History

Composed in 1983 within 20 minutes by Qin Yongcheng[7], this song didn't receive its lyrics until 1984, a delay of over half a year until the lyricist Zhang Li went on a trip to Zhangjiajie.[8] The natural beauty of the land struck the Zhang, providing the inspiration needed, whereupon he completed the lyrics for the song. [9] Based on mountains and rivers, lakes and seas, and one's love to the motherland, this song expresses the natural beauty of China, epitomizing one's relationship with their motherland. [10]

Li Guyi was chosen to sing the debut of this song in 1984, and performed this song all over China.[11] This song was an instant hit, and was added to the music curriculum for vocal students in China.[12] This song remains popular to this very day, and has been frequently performed in China and internationally.[13]
