Chopin was born in Warsaw in 18 10. His father is a Frenchman, who has lived in Poland for many years and has deep feelings for Poland. He started a boarding school in Warsaw. He is a well-educated man. Chopin's mother is Polish and loves singing. She often sings some beautiful Polish folk songs to the children.

Chopin began to learn to play the piano when he was very young. At the age of eight, he gave his first public performance in Warsaw. By the time he was twelve, he had become a famous little pianist in Poland.

At that time, there was a famous music educator and composer in Poland. His name is connie. Elsne is far-sighted. He predicted that Chopin would go down in Polish cultural history as a great national artist in the future. He accepted Chopin as a student, taught him music theory and taught him to compose music. After graduating from high school, Chopin entered the Polish Conservatory of Music, with Elsne as the dean. Elsne still insisted on giving Chopin lessons in person. Elsne is not only a musician but also a patriot. At that time, Poland was under Russian rule. Tsarist Russia not only deprived the Polish people of their freedom, but also tried to ban Polish national culture. Elsne, together with some progressive Polish intellectuals at that time, stood up to defend Polish national culture. He practices, respects national cultural traditions and teaches students to do so. Teacher Elsne planted the seeds of loving the motherland and the motherland culture in Chopin's young mind.

Under the influence of Mr. Elsne, Chopin, a young man, had a strong interest in the culture and national music of the motherland and had deep feelings. Chopin went to school in Warsaw, but most of his holidays were spent at the homes of relatives and friends in the country. Listening to farmers singing and playing Polish folk music are Chopin's most fascinating things. One summer vacation, he celebrated the "Harvest Festival" with farmers, which left a deep impression on him:

On the night of the festival, groups of farmers sang songs and slowly came to the village square. Walking in front are two girls wearing garlands, followed by a woman holding a bunch of ears of grain. The villagers gathered together, the violin played cheerful dance music, and men, women and children danced. The rhythm of music is getting faster and faster, people are jumping more and more happily, singing heartily and spinning fast, colorful headscarves are fluttering and colorful skirts are flying. Chopin was deeply attracted by this wonderful, moving and energetic folk music. He took out his notebook and pen and buried himself in recording the melody of these music.

The bright moonlight shines on the earth, and the evening breeze slowly blows Chopin's excited and rosy cheeks. When the music started again, the handsome, elegant and shy city student held a girl's hand and danced as the first couple. The villagers whistled enthusiastically and shouted to entertain Chopin. After a round of dancing, Chopin took the violin from an old farmer and began to play. Bold, pure and cheerful Polish dance melody flows out of Chopin's slender hands like a clear spring. Chopin attended many concerts in Warsaw and often went to the aristocratic salons to perform, but never made him feel so cheerful, cordial, sincere and simple.

Being far away from the motherland and relatives, homesickness and deep worries about the future of Poland have been tormenting Chopin and seriously damaging his health. Lung disease is getting worse and worse after a long period of treatment. The slightest movement will make you sweaty and weak. 1February 848 16, Chopin gave his last concert in Paris. On that day, flowers were in full bloom in the concert hall, and tickets for the concert were sold out in advance a few days ago. Chopin was carried backstage by a sedan chair before the performance. Although he was too weak to support, his performance that night was still so excellent and wonderful, as full of life and poetry as he was in his prime, beautiful and moving. When he played the last note with all his might, the audience focused on him. Chopin removed his fingers from the keys, wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood up slowly from the piano. At this time, the silent concert hall suddenly burst into thunderous applause, hitting Chopin like the waves of the sea. With excessive efforts and excitement, Chopin only felt that the golden flowers were shining in front of him and everything was shaking. People quickly helped him down.

