穿越時空的冼星海大街

在我的家鄉阿拉木圖市，有一條以中國人民音樂家冼星海命名的街道——冼星海大街。在它不遠處，還有一條以哈薩克斯坦音樂家巴赫德讓·拜卡達莫夫命名的街道。兩條平行的街道，記錄著兩位音樂家在戰爭年代結下的患難之誼。

讓我們將目光投向20世紀40年代，那個戰火紛飛的年代。冼星海，一個名字背后承載著音樂與革命精神的符號，踏上了前往蘇聯的征途，卻因戰爭的突變，意外滯留在哈薩克斯坦的阿拉木圖。在阿拉木圖，冼星海遇到了生命中的貴人——巴赫德讓·拜卡達莫夫。拜卡達莫夫甚至不知道他的名字，就對這位抱著小提琴的中國音樂家伸出了援助之手，提供住所，分享食物，更重要的是，他給予了冼星海以最寶貴的信任和支持。在那個物資匱乏、信息閉塞的年代，這份超越國界的信任，是何等的難能可貴！它超越了語言的界限，跨越了文化的差異，成為連接中哈兩國人民情感的紐帶。冼星海也沒有辜負這份信任。在艱苦的環境中，他依然堅持創作，譜寫歌曲。正是“信”——堅定的信仰、崇高的信念與優良的信譽，這三者在冼星海的音樂旅程中熠熠生輝，如同他不朽的旋律，跨越歲月，回響至今。

冼星海，這位中國近代音樂史上的巨匠，他的生命軌跡是對“信仰”的深刻詮釋。在那個動蕩不安的年代，面對民族危亡和個人困境，冼星海從未放棄對音樂的熱愛與追求。他在阿拉木圖面對異國他鄉的陌生與孤獨，正是對音樂的堅定信仰，如燈塔般指引著他前行。冼星海不僅創作了大量傳世佳作，還致力于音樂教育，用音符傳遞力量，用旋律激發希望，這是他對音樂信仰的堅守，也是對國家和民族的深沉愛戀。

在阿拉木圖的歲月里，冼星海展現了跨越種族與國界的人文情懷與藝術信念。他不僅吸收了當地及蘇聯的音樂元素，豐富了自己的創作風格，還將中國音樂介紹給世界。這種文化互鑒，是他對藝術無國界信念的實踐。《民族解放》《神圣之戰》等作品，不僅是對戰爭的控訴，更是對和平與自由的強烈呼喚，它們在阿拉木圖的誕生，見證了冼星海如何用音樂語言溝通心靈，用藝術的力量促進理解與和平。

冼星海在阿拉木圖期間，不僅以其卓越的才華贏得了當地人民的尊重與愛戴，更以他的人格魅力樹立了良好的信譽。他的生活簡樸，對待學生和朋友熱情真摯，無論是對音樂的執著還是對人的真誠，都讓他的名字成為信譽的代名詞。即使在艱難環境中，他也堅持幫助有需要的人，用實際行動證明信譽比黃金更寶貴。

親愛的朋友們，當我們回望冼星海在阿拉木圖的這段歷史時，我們看到的是一個音樂家如何憑借對音樂的信仰、對藝術的信念以及個人的信譽，克服重重困難，不僅在異國他鄉留下了不朽的音樂遺產，更在人們心中種下了友誼與和平的種子。

如今，作為一名在鹽城求學的哈薩克斯坦學生，我深切感受到“信”字在中哈友好關系中的重要性。無論是“一帶一路”倡議下的合作，還是人文交流的日益頻繁，都是建立在相互理解和信任的基礎上。我有幸成為中哈友誼的見證者和參與者，希望通過我的學習和努力，以冼星海為榜樣，努力成為兩國文化交流的小小“信使”；同時，從冼星海的故事中汲取靈感，無論身處何方，面對何種挑戰，都懷揣著堅定的信仰，秉持不渝的信念，守護個人與集體的信譽，共同創造一個更加和諧美好的世界。

My hometown of Almaty has a street named after Chinese musician Xian Xinghai. Not far from it， there is another street honoring the Kazakh musician Bakhytzhan Baikadamov. These two parallel streets commemorate the friendship formed between the two musicians during the war years.

Let us now turn our attention to the 1940s， a period marked by wars. Xian Xinghai， a name synonymous with music and revolutionary spirit， embarked on a journey to the Soviet Union but found himself unexpectedly stranded in Almaty， Kazakhstan due to the outbreak of war. In Almaty， Xian met an important person in his life—Bakhytzhan Baikadamov. Initially unaware of Xian’s identity， Baikadamov extended a helping hand to the Chinese musician by providing a violin， shelter and food. More importantly， he offered Xian trust and support， the most precious gifts anyone could have received during that tumultuous time. In that era of scarcity and limited information， a trust that transcended national boundaries was invaluable. It surpassed language barriers and cultural differences， forging a bond between the people of China and Kazakhstan. Xian lived up to this trust. Despite the harsh conditions， he continued to compose and write songs. It was the Chinese character “信” （xìn）—firm faith， noble ideals and good reputation—that shone brightly on Xian’s musical journey， now revered like his immortal melodies through the years.

Xian， a master in the history of modern Chinese music， interpreted the meaning of “faith” with his life trajectory. In that turbulent era， facing national peril and personal hardship， Xian never abandoned his passion and pursuit of music. Facing the unfamiliar and isolating environment of Almaty， his unwavering belief in music guided him forward like a lighthouse. Not only did Xian create many timeless masterpieces， but he also devoted himself to music education， transmitting strength through notes and inspiring hope through melodies. Such was his commitment to his faith in music and a profound love for his country and people.

During his years in Almaty， Xian demonstrated a humanitarian and artistic belief that transcended race and national boundaries. He not only absorbed local and Soviet musical influences to enrich his creative style but also introduced Chinese music to the world. This cultural exchange put into practice his belief in the boundlessness of art. Works such as the National Liberation Symphony and the Sacred War Symphony not only denounced the horrors of war but also served as powerful calls for peace and freedom. Their creation in Almaty demonstrates how Xian used the language of music to communicate with souls and promote understanding and peace through the power of art.

While in Almaty， Xian not only earned the respect and affection of the local people with his outstanding talent but also established a good reputation with his charismatic personality. He lived a simple life and treated his students and friends with sincerity. His dedication to music and his genuine sincerity towards others made his name synonymous with trust. Even in difficult circumstances， he persisted in helping those in need， proving that reputation is more valuable than gold.

Dear friends， as we look back on Xian Xinghai’s time in Almaty， we see how a musician overcame numerous difficulties through his faith in music， belief in art， and personal reputation， leaving an immortal musical legacy in a foreign land and planting seeds of friendship and peace in people’s hearts.

Today， as a Kazakh student studying in Yancheng， I deeply understand the importance of the word faith in the friendly relations between China and Kazakhstan. Whether it’s cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative or increasingly frequent cultural exchanges， all are based on mutual understanding and trust. I am fortunate to be both a witness and a participant in the friendship between China and Kazakhstan. With Xian Xinghai as a role model， I hope to become a small “messenger” of cultural exchange between the two countries through my studies and efforts. Inspired by Xian’s story， I will always carry a firm belief， uphold unwavering convictions， protect the reputation of individuals and collectives， and work together to create a more harmonious and beautiful world， no matter where I am or what challenges I face.
