Post-listening
Nie Er, originally named Nie Shouxin, was born in Kunming, Yunnan province, in 1912. He had a good ear for music, and he could sing a song after hearing it just once or twice. Besides, he could move his ears. Over time, people started calling him “Erduo”. He liked this nickname, so he changed his name to Nie Er.
Nie Er is famous for composing the music for China’s national anthem The March of Volunteers. The 1930s were a difficult time; there was great suffering and people were worried about their future. The March of Volunteers encouraged Chinese people to “march” together to save the nation.
Nie Er died when he was only 23. He wrote more than 30 songs during his short life. Many of these songs were about the suffering of ordinary people and the challenges they faced. It is not surprising that people think of him as a national hero and call him “the People’s Musician”.
