and Mao Amin (famous for singing Qiao's "Unforgettable Tonight" and "Missing") tend to show their thanks for becoming famous by singing the songs he wrote. The 78-year-old Qiao Yu, who was elected chairman of the Chinese Association of Literature and Music seven times, is an outstanding lyrics writer in the music creation circles.

 A Brief Biography of Qiao Yu

Born in 1927 in Jining City of East China's Shandong Province, Qiao Yu graduated from the Northern University in 1946 as a Chinese major and has since engaged in music creation. He once served as president of the China Opera and Dance Drama Theatre and was a member of the 8th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

In the Chinese mainland, Qiao Yu is a household name, due to the numerous lyrics of universal popularity, from "My Motherland," the theme song for the film Shang Ganling in the 1950s to the recent "Sunset Glow." Qiao has recorded in his lyrics the significant transformation of every historic era and the Chinese people's wishes at different times as well as his love for the country and its people. Closely related to the pace of times and representing the voice of Chinese people, Qiao's songs tend to get popular among the general populace soon after being released. He is therefore honored as the "People's Artist."

 Life: The Best Inspiration

A humorous and optimistic man with rich body language, Qiao tends to leave a deep impression on people with his energy and vitality.
