The place where the peach blossoms bloom is included in the album of the same name, The Place where the peach blossoms bloom, released by 1980. This is a song sung by Dong, written by Wu Dawei and Wei, and composed by Tie Yuan. "Where Peach Blossoms Bloom" won the first prize of "Youth's Favorite Songs" in China on 1987, and was listed on CCTV twice.
The lyrics were composed by Tieyuan, and the original melody was a little Teresa Teng's style. Wu Dawei once praised him for "emancipating the mind", but later Tie Yuan overthrew his own creation and felt that he lacked masculinity and was not suitable for singing as a soldier. Tieyuan began to want to change the tune into the style of Mongolian folk songs. Later, Tieyuan thought there were peach blossoms in Dalian, his hometown, so he added Liaodong tunes to the song and finalized it.
Lyrics of the song "Where Peach Blossoms Bloom"
Where peach blossoms bloom.
There is my lovely hometown.
Peach trees are reflected in the clear water.
Taolin is surrounded by beautiful villages.
Ah! Hometown! Where I was born and raised.
No matter where I stand guard.
Miss you affectionately forever.
Where peach blossoms bloom.
That's my charming hometown.
Children's laughter rippled in the peach garden.
The peach blossom reflects the girl's face.
Ah! Hometown! A place you will never forget.
For your better scenery.
I want to be stationed in the snowy frontier.
Ah! Hometown! A place you will never forget.
For your better scenery.
I want to be stationed in the snowy frontier.
