The inspiring melody of patriotic songs showed the martyrs‘ revolutionary heroism
spirits to fight for the national independence and people‘s liberation, which also
represented young students‘ voices. Some songs, such as ―Let‘s Swing Our Oars‖,
―Under the Brilliant Sunshine‖ etc., displayed the firm belief to love China, the party,
and socialism. With the photos of the famous scientists on the screen, the song of
―Love of China‖ delivered the scientists‘ patriotism to audiences. The song of ―We
Are United‖ brought the performance to the summit. It showed the warm and
touching moments in the disasters that happened in China in recent years, including
the tears and smiles in face of SARS, the power and strength of Chinese soldiers
during the flood and the snow disaster, and the strong connection between civilians
and soldiers in the big earthquake of Sichuan Province. There were also many songs
about our country praising the great achievement gained by Chinese people since
the foundation of the new China, especially during the reform and opening-up period.
They also expressed the youths‘ best wishes and genuine love for our country.
Whenever a classic melody was played, one of the PKU alumni was always singing
along and following beats of the music with his hands. He told the reporter excitedly
that these songs were all the students‘ favorite ones thirty years ago. An
undergraduate said that he truly felt the spirit of May 4th with him when the music
was played, and he hoped the patriotic tradition could be passed on from generation
to generation.
The concert, which lasted two hours, was ended successfully in the song of
―Chanting for Our Homeland‖ sung by both performers and audience.
