Asian Mighty Wind was the 11th Asian Games.
Asian Mighty Wind Background:
Asian Mighty Wind was composed by Xu Peidong, with lyrics by Zhang Qua. The way of composing "Asian Wind" is a bit special, it is the tune first, then fill in the lyrics. Xu Peidong was sitting at the piano when he wrote the song, and found the melody as he played, then found his good friend Zhang Qua, and the two of them discussed the lyrics together.
Zhang Qua said that the word "乍" in the lyrics of the song "亚洲风乍起" was very hard to think of, and a leader said that it was not a good idea to use this word during the review, but the word "乍" was saved. But the word "Chad" was retained. The name "Asian Wind" has a few more twists and turns.
The song was initially called "Asian Lion", but the censors and leaders thought that "lion" was a metaphor for China itself, and that an intercontinental games host should not have too strong an ego, so they decided to change it. Zhang Wei finished the revision the next day after he received the comments, and changed the word "lion" to "wind", which passed the audit successfully.
