History

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (September 2020)

The lyricist of the song was 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".

The first three measures of the chorus of this song were used repeatedly as background music in the infamous 1995 Japanese bootleg Super Famicom video game, Hong Kong 97. The game, whose plot involved the transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong in 1997, had a strong anti-Communist sentiment, and therefore, the song was used sarcastically.
