1. Singing of the Two Little Cowherds
Singing of the Two Little Cowherds is an anti-war song written in the 1940s with lyrics by Fang Bing and music by Li Jiefu.
Lyrics:
The cows are still grazing on the hillside, but the cowherd is nowhere to be found.
It's not that he lost the oxen in his playfulness, the ox-herding boy, Wang Erxiao.
The morning of September 16th, the enemy swept into a ravine,
The ravine covered the rear organs, covering thousands of old folks.
At that critical moment, the enemy was about to reach the mountain pass,
and, dazed and disoriented, grabbed Er Xiao and asked him to lead the way.
He obediently went ahead and led the enemy into our ambush circle,
The enemy realized that they had been deceived when the guns were banging in all directions.
The enemy picked Erxiao on the tip of his gun and fell to his death on top of a boulder.
Our thirteen-year-old Wang Erxiao died heroically in the mountains.
The cadres and the townsfolk got safe, but he slept in the cold mountains,
His face contained a smile, and his blood stained the blue-blue sky.
The autumn wind blew all over the village, it spread this moving story,
Every old townsman sang about the two little cowherds with tears in their eyes.

The young pioneers all know that it was Chairman Mao and the ****production party.
Bathing in the warm sunshine, breathing in the fragrance of hundreds of flowers.
How happy we are, with white doves flying overhead.
Who gave me a golden childhood, who nurtured our growth.
The young pioneers all know that it was Chairman Mao and the ****production party.
Let us grow up quickly, to be the pillars of that country.
Build the ****productivist edifice and contribute our strength.
Who gave me a golden childhood, let nurture our growth.
The young pioneers all know that it is Chairman Mao and the ****anufacturing party.

Lyrics:
Let's swing our oars, the little boat pushes away the waves.
The sea reflects the beautiful white tower, surrounded by green trees and red walls.
The boat floated gently in the water, and a cool wind blew in its direction.
The red scarf greeted the sun, and the sunlight poured over the sea.
The fish in the water looked at us and listened quietly to our pleasant singing.
The boat floated gently in the water, and a cool wind blew in our direction.
After doing our homework for the day, we came to have fun.
I ask you dear companion, who set us up for a happy life.
The boat floated gently in the water, and a cool breeze blew in our direction.

Lyrics:
Our fields, beautiful fields,
The turquoise river flows through the boundless rice fields.
The boundless rice fields seem like an undulating sea.
The calm lake, full of lotus flowers,
Golden carp, how fat they grow.
The reeds around the lake hide flocks of wild ducks.
The wind blew through the forest with a thunderous roar,
The lumberjacks, invited out a great tree.
To build buildings, to build mines and factories.
Behind the forest, there were light blue mountains,
and in those mountains, there were wild deer and mountain goats.
People were surveying how much treasure was buried there.
High in the sky, eagles were flying,
as if they were guarding the vast and beautiful land.
A little while in the grassland, a little while to the forest to fly.
