Songs about Chongqing people: The song "I am a Chongqing person" was written, composed and sung by Xu Denghui. It was included in Xu Denghui's 2016 personal album "Ten Years". The lyrics are as follows:
Look at the mountains in my hometown and take a walk on the road to my hometown.
My family lives on the bank of Wujiang River.
People in the mountains are very diligent, and the people in the mountains are very serious.
What people in the mountains love to say is that friendship is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
The beautiful Fairy Mountain, the rushing water of the Yangtze River.
The smiles of relatives in my hometown are intoxicating.
People in the mountains are very diligent, and the people in the mountains are very serious.
What people in the mountains love to do most is that friendship is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
Ah, Chongqing, the mountain that gave birth to me and raised me, I want to repay your kindness in raising me.
No matter where I was born, I look back in the direction of home.
I have been wandering and sleeping in the open air for many years.
I am proud to say,
I am from Chongqing.
Ah, Chongqing, the mountain that gave birth to me and raised me, I want to repay your kindness in raising me.
No matter where I was born, I look back in the direction of home.
I have been wandering and sleeping in the open air for many years.
I am proud to say,
I am from Chongqing.
Look at the mountains in my hometown and take a walk on the road to my hometown.
My family lives on the bank of Wujiang River.
People in the mountains are very diligent, and the people in the mountains are very serious.
What people in the mountains love to say is that friendship is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
Ah, Chongqing, the mountain that gave birth to me and raised me, I want to repay your kindness in raising me.
No matter where I was born, I look back in the direction of home.
I have been wandering and sleeping in the open air for many years.
I am proud to say,
I am from Chongqing.
Ah, Chongqing, the mountain that gave birth to me and raised me, I want to repay your kindness in raising me.
No matter where I was born, I look back in the direction of home.
I have been wandering and sleeping in the open air for many years.
I am proud to say,
I am from Chongqing.
I am proud to say,
I am from Chongqing.
Extended information:
Young singer Xu Denghui studied everywhere after graduating from high school. In 2005, he came to Beijing to start his singing career, living in a foreign land for a long time. It touches my longing and love for my hometown and relatives more and more. After wandering for ten years, I wrote the song "I am a Chongqing native", which affectionately expresses the infinite love for Chongqing as a foreigner and how proud I am of being a Chongqing native.
Chongqing was still quite poor in the 1980s and 1990s, so some people left their hometowns to survive. These wanderers in foreign lands have created their own world by carrying forward the spirit of Chongqing people who are not afraid of hardship and dare to take on responsibilities. The song "I am a Chongqing native" uses simple, unpretentious lyrics and a slightly sad melody to express the feelings of every foreigner in Chongqing.
