Hán Hóng was born Yangchen Drolma on 26 September 1971 in Tibet. Her mother, Yongxi, was a well-known Tibetan singer, and her Chinese father, Han Baolai, was an actor in a song and dance troupe. Han was choir singing from the age of 5. Her father died when Han was 6, and her mother found it hard to take care of her because of her own career commitments. So at the age of 9, Han was sent to Beijing to live with her grandmother and uncle. She joined the children's choir in 1980, and received formal training. In 1987, she entered the performance team of the People's Liberation Army. Her uncle was particularly supportive of her singing. In 1995, she was admitted to Li Shuangjiang, a music department of the PLA's Academy of Art. Han was soon winning singing awards as well as writing songs – often for others to sing.

On September 16th, 1998, Han Hong’s first solo album, Snowy Rays, was launched. In 1999, she adopted a boy named "Han Houhou". Awards and musical invitations continued to pour in. In April 2000, Han attended the world leaders' summit held in Hawaii, USA, and funded the leadership of delegations from the education foundation for children's health in Tibet. In 2005, Han released her momentous 5th album "Touched" but it was also the year that her dear grandmother passed away. In 2008, she performed at the Beijing Olympics Closing Ceremony, and at the Summer Paralympics opening ceremony. On May 12, 2015, she formally announced her farewell to the troops and her sadness at leaving the troops. She has now established her own record label to train and help singers. The list of charities that she has started or supported is phenomenal. Han Hong is both a wonderful singer and a wonderful human being.

Lyrics
是谁带来远古的呼唤　是谁留下千年的期盼
难道说还有无言的歌　还是那久久不能忘怀的眷恋

噢 我看见一座座山　一座座山川
一座座山川　相连
呀拉索　那可是青藏高原？

是谁日夜遥望着蓝天　是谁渴望永久的梦幻
难道说还有赞美的歌　还是那仿佛不能改变的庄严

噢　我看见一座座山　一座座山川
一座座山川　相连
呀拉索　那就是青藏高原
呀拉索　那就是青藏高……原

Translation
Who brought the call of the ancients
who left the longing for a thousand years
Could it be said that there is still a silent song or that long unforgettable love

Oh I see a mountain 　 mountain river
Mountains and rivers are connected
Ya Lasuo　 Is that the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau?

Who is looking at the blue sky day and night 　
who is longing for eternal dreams
Could it be that there is a song of praise, or the solemnity that seems unchangeable

Oh 　 I see a mountain 　 mountain river
Mountains and rivers are connected
Ya La Suo, that is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
Ya Lasuo　That is Qingzang Gao...original
