introduce oneself to

My name is Qiuli. When I was young, I loved music. When I was 12 or 13 years old, I liked accordion best. When I was 17 years old, I met a teacher, a German, and I went to learn vocal music with him. I took part in the revolution in Northeast China. I took the Northeast song and dance troupe to perform in Germany and Europe in 54. When I came back, I reported to Beijing. Beijing said that this troupe was not bad, so we were detained because I was a conductor. I used to work in the central song and dance troupe. Later, I separated and called it the central orchestra. I have been working for more than 40 years. I'm not alone in this art of chorus. It's inseparable from the masses. One of my favorite things is to mobilize the masses. Not only in Beijing, but in Northeast China, I organize all kinds of chorus. after Qiuli arrived in Beijing, I also mobilized the masses, and I have ways: first, I am the propaganda leader, then I mobilized the masses, and then I conducted several pilot projects for them. I gradually feel that everyone's artistic accomplishment has been improved, and everyone thinks and works hard together. Later, I organized a command class to cultivate small commanders. In fact, there is no difficulty in conducting. I just need to learn how to deal with works, express works and analyze works. I have learned all 12 means of it, such as hard and soft jumping, ups and downs. After learning, I will learn it slowly I use it in practice and gradually improve it in application, so I have set up more than 100 amateur troupes in my life. I am a central Orchestra in professional troupe. In society, the "old artists chorus" of the Ministry of culture is initiated by me. These old artists are all from Yan'an, and they are full of energy. There is also the "Teachers Chorus". Teachers from all districts of Beijing come here after examinations Yes, the level is relatively high. I set up a chorus called "voice of spring". It rehearses once a week. It has a high ability of recognizing music scores. Basically, it takes it up and sings. After singing the chorus, they feel that their realm is high and they feel that they have gained a lot. I think singing in the overall harmony is a sense of happiness, they can speak of a professional level. After so many years, the biggest gain is that the quality of this team has been improved. I've run more than 100 amateur choirs in my life. They all feel that after singing, they have a higher spiritual level. So, needless to say, they will arrive on time on the day of rehearsal. This is the cohesion of music. Especially after the four choral festivals, they will watch each other, improve each other, learn from each other's strong points, and flourish. You can't let them. Sometimes, I conduct a set of concerts one night, and after more than two hours, I feel very happy. I have been engaged in chorus art all my life in the hope that the level of our country can be improved.

Memories in autumn

Qiuli, who grew up in Harbin, began his command career in 1945. From the army to the local, from the local to the central, he has accumulated valuable practical experience over the years. Qiuli, with many music organization titles, is still active in the art stage. The old man is the conductor of two groups, the chorus of 60 old artists from the Ministry of culture and the "voice of spring" chorus of middle-aged people. As a national first-class commander, Qiuli hopes that China's command team can flourish. Qiuli said that his initial command was tense. "Every detail of intonation, rhythm and movement is very particular. When a conductor comes from abroad, he has to learn from others. "Qiuli, who has not had a deep foundation in music since childhood, spent more time studying at work and working in study." he has been learning from others for so many years, learning from others' advantages, and gradually maturing. ". When the processing works, analysis works and performance works all reached the peak, Qiuli said that he was old. military born Qiuli has a deep memory of the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea that began in 1950. He said that he had been to North Korea three times, and it was his first time to go to North Korea when the Chinese people's volunteers crossed the river. "As visitors, we crossed the river by car, but many volunteers crossed the river by water. At that time, the weather was very cold. The soldiers waded across the river without frozen solid ice. Some of their legs were frozen with cotton padded trousers and cotton padded clothes, and their legs were gone. "Recalling the past, the old man was lost in thought, and he said," we were all moved to tears at that time. ". the only hope of Qiuli, 74, is that the country can cultivate a commanding team. "Because training a commander is training a team. If a team does not have a good command, it will never be improved. ". one of my jobs in autumn when I was away from home was writing books. He said: "my main purpose in writing books is to teach future generations to avoid detours. I hope that the generations will be better than each other, and that the future generations will be better than us. "

Passionate life

Living in a simple home makes many friends

When the reporter came to Qiuli's residence in Hepingli North Street, he was a little surprised. Such a famous artist still lives in the old house decades ago. The walls are too yellow to see the original color. The old bookcase is full of all kinds of books. Many yellow books are piled in the corner of the house. There is only a small cup in the corner of the bookcase. If it wasn't for Beethoven's bust, you wouldn't be able to connect this place with a musician. since the news of Qiuli's death was published on the Internet, Qiuli's home phone has been very busy. Wang Luyan, Qiuli's son, said: "since 6 o'clock this morning, the phone calls at home have been on the rise. All the messages on the mobile phone are from my father's friends and students. Many people blame me for not informing them in the first place. My father has made so many amiable and enthusiastic friends in his life that I can't tell him. "

He never refuses what he can do

In the eyes of his son and his aunt, Qiuli is a very good person who is selfless and devoted. "There are a lot of people I don't know who come to my home to worship these two days. They told me that as long as my father could do anything, he would never refuse. Even if it is to help others find a phone number, they will check for a long time. " Wang Luyan said. Feng Zhiyu, from the school of foreign languages, Capital Normal University, saw the news of Qiuli's death on the Internet and rushed to his home as soon as possible. After entering the door, I went straight to the portrait of my husband and kowtowed three times. When I got up, my face was full of tears. "At that time, I had a work in my hand and wanted to find a professional musician to guide me," he said. Under the introduction of a friend, I contacted teacher Qiuli. In my mind, music celebrities are particularly difficult to contact. But teacher Qiuli asked me to come to his house as a guest. Let me sit on the sofa in the door, but I move a small bench to sit opposite. I was particularly moved at that time. "

Go to the front and perform

Qiuli joined the Haxi cultural and industrial Corps in 1945, and later became the cultural and industrial brigade of the seventh division. Wang Luyan, his son, said that his father had been to the front line of the Korean war twice. "According to my father's friends, it was very dangerous to go to the front at that time. Once, my father's jeep was hit by the enemy plane, 5 people on the jeep, 3 people died, and the driver's leg was injured, only my father died. After that, he insisted on going to the front line to perform. "

Chang'an Street and student car racing

Qiuli lives in Hepingli North Street, but he usually goes out by bike. "My father used to be in good health," Wang recalled. When he was more than 70 years old, he served as a chorus director in the workers' Cultural Palace and often gave lessons to others. No matter spring and autumn, winter and summer, they all come and go on the 28 permanent bicycle he bought 30 years ago. His students told me that sometimes after class, he would compete with young students on Chang'an Street to see who could ride faster. "
