In 1996, the lyricist Jiang Kairu was invited by the Luohu District of Shenzhen to write a song for the return of Hong Kong to China.
In 1997, after Deng Xiaoping's death, Jiang Kairu saw Comrade Jiang Zemin's report, which said that he would "hold up the great banner of Deng Xiaoping's theory and further deepen the reform and opening up", which not only inspired him, but also made him feel that the reform and opening up would continue.
So, Jiang Kairu wrote in his diary, "We sing the Oriental Red and stand up as the master of the house, we tell the story of spring, reform and opening up and get rich, and the leader of the past leads us into a new era, hold up the flag and create the future," which later became the lyrics of the four lines. The songwriter, Yin Qing, wrote the tune the same night he got the lyrics and wrote two drafts, the first one was written in a very majestic way, sounding and feeling like a marching song, and the second one was a bit more popular.
Then, with the two scores in hand, Yin Qing went to the head of the Frontier Song and Dance Troupe to get his opinion. After reading them, the troupe leader said that both drafts were quite good, and went to the restroom without further comment. Yinqing heard the head of the group humming in the restroom, was a little more popular that manuscript, Yinqing then used the second draft.
June 15, 1997, "Hong Kong Morning" group song was officially unveiled, Luohu District decided to use the last song, "China is fortunate" dedicated to the 15th National Congress of the Chinese **** Producers Party, the song was sent to the CCTV, the relevant leaders, comrades involved in the modification of the creation, and renamed "Into the New Era".

"I was particularly touched by Comrade Jiang Zemin's words, holding high the great banner of Deng Xiaoping Theory and further deepening reform and opening up. When I heard that, I felt that our reform and opening up would continue. Chinese people used to be afraid of being poor, and after the reform and opening up and getting rich, they were especially worried about whether they would change back again, but now it's good, it won't change." Jiang Kairu wrote a new song in one sitting that night.
