A song composed by Japanese Maoist singer Mitsuko Ogasawara, known for her performances of The East Is Red (https://youtu.be/Kxb2PApwLYs) and Sailing the Seas Depends on the Helmsman (https://youtu.be/YIomuSAz_Ic) in Japanese. The lyrics to the song were written collectively as part of Ogasawaras Sino-Japanese Friendship Song Classroom (日中友好の歌の教室), a group active during the Cultural Revolution with the goal of translating Chinese revolutionary songs and writing songs of friendship between the two countries. After the end of the Cultural Revolution, Ogasawaras focus shifted more to the DPRK and she became chair of the Japanese-Korean Music and Arts Exchange Association (日朝音楽芸術交流会). This recording was performed by a Chinese soloist and choir, but a recording with Ogasawara herself singing the song also exists: https://youtu.be/Bzg2f5n7wUM
