Huang Jing, 63, was overjoyed to learn that her "willows" had come true.

"At the beginning of this year, I happened to see the notice of the 7th world military games which was open to the whole country to collect songs and theme promotional songs," Huang Jing told me in the library of Chongqing institute of engineering Tuesday. At that time, I didn't hold any hope at all when I took part in the competition. I just wanted to have a try. All the other contestants were big producers, with exquisite pictures, professional recording equipment and exquisite samples.

 

She retired from the state-owned enterprise at the age of 55. In 2012, she applied for the position of school librarian, mainly responsible for library management (shelving, shelving and reshelving), book borrowing and other work. During the seven years, Huang Jing participated in the relocation of the new museum, the construction of the branch of the new campus and other major tasks. At work, she is strict with herself, strives for perfection, and is eager to provide services for students.

 

Her work is busy and orderly every day. She leaves home at 6 o 'clock on the morning shift and leaves at 10 o 'clock in the evening when the library closes.

 

Although the work is busy and full, but she has not forgotten her childhood dream.

Huang Jing has had a stage dream since she was a child. I have loved singing and dancing since childhood. Although she was born in an ordinary family, her parents did not have too many artistic cells, and there was no condition to send her to a professional college for training, she always seized every opportunity to improve her literary and artistic accomplishment. Neighbor big brother do not want the song, she took as a baby, every day to finish the homework holding after two or three hours; Her parents let her do some housework, she hummed a little song, danced waltz work, do no longer feel tired.

 

After growing up, Huang Jing entered the enterprise and majored in machinery manufacturing and equipment. However, this science student, because of her love for the stage and singing and dancing, has gradually become the backbone of literature and art in the unit. She is in charge of the chorus and art performance in the factory, and she is also the director and conductor.

 

In 2012, Huang Jing came to Chongqing institute of engineering to work as a librarian. Although her own work is not connected with music, because she loves campus life, she often uses her spare time to ponder over campus literary and artistic works, actively participates in and fully engages in various literary and artistic activities organized by the school staff, and CARES about the campus cultural construction of the school.

 

"Writing songs is just a hobby," Huang said hopefully. "it's not too late to start my dream. Any time you take action and stick to it, you will succeed!

 

Wrote six versions of the school song

 

"We meet in the south hot spring side, with the youth click colorful dream; We set sail from the riverside of Huaxi river, and write a glorious chapter of The Times with our fingertips...

 

"This song" feelings of camphor "is the school song. The lyrics were written by the principal, professor Tang Yike, and the song was composed by HuangJing. This song is Huang Jing's first work. Now has become a business card of the school, every major celebration of the school, enrollment, school, graduation, conference and other large-scale activities will be played as the background music repeatedly, every year the teachers and students chorus competition, will also be as each representative team must choose songs.

 

Why do school songs let librarians do the work? The character is bright and clear Huang Jing says: "this is the result that I take the initiative to apply for a job, thank a principal to use boldly."

 

Huang Jing loves listening to songs and singing school songs. Once on the school bus, Huang Jing boldly suggested to Tang Yike, the principal, the school to promote this, to run a school characteristics must have a good school song. She put her favorite Chinese agricultural university songs humming a couple of sentences, the President listened to the infatuation, let Huang Jing organize students to teach singing.

On the playground, Huang Jing took the microphone, confident and calm, singing melodious, she taught to sing a sentence, let the students sing a sentence, we learn very devoted, after class the students to ask teacher Huang, "teacher can you teach me the piano? Huang Jing smiled faintly and said, "I won't."

 

Gradually, Huang Jing became a part-time instructor of college students' cultural activities. School leaders also firmly believe in the idea of original school songs. After collecting opinions from teachers, students and experts, President Tang Yike made a comprehensive arrangement and processing of the lyrics and asked Huang Jing to compose the music. This trust, let Huang Jing feel cherish. She also made up her mind that she would write a school song with no regrets.

 

Huang Jing did not know much about music theory. She taught herself how to compose and beat music. Her biggest characteristic is that she likes listening and singing. She often blurts out some melodies, so she carries a small notebook with her. When inspiration comes, she takes notes.

 

In order to write the school song, Huang Jing bought the basic teaching material of composition, searched and listened to the school song of many famous schools, deliberated repeatedly, used half a year, wrote 6 versions successively.

"I thought about the score of the second line of the school song, 'click colorful dream with youth', for a month and changed it countless times before I found the feeling," Huang said.

 

The first time I composed music, I felt a little unsure of myself. I wrote 5 or 6 versions again and again before and after, and finally I got two music scores for the headmaster to choose. The principal clapped the board and left behind 43 "waltz" style versions.

 

When the school song came out, teachers and students did not find it amazing. A lot of people feel, "it's normal, it's normal!"

 

But everyone sang again and again, slowly taste more and more people feel, " Listen very patiently, the more you listen, the better !"

 

School teacher Xu Menglin said music and dance, "" camphor feelings" the entire work light rhythm, melody and beautiful, Chongqing in singing like see the engineering college students are at the edge of the south hot springs, in Huaxi river hard learning, school motto 'responsible and trustworthy refinement innovation firm and have the power to inspire the entire school teachers and students do not forget to caress his mind walking!"

 

Peng Lujiao, a student, said that the school held a chorus competition every year, the school song is a must to choose the song, now the whole school 15,000 teachers and students are singing, "our school song is fresh and graceful, never tired of listening."

 

"Every time I hear the music playing in the background of the school song, I listen carefully. I think it's good to hear, so far I'm very satisfied with my debut, no regrets at all. Huang said.

 

She won't stop there

 

Writing school songs has given 60-year-old Huang Jing confidence and made her life wonderful.

 

Later, Huang Jing fell in love with composing music. In her spare time, she traveled in the world of musical notes jumping, looking for moving melodies in her life.

 

With the convenience of working in the library, Huang Jing came close to observe the learning pictures of young college students to find creative inspiration. She started to write two songs for them, "book lovers" and "welcome to the library". After winning the love of students, she went on to write a series of campus songs, such as "song dedicated to the teacher", "the most glorious people's teachers", "camouflage without smoke", "ShuangQiao has a beautiful campus" and so on.

Composer Liu Xuhong listened to Huang Jing's song, the evaluation of her is: "your feeling is really good, better than professional composers!"

 

Huang Jing, 63, whose son has a family and a career, doesn't think it's time for her to retire.

 

"Under my influence, my wife will now make some simple comments and Suggestions on my works. Composition not only helps me find the value of life, but also fills my family with songs and laughter." "Huang Jing said with a smile.

Librarian she will continue to work, because she loves the work, love campus life; She would not stop writing songs because she wanted to be a hard worker who had the courage to dream, the courage to pursue dreams and the diligence to realize them.

 

These days, Huang Jingxin wrote a song "Chinese criminal police", to participate in the ministry of public security collection of criminal investigation songs. "My father and brother are both police officers, so I am in a family of police officers, so now I have a small target, to write a good song for the Interpol."

 

"I am very grateful for the appreciation of the headmaster. If the headmaster had not taken the courage to use me to write the school song, I would not have found that confidence and would not have been inspired to continue to write. I would not even have thought of winning an award," Huang said.

The songs she wrote were deeply loved by college students. Of course, she did not forget her original intention and insisted on pursuing her dream and a better life, which inspired them even more.
