编者按 2006年春节前夕，《同一首歌》首次踏上北美大陆，为国外的游子送去祖国母亲的关怀和问候。节目播出后获得了国内外华人华侨的一致好评。2月20日15时，该节目总导演孟欣、著名歌唱家李谷一做客了新浪嘉宾聊天室，与网友畅谈《同一首歌》的昨天、今天和明天，其中谈到了法轮功干扰破坏《同一首歌》演出的有关情况。
主持人：我看到有一个网友说，他也看到了不少法轮功分子妄图对这个演出进行干扰，还有传闻说法轮功在国外向李谷一老师发出了追查通告，是不是真的有这件事？
李谷一：这个是有。在我出国之前，纽约的一个头目（笔者注：关贵敏）给我来了一个电话，也讲了一些事情，当然对我是一种精神上的压力，因为以前没有嘛，我以前经常去美国，去年一年去过好多次，没有这种事情。这次突然就有，对我是很大的振动，走之前，他们给我发了“以李谷一为首”的公开信，当然网上能看到的，我现在成了他们那个组织的全球通缉犯。
主持人：为什么呀？
李谷一：我也不知道，在网上能够看到，网友们都告诉我了，我觉得这对我是一种摧残，一种精神压力，我们唱歌，为祖国为自己的艺术唱，这是无可厚非的，我们就是很正常的，春节了，中央电视台组织我们对海外的华人华侨进行慰问演出，跟他们一起联欢，过个春节，他们给我们造了很多谣，说让我成了全球通缉犯，不知道通缉我干什么？我几十年都唱这几首歌，通缉我干什么？我又没骂过你们，对我进行摧残干什么？扰乱我的工作和精神，到了加拿大，我的精神压力特别大，到现在我还有压力，觉得很莫名其妙的。但是后来我就想，总有老艺术家嘛，中央电视台打的就是李谷一就是头牌嘛。我们讲了这么多，在国外的华人华侨，包括留学生，那么多单位，那么多人参加我们的节目，95%都是热爱祖国，希望祖国富强，希望祖国好，希望我们华人团结在一起的。那当然是个别的，我觉得还是个别的，所以给我的精神压力很大，现在还有呢，你们能够看到，什么“全球通缉犯”的，我觉得很莫名其妙的。当然顶着这个压力，我觉得我还是要去，因为这等于是一个任务嘛，不过我现在还是不高兴。
李谷一：我都唱一辈子了，你通缉我，我还是唱这些歌，我就唱到死了。做任何节目，我们大家都是高高兴兴你说我的曲目，《我和我的祖国》84年就唱了，还有《乡恋》，也是八十年代的歌，还有《绒花》七十年代的唱，的，我们到新加坡也做了，到国外主要是跟华人华侨，跟这些孩子们联欢，联系在一起。
李谷一：我感觉到有点辛酸，我们自己的同胞，在国外，自己搞自己，好象挺没有意思的，好象就是一些少数的人，不代表大多数的中国人，我觉得这样做反而对他们不好，我觉得没有必要，大家都是中国人，这时候应该拧成一股绳，不要搞那么多东西。
李谷一：孟导，将来我们到别的国家去可能也会遇到这样的问题，我觉得没有什么了不起。
主持人：网友说很吃惊，法轮功通缉李老师，觉得很好笑，希望李老师能够放松心情，不要受到影响。就不去想这些事情。
李谷一：毕竟还是少数，绝大多数还是热爱祖国的，还是众望所归的，再加上我们演员到国外以后时差问题、身体问题、节目问题、安排问题，还跟美方、加方协调剧场的问题，忙的四脚朝天了，每天5点才睡觉，甚至有时候通宵不睡觉，吃早饭的时候还没睡觉呢，就顾不上了。
Famous Singer Li Guyi angrily rebukes Falun Gong for disturbing performance of 'The Same Song' Show
Editor's note: Just before the Spring Festival in 2006, CCTV musical show named "The Same Song" set foot on the North American Continent for the first time and gave overseas Chinese the care and regards of their mother country. Chinese people both at home and abroad spoke highly of the performance after it had been broadcasted. At 3:00 pm on February 20, Meng Xin, General Director of the program, and Li Guyi, a famous singer visited Sina chatroom and chatted freely with netpals about the past, the present and the future. They, inter alia, talked about Falun Gong's disturbance of "The Same Song" show.
Host: A netpal said he also learned that a number of Falun Gong members had attempted to disturb this show. And it was also said that the Falun Gong organization abroad had issued an investigation order for Ms. Li Guyi. Is that true?
Li Guyi: Yes, that's the case. Before I went abroad, a ringleader (writer's note: Guan Guimin) phoned me and said something, which exerted pressure on me because I had never faced such kind of things before. I frequently went to the U.S. in the past, with several times last year, but such kind of things had never happened. It shocked me all of a sudden. Before my departure, they released an open letter to me titled "Li Guyi as its head", which could also be found on the Internet. Now I have become a global criminal wanted by that organization.
Host: Why?
Li Guyi: I don't know. That letter could be read online and my netpals told me about it. I feel it has hurt me and stressed me spiritually. We sing songs for the country and the art, which is natural and there's nothing wrong. With the coming of the Spring Festival, CCTV organized us to give a greeting performance for the overseas Chinese and spend the festival with them. Nonetheless, those people created rumors about us and called me a criminal fugitive. I don't know why they list me as wanted? I have sung these songs for decades, why they list me as wanted? I have never scolded them, why they try to hurt me and disturb my work and mind? I felt stressed out while in Canada. I even feel depressed now and think the whole thing as inexplicable. Later, I think that there should be a veteran artist, and I'm the starring singer in CCTV. We have said so much. A lot of overseas Chinese including students abroad and many organizations have watched our show, and 95% percent of them love their motherland and wish to see a strong and prosperous mother country and hope we Chinese people can be united together. Of course that kind of things seldom happened, I think. So I felt stressed at that time and I even feel like that at present. You can see, I've become so-called "global criminal fugitive". It's so inexplicable, I think. Surely I felt I should go and take part in the show even under the pressure, because it was an assignment. I'm still unhappy now, though.
Li Guyi: I've sung in all my life and I will not stop singing these songs until my death in spite of being listed as wanted. We are always very happy whenever we participate in shows. You know, I began to sing "Lovely Homeland" in 1984, "Home Sickness" also in 1980s and "Velvet Flowers" in 1970s. We have been to Singapore to give a performance, too. We go abroad mainly to have a get-together with overseas Chinese, especially the children.
Li Guyi: I feel a bit sad. It seems meaningless for our overseas compatriots to fight against each other, though it seems that there are only few of them involved and they don't represent the majority of Chinese. By doing this, in my opinion, it will have counter-productive effects on those people. In fact they didn't need to do that. We are all Chinese and should have got together and acted as one instead of doing that kind of things.
Li Guyi: Director Meng, it won't be a big deal any more if we face such problems in other countries in the future, I think.
Host: The netpals say there are astonished to know Ms. Li is wanted by Falun Gong and think it ridiculous. They hope you can relax and not be affected by it. Please don't care for it.
Li Guyi: After all there're just a handful of them. The majority of people love their motherland and it's the expectation of most people. Further more, we performers were too busy to care for it due to the time difference, health, programs and arrangement, along with coordination with the American and Canadian sides about theatres. Every day, we didn't go to bed till 5:00 am. Sometimes we even didn't sleep all the night or still stayed up till breakfast time.
