About  “Red song” refers to the pro-revolutionary songs that were popular during the country's revolution, reconstruction and reform period, said a professor with the Central Conservatory of Music. It also includes elements that represent happiness, harmony, being positive and healthy. The term is actually quite inclusive.” The songs are all contemporary works, and include “Country,” performed by Hong Kong film star Jackie Chan and mainland singer Liu Yuanyuan in praise of the ties between every household and the fate of the entire country.
