《中国少年先锋队队歌》的由来
1955年,寄明从北京调到上海电影制片厂,先后担任音乐创作室副主任、作曲组组长。期间,她为《李时珍》《平凡的事业》《凤凰之歌》《鲁班的故事》《金沙江畔》等多部电影创作了主题歌。1958年,厦门和金门之间发生了炮战,它让全国人民知道了厦门何厝小学13名小学生穿行炮火中支前的故事。
一年后,厦门第三中学语文老师王添成根据他们的故事,创作了话剧《英雄小八路》。这引发了上海影剧作家周郁辉的关注,他把话剧改编成同名电影剧本。上海天马电影制片厂决定拍摄此片,把谱写影片主题歌的任务交给了寄明。

那天,在复兴西路34号寓所里,寄明与同为作曲家的丈夫瞿维商讨起来。为让主题歌能真正反映影片所依据的事实和片中人物的思想感情变化,瞿维建议寄明到实地采风,以丰富素材。寄明采纳了瞿维的意见,专程到厦门,寻找到那些已经升入初中的“支前小英雄”们,听他们讲述当时冒着炮火上阵地,给解放军送饭、送开水的英勇故事。寄明不时被孩子们那种奋不顾身、勇往直前的精神所打动。她一边听,一边寻找最能体现影片主题的旋律。
采风快结束了,一个热情奔放、节奏和起伏度较大的曲调在寄明耳边萦绕,她连忙挥笔疾书,主题歌《我们是共产主义接班人》一气呵成。寄明带着曲子回到家中,马上哼唱给孩子们听。孩子们一边学唱,一边连说好听。
1961年,电影《英雄小八路》正式上映,主题歌以其鲜明、朝气蓬勃的音乐形象,受到孩子们的喜爱。1978年,共青团中央在征求群众和专家的意见后,将《我们是共产主义接班人》正式确定为《中国少年先锋队队歌》。1980年,歌曲荣获第二次全国少年儿童文艺创作一等奖。

After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, he served in succession as music composer of Northeast Film Studio and Central News Documentary Film Studio, composer of Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, vice chairman of Chinese Musicians Association, and chairman of Shanghai Musicians Association. His first major work is the opera with title of The White- haired Girl, completed in collaboration with others. His other representative works include a piano music Flower Drum, a symphonic poem Monument of the People’s Heroes, a song The Working Class Have Hard Bones, film music A Revolutionary Family, and dance drama music The White-haired Girl.
JI Ming (1917-1997), music composer, has her ancestral family from Huaian in Jiangsu province and she was formerly knownas WU Yazhen. In the early years, she graduated from Shanghai National Academy of Music. In 1939, she went to Yan’an. In 1942, she joined the CPC. Once she worked as teacher in both LU Xun Art Academy at Yan’an and Northeast LU Xun Art Academy as well as deputy head of Mudan River LU Xun Art Group. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, she engaged herself in the creation of film music.
In 1955, she was transferred to Shanghai Film Studio and composed music in succession for over 20 films such as LI Shizhen, Song of the Phoenix, Spring Reigns Everywhere, Along the Jinsha River and Swallow Coming Back. She is also the composer of the theme song We Are the Successors of Communism (later identified as China Youth Vanguard Team Song) of the film A Little Hero of the Eighth Route Army, as well as Washing Clothes for the PLA Uncles and Youth as the Spring of the Nation. All these songs are for children.
The Origin of the
“China Youth Vanguard Team Song”
In 1955, JI Ming was transferred from Beijing to Shanghai Film Studio and served in succession as deputy director of the music creation office and team leader of music composer. During this period, she created theme songs for many films, including LI Shizhen, Ordinary Cause, Song of the Phoenix, Story of Luban and Along the Jinsha River.
In 1958, artillery battles took place between Xiamen and Jinmen, which allowed people to know the story that 13 pupils from Hecuo Primary School in Xiamen ran through the fire to support the front.
A year later, WANG Tiancheng, a teacher of Chinese language in the Third High School of Xiamen, wrote the drama A Little Hero of the Eighth Route Army according to their stories. This attracted the attention of the ZHOU Yuhui, a drama writer, in Shanghai. He adapted the drama into the script of a film with the same title. Shanghai Tianma Film Studio decided to produce this film out of it and gave the task of composing the theme song to JI Ming.
One day, she and her husband, another music composer talked together about the theme song at home at No. 34 on the West Fuxing Road. In order to create one which can truly reflect the facts on which the film was based on and the ideological and emotional changes of the characters, the music composer suggested she should go to collect materials on the spot to enrich materials. She adopted the suggestion and made a special trip to Xiamen so that she found those “little heroes supporting the front”who had been studying in junior high schools, listening to their heroic stories at that time when they braved gunfire to go to the battlefields and send food and boiled water to the PLA. She was moved from time to time by the children for their selflessness and the courage to march forward. While listening, she was looking for the melody which best embodies the theme of the film.
Towards the end of material collection, a passionate, rhythmic and highly undulating tune lingered in her ears, so she picked up pen to write quickly and the theme song We Are the Successors of Communism was accomplished in a breath. Bring the music back home, she immediately hummed it to her children. While they were learning to sing, they also commented that it was nice.
In 1961, the film A Little Hero of the Eighth Route Army was officially released. The theme song, with its distinctive and vibrant music image, was favored by children. In 1978, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League officially identified this song as China Youth Pioneer Team Song after seeking the views of the masses and experts. In 1980, this song won the second national award of children’s literature and art creation award.
