Lyrics:
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.
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.

background
In February, 1983, HKYG invited Zhang Mingmin to record a patriotic song in Mandarin. At that time, Cantonese songs were popular in the Hong Kong music scene, and this song was of a public welfare nature, so it didn't get the favor of big singers and fell into the hands of Zhang Mingmin, who has not yet become famous. When Wang Fuling heard the news, he recommended himself to compose music and appointed James J.S. Wang as the lyricist. David Henry Hwang provided the same remuneration for writing Cantonese songs, and he also took the title of the song;
The lyrics were filled in quickly and few changes were made, but there was little communication with Zhang Mingmin in the process of song production. Years later, James J.S.Wong said that the lyrics were ostensibly about the feelings of overseas Chinese, but in fact they were about himself, because he had left his hometown for decades.
Eternal Records subsequently released an album of the same name, which was its first original album. All along, he just covers Taiwan Province songs, including I'm from China, Chinese Nation and Descendants of the Dragon.
