What song comes to mind when you think of the #SpringFestival? Are there any popular songs commonly sung on the streets?
Answer

When I think of the Spring Festival, the song "恭喜恭喜" (Gōngxǐ Gōngxǐ) immediately comes to mind. This classic tune is a staple of Lunar New Year celebrations, symbolizing good wishes and prosperity.

Its upbeat melody and lyrics about the arrival of spring and the exchange of blessings make it an essential part of the festive season. The song’s cheerful and hopeful tone perfectly captures the spirit of reunion and renewal that defines the Spring Festival for many.

"Gong Xi Gong Xi" is a well-known Chinese New Year song, but not many people know that it was originally written in 1945 to celebrate the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

The lyrics first describe people greeting each other with "Gong Xi" when they meet on the street. The second verse reflects on overcoming hardships, enduring a harsh winter, and embracing the arrival of spring with joy. The song beautifully portrays the enduring, brave, and optimistic spirit of the Chinese people.

In 1965, it was sung by Teresa Teng (Deng Lijun) and became a widely popular New Year song. Now, every time I hear it, I not only feel the joy of the Chinese New Year but also a deep sense of pride in that historic victory.

"Even the Wild Lily Has Its Spring 野百合也有春天" is a classic work by Luo Dayou.
Whenever the melody plays, it takes me back to my youthful days of the past and brings me to the sprouting green spring.
