The autumn wind crosses the river and the wild land enters the sky. So that you can follow people, and the moon is beside the clouds. My hometown is silent, and my wife and children have no faith. Yu Man looked up frequently, and this song was played in Border Town.

Twilight, Ran Ran with the autumn wind blowing across the river. At dawn, the vast Yuan Ye gradually melted into the world. With a team from the southern red land, the Mid-Autumn Festival came quietly.

A bright moon, next to the sunset glow, is very conspicuous. The news from home has been completely cut off, and no letters from his wife and children have been received. Looking up at the sky frequently under the bright moon, it is the time when the border town plays the triumph.

Extended data

At the beginning of 1947, the China People's Liberation Army was in a passive state, and the enemy was strong and we were weak. However, for more than half a year, the national war situation reversed, and the lens of the PLA in major battlefields turned to the strategic counterattack stage. In September of the same year, the central leading organs left Zhangjiaya Kiln in Jiaxian County, northern Shaanxi Province, and moved to Shenquanbao in Jiaxian County.

On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, Mao Zedong strolled by the Yellow River near Shenquanbao, recalling the great changes in the war situation over the past year or so, remembering the victory in the first battle of the Qinghua Border, which was withdrawn from Yan 'an, remembering the victories of the People's Liberation Army in succession in the battles of Yangmahe, Panlong and Shajiadian, and thinking that the army had completely mastered the initiative in the northwest battlefield, he couldn't help thinking a lot. And turned the joy after the triumph into the yearning for his foreign wife and children, so he made this song.
