● 巴黎奥运正如火如荼举办中，不禁让主播们联想到08年北京奥运会，那个盛况空前、一去不复返的年代。而本期我们想来聊一聊的人物陈其钢，正是那一年奥运的音乐总监。
As the Paris Olympics unfold in full swing, the hosts can’t help but reminisce about the 2008 Beijing Olympics—a grand spectacle, a moment in history that will never return. This episode is dedicated to a figure closely tied to that era: Qigang Chen, the music director of the Beijing Olympics.
● 我对于陈其钢的人生了解不多，直到今年上半年，偶然间读到陈老师的个人自传《悲喜同源》，被书中所描述的经历所震撼，也很感动，因此去网上看了他的不同访谈，也为他分享对于艺术、文化、风格的理解所受益匪浅。因此想在这一期与大家分享这位或许不为大众所熟知，但作品却广为流传的老先生。
Until earlier this year, I knew little about Chen’s personal life. It was by chance that I came across his memoir Sadness and Joy Come from the Same Source, and I was deeply moved by the extraordinary life he describes. This led me to seek out his interviews, where his reflections on art, culture, and style offered valuable insights. Although not a household name, his works have left an indelible mark, and I wanted to share his story with our audience.
● 陈其钢老师是当代先锋派作曲家，其作品包括北京奥运会主题曲《我和你》、电影《金陵十三钗》、《归来》等影视配乐《秦淮景》、《默默的情怀》；个人交响乐作品《逝去的时光》、《五行》等曾获得多项国际大奖。
Qigang Chen is a contemporary avant-garde composer whose works include the Beijing Olympics theme song You and Me, film scores for The Flowers of War and Coming Home, as well as orchestral compositions like Instants d’un Opéra de Pékin and Wu Xing (The Five Elements), which have won numerous international awards.
● 他于1951年在上海出生，北京长大，历经文革，中年移居法国，被现代派作曲大师梅西安收为关门弟子，而后又回到浙江。

● 陈老师处事淡然，自始至终保持着内心的坚持，不为世俗妥协，而我也从他的坚持中感受到了某种力量。他前半生曾为中国音乐文化的传承作出诸多贡献，为年轻一代作曲家提供了更多机会，致力于公益事业。然而，60岁不幸丧子，67岁查出癌症，今年陈其钢已经72岁高寿，现居中国浙江丽水一偏僻之处——黄泥岭村的“躬耕书院”，养病归隐。他的一生跌宕起伏，大喜大悲。他说幸福的到来总是伴随痛苦，一切终将灰飞烟灭，剩下是为实现理想和活下去的抗争。而这，便正是他的自述所题——“悲喜同源”。
Throughout his life, Chen has remained composed and unwavering, refusing to compromise his artistic integrity for worldly recognition. His dedication has been a source of strength and inspiration for me. In his earlier years, he contributed significantly to the preservation of Chinese musical traditions, supported young composers, and engaged in philanthropic work. However, his later years have been marked by personal tragedy—losing his son at 60, being diagnosed with cancer at 67. Now at 72, he resides in a secluded retreat, Geng Academy, in Huangniling Village, Lishui, Zhejiang, where he battles illness in quiet solitude. His life has been a journey of soaring highs and devastating lows. He once said that happiness always comes hand in hand with suffering, that everything will eventually fade to dust, leaving only the struggle to fulfill one’s ideals and to survive. This philosophy is at the heart of his memoir Sadness and Joy Come from the Same Source.
● 衷心希望陈老师身体健康。
We sincerely wish Mr. Chen good health and peace.
