    Hello! I love China, Korea, and Japan! :slight_smile: Anyway, in the Chinese classes that I attended for some time, I learned to sing a traditional, famous Chinese song and its called Mo Li Hua (this is not pinyin, sorry :grin: ) or Jasmine flower. I think its a really beautiful song and all of my Chinese teachers agree :slight_smile: Its a girl singing about the beauty of Mo Li Hua, about wanting to pick it but being afraid of getting scolded and being afraid that it won't grow again the coming year, etc.. :slight_smile: There's a problem however as there are indefinite versions of it, and a few versions may have you dislike the song.. I hope you listen to the calm, traditional, beautiful, and peaceful version! :slight_smile: I hope you like it! Besides that also try Taihu Lake (again with various versions). Wo ai Zhong guo ^-^ (don't know if this is gramatically correct!)
