Chinese Pianist Plays Propaganda Tune at White House

[gubbi]

Where are you getting all of your crazy theories from? Seriously? Going by your logic the next time the Russian President plays the 1812 Overture when the Sarkozy visits it is supposed to be "a superiority complex issue".

How come the Americans and Indians always criticize the Chinese for being too politically sensitive? We can see films like the Red Dawn Remake and The Day the War Began but when a Chinese American plays a patriotic war song it is supposed to be some sort of "superiority complex"? How do you know, for a fact, that Lang Lang picked the song because he wished to cause trouble and not because of aesthetic value? In the end it is just a song, and a damn beautiful one too.

Here is a link to the performance:

YouTube - Lang Lang performs with Herbie Hancock at the White House State Dinner 1.19.11

You are right. The piece is indeed beautiful. However, the comments all over the interwebz about a coup of some sorts is what is childish, not to mention the fact (as reported) that this song was/is used by the CCP as anti-American propaganda. Is that true?

When did internet commentary become a reliable source for information? Go read the comments after yahoo news and youtube.

So let me get it straight, its okay to antagonize the host when you are in a diplomatic visit to forward peace? Wow..I gotta hand it to you for your idiot-ism. And you somehow were able bring Muslims into this issue. How is that even relevant? Oh I think his was okay post but yours is just truly pathetic.

When the song is chosen and played by an American citizen, how does that equate to the visiting Chinese delegation antagonising their hosts?

Thats why I said that was childish. I asked whether this song was used as anti-American propaganda by CCP? True?

Why do Indians get so flamed about some song Lang Lang picked to play at a dinner party where no Indians were even invited.

And for those who have no idea about the meaning of that song's lyrics, how the hell could you offer your opinion and get all righteous over something you don't even know.

US humiliated in eyes of Chinese by song used to inspire anti-Americanism






The Nerve!!

And so childish. And yet they all wonder why the rest of the world is so wary about Chinese growth?

The Nerve!!

...

If you interpret so, nerve, Indeed!

How one would wish that, one day, the Indians would have the nerve to play anti-colonist song at the very face of British Royal family!

With the patriotic song, British torture, loot, pillage of India/the Indians would be revealed; the anger and fighting spirit of the Indians would be shown; and finally the quiver and tremble of the colonists would be heard.

You will not have the nerve, nor the spine.

indians just blind to facts and love empty troll

only give us jokes


the lyrics

我的祖国

一条大河波浪宽
风吹稻花香两岸
我家就在岸上住
听惯了艄公的号子
看惯了船上的白帆

姑娘好像花儿一样
小伙儿心胸多宽广
为了开辟新天地
唤醒了沉睡的高山
让那河流改变了模样

这是美丽的祖国
是我生长的地方
在这片辽阔的土地上
到处都有明媚的风光

好山好水好地方
条条大路都宽畅
朋友来了有好酒
若是那豺狼来了
迎接它的有猎枪

这是英雄的祖国
是我生长的地方
在这片古老的土地上
到处都有青春的力量

好山好水好地方
条条大路都宽畅
朋友来了有好酒
若是那豺狼来了
迎接它的有猎枪

这是强大的祖国
是我生长的地方
在这片温暖的土地上
到处都有灿烂的阳光





wonder why those jerks never print the lyrics out

morons just make fun of themselves

 

[siegecrossbow]

朋友来了有好酒
若是那豺狼来了
迎接它的有猎枪

If those idiots want to be "wolves" and not friends, China has every right to ward them off with hunting guns.

FYI, British crown ruled India, and then Indians kicked out British. So songs which celebrate freedom struggle are justified, dont you "think" so?

This particular song, used by CCP as anti-america propaganda was from a movie about Korean war. Did China kick US of A out of Chinese soil?

 

[gpit]

This original is for our beloved gubbi buddy. Hope it'll help raise your nerve:

BTW, gubbi, GOI has no propaganda? US government doesn;t have propaganda?

Face it with your own brain. Don't just copy/paste the propaganda, be it west or east.

The song's lyrics in English can be seen here in a separate post especially for gubbi the buddy.

Guess the non-aligned Indians don't understand the concept of having allies.

Yes, it was called Korean war, yet it was fought mainly between US of A and China, must be baffling for you......
