My favorite song is named 稻香 (the smile of rice). This is a Chinese song, and the singer is Jay Chou. The words in this song are telling people to love our own life and try our best to enjoy our life. We only have one change to live in this world. When our lives are done, everything is over. In the first year I have been in this country, I felt I have fallen dawn to the deepest point in my life. Luckily, people around me helped me up to move forward. Now two years pasted, and I learn a lot from my new life here. When the first time I heard this song, I fell in love with it. The spirit in this song is the spirit I need to move forward in my life.

You can listen the song from here:

The words of this song:
对这个世界如果你有太多的抱怨
If you have too many complains about this world
跌倒了 就不敢继续往前走
Once you fall down, you will lose your courage to go forward
为什么 人要这么的脆弱堕落
Why, people are always easy to be beaten
请你打开电视看看
Please turn on the TV and have a look at it
多少人为生命在努力 勇敢的走下去
There are lots of people are trying their best to move forward courageously for their lives
我们是不是该知足
We should be content with what we have now
珍惜一切就算没有拥有
We should treasure everything we own, even though we got nothing

还记得你说家是唯一的城堡
Still remember you have said that the home is your only castle
随着稻香河流继续奔跑
To follow the smell of rice and keep running with the river
微微笑小时候的梦我知道
Let’s have a smile; I knew the dream you had in your childhood
不要哭让萤火虫带著你逃跑
Don’t cry, let the fireflies carry you to run away
乡间的歌谣永远的依靠
The songs from countryside are the best dependence for you forever
回家吧回到最初的美好
Come back to home; come back to the wonderful you had at the beginning

不要这么容易就想放弃 就像我说的
Don’t give up so easily, just like I have said
追不到的梦想 换个梦不就得了
If you can’t catch the dream you want to, just change it
为自己的人生鲜艳上色
You should color you life with the most colorful paint
先把爱涂上喜欢的颜色
And first of all, to paint the “love” with your favorite color
笑一个吧 功成名就不是目的
Have a smile, to be successful is not the final goal of your life
让自己快乐快乐 这才叫做意义
The most meaningful thing you need to do is to let yourself have happiness
童年的纸飞机 现在终于飞回我手里
The paper airplane from childhood, now, it’s back to my hands

所谓的那快乐
Happiness is said that
赤脚在田里追蜻蜓追到累了
To pursue the dragonflies barefoot in the fields until you are tired
偷摘水果被蜜蜂给叮到怕了
To steal the fruit in the fruit field until you are afeard of be bitten by the bees
谁在偷笑呢
Who is tittering?
我靠着稻草人吹着风
I sit with the scarecrow and enjoy the wing coming to me
唱着歌睡着了
And I fell sleep while I am singing
哦哦~
Woo …午后吉它在虫鸣中更清脆
In the afternoon, the sounds of guitar become clearer when it’s with the sounds of insects
哦哦~
Woo…
阳光洒在路上就不怕心碎
With the sunshine sprinkle on the road, you can’t be afeard of your heart be broken any more
珍惜一切就算没有拥有
We should treasure everything we own, even though we got nothing

还记得你说家是唯一的城堡
Still remember you have said that the home is your only castle
随着稻香河流继续奔跑
To follow the smell of rice and keep running with the river
