"We're Chinese" by Hong Kong veteran singer Andy Lau fully illustrates this with a catchy melody and bold lyrics. It was written in 1997, the year Hong Kong returned to China after being a British colony for more than a hundred years. As a native Hong Konger as well as a patriotic Chinese person, Andy Lau directly expressed his excitement for the return of Hong Kong to the motherland and his pride in being Chinese. He sings, "The same tears and the same pains, we bury our sufferings deep in our hearts. The same blood and the same heritage, there are dreams in the future. We'll open up a path together. Hand in hand, striding proudly ahead, we'll let the world know that we are all Chinese." Now let's enjoy this meaningful song.

Although Chinese people have accomplished many splendid achievements in the past, the history of China from the mid-1800s to 1919 is actually a history of humiliation. However, this humiliation should be forever remembered in order to avoid the repeat of such tragedy. This was the motivation in writing "Descendants of the Dragon." The first half of this song is another paean of our great motherland, while the second half is a narration of China's tragic experience of being invaded. In the development of modern China, this song plays an important role in reminding Chinese people not to slack off. People in different ages have different feelings towards it.

The version we share with you now belongs to Taiwan singer Leehom Wang. In his opinion, although time has changed and the situations are different, the love of Chinese people all around the world towards their motherland is constant as well as their hope for China to become prosperous and powerful. Wang adds a lot of modern musical elements to his version of "Descendants of the Dragon," including rapping in English. Let's enjoy it now.

Patriotism has different meanings in different historical contexts. Young people today live in a peaceful modern China, so they have not experienced the turmoil and hardships their forefathers have been through. However, modern Chinese people try their best to win honor for their motherland in every field. For example, elite Chinese athletes' efforts have won worldwide respect for China. "The Yellows" is a song written for Chinese athletes who strive for the best at the Olympic Games. The writer and singer of this song is Nicholas Tse. The inspiration of the song came one night in 2004, when he stayed up late for the Olympic women's volleyball final, which the Chinese won. Tse says he is proud of the color of his skin, the proof of his identity as a Chinese person. To add more Chinese touches to the song, Tse incorporated flutes and drums to the music. Now let's enjoy the Mandarin version together.

Our final track "Five-Star Red Flag," expresses a patriotic feeling through exhorting the national flag. It sings, "Five-star red flag, you are my pride. Five-star red flag, I'm proud of you. Cheering for you, praying for you, your name is more important than my life." The sonorous and resounding voice of Chinese mainland singer Sun Nan fits the song perfectly. This song is meaningful to Sun and China not only artistically. It was one of the theme songs for Beijing's successful bid to host the 2008 Olympic Games and made its own contribution to securing the games. For Sun Nan, this song is the work that established his reputation. Let's enjoy this meaningful song together.
