The East is Red (Cultural Revolution Anthem)
The east is red
The sun is rising
China has brought forth Mao Ze Dong
He works for the people’s happiness
He is the people’s great saving star.

Chairman Mao loves the people
Chairman Mao is our guide
To build a new China
He leads us forward

The Communist Party is like the sun
Bringing light wherever it shines
Where there’s the Communist Party
There the people will win liberation.

Sailing the Seas Depends on the Helmsman

Sailing the seas depends on the helmsman,
Life and growth depend on the sun
Rain and dew drops nourish the crops
Making revolution depends on Mao ZeDong’s thought

Fish can’t leave the water
Nor melons leave the vine
The revolutionary masses can’t do without the communist party
Mao Zedong’s thought is the sun that shines forever.
