During the Anti-Japanese War, the song that was really sung the most in Jiangsu was the Huangqiao sesame seed cake song with the flavor of Jiangnan cuisine. Gao, secretary-general of Jiangsu Music Association, told reporters that "Huangqiao Sesame Cake Song" was born during the famous Huangqiao Campaign in northern Jiangsu.

Say yes 1940. During the decisive battle of Huangqiao, thousands of people rushed to make the local specialty "Huangqiao sesame cake", carts were sent to the front from all directions, and stretcher teams were organized to transport the wounded, which played an important role in the victory of Huangqiao campaign.

This song was written by Zhang Mei, a famous anti-Japanese composer. In the late 1980s, Zhang Mei returned to Jiangsu with his wife. At that time, he had become a researcher of Chinese Folk Music Society, and his wife was the vice chairman of Beijing Music Association. Their trip in Jiangsu was received by Gao. At their request, Gao took them back to Huangqiao.

In huangqiao town, I once again picked up crispy and delicious sesame cakes, and the medals were filled with emotion. Recalling the creation of Huangqiao sesame seed cake song, I was eating sesame seed cake and drinking soybean milk with several female members of the Art Troupe in a small shop in huangqiao town. They were very moved to see the masses supporting the army in full swing!

Several female members of the art troupe pieced together the lyrics while drinking soybean milk and eating sesame cakes. "Huangqiao baked wheat cake is yellow, and yellow baked wheat cake is a kind of comfort. Cooking cakes should be roasted with fire, and the army should rely on the help of ordinary people. Comrades, have enough to eat and pay more guns when you win the battle! " After dinner, Zhang Mei immediately composed music. This is how Huangqiao Sesame Cake Song came out.

It is worth mentioning that this famous "Huangqiao Sesame Cake Song" spread all over the country with the footsteps of the New Fourth Army. After liberation, Huangqiao sesame seed cake was also selected as the state banquet in founding ceremony.
