Why Are the Flowers So Red(花儿为什么这样红, Hua Er Wei Shen Me Zhe Yang Hong,Folk song,民歌)  was originally an interlude in a popular 1960s spy movie “Visitors on the Icy Mountain”. It was based on an old Tajik dance music. In order to allow the music to reveal a sense of time and space, Composer Lei Zhenbang appropriately slowed down the speed of the original music in the process of adaptation. The music after adaptation has a kind of feeling of distant and vast space.

《花儿为什么这样红》
此歌为作曲家雷振邦于1962年为长春电影制片厂当时拍摄的电影《冰山上的来客》创作，主要参考了一首古老的塔吉克族民间歌曲《古力碧塔》。《古力碧 塔》讲述的是一名为商人赶脚的塔吉克青年，爱上了喀布尔城的一位公
主，但遭到了反对，青年只能顺着古丝绸之路流浪，把优美凄凉的歌声传遍了所有他路经的地 方，最后传回到帕米尔高原他的故乡。
歌词：
花儿为什么这样红，哎红得好象，红得好象燃烧的火？
它象征着纯洁的友谊和爱情。
花儿为什么这样鲜，为什么这样鲜，鲜得使人不忍离去？
它是用青春的血液来浇灌。
