The song was written by Mao Amin's late mother. In May 2004, Mao Amin's mother passed away, and she missed her mom, but didn't have a suitable song to express her feelings. So she approached her friends Wang Bei and Chen Tao and asked them to write a song for her. After a few months of pondering, the two finally created the song "The Greatness of Heaven" for Mao Amin.
Mao Amin took to the stage of the 2009 Spring Festival Gala with the song The Greatness of Heaven. Her heartfelt rendition of her full love for her mother touched countless people and made the song a classic, sung by everyone. It also found a better way for more people to express their love for their moms.
There are many songs that celebrate mothers and their love. But compared with other songs that express mother's love in a straightforward way, this song has a melodious tune and lyrics that have the meaning of a prose poem, expressing never-ending love in a limited number of dozens of words.
This song is sung in a thousand different moods, expressing the longing for mom in a long and endless way. Like a fine wine, it will turn into tears of longing when it enters the heart of sorrow.
"The Greatness of Heaven"

Lyrics:
Mother Under the moonlight, quietly I miss you.
Silently flowing in the blood of attachment, mom your embrace.
The swaddling clothes of my life's love, the smell of your tanned clothes.
Mom under the moon, with you I have a home.
Though half a step away is the end of the world, why should I think of you with tearful eyes.
Love is longer than days, happiness is born in a heart that aches.
The sky is the limit, only your love is flawless.
The sky's the limit, remember you pass on the message with your heart.
The sky's the limit, only your love I gave to him.
Make him smile like his mom.
