During the period of 1998, due to the continuous rainstorm, the biggest flood occurred in the Yangtze River basin since 1954. In the process of flood fighting and disaster relief, the PLA's own body resisted the flood. For Who was written to commemorate and celebrate the heroes who fought for their lives in the 1998 catastrophic flood. In this unique way, Zu Hai hopes to express his heartfelt respect to the disaster relief heroes.
This song eulogizes the lofty qualities of the people's soldiers who are brave, resolute and unyielding, sings the dedication and mission consciousness of soldiers in peacetime, and also sings the deep feelings of national military-civilian unity.
"For Who" is a song sung by Zu Hai, written by Zou Youkai and composed by Meng Qingyun. It is included in the album "For Who" released by Zu Hai in August 1999. From 1999 to 10, Song won the "Five Ones" project award in Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China.
Lyrics of "For Who"
Mud covered my trouser legs and sweat soaked my back. I don't know who you are, but I know who you are for. For whom, for the harvest in autumn, for the return of geese in spring, I passionately sing youth without regrets, and I don't know when my comrades will return. Who are you, for whom, my comrade-in-arms when will you come back. Who are you and for whom, my brothers and sisters don't cry. Who is the most beautiful and who is the most tired, my folks, my comrades-in-arms, my brothers and sisters.
