Lyrics of the song
I love you, China larks flying through the blue sky
I love you China, I love you China
I love you China, I love your vigorous seedlings in spring
I love your golden fruits in autumn, I love your green pines
I love your red plums' character, and I love your sweet sugarcane in your hometown
It seems like I love you China, I love you China
I love you China, I love you China
I want to dedicate the most beautiful song to you
My mother, my motherland, I love you China, I love you China
I love you South China Sea, I love you snowy north
I love you forests, I love you mountains
I love you murmuring streams, I love the green pines
I love the sweet cane in my hometown. I love the murmuring river that flows through my dreams with its clear waves
I love you China, I love you China
I want to dedicate my youth to you
My mother, my motherland
Ah... I want to dedicate my beautiful youth to you
My mother my motherland

Composition background
It's a movie reflecting the sadness and happiness of overseas compatriots. It is a film reflecting the story of overseas compatriots' sorrows and joys. A young woman, Huang Sihua, applies for the army's cultural troupe, and although her singing voice is clear and melodious, her acceptance into the troupe is resisted because she is the daughter of an overseas Chinese.
In 1980, shortly after the spring breeze of reform and opening up blew, the number of Chinese returning to China increased day by day. Against this backdrop, China made a movie, "Red Son Abroad," reflecting the patriotic overseas Chinese's heart for the motherland.
After the "Gang of Four" was crushed, Sihua finally took the stage. After the reorganization, a large number of literary and artistic works reflecting the overseas Chinese in a positive way, such as I Love You, China, broke through the ground.
