History
The lyrics to the song were written by Jin Guolin, a 12-year-old student who was in 5th grade in 1970, and the composer was Jin Yueling, a 19-year-old apprentice from Shanghai Sixth Glass Factory.
This song was part of the daily routine for many primary schools. It would be sung, following "The Internationale" and "The East is Red". It was also used as propaganda with a similar use to Red Sun in the Sky.
The first three measures of the chorus of this song were used repeatedly as background music in Hong Kong 97, an infamous bootleg Super Famicom game released in 1995. The game, whose plot involved the handover of Hong Kong in 1997, had a strong anti-communist sentiment, and therefore, the song was used sarcastically.
