 LISTEN TO SHIRLEY SINGING THE SONG
 When I was creating a piece of music for the classical poem Ducks Know the Spring Is Coming, I thought the song Zai Na Taohua Sheng Kai de Difang --In the Place that Peachbloosom Are Blossoming. I have been enjoying this song since I was in the university, but, I did not make sure it is a folk song or an art song. After learned the song Zou Jin Xin Shi De--Walk Into The New TimesI guess it is Art and Folk Song -- a folk song that is sung with art song's way and my teacher agree with me. :-)
The lyric of the song was written by Mr. Wu Dawei and Mr. Gui Baigui. Mr. Tie Yuan created the music. A famous army musician Mr. Jiang Dawei sang it first time and famous folk musician Ms. Peng Liyuan also sang it. Both of them made this song to be popular in China quickly.
MAIN MEANING OF THE SONG:
In the place that peachbloosoms are blossoming,
There is my lovely hometown.
Peach trees are reflected over the clear water,
Peach forest is surrounding the beautiful village.
Ah, ah,
Hometown,
The place that I was born and grown up,
no matter where I am guarding as a sentry
I always yearn towards you deeply.
In the place that peachbloosoms are blossoming,
There is my charming hometown.
Children's laughs are flying in the peach garden,
girls' faces are reflected to be red
by the peachbloomons.
 Ah, Ah,
Hometown,
The place that I will not forget forever,
for making your view is more beautiful,
I will defend the border area in the wind and snow.
Ah, Ah,
Hometown,
For making your view is more beautiful,
I will defend the border area in the wind and snow...
