Speaking of red sorghum, the song Jiuer can’t help but ring in my ears. The haunting melody of the song sounds so beautiful. But it also feels sad. This script belongs to the tragedy series, and Yi Jiuer successfully exaggerated his tragic theme. People can't help but shed tears of sadness when they hear it.
From the lyrics, we can understand that this song was sung in memory of Jiuer. When people die, adults will tell their children that they are still there, but they have just gone to a far away place. This is also to give Jiu'er's son some comfort! It means that his mother went to a very far away place and watched him grow up in another place. Although everyone knows that this is a lie to children, children are still young and will still believe it after hearing it.
The sky is filled with red sorghum as sung in the song, and the red here expresses the color of blood. It is also to commemorate Jiuer who was killed by the Japanese army. Jiu'er is a girl from Shandong. It is a custom in her hometown to guide deceased relatives on the way to heaven. Sorghum is a necessary means of transportation when sending relatives on their way. In order to eliminate the Japanese, Jiu'er led them into the sorghum fields and burned them all to death. Poor Jiu'er also died with the Japanese.
In the end, Jiuer used his own life to send his relatives to the road of happiness. At the same time, it is also for the sake of restoring peace to my hometown as soon as possible and for my family to be safe. Looking back at history, how many people like Jiuer in our country were unfortunately killed by the Japanese for the sake of their relatives in their hometown. We must not forget the shame of the past and develop our Greater China so that there will never be any invaders again.
