"Eighteen Bends of the Mountain Road" was originally sung by Li Qiong.
"Eighteen Bends of the Mountain Road" is a song sung by Li Qiong, with lyrics by Tong Wensi and Yin Jianping, and music by Wang Yuanping, and is included in the music album "Eighteen Bends of the Mountain Road".In 2000, the song won the Outstanding Song Award at the 7th Spiritual Civilization Construction Five-Year Project Award. The song was originally called "Son of the Sun", but Yan Su later renamed it "Eighteen Bends of the Mountain Road". The song's lyrics were taken from the poem "Songs and Roads of the Tujia" written by lyricist Tong Wensi in his hometown of Changyang.
In the summer of 1990, Tong Wenshi went to West Hubei to pick up winds, where he enjoyed Tujia folklore performances such as the Pendulum Hand Dance, the Bashan Dance, and the Crying Marriage Song. At that time, when the car was crawling on the mountain road, he was attracted by the scenery of the Qingjiang River and the distant mountains surrounded by clouds, so he created the poem "Songs and Roads of the Tujia". The lyrics of the song were then polished over three years on the basis of that poem.
