There is a story behind tokyo tower that has lit up the Chinese red "hope" three times

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve in 2019, for the first time in the history of Japan's Tokyo Tower, the blessings of Sino-Japanese friendship were conveyed in the festive "Chinese red" color. On the night of February 11 Chinese New Year's Eve this year, the Tokyo Tower lit up Chinese red for three times. Meanwhile, for the first time in its 63-year history, the landmark has rolled out two Chinese characters— "Hope." At the same time, the MV "Hope", which is condensed from the three works of "North Wind Blowing", "Early Spring Fu" and "Ode to Joy", was broadcast simultaneously. Kong Xuanyou, Chinese ambassador to Japan, said: "I believe that there is no winter that cannot pass, and mankind will eventually completely defeat the epidemic. It is hoped that the light of Tokyo Tower today will bring more confidence and strength to the people of China and Japan who have been holding out for a long time. ”

Music producer Ma Jiuyue said that "Hope" brings together three musical works of "North Wind Blowing", "Early Spring Fu" and "Ode to Joy", "the music of "White Haired Girl", which is a symbol of Sino-Japanese friendship, highlights the taste of the year, while the nursery rhyme "Early Spring Fu" sung by Japanese children sings the hope in people's hearts." 2020 marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of Le St. Beethoven, and we have turned Ode to Joy into a spiritual force that expresses the faith and determination of people around the world to defeat the epidemic together. ”
