My Chinese heart

Singing: Zhang Mingmin

Lyrics: James J.S. Wang

Music: Wang Fuling

Rivers and mountains are only in dreams, and the motherland has not been close for many years.

But it can't be changed anyway, my China heart.

Although I am wearing a skirt, my heart is still China's.

My ancestors put a Chinese seal on everything I have.

The Yangtze River, the Great Wall, Huangshan Mountain and Yellow River weigh a thousand pounds in my heart.

Whenever and wherever, I feel the same in my heart.

The blood flowing in my heart is surging with the voice of China.

Even if I was born in a foreign country, it won't change my China heart.

Extended data creation background:

1980, Deng Xiaoping and Margaret Thatcher started talks. In this context, the boss of Zhang Mingmin Records Company thinks this is a very good opportunity to start planning an album for Zhang Mingmin. Deng Bingheng found Hong Kong songwriter James J.S.Wong and asked him to write a national anthem. James J.S.Wong offered the same price as Cantonese songs, and Deng Bingheng agreed.

When David Henry Hwang wrote "My China Heart", the lyrics were written quickly. Because my heart was full of feelings, I passed it without any modification, and then Wang Fuling composed the music. After the work was completed, Zhang Mingmin sang it.
