For the first upload of the 2021, I want to bring you a positive song. This video is for Hacken Lee's 紅日 ("Red Sun") which he wrote the lyrics himself. It is a great motivational song and a Hong Kong's classic.
Release in 1992. Music is by Japanese composer Toshiyuki Tachikawa (立川俊之)
All video animations, lyrics translation, Yale romanization, and the overall presentation were done by me. Static background image was obtained from Google Images search on public domain website.
This is one of my music videos so be sure to check out my other videos and subscribe to be informed of future updates.
Please leave your comments, suggestions, or any requests you may have. Thank you!

红日 was the very first modern Cantonese songs I heard in my late teen years and I love the upbeatedness of this song. Alongside Aaron Kwok's 愛的呼喚 , it was one of the few songs I enjoy waking up to.

Sorry if I woke you again. That Aaron's song (video) is my personal #1.

I was in third grade when I first found this song pretty much randomly. I heard it so many times that I could pretty much sing along to it! And I don’t even speak Cantonese! I can’t believe I came across it again after all these years! It’s a really great song. Thanks!
