"I started writing on June 21st and the final deadline was July 5th." Fu Gengchen placed 22 manuscripts of the song "Chinese Dream" in front of reporters and counted the scores in detail The story inside.

“Praising the Chinese Dream is my ‘military order’ in front of the people of the whole country.” Fu Gengchen said.

He said: "After 78 years of life and 65 years of artistic career, it is my duty to compose music for the people."

"The Chinese dream I understand is that the country is prosperous, the people are happy, and the people live a good life." He said, "China's modern history is a history of humiliation and struggle. I set the tone of the song to be lyrical and deep, but Merely being deep is not enough, there is also the rhythm of a march behind it, which is inspiring and uplifting." From June 21st to 28th, after a week of repeated meditation, Fu Gengchen settled on the tune.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. Fu Gengchen had a lot of trouble figuring out how to start the lyrics of this song.

The five thousand years of Chinese history contain both suffering and glory. The Chinese Dream mainly refers to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Therefore, "in the years" is more appropriate than "five thousand years". The manuscript began with "How much suffering, how much wind and rain" and later changed to "How much wind and rain, how much suffering". Fu Gengchen believed that this expression was "more fluent". From the trajectory of a word's change, we can see Fu Gengchen's deep learning. Sometimes for a word or a melody, Fu Gengchen would often get up in the middle of the night and write down the sudden inspiration. The translator Yan Fu once said a famous saying, "It takes ten months to hesitate to establish a name." The 78-year-old Fu Gengchen is also so rigorous in the elaboration of lyrics and music. Wang Lida, the singer of the song

, said that she was very excited when she heard the music in the recording studio. The song builds upon layers of emotions. Fu Gengchen warned her that she must sing a belief in the first part, "How much wind and rain, how much suffering" and the hardships of the Chinese nation in modern times; when singing "the people's dream, the great dream" later, she must have Powerful, full of affection, sing out the connotation of the Chinese Dream.
