In the Sparkling Red Star I Go to War (Hongxing Zhaowo Qu Zhandou)
The theme song of a 1974 film called Sparkling Red Star (Shanshan De Hongxing), a coming of age movie starring boy actor Zhu Xinyun. The simple lyrics and melody of the song make it easy for both children and adults to sing. Classic line: The little bamboo raft floats on the river, while the mountains on the sides recede. The red star shines with sparkles, brightening my way to the war. One generation after another stride like the waves, following our Communist Party.
