Video: 100 fisarmoniche eseguono "Singing the Motherland", Shenyang - Cinaby Harley Jones |
2015 Golden Bell
 "Singing the Motherland" è un'opera musicale classica composta nel 1950 dal famoso compositore Wang Xin.Nel momento festoso in cui il popolo cinese celebrava il 72° anniversario della fondazione della Nuova Cina, il Conservatorio di musica di Shenyang, provincia di Liaoning, guidato dal vicedirettore del dipartimento di pianoforte Cao Ye, ha organizzato insegnanti e studenti per eseguire "Canto del Patria" con cento fisarmoniche. Il video inizia con un assolo di fisarmonica introduttivo di Cao Ye che conduce alla popolare melodia luminosa, maestosa, che rappresenta i cuori della gente e cattura vividamente la voce forte ed entusiasta della gente e la magnifica nascita della Nuova Cina. Quando questa bellissima melodia suona e la luminosa bandiera rossa a cinque stelle sventola nel vento, il cuore di tutti è sollevato. Il popolo Shenyin nella nuova era ha presentato i suoi doni alla madrepatria in questo modo unico con 100 fisarmoniche e benedetto la prosperità della madrepatria. Cao Ye è un importante fisarmonicista cinese che si è classificato al 2° posto nel Klingenthal Variete Entertainment 2012 e al 2° posto al Premio Campana d'Oro 2015 per la musica da concerto per fisarmonica.
