all one's life
■ I have only a short life of 23 years old, but I have been a student, soldier, shop assistant and actor.

Nie Er, formerly known as Nie Shouxin, was born in Shonago Yi, 19 12 in Kunming, Yunnan, and his ancestral home was Yuxi County. My father is a doctor in China. After he lost his father at the age of 4, his mother struggled to run a drugstore, sewing for others and supporting the whole family.
Nie Er's childhood was influenced by Yunnan's rich and beautiful folk music and opera. His mother, who loves to sing folk songs, was his earliest music teacher. /kloc-at the age of 0/0, he learned to play the flute from his neighbors, then learned to play the erhu, sanxian and Qin Yue, and joined the student music group as a conductor. 1927 was admitted to the first normal school of the province. At school, influenced by the May 30th Movement and the Great Revolution, he read some magazines introducing Marxism.
1in the autumn of 928, when the revolution was at a low ebb, he joined the Youth League and took part in the secret printing and distribution of leaflets. /kloc-0 In the spring of 930, the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee was severely damaged. Nie Er learned that a traitor confessed to joining the Youth League and immediately went to Shanghai.
Nie Er, who just entered Shanghai, was forced by life to work as a clerk in a cigarette shop. The following year, the cigarette shop closed down, and he wandered the streets for a period of time. Then he was admitted to Yue Ming Opera Society, and began his professional artistic career at the age of 19. At that time, because of his keen ears, others called him "Mr. Ear", so he simply changed his name to Nie Er.
After Nie Er entered the traditional Chinese opera club, he met the September 18th Incident of 193 1 and the December 28th Incident at the beginning of the following year. He took an active part in the national salvation movement and met the writer Tian Han. /kloc-in the summer of 0/932, he went to Beiping to take an examination of the Art Institute, but he was not admitted and could not find a job and returned to Shanghai. At the beginning of 1933, Nie Er secretly joined the producer of * * * through the introduction of Tian Han. Since then, Nie Er has composed music in film companies and record companies and often performed on stage. Many of his songs have been sung all over China, and they are also famous overseas.
1935 in early April, the party organization learned that Nie Er was in danger of being arrested by the Kuomintang. Considering that he wanted to study abroad, he was informed to go to Japan first, and then to the Soviet Union from there. After Nie Er went to the East in mid-April, he was warmly welcomed by China students. Some progressive Japanese cultural figures such as Akita Shirin and Hamada Hiroshi also invited him to visit the troupe and exchange ideas. Nie Er is an agitator in the anti-Japanese struggle, but he has a strong interest in Japanese culture. He studied Japanese before, so he plans to stay for one year. During this period, he finally completed the March of the Volunteers, sent his music back to China, and sang it at the gathering of foreign students. In July of the same year, Nie Er went to Changnuma Beach in Fujisawa City in the summer vacation, stayed at a Japanese friend's house and practiced the piano while swimming every day. /kloc-in July of 0/7, he was unfortunately drowned in the sea.

Nie Er's body was cremated and sent back to China by friends before his death. Buried in his hometown of Xishan, Kunming, a mausoleum was built after liberation. Japanese friendship groups also set up a monument at the seaside of Fujisawa City where he was killed. The month of his death, the film "The Son of the Storm" was released, which played March of the Volunteers and later became the strongest voice sung by China people. background
■ He is a talented musician and a revolutionary. It is because of the latter that the former can be brilliant.
"The text carries the Tao, the poem expresses the ambition, and the joy is the heart." Nie Er himself, and even his immortal works, were created in that particular era when the nation was in peril. Those powerful notes were also the voices of people in the environment at that time.
The storm of Japan's invasion of China and the domestic anti-Japanese mass movement aroused his surging emotions, and music and revolution were combined from then on. 1932, ten days after the "December 28th Incident" broke out in Shanghai, that is, on February 7th, Nie Er put forward "How to make revolutionary music" for the first time in his diary. At that time, it was in the environment where guns were rumbling outside and refugees were running around crying. Nie Er is a talented musician and a revolutionary. It is precisely because of the latter that the former can be brilliant. A series of his works, especially March of the Volunteers, are the products of the people's revolution led by the Communist Party of China.
When March of the Volunteers first sounded on the screen, it happened that Nie Er died, but this song, as the horn of the national revolution, resounded through the land of China and enjoyed a world-renowned reputation. In the anti-fascist war, this song was often played by radio stations in Britain, the United States, India and many other countries. On the eve of the end of the war, the State Council also approved its inclusion in Song of Victory and Triumph of Allied Forces.
When collecting the national anthem on the eve of the founding of New China, Zhou Enlai proposed to use this song, which was unanimously adopted at the New Deal meeting. In founding ceremony in 1949 and the National Day every year thereafter, Nie Er's music was played with great momentum, which was enough to comfort the spirits who died in a foreign country.
story
■ My music career is only two years, but I have created many songs that have influenced me for decades.
■ When I was in Beiping, I was too poor to buy cotton-padded clothes, but at the end of autumn, I used limited money to go deep into Tianqiao and other places to collect information on northern folk music and listen to the roar of selling my voice and martial arts; He worked hard in Shanghai for a year and bought a cheap violin he dreamed of.
Although Nie Er's career in music creation lasted only two years from 1933 to 1935, he has composed Song of the Road, Song of the Dockers, Pioneers, New Women, Graduation Song, Selling Newspaper Songs, Singing Girl under the Iron Hood and so on for decades. Apart from his personal genius, the most important thing about these brilliant achievements is that he went deep into the bottom of social life. He concluded in his diary of1June 3, 933: "Music, like other arts, poems, novels and dramas, is replacing public outcry, and the public will inevitably demand new contents and expressions of music and a new attitude of composers."
Nie Er, who was born in poverty, has deep feelings for the working people and looks down on those who indulge in the "ivory tower" and serve a few people. When he was in Peiping, he was too poor to buy cotton-padded clothes, but in late autumn, he used limited money to go deep into slums, overpasses and other places to collect information on northern folk music, and listened to the roar of selling his voice and martial arts in an environment full of proletarian sweat of workers, drivers and hooligans, from which he learned their heart melody of "life struggle". In Shanghai, he often experienced the hardships of women workers getting along day and night, thus creating "new women". Nie Er also made friends with the little newsboy and asked questions every day. It was in this environment that Nie Er recited the famous Song of the Newspaper.
Nie er has no decent creative conditions. After staying in Shanghai for a year, he worked hard to accumulate before he bought the cheap violin he had dreamed of for many years. The studio where he lives is hot in Leng Xia in winter, and it costs only 6 yuan to perform in Beijing for four days. This not only made him hate the cruelty of capitalist bosses' exploitation from the bottom of his heart, but also constantly shouted the people's desire for liberation in his works.
