冼星海诞辰106周年纪念：追忆大师生平

钢琴大师殷承宗版《保卫黄河》

In 1940 Xian went to the Soviet Union to compose the score of the documentary film Yan'an and the Eighth Route Army. In 1941 the German invasion of the Soviet Union disrupted his work and he attempted to return to China by way of Xinjiang but the local anti-communist warlord, Sheng Shicai, blocked the way and he got stranded in Alma Ata, Kazakhstan. It was here that he composed the symphonies Liberation of the Nation and Sacred War, and the suites Red All Over the River and Chinese Rhapsody for winds and strings. He developed pulmonary tuberculosis due to overwork and malnutrition. After the war, Xinghai went back to Moscow for medical treatment but could not be completely cured and died of pulmonary disease on October 30, 1945 in a hospital nearby the Moscow Kremlin at the age of 40.
1940年，冼星海前往苏联，为纪录片《延安与八路军》进行后期制作与配乐。1941年，德国入侵苏联，冼星海的工作被迫中断，他想经由新疆回国，然而当地军阀盛世才阻挠，未能成功，被迫羁留于哈萨克的阿拉木图。在那里他创作了《民族解放交响乐》、管弦乐组曲《满江红》以及管弦乐作品《中国狂想曲》。劳累和营养不良导致冼星海的肺炎开始恶化，战后他回到莫斯科接受治疗，1945年10月30日，终于病逝，享年40岁。

Xian Xinghai composed over 300 works, published 35 papers, including Nie Er—the Creator of New Chinese Music and On the National Styles of Chinese Music. His influence in Chinese music won him the title People's Composer.
