Lyrics: Little Swallow, it's beautiful. We all love you, except pests and crops. You work hard for a bumper harvest. Eliminate pests, protect crops, and strive for a bumper harvest. Swallow, it's beautiful. We all love you.
The lyricist of this nursery rhyme, Wang Lu 1955, works in Huangshi, Hubei. At that time, Wang Lu was deeply impressed by the beautiful scenery of Huangshi and the scene of socialist construction in full swing. The Little Swallow was first published in June 1956, the June issue of Changjiang Literature and Art. Mr. Hou and Beijing musicians adapted it into an episode of the movie Diary of a Nurse. This children's song has been sung all over China since it was sung by the famous film actor Wang, and it has been enduring ever since.
