红色是中华民族最喜爱的颜色，甚至成为中国人的文化图腾和精神皈依。中国人近代以来的历史就是一部红色的历史，承载了国人太多红色的记忆。红，是嘉兴南湖的红色航船，是八一南昌的的炮火连天，是井冈山上的星星之火，是雪山草地的赤胆忠心，是新世纪中国人民红红火火的日子，是新世纪中国不断提升的综合国力。为了不该忘却的“中国红”，我们应怀念，当铭记，须发扬光大，中国红歌会创意的背景就在于此。本书图文并茂地介绍了“中国红”。本书为英文版。

  Irrespective of generation or gender, the Chinese are particularly fond of red. This feeling will last forever, given that people's love for what is good, beautiful and joyous is something everlasting.
