"Hey, Jude" is a song written by Paul McCartney for a five-year-old child. This boy is called Julian, the son of John Lennon and his ex-wife Cynthia. In the summer of 1968, John Lennon began living with Yoko Ono, and his marriage to his ex-wife Cynthia was on the verge of collapse. Paul has always loved John Lennon's son Julian very much. He is worried that the marriage change between adults will bring a psychological shadow to a child. Paul McCartney uses this song to encourage Julian to face reality bravely. In the summer of 1968, Paul wrote the song "Hey Jude" for Julian in the car, but Julian did not know it at the time. It was not until twenty years later that Julian understood that this song was written for himself.

"Hey Jude" can easily break the barrier between British and American cultures with its simple and popular lyrics and rich connotation, and at the same time arouse very different imaginations between the two cultures. This song written for children embodies hope and shows endless humanistic care.

This ballad that inspired the Czech Republic is known as another national anthem that sings the spirit of independence and resistance. Since 1986, the singing of "Hey Jude" has spread all over the world, resounding inside and outside the iron curtain, behind and on the front. "Hey, Jude" turned out to be destined to be entangled with 1968, causing a generation of nostalgia.
