"New World" (Chinese: 新的天地) is a song about the leadership of General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party Xi Jinping, composed by Sun Nan and written by Wen Yi. The song was released on October 1, 2017 and is the theme song of the China Central Television documentary Glorious China, sung by Sun Nan.
The song aims to praise the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Central Committee with General Secretary Xi Jinping as the leadership core since the 18th CCP National Congress and China's great power style.
Creation
In 2017, China Central Television planned to shoot a documentary called Glorious China to record the changes in Chinese society since the 18th CCP National Congress. After the film was completed, the director approached composer Sun Nan, hoping to convey the confidence of the Chinese people through the documentary. After Sun Nan took on the task, he went to Shenzhen and Shanghai for field research and contacted singer Sun Nan, with whom he had worked for many years, to sing the song. Sun Nan also deliberately chose a popular singing style to fit the people, and used a "silent and subtle way of expression" to describe the changes in Chinese society. Two months later, he provided the director with two different versions of the song for selection. At first, the crew was more satisfied with the first version, but after Sun Nan re-recorded it, the director chose the second version as the theme song.[1][2] On October 1, 2017, New World was released as a single.[3]
Performance occasions
The song has been sung on many occasions, including the Chinese Communist Party's anniversary and the National Day of the People's Republic of China. In addition, many contestants in vocal competitions have chosen to sing New World.[2]
