By the way, the color combination I mentioned above is very often preferred by countries. The main reason for this is that the yellow represents the gold and the red represents the struggle for the won lands.
Although these are the main reasons in a general line, of course, each flag has a different story. Let's examine this story together.
Another common point of the flags in this color is that the countries that have adopted the communist regime or have adopted it in the past are in the majority.

China
The flag of the People's Republic of China, also known as the Five-Star Red Flag, consists of five golden yellow stars on a red background. There is a large star and four small stars in the form of an arc towards it.

The red represents the Chinese Communist Revolution, while the five stars and their relationship with each other represent the unity of the Chinese people under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
FYR Macedonia
The flag of North Macedonia represents a stylized yellow sun on a red background and eight rays expanding from the center to the edge. The flag was designed by Miroslav Grčev and adopted on October 5, 1995.
The eight-rayed sun represents the "new sun of freedom" mentioned in the song "Denes nad Makedonija" ("Today over Macedonia"), the national anthem of North Macedonia. The design and use of the flag has been the subject of various debates and changes throughout history.
In particular, the symbol of the Sun of Vergina, used in previous designs of the flag, caused a conflict between Greece and North Macedonia. This dispute resulted in North Macedonia changing its flag to its current design.
Kyrgyzstan
The flag of Kyrgyzistan shows a yellow sun on a red background, representing the inside view of the roof of a yurt (traditional nomadic tent). This design represents the first thing seen when waking up in a dorm. The flag was adopted in 1992, seven months after the country's independence was declared. The red color is inspired by the flag raised by the country's folk hero Manas.
