The music bit was really touching, I don't know what I was singing, but I cried too. 8.15 Japan Surrender Day, the blood of our forefathers, in exchange for peace is not easy, there are still many parts of the world that are at war, while we listen to the music and enjoy the peace in the lunchtime.

The song you heard is a Yi ethnic song, and the name of the song is' Ah Lao ',Chinese name:阿嫫,means mother in the Yi language The lyrics are as follows: I have crossed turbulent rivers, Crossing towering mountains, My footprints cover all directions. I am incredibly strong, because there is a soaring eagle in my heart; I am extremely fragile, and when I look up at the moon in a foreign land, I also shed tears. There is an ancient saying that goes, 'A virtuous mother is open-minded, while a mediocre mother is restrained.'. Even though he still wanders the world, his son dare not forget the teachings of his ancestors for a moment. Oh, Mom, how dare I make you sad and worried because of me; Oh, Mom, I just want you to be happy because of me. Oh, Mom, how dare I make you sad and worried because of me; Oh, Mom, I just want you to be happy and joyful because of me

You remind me of another vlogger, Amy. Once, she was sitting by the roadside on a hot day, and an elderly lady on the other side of the street waved her over to have some water. She found it incredible that such kindness could be shown to a complete stranger. According to her, this was one of the key moments that led to her decision to stay in China.

If you have already gone back, I hope you will come back to play more next time. Yunnan is a special feature. China is vast and rich in resources. All provinces in different directions have unique characteristics. People are very curious and fascinated. If you ask some students what their dreams are, they may answer that as many people travel around China as around the world, haha. Of course, I didn't give you the nickname "Consumption Fairy" (a person who is very good at consumption and travel) because of Bilibili. You seem to be very suitable for traveling in China.

You must try mushroom hotpot in Yunnan. It’s the mushroom season there. There are dozens of kinds of mushrooms in Yunnan. The poisonous kind is called Jianshouqing见手青, although it’s totally harmless if it’s cooked appropriately.

About the song , I simply translated it: "I've crossed turbulent river, climbed the mountain reach to the sky. My footprints have spread all over the world. I'm incredibly strong cause there's a soaring eagle in my heart. I'm extremely vulnerable. Tears rolling down when I staring at moon in alien land. As the ancient saying goes,"The mother of a virtuous son is open-minded, while the mother of a mediocre son is reserved." (Writing in classical Chinese so a little hard to understand.Maybe means a mother will never dislike her son.) His son never forget the teachings of his ancesters for a moment when he roaming the world. Oh, mom, how dare I make you sad and worried ? Oh, Mom, I just want you to be happy. Oh, mom, how dare I make you sad and worried ? Oh, Mom, I just want you to be happy." The song of mother and homeland always touch people's soul directly. By the way, this song is not sing in Mandarin but in Yi's dialect. The song's name "AH MOL" means mother.
