Creative background

On March 10, 1943, Chiang Kai Shek published the book "the fate of China", which put forward the slogan "without the Kuomintang, there would be no China". In response to this situation, the CPC Central Committee published "comment on the fate of China", and Yan'an Liberation Daily timely published an editorial "no China without the Communist Party". The Anti Japanese Federation of Shanxi Chahar Hebei border region appointed the mass drama club to form a number of small teams to publicize the party's Anti Japanese ideas, and the famous musician Cao Mars was one of them.

On August 25 of the same year, the Communist Party of China published an editorial entitled "without the Communist Party, there would be no China" in Jiefang Daily, criticizing the book and saying at the end: "If today's China, without the Communist Party of China, there would be no China.". Cao Martian, then a 19-year-old member of the Communist Party of China, wrote the song "without the Communist Party, there would be no China". After Mao Zedong proposed adding the word "new", believing that "without the Communist Party of China, China still exists.".

No Communist Party, no new China was born in Tangshang village, Xiayunling Township, Fangshan District, Beijing. Today, there is a memorial hall for "No Communist Party, no new China". In September 1943, Cao Martian, 19 years old, as a member of the mass drama club, formed a small team with three other people. Starting from the headquarters of Shanxi Chahar Hebei border district, he crossed mountains and rivers to Tangshang village of Xiayunling in pingxifang (mountain), Laishui (water) and Zhuozhou (county) new district.

Cao Mars is from Pingshan County, Hebei Province. After joining the army in 1938, he studied composition and directing in the Music Department of the school of literature and art of North China United University, and worked in the mass drama society of Shanxi Chahar Hebei border area for a long time.

At that time, Tangshang village of fanglaizhuo United County, Pingxi Anti Japanese base area, had carried out the work of democratic construction and rent and interest reduction. Cao Martian, 19, was infected by the hot Anti Japanese life here. In the lyrics, "the implementation of democracy benefits more" and "the improvement of people's life" are just the portrayal of life at that time.

One of the details that has been talked about by the people of Tangshang village so far is that in the morning when Cao Mars sang, he pushed the door of the house, called the eight children's League members who were playing in the open space of the school, and taught them what he had accomplished overnight.

Li Wandai, 83, was 14 years old at that time. 68 years later, he still remembers, "we were playing. The door opened, and Cao Mars called us inside, saying that he wanted to teach us to sing. I haven't studied for long. He sings. Let's hum along. Let's just do it once or twice.

That morning was the first time that the song of "no (New) China without the Communist Party" was sung in China.

There are various opinions about how the earliest song title "no China without the Communist Party" was finally determined as "no new China without the Communist Party". In Mao Zedong and his secretary Tian Jiaying, the director of the literature research office of the CPC Central Committee recalled that it was Mao Zedong who proposed and added the word "new". In 1950, when Mao Zedong heard his daughter li ne sing this song, he immediately corrected it and said, "without the Communist Party, China has existed for a long time. It should be changed to" without the Communist Party, there will be no new China. " At the beginning of June 2001, li ne affirmed this view.

"Without the Communist Party, there would be no new China" is in tune with the rhythm of the overlord whip, and its vocabulary is straightforward. When Cao Mars wrote this song in 1943, there was a sentence in the lyrics that "he persisted in the war of resistance for more than six years". When everyone sang this song in 1944, the masses automatically changed it to "he persisted in the war of resistance for more than seven years", and finally solidified in the victory of the war of resistance - "he persisted in the war of resistance for more than eight years". The war of liberation and post liberation are not mentioned.

The spread of "no (New) China without the Communist Party" has always been accompanied by the marching pace of the people's army and the marching horn of national liberation. The Communist Party of China led the Chinese people to win the war of resistance against Japanese aggression and the war of liberation. From then on, China, which was poor and weak, became prosperous and strong.

Get honor

In June 2019, 100 excellent songs were selected to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the people's Republic of China.

About the author

Cao Mars (1924-1999), born in Pingshan County, Hebei Province, is a member of the Communist Party of China. He once served as president of Tianjin song and dance theater, director of Tianjin Municipal Bureau of culture, vice chairman of Tianjin Federation of literary and art circles, chairman of Tianjin Musicians Association, etc.

In February 1938, Cao Mars took part in the Anti Japanese national salvation meeting of farmers in Pingshan County and embarked on the revolutionary road. In the same year, he was transferred to the propaganda team of the Anti Japanese and national salvation Youth Federation of Pingshan County (i.e. the iron blood drama club) as an actor and the leader of the music team. In 1939, he wrote his first song "on the battlefield" while studying in the school of literature and art of North China United University. Later, he wrote a series of songs which are popular among the people, such as "choose the village head" and "turn over from poverty for thousands of years".

1943 is of special significance in the life of Cao Mars. In this year, Tiexue Opera Society was led by the Anti Japanese Federation of Shanxi Chahar Hebei border region and renamed as the mass Opera Society; in April, he joined the Communist Party of China with honor; in October, he and his comrades went deep into the Pingxi base area to carry out Anti Japanese propaganda. At this time, at the age of 19, he witnessed that at the critical moment of the life and death of the Chinese nation, the Communist Party of China, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army led by him stepped forward to save the suffering China for the happiness of the people and the liberation of the nation. A bright theme rose in his mind. As a result, he turned his love for the party and his personal experience of historical practice into infinite strength, composing the strongest voice reflecting the aspirations of the people and the truth of the times. He borrowed the popular folk song "Bawangbian" and created his masterpiece "no new China without the Communist Party" in Tangshang village, Xiayunling Township, Fangshan District. The song was originally called "no China without the Communist Party". After reading it, Mao Zedong suggested adding the word "new", believing that "without the Communist Party of China, China still exists." And that's the name. This is not only a great contribution to the cause of Chinese revolutionary music, but also an inestimable influence on the firm belief of the people to follow the party.

After the founding of new China, Cao Mars actively participated in the creation of new art groups. From 1952 to 1966, he was head of the song and dance troupe of Tianjin People's Art Theatre, vice president and President of Tianjin People's song and dance theatre. He created a series of songs reflecting the arduous struggle of hundreds of millions of people and their devotion to the cause of socialist construction, such as the song of exploration workers, our motherland is full of spring, welcome the call of the motherland, and many song and dance dramas that had a great influence in the literary and art circles, such as "cutting firewood in Shiyi", "red flag of Taihang" and "Spanish daughter", and became the founder of Tianjin's dance career.

During the cultural revolution, Cao Mars was persecuted. After the Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee, he successively served as deputy director and director of Tianjin Municipal Bureau of culture, vice chairman of Tianjin Municipal Federation of literary and art circles, chairman of Tianjin Municipal Musicians Association, and executive director of China Musicians Association
