The name “There’s a Golden Sun in Beijing” comes from the Revolutionary song by the same name. This is a Tibetan song that is popular throughout China.
Below is a recent Erhu (Chinese two-stringed instrument) rendition.
Below is a vocal rendition with Tibetan style dance accompaniment.
Chairman Mao is the Golden Sun of Beijing.
The name comes from a poem by Mao Zedong called “Three Short Poems” 1934 – 1935. 山 Mountains! 快马加鞭未下鞍。I whip my swift horse, glued to my saddle. 惊回首，I turn my head startled, 离天三尺三。The sky is three foot three above me!
