Have you heard about Da Zhan Hong Tu and Ba Fang Lai Cai? One means "to achieve great success," the other simply means—get rich.

These two songs have become super popular BGM on Chinese Douyin, and are blowing up on TikTok as well. In today’s world, artists are mixing cultures like never before—East and West, traditional and modern. The results are often surprising.

So don't underestimate a goofy little song. It may not be elegant, but it crossed oceans, made people smile, and sparked connection—sometimes with nothing but a beat, a lyric, or a funny misheard title.
