Jiejue (解决 Solution), also featuring the English name Solution on the album cover, is a 1991 Mandarin rock album by Cui Jian. It was his second commercially available album after Rock 'n' Roll on the New Long March (1989), and he was able to have it released in China after adapting some of the lyrics.[1][2][3]

It features "A Piece of Red Cloth", which Cui always blindfolded with a piece of red cloth when performing this song. The lyrics express Cui's dissatisfaction with being controlled by the country, but he will not leave or escape because he knows "how much pain the country has suffered".[4]