On the second day of the concert, Chopin's illness worsened: fever, asthma and extreme weakness. The doctor who saw Chopin thought that this did not bode well for a patient with severe lung disease. At this time, it was 1848 when the great revolutionary storm swept through Europe. The struggle of the people of Paris against tyrants and for democracy and freedom has been ignited. Chopin was lying in his hospital bed, watching the fire reflected on the window glass, listening to the distant guns and the slogan "Long live freedom" in the street. Not long after, the fire of revolution has spread all over Europe, and people are running around telling each other: the Berlin Revolution, the Vienna Revolution, and the people of Milan, Italy drove away the Austrian invaders. Mickiewicz is organizing the Polish Legion. An uprising broke out in Poznan, Poland-Chopin, who was ill, could not restrain his inner excitement after learning the news, and there was hope for the Polish motherland again. Some Polish compatriots are preparing to return to China to fight. Chopin was deeply moved. No matter how the doctor dissuaded him, he insisted on going to the station to see his compatriots off. When he came back from the station, his severe lung disease was further aggravated by his excitement and fatigue. His heart was beating violently, panting.

He was ill for a year, 1849 10, and Chopin, a 38-year-old "piano poet", died. In accordance with Chopin's wishes, his friends took out the silver cup brought from Poland eighteen years ago and scattered the motherland soil preserved in the cup on his coffin for eighteen years. He missed his motherland all his life, and when he died, he would leave smelling the fragrance of the motherland's soil. According to Chopin's will, his friends packed his heart in a box and shipped it back to Poland from Paris. A pure heart can rest in peace only when it returns to the embrace of the motherland.

Chopin's heart was placed in the Holy Cross Cathedral in Warsaw. During World War II, German fascists occupied Poland. On that day of white terror, the Polish people risked their lives to treasure the box containing Chopin's heart so that it would not be destroyed by the German invaders. 1949 10/7, the centenary of Chopin's death, Chopin's heart was solemnly welcomed back to the ancient church.

Although Chopin passed away, his heart will always beat among the people of the motherland, and his music has become a precious cultural heritage, leaving it to the people of the world.

[patriotic deeds]

( 1)

Chopin grew up under the influence of Polish folk music. He not only loves the culture of the Polish nation, but also deeply loves his motherland Poland. At that time, his motherland was being enslaved and humiliated by the czar, and Poland's land was divided between Russia, Austria and Poland. The Polish people's struggle against aggression is boiling like underground magma. Poland at that time was like an erupting volcano. Young Chopin was worried about his suffering motherland and was encouraged by the coming revolutionary storm.

One day, Chopin saw a poem entitled "Warrior" written by the progressive Polish poet Witwicky. This is an exciting poem. Chopin read it affectionately over and over again, and could not help but recite it softly:

Time's up,

The horse neighed,

Horseshoe busy.

Goodbye, mom, dad, sister,

I bid farewell to the long journey.

Fly in the wind

Pounce on the enemy

Fight bloody battles.

My horse is as fast as a whirlwind,

I am sure to win.

My horse,

Fight bravely,

If I die,

You turn around alone,

Run to your hometown.

……

At this point, Chopin was too excited to read any more. His comely white face flushed with excitement, and his deep and calm eyes flashed with the call to fight. He pushed open the window and looked at the sky, with dark clouds and heavy haze (mái). But he heard thunder in the silence, and Witvesky's poem "Warrior" was a cry to break the silence, expressing the revolutionary passion of the Polish people eager to join the fight to get rid of slavery.

There was a strong wind outside the window and dark clouds rolled. Chopin seemed to see the red flag flying, the horses galloping (chěn), and the notes turned into swords and stabbed the enemy's heart. He turned around, leaned over his desk, picked up the staff, and set the music for the poem "Warrior". The song "Warrior", composed by Chopin and written by Witwicky, spread like wings among Polish patriotic youth. This song inspired Polish youth to join the revolutionary torrent.

On the eve of the Polish revolution, Chopin's father decided to let Chopin, who was twenty years old, travel and perform abroad. At that time, such an atmosphere prevailed in Europe, and music travel seemed to be the only way for musicians to become famous.

1830 1 1 At the beginning of the month, Chopin's friends held a farewell banquet for his trip abroad. At the meeting, friends gave him the most precious gift: a silver cup filled with the soil of the motherland. Chopin left Warsaw for Vienna with this silver cup.

