There are many stories of a small town
Filled with joy and happiness
If you If you come to the small town
There's a lot to gain

Talking about talking about talking
The story of the small town is really good
Invite your friends to come to
The small town is a good place to be a guest
Talking about talking about talking about talking about talking about talking about talking about talking
The small town is really good.
Small Town Story is great
Invite your friends to come together

Expanded Information
Small Town Story is the movie theme song sung by Teresa Teng for the movie Small Town Story. The song was written by Zhuang Nu and composed by Weng Qingxi. It was included in Teresa Teng's album "Love Songs of the Island, Episode 6 - Small Town Story" released in 1979.
The song became the three-week winner of the Hong Kong Commercial Radio's Chinese Song Contest between April 14 and April 29, 1979.
Composition background:
In 1979, director Li Hsing brought Chung Chun-tao and Lin Feng-jiao to Taiwan's Lugang Sanyi, a town famous for its wood carvings, to shoot the movie "Story of a Small Town", and wanted to have a theme song for the movie, so he found Weng Ching-xi to be in charge of the theme song's soundtrack, and lyricist Zhuang Nu to write the lyrics.
The director's process of choosing a singer for the song did not go smoothly, with some singers giving up because the melody was too simple and flat to sing well. Eventually composer Weng Qingxi recommended Teresa Teng to the director to sing the song, saying that Teresa Teng was the headliner (singer) and could do no wrong. In the end, Teresa was impressed by the composer's sincerity and agreed to sing. Sure enough, Teresa lived up to her high expectations and sang the song, which has a normal tune, with a lot of charm.
