Beautiful Grassland Is My Home - Gong Yue

My friend Vincent who lives in Hong Kong, introduced me to this singer's video a couple of years ago. The song is a Chinese folk song called Beautiful Grassland Is My Home. I am a huge fan of Asian music and when I saw this video, heard Gong Yue's sweet and beautiful voice accompanied by the traditional Asian instruments, I just fell in love. I obviously do not understand the words however it doesn't matter. The music, voice and video tell the story. I wanted to share it with you and get your thoughts. Enjoy!

You're right, Jo. I don't understand a word either, but the music, the video, and the voice are just amazing!

I love the sound and she does have a beautiful voice. There are a lot of new songs out these days, and even though they are singing in english I can't understand the words in them either.

I enjoyed the music and the nature images, and I like how she stands in a "beautiful grassland" while singing.

Very nice! Don't know if it's the same singer, but this is one of my favs. I have listened to it quite a few times, which is really unusual for me.

There was once a music idol in Hong Kong named Teresa Teng . Her music is timeless!
Just so sad that she died so early. Her voice is so pleasant.

Mrs. M, You know I've heard of her. I had a friend that used to go to Hong Kong specifically to see her. Thank you.
