Sunset on the Western Hills is a song sung by the chorus of the General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe, which is from Return from Shooting and Hunting and included in the album "Centennial Classic 4: Why Flowers Are So Red". Here are the lyrics of this song:
Sunset red clouds fly to the west mountain.
The soldiers fired at the target and then returned to the camp.
Red flowers on the chest reflect rosy clouds.
Happy songs are flying all over the sky
Misoo！ Misoo！
La Su Mi Li Du
Happy songs are flying all over the sky
Song flew to Beijing.
Chairman Mao was very happy to hear that.
Praise us for singing well
Praise us for being the first marksman.
Misoo！ Misoo！
La Su Mi Li Du
Praise us for being the first marksman.
One two three four
Sunset red clouds fly to the west mountain.
The soldiers fired at the target and then returned to the camp.
Red flowers on the chest reflect rosy clouds.
Happy songs are flying all over the sky
Misoo！ Misoo！
Lasso, rice is swishing.
Happy songs are flying all over the sky
Song flew to Beijing.
Chairman Mao was very happy to hear that.
Praise us for singing well
Praise us for being the first marksman.
Misoo！ Misoo！
La Su Mi Li Du
Praise us for being the first marksman.

Creation background
1In March, 959, Niu Baoyuan, a soldier with only primary school education, enlisted from Beizhen County, Liaoning Province, followed the troops to a place called Huanglongwei in Dalian for live-fire shooting training. One evening, he saw some soldiers wearing big red flowers coming back from the shooting range happily with guns and target cards. So, I began to write the poem "Jingle", "The sun is setting on the western hills, the soldiers shoot at the target and return to camp, the red flowers on their chests reflect rosy clouds, and the crisp" gunshots are flying all over the sky ". Later, this little poem was published in Selected Works of Military Literature Creation.
/kloc-at the beginning of 0/960, Wang Yongquan, an amateur composer in the army, saw this poem in Selected Works of Military Literature and Art, and thought it was full of the flavor of military life. So he added four lyrics (that is, the lyrics of the second paragraph of the song), changed the original "clear gunfire" into "happy singing" to make it a lyric, and then composed the song "Return from Hunting".
Song appreciation
The song "Return of bullets" shows the style of a new generation of soldiers trying to kill the enemy. This song is a single paragraph structure consisting of six phrases. The first four phrases are four-phrase structures, and there is an inherent echo relationship between musical materials. If the first phrase is a topic sentence, then the second phrase is the repetition of the topic sentence, the third phrase is comparison, and the fourth phrase is cohesion. The paragraphs composed of these four phrases have shaped the positive and optimistic mental state of the officers and men at the grass-roots level. The last two phrases are a supplement. The fifth phrase consists of two clauses, with the name of the score ("m i-so -la-m i-so, la-so -m i-d o -re") as the lyrics (interlinear words), which further strengthens the optimism of soldiers when they come back from shooting. As the ending sentence of the whole song, the sixth phrase is concise and powerful, which makes the song end in a higher range. This suffix is linked with the final slogan "one, two, three, four", which shows the style of "unity, tension, seriousness and liveliness" to the fullest.
