Chapter 1914 "The Baltic Sea is Waking Up"

The song that sounded on the scene is called "The Baltic Sea is Waking Up" (Lithuanian: Bunda jau Baltija, Latvian: Atmostas Baltija Estonian: rgake, Baltimaad), born in 1989, is Boris Reznik (Boris Reznik) ) to commemorate the "Baltic Road", a large-scale demonstration against the former Soviet Union, and to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the signing of the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact" and to fight for the independence of the Baltic countries. The song was composed in three languages.

This song has a very special status in the three countries of the Baltic Sea, and it will even be called "the common national anthem of the Baltic Sea".

The background of the birth of this song is related to the struggle.

Audiences from the three Baltic countries sang this song at Gu Xiaobai's performance, and its significance is self-evident.

And as the singing sounded, the crowd below began to hold the hands of the people around them.

Then he raised his hand high.

For a time, the scene was full of arms raised high.

This disaster relief performance was also broadcast live to the whole world. At this time, in front of many TVs, the audience looked at a loss, not knowing what they were doing.

At the scene, on the backstage side, Wilder watched the scene in front of him in shock.

Young people today may not remember it anymore. For most people, the history of the three Baltic countries is not a compulsory course at all, so not everyone knows it.

But Wilder, who had been interviewing in the former Soviet Union years before that empire collapsed, had seen the "Baltic Road" with his own eyes.

In 1989, in order to fight for the independence of the three Baltic countries, they launched a peaceful protest. According to the plan, all the people who participated in the event joined hands, starting from Vilnius, along the A2 highway, passing through Ukmerge and Panev Risi, then follow the E67 highway, pass through Chekhanuf, Bauska, Riga, Ainaz, Parnu, and finally reach Tallinn, forming a long human chain.

The length of this human chain, more than 675 kilometers, crosses the three Baltic countries. In order to make this road physically feasible, at least 20 people from each country need to participate. In fact, the number of people participating is close to 200 million. From the aerial video Looking at it, even in the sparsely populated rural areas, this human chain has not been clearly broken.

And this song was created to commemorate this event.

Its lyrics are divided into three sections.

The first verse is sung in Latvian:
"Three sisters stood by the sea,

They are weak and tired.

Where their lands and souls lie,
And the honor and spirit of the three nations.

But fate's bell has sounded,

The sea began to roar.

The three sleeping sisters,

Start fighting for yourself.

wake up the Baltic,
wake up the Baltic,

Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia!"

The second stanza is sung in Lithuanian:

"Three sisters by the sea are sleeping,
They are sad and hopeless.

They wander like vagabonds by the sea,
Find lost souls of nation and honor.

But the bell of fate has sounded,
The sea began to roar.

They have awakened from sleep,
to defend their honor.

wake up the Baltic,

wake up the Baltic,
Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia! "

The third stanza is sung in Estonian:

"Three sisters in the sea stand before them,

The song of the waves has come.

Here three nations have fought for centuries,

Die for ancient honor.

When the bell on the tower rings,
The sea brings the hope of freedom.

To protect life and future,
Three sisters are waking up.

wake up the Baltic,
wake up the Baltic,
Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia! "

When the song sounded, the audience couldn't hold back anymore.

Their DNA moved!

This song has been deeply engraved in their genes, and almost when it is played, it has already aroused the anger deep in their hearts.

They looked up and looked at Gu Xiaobai on the stage.

No matter how fearful, how suppressed, how much self-brainwashing, there is one thing that cannot be changed.

This disaster, this frozen sea, this blizzard covering everything, was brought by this boy standing on the stage.

He brought misfortune and disaster, let us bear such a bitter fruit, but now he is standing on the stage with a pitiful face!

Why?why!
The anger that was suppressed and dared not be released before was finally completely released now.

More and more people who were only planning to come to the disaster relief party also stretched out their hands and joined the human chain.

The old man is holding the child, and the man is holding the woman. At this moment, everyone at the scene, regardless of nationality, age, or whether they know each other or not, raised their hands tightly and sang this song loudly. Song.

"Wake up the Baltic,
wake up the Baltic,
Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia! "

Especially when the three languages ​​are brought together, the atmosphere at the scene is enough to make one's skin crawl.

Their singing became louder and louder, and the song seemed to give them courage to raise their heads and look at Gu Xiaobai on the stage, and anger began to emerge in their eyes.

For the people of the Baltics, music, or singing, has power.

During the "Baltic Road" period, they launched a protracted and spontaneous singing activity, which lasted for several years.

At that time, it was even called the "singing revolution".

Even in modern times, every once in a while, they have to hold singing conferences, which is already a tradition of them.

The atmosphere at the scene became more and more enthusiastic, and Wilder became more and more panicked.

This is resistance!Today, they want to kill Xiaobai!
This is treating Gu Xiaobai as an enemy of the country and all the people!
Even though Wilder claims that he understands Western society very well, what he actually understands is the mainstream society in Europe and the United States, what he understands is the hypocrisy of the United States, and the people who have been brainwashed by this system.

The compradors and politicians of the three Baltic countries will indeed meet his expectations.

But ordinary people in the three Baltic countries are not completely like this.

And it is these unexpected small parts, like a single spark, that will start a prairie fire!
"Stop the live broadcast!" Wilder said to Hao Fanbo.

The show, out of control, can't go on.

"Wait a little longer." Hao Fanbo shook his head, "Xiaobai is still on stage."

"You may not understand what this song and this practice mean! Hurry up and stop the live broadcast before it's too late!" Wilder said anxiously.

"Maybe I don't quite understand what this means, but I understand Xiaobai." Hao Fanbo said.

Because as long as he stands on the stage, he will not lose.