Less than a week after Chopin arrived in Vienna, the news of the Warsaw Uprising came. Warsaw insurgents drove the tsarist Russian rulers out of Poland and established their own government. Hearing the news, Chopin was pleasantly surprised. Although he had a premonition that the revolutionary storm was coming before he left the motherland, he didn't expect things to develop so quickly. He wanted to go back to the motherland to fight at once, but his friends wrote to dissuade him and advised him to serve the motherland with art abroad. After a fierce ideological struggle, he finally listened to his friends and stayed in Vienna for the time being. However, patriotic feelings made Chopin anxious. In his letter to the teacher Elsne, he wrote:

"From the day I got the news of 1 1 29th (that is, the Warsaw Uprising) until now, I didn't feel anything but worry ... As an artist, I am still in the cradle, and as a Polish, I have spent more than twenty years ..."

Chopin was running out of money and had to hold a concert to survive. When he sat in front of the piano in a tuxedo and a shirt with a bow, what he saw in front of him was the motherland in battle and friends holding out their chests. Chopin was in great pain. When he returned to his apartment, he struck the piano hard to make it make a thunderous sound, so as to vent his pain and deep worries about the future of the revolution.

Driven by this feeling, he wrote Overture in B minor. Chopin poured out his tender homesickness for the motherland and his passion for fighting through this piano piece. This piece of music occupies a unique position in Chopin's works.

193 1 In July, Chopin decided to leave Vienna and return to Poland. However, when he passed through Stuttgart, he suddenly got the sad news that the uprising failed and Warsaw fell. The sad news broke Chopin's heart like a heavy hammer. He walked back to the hotel alone, and his sadness and anger made him fidget. He paced up and down the room. The motherland is filled with smoke, Warsaw is in flames, and the insurgents are in a pool of blood ... These scenes haunt Chopin and make him fidgety. He closed his eyes in pain and his heart tightened.

It was dark, Chopin lit the candle on the table, spread out his diary and wrote:

"... will the Moscow devil become the ruler of the world? They trampled on graves full of thousands of bodies, and they set fire to the city! Ah! Why can't I kill a Moscow demon? ……"

He suddenly put down his pen, and Huo stood up quietly, beating the piano with all his strength and shouting, "No! Poland will not die! Never die! "

He concentrated this burning feeling in the notes and poured all his grief and indignation into the piano. Chopin's piano music "Etudes in C minor" was written in this state of mind. This piece of music is sad and passionate, with high and low tunes and a fierce roar, like a fierce horse fighting and rushing in the emotional waves. This piece is full of fortitude, fortitude and fearless heroism, so people usually call this piano piece "revolutionary etude". In this piece of music, Chopin closely linked his grief and indignation with the fate of the motherland, showing the indomitable will of the Polish nation after the failure of the Warsaw Uprising. This is Chopin's famous masterpiece, which has great influence. Because Chopin's music has strong patriotic feelings, reflecting the Polish people's strong desire for freedom and national liberation, Schumann, a famous German music critic, spoke highly of Chopin's music. He said, "Chopin's works are cannons hidden in flowers."

[Selected stories]

Once, a rich man held a grand banquet and invited many guests, especially Chopin. At the end of the banquet, the plump gentleman pointed to Chopin and pointed to the piano and asked Chopin to play a song as the fruit after dinner. Chopin suddenly realized that the rich invited him to dinner only for this purpose-for the entertainment of the rich. He felt greatly insulted and sarcastically said, "It turns out that my husband invited me to dinner at a price. However, I eat very little. " As he spoke, he took out a stack of money from his pocket and threw it on the table. "Here, this is my meal!" "Say that finish, Chopin strutted out.

The high-class life in Paris, full of luxury and money, soon bored Chopin. He seldom performs in public. He misses his motherland and the people he loves. Only when he meets his Polish compatriots in exile in Paris can he feel gratified and happy. Mitzi Kevic, an outstanding Polish revolutionary poet, is a frequent visitor to Chopin's apartment. Chopin lovingly described for us the scene when he met Mizkovich:

"I saw Mitzi Kevic again ... I know why he came. I immediately sat down to play the piano ... I played for a long time recently, but I didn't dare to look back, but I heard him crying. When he left, I helped him put on his coat myself to prevent the servant from seeing his tears. Mitzkiewicz gently hugged my head, kissed my forehead, and said the first sentence of the whole night: "Thank you, you took me ..." Before the words were finished, he choked again, so he held back and walked away. "

What a touching account, it is the deep nostalgia for the motherland that makes the Polish artists who are far away from the motherland and lost in a foreign country so affectionate and have forged a profound friendship.

