Kangding Qingge
"Kangding Qingge", or "Kangding Love Song", is a traditional folk song of Kangding, Sichuan Province. The song is one of the most popular songs across the Sinosphere.
History
In 1946, while studying vocal music in Sikang Province, the Quanzhou native Wu Wen-ji had collected the song Paoma Liuliude Shanshang (On the Running Horse Mountain) amongst other local folk songs. While teaching at a Kuomintang military academy, Wu scored and renamed the song as Kangding Love Song, after the capital of the Sikang Province. The song was then spread to the rest of China after being performed by then popular Soprano Yu Yixuan. The song has been performed or covered by many famous artists around the world, including Placido Domingo, Timi Zhuo, and A-mei.
