Lyrics:
The sun is the reddest, and Chairman Mao is the closest.
Your brilliant thoughts will shine on my heart forever, and the spring breeze is the warmest.
Chairman Mao is the closest, and your brilliant thoughts always refer to sailing.
Your achievements are higher than the sky and your kindness is deeper than the sea.
The sun in your heart will never set, and you will always be connected with our hearts.
Your achievements are higher than the sky and your kindness is deeper than the sea.
The sun in your heart will never set, and you will always be connected with our hearts.
You will always be heart to heart with us. You broke the chain.
The slave becomes the master, and you disperse the fog.
The sun shines on the earth during the Spring Festival, and you open the fountain of happiness.
For thousands of generations, this is the golden road you have opened up.
We move forward unswervingly, and the sun is the reddest.
Chairman Mao is the dearest, and your brilliant thoughts will always shine in my heart.
Spring breeze is the warmest, and Chairman Mao is the closest.
Your brilliant thoughts always refer to sailing.
Song creation background:
1On September 9th, 976, President Mao Zedong passed away, and the people of China were immersed in grief. Out of nostalgia and reverence for the great leader, Fu Lin wrote the lyrics of "The sun is reddest and Chairman Mao is closest". When the composer Wang Xiren got the lyrics, the Tangshan earthquake had just passed and he was still living in an earthquake shed. In order to write, he walked out of the earthquake shed without electric lights and risked aftershocks to write all night in the empty dormitory. The next morning, he successfully finished composing music.
