老杨的话使罗盛教开了窍，于是，他千方百计挤时 间去眼战士们接近。他经常来回奔跑在相距六、七里地分散 剿匪的各班排之间。战士们爱唱《东方红》、《三大纪律八项 注意》等革命歌曲，罗盛教就和他们一起唱。

Luo Shengjiao - Red is the East (Luo Shengjiao - Dongfang hong 罗盛教 - 东方红)

It is not uncommon to find characters in Chinese comic books singing Mao’s praise. In one such comic, seen here, and published in 1973 and named after Korean War model soldier Luo Shengjiao 罗盛教 (1931–52), the soldiers are seen singing two familiar songs under the blazing sun: “Red Is the East” and “The Three Main Rules of Discipline and the Eight Points for Attention.”
