Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Blessings was composed by Zang Yunfei and was officially sung by Cai Guoqing at the 1991 CCTV Lantern Festival. Here are the lyrics of the song:
Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Blessings (Original 1990 Recording)
Singer: Cai Guoqing
Album: Thirty Years of Singing
There are three hundred and sixty-five sunrises in a year, and I'm sending you three hundred and sixty-five blessings
The clock turns fourteen-hundred-and-forty times every day, and my heart hides
One thousand four hundred-and-forty thoughts every day.
The clock turns one thousand four hundred and forty times a day, my heart hides one thousand four hundred and forty thoughts every day, and every day I want to wish you happiness
Every minute I hope you're safe and sound, and auspicious light will always surround you
Like the rising sun rising brilliantly?
There are 365 sunrises in a year
I send you 365 blessings, and the clock makes 1,440 revolutions every day
My heart harbors 1,440 thoughts every day
Every day, I wish you happiness, and every minute, I wish you peace
Age is like a spring that flows silently, and friendship is like the stars that last forever
There is no doubt in my mind that you are the most fortunate person in the world. p>
There are 365 sunrises in a year, and I send you 365 blessings
The clock makes 1,440 revolutions every day, and my heart harbors 1,440 thoughts every day
Every day I wish you joy and happiness
Every minute I hope for you to be at peace and security, and an auspicious light will always surround you
Like the rising sun, it is brilliant, and every day it is a blessing. The song was the first of its kind in China. The song was later remade in a version with backing vocals by the Black Duck Singing Group. The music video was produced by Cai Guoqing himself, supported by CCTV and Beijing Aerospace Si Chuang High Technology Development Center, and directed by Wu Nan. This song is included in the "20th century Chinese singing celebrities hundred collection of collector's edition - Cai Guoqing", "Cai Guoqing Guoqing - song like thirty years".
For Cai, "Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Blessings" has become an indispensable track in his performances since it became a hit. "To be honest, I sometimes think, it's been sung for more than 10 years, isn't it better to draw a conclusion, but the truth is, the audience needs this song too much."
Cai told of a girl named Huang Xiaoyan: "Around 1994, the Tianjin Journalists' Association organized an event to help leukemia children realize their dreams, and one of them, a less-than-10-year-old girl named Huang Xiaoyan from Heze in Shandong province, said that her biggest dream was to meet me and sing 'Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Blessings' with me.
When I heard the news from the organizing committee, I immediately rushed to the Tianjin Children's Hospital, where Huang Xiaoyan's bed was right opposite the door. As soon as I entered the door of the hospital room, she recognized me and stood up with tears of excitement in her eyes. That day, I stayed with her for the whole day, chatting with her, playing games, and singing "Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Blessings".
Three or four months after that event, a reporter said in a return visit to me , "In that condolence, a few children present at that time have passed away, only Huang Xiaoyan every time especially tenacious with the doctor's treatment, she asked the doctor to play the 'Three Hundred and Sixty-five Blessings' to her every time she had chemotherapy."
After a gap of nearly 10 years, Huang Xiaoyan came back to the scene during a visit to CCTV's "World of Love" program, where she tenaciously overcame her illness, which is the power of a song." Cai said, "Compared with popular songs, 'Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Blessings' is simple and unadorned, but it goes into the hearts of the people."
