In which year was the song Dongfanghong composed~?

This folk song was originally the northern Shaanxi folk song "Riding the White Horse". In the winter of 1943, Li Youyuan (1903-1955), a peasant singer from Jia County, Shaanxi Province (now Jia County), wrote a folk song "Immigration Song" with more than ten paragraphs of lyrics based on the tune of "Riding the White Horse". "Immigration Song" has both narrative and lyrical elements, expressing the joyful mood of the poor farmers in pursuing a happy life under the leadership of Chairman Mao and the Communist Party of China. After the song was compiled, it was sung by Li Youyuan's nephew and peasant singer Li Zengzheng many times at folk and mass gatherings, and was very popular among people. Subsequently, Yan'an literary and artistic workers organized and deleted "Immigration Song" into three lyrics, and renamed it "Dongfanghong", which was published in "Liberation Daily" in 1944.
