This catchy children’s song was written by Zhao Yingjun--and it is now a hit. It has become a very popular children’s song since it was sung by a lovely father(Jia Nai Liang) and daughter(Jia Yunxin), and is now often sung and loved by many children across China. The upbeat rhythm and cheerful lyrics make people unconsciously tap their feet and follow along to the singing. It’s a great song for Chinese Beginner language learners, or kids who are learning to speak Mandarin. Trust me, once you hear it, you will be singing along right away!
