2．For 18 years after her retirement，Deng Xiaolan volunteered to teach music in a village in Fuping county，Hebei province.Her inspirational teaching and the enthusiasm and talent of her pupils made the 44 children from Malan village sing the Olympic anthem （頌歌） in Greek at the opening ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics on Feb，which were one of the highlights of the night.
Deng's involvement with the rural children can be dated back to her parents.Her father Deng Tuo was the publisher of Jinchaji Daily，a newspaper which was based in Malan village in Fuping county，Hebei province，from 1939 to 1948.During the Japanese aggression （侵略），19 Malan locals were killed for refusing to
divulge information about the newspaper.Under the influence of her parents，who both had a passion for music，she learned the violin and singing when she was young.She joined the school band after entering Tsinghua University，and also taught her workmates to play the violin after graduation.
In 2003，when Deng Xiaolan returned to the village to remember the persons who were killed by Japanese invaders，a group of local children also attended the ceremony.She wanted to sing a song together with the children in commemoration （紀念儀式），but none of the children knew the well-known songs she named.
"If the children couldn't sing，then they wouldn't know how to appreciate music.Life would be so colorless if it doesn't have music，" Deng said. "My parents lived and fought here when they were young，and they wanted the locals to live a happy life.So I thought if I had the chance，I must teach them to sing."
Deng began to travel between Beijing and the village since 2004 to teach the children music.She collected instruments and also rebuilt the school houses by raising funds and using her own money.As the children had no background in music，she had to teach them basic music knowledge.
Two years later，she formed the Malan Band.Among more than 200 students taught by Deng，many left the mountainous village to receive university education，some of whom are studying art at university or have entered a career in art education.
