GETchan | 东方红 (简短版) - The East Is Red (Short Version) @GETchan | Uploaded 1 month ago | Updated 2 hours ago
The East Is Red - one of China's most well-known revolutionary songs. This is a highly condensed version of the song. Most recordings clock in at around 4 minutes, where as this short version manages to get through the stanzas in a minute and a half. This recording came from a Japanese record of songs from the Cultural Revolution and Chairman Mao's poems, though the audio appears to be sourced from a Chinese flexi-disc collection called "Chairman Mao, We Are Always Loyal To You" (毛主席啊，我们永远忠于您).
Year Recorded: 1968
Composer: Traditional
Year Composed: Early 1930s
Lyricist: Li Youyuan (李有源)
Year Written: 1942
Source: Vinyl record "毛沢東主席詩詞／新中国のうたごえ" PRH-1004
