和平的日子里,我们爱沉默。亮相的那一刻,我们是雷霆。虽然不说一句话,却让世界睁大眼睛。因为我们的名字,叫东风,东风。 大漠深山我待命,长天万里我腾空。一声号令风雷动,山河无恙,东风如虹。 强军的旗帜下,我们铸忠诚。砺剑的征途上,我们当先锋。核常兼备随时用,全域慑战威震苍穹。因为我们的名字,叫东风,东风。 大漠深山我待命,长天万里我腾空。一声号令风雷动,山河无恙,东风如虹! 一曲《东风 东风》,以厚重深刻的思想内涵与成熟饱满的艺术表达,于凝练文字与豪迈旋律起伏间,彰显火箭军官兵的赤诚情怀与硬核担当。

Summary

Machine summary

The PLA Rocket Force released an original music video titled 'Dongfeng, Dongfeng,' a produced propaganda piece centered on the DF missile series that explicitly invokes nuclear-conventional integration and 'full-domain deterrence and warfighting' (全域慑战) as core institutional identity markers. The lyrics embed operationally significant doctrinal language—'nuclear and conventional capabilities combined, ready for use at any time'—into a mass-audience format, which documents how the Rocket Force is actively normalizing dual-capability readiness as a public-facing posture rather than treating it as a classified or sensitive framing. This fits the post-2023 Rocket Force reorganization pattern of aggressive institutional rebranding following the leadership purges, using cultural products to reassert the force's cohesion and deterrence credibility to both domestic and external audiences.
