Dongfanghong is a song, right? What age or description?

This folk song was originally a northern Shaanxi folk song "Riding a White Horse". 1943 In the winter, Li Youyuan (1903- 1955), a farmer singer in Jiaxian County, Shaanxi Province, wrote a folk song "Song of Immigrants" with more than ten lyrics according to the tune of riding a white horse. Song of Immigrants has both narrative elements and lyrical elements, expressing the happy mood of poor farmers pursuing a happy life under the leadership of Chairman Mao and the Communist Party of China (CPC). After the song was compiled, Li Zengzheng, Li Youyuan's nephew and farmer singer, sang at folk and mass gatherings many times, which was very popular with people. Subsequently, Yan 'an literary and art workers sorted out and edited the immigrant songs, wrote three lyrics, renamed them Dongfanghong, and published them in 1944 Liberation Daily.

After liberation, in order to adapt to the performance of professional chorus, many composers adapted it into a chorus. The popular chorus "Dongfanghong" was composed by the famous composer Li Huanzhi.

During the Cultural Revolution, almost everyone could sing Dongfanghong, which became the solemn ode of the great leader Chairman Mao and actually became the national anthem. March of the volunteers, the primary national anthem, only plays music when welcoming foreign guests, and does not sing lyrics. At major conferences and gatherings, Dongfanghong will appear.
