The East is Red
A northern Chinese folk melody

The east is red,
The sun is rising.
China has brought forth a Mao Zedong.
He works for the people's happiness,
hu erh hai ya,
He is the people's great saving star.


Chairman Mao loves the people,
Chairman Mao, he is our guide.
To build a new China,
hu erh hai ya,
He leads us forever forward.

The Communist Party is like the sun,
Bringing light wherever is shines.
Where there's the Communist Party,
hu erh hai ya,
There the people will win liberation.



A storm is coming. The third great wave of proletarian revolutions.

  • Long live the great Peoples Republic of China!

  • @AtheismCentral actually it was the unofficial anthem of china during the red revolution before 1949

  • @ZLUGGO

    New? This was never the national anthem, this is the song for Chairman Mao Zedong, and his work for China, but the anthem of China has always been the march of the volunteers.

  • @Zhonguoria that's true..even libya was more democratic than USA.. with their jamahrirya government

    Long Live Red China !!

  • @ZLUGGO the original Internationale was better than the anthem of the USSR, too.

  • @ZLUGGO their "new" anthem came BEFORE this song... this song is not as old as their anthem. this is about praising chairman mao and communism while their anthem is about the survival of the chinese race during the massacres commited by the japs in the second sino-japanese war.

  • @ZLUGGO

    China's brought forth a mao Zedong!

  • Inspiring. But I expect that if you have to hear it over and over again, from dawn to night, week after week and year after year it might gradually become a little less inspiring.
