The origin of China and Olympic songs

Wu Yanze, vice chairman of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and secretary of the Party Leadership Group of the Chinese Musicians Association, said: "The Olympic Games are not only a showcase of sports competition, but also the culture of the host country and host city. In the history of world music, Chinese musicians have created a number of world-class outstanding works, such as "The Moon Reflects on Two Springs", "Butterfly Lovers", "Jasmine", etc. have inspired the creation of many musicians around the world. Chinese musicians have created outstanding works such as "Asian Heroes" for the 11th Asian Games, and also released them to cooperate with Beijing's bid to host the Olympic Games. In 1993, when Beijing was bidding to host the 2000 Olympic Games, there was a song "Good Luck Beijing" that was well-known to women and children. It was specially composed for China's Olympic bid by George Moroder, a world music master who loves China very much. This world-class master who once composed the Olympic theme song specially composed this very international and popular song for China's Olympic bid. We also asked the cultural counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Los Angeles at the time to fill in both Chinese and English versions of the lyrics. Finally, the Chinese version was sung by Mao Amin and Sun Guoqing, and the English version was sung by a famous American band. After the song was broadcast on CCTV and abroad, it caused a great response, and various "Good Luck Beijing" and "Good Lucky Bei Jing" became the most fashionable and popular greetings for Beijing's Olympic bid that year.
