Random Details: Chinese New Year Songs

Details:

In one of Sylus' in-game text messages, the two discussed adding songs to a New Year's playlist (top) and Sylus sent the protagonist links to three of these songs. I've included a screenshot from both the English version of the game (bottom left) as well as the Chinese version (bottom right).

The artists for the songs weren't specified in their conversation. But based on the Chinese song titles, I think these are all irl Chinese New Year's songs! And imagining Sylus singing these for us is a fun bonus lol.

Disclaimer: My Chinese is pretty rusty, so I could be wrong 😅 So, if I am way off target here, pls lmk!

Song Details:

CHN: 好运四面八方来/"Good Luck Comes From All Directions"

ENG: "Luck Is Everywhere"

This is an irl song by Li Peiqi.

CHN: 恭喜我发财/"May You Be Prosperous"

ENG: "I'm Rich"

This song seems to be a reference to "May You Be Prosperous" by Andy Lau. I've included a link below to an article about the song that includes the music video (highly recommend 💃) and the lyrics in both pinyin and English!

CHN: 难忘今夜/"Unforgettable Night"

ENG: "Unforgettable Night

I think this one is a reference to 难忘今宵/"Unforgettable Night", an irl song by Qiao Yu and Wang Ming.

In Hoxha’s criticism of people’s war the rightist essence of his “leftism” begins to come into sharper focus. One would like to ask Hoxha, what course should the Chinese Revolution have taken following the defeat of the 1924-27 Revolution–when the counterrevolution triumphed in the cities and the communists were being massacred? Apparently it was all right to form base areas in the countryside as long as it was not being done “without perspective”–which we can only take to mean the perspective of a quick victory (a few years)–over the forces of reaction. This line was, in fact, the line of Wang Ming, who ordered the Red Army to go on a continual offensive, preached that the enemy was disintegrating, and predicted a quick victory. The results of this policy was a giant setback for the Chinese Revolution, the loss of all the base areas in southern China and the necessity to embark on the Long March.
