The East Is Red
"'''The East Is Red'''" ({{zh-cp|c=&#19996;&#26041;&#32418;|p=D&#333;ngf&#257;东方红|p=Dōngfāng Hóng}}) is a [[song]] that was the ''[[de facto]]'' [[anthem]] of the [[People's Republic of China]] during the [[Cultural Revolution]] in the [[1960s]]. The lyrics of the song was attributed to, [[Li Youyuan]], a farmer from northern [[Shaanxi]], and the melody was from a local folk song. He allegedly got his inspiration upon seeing the rising sun in the morning of a sunny day.