Patriotism and trivia

Patriotism is a noble and sacred emotion, but it is not always manifested as brilliant and heroic actions. Sometimes those little things can better reflect this great spirit, but it is also more difficult for people to do it.

Patriotism is not blindly boasting about the achievements of ancestors, nor cursing the incompetence of Chinese people, nor is it a false oath, nor is it a man-made sigh; Patriotism means deep responsibility.

Patriotism means obeying the traffic rules every day, taking the initiative to buy tickets, not starting a "war" in dance halls and football fields, not evading taxes, and not making trouble for the police.

Patriotism means to cherish tap water as Moutai, treat grain as gold and pearls, don't snap up goods, don't climb flowers and trees, and take care of public telephone booths. It means that you shouldn't leave anything on the road except footprints.

Patriotism means dressing neatly, speaking elegantly and behaving correctly; It means respecting the old and loving the young, being modest and courteous, and being enthusiastic and helpful; It means that you should always smile and let others feel with you: Oh, It's a Wonderful Life!

Patriotism means less complaining and more sense of humor; Smoke less and buy more treasury bills; Do not play mahjong, read more health books and periodicals; There are fewer dance halls in restaurants, more savings offices and more platforms; This means harvesting more food and having fewer children.

Patriotism means knowing one more Chinese character every day, reciting one more ancient poem, appreciating one more China folk song and learning more about the rich and splendid culture of the motherland. I often read newspapers, watch the news broadcast every day, and always care about everything in the motherland.

Patriotism means that when someone asks you for help, you will never let him down, but let him feel that he has not found the wrong person.

Patriotism means that when the director doesn't occupy much housing, when the director doesn't buy more cars, when the mayor goes to school more, when the governor often goes to the countryside to see.

Patriotism means that you must always endure the pain of overcoming your weaknesses and turn yourself into a popular and respected China person.

If everyone does this, then China will have the greatest progress and civilization in the world.

Patriotism needs to do small things, but even small things, we should talk less and do more. I think I've said enough. Let's get started!

[Same story]

I can't forget my motherland.

1908, Soong Ching Ling 15 years old. This year, she was sent by her parents to study in the United States and entered Westrian Women's University in Macon, Georgia.

Soong Ching Ling is a quiet and thoughtful girl. She studies hard, especially when she wants to work for the poor in the motherland in the future.

On one occasion, the class had to discuss historical issues. She carefully collected information, thought carefully and made full preparations.

At the seminar, an American student stood up to speak. He said: "I think the development of history is hard to estimate. You see, those so-called ancient civilizations, such as China in Asia, have been eliminated by history. The people's hope is in Europe, in the United States, and with us ... "

At this time, Soong Ching Ling, sitting in the front row, shook her head disapprovingly. She frowned and listened patiently to her American classmates.

Soong Ching Ling stood up as soon as the classmate finished speaking. The classroom was immediately quiet. Soong Ching Ling seemed a little excited, but she still said in a soft voice: "History is changing, but it will always belong to hundreds of millions of people. China, with a history of 5,000 years of civilization, has not been wiped out, and it cannot be wiped out. Some people say that China is like a sleeping lion, but it will never sleep. One day, the roar of the East Asian sleeping lion will shake the whole world! Because it has vast land, hardworking people, long history, rich products and countless revolutionary volunteers, it is working hard for its revitalization! "

There was warm applause in the classroom. Everyone complimented each other: "Well said, convince people with reason." "How powerful these words are!"

Although Soong Ching Ling is abroad, she always pays attention to the domestic situation. She often says to her classmates, "I can't forget China. I am full of ideals and hopes for my motherland! " (This article has been accessed 324 times)
