first part of the lyrics was written by a well known philosopher at least 2500 years ago, the second part was written by the greatest poet in Chinese history who lived 1500 year ago. and Christine wrote the third part and made this a perfect song.
Happy Jade Birch The first part is literally the beginning of the song. The second part starts at about 1:47. Her own lyrics are the chorus and the part starting at 3:17. She starts quoting Zhuanzi, the author of the first part, again during the fast part/rap during the bridge, and she finishes the song by quoting Li Bai, the author of the second part (you can see at the end when she starts quoting Li Bai, the Chinese characters turn gold).
We need more talents like her to bridge the gap between two of the greatest countries in the world. I hope we can set political difference aside and march towards a bright future where we can all coexist.
The butterfly proverb was my favorite way to respond to my parents growing up. I"m so glad someone made a song about it. The recursive nature of the philosophical argument of two people not being each other so they can't fully qualify the expertise of a statement. You arent me so how do you know I dont understand you...You arent me so how do YOU know I dont know you dont know that I know you dont know ....
So....... Who is the one who decided to give it a thumbs down..... 🤔..... Jealous....!!!!! Go Christine ... Don't stop...... Keep singing beautiful stuff such as that....... 👍👍👍👍👍

Can't find a proper word to describe how amazing Christine is, just perfect! For people who don't know the context because it's written in Chinese, as an American girl she wrote the lyrics all by herself in which she quoted ancient Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi (even as a Chinese I have to rely on the English version lyrics to understand the exact meaning...), and the Chinese lyrics are written so beautifully that its poetic beauty just fits the melody. She can't get it so perfectly if she doesn't have the deep understanding of the original Zhuangzi. Even more, in this version, she added Rap to the song and the wording in her Rap part is written in ancient Chinese style and that's just awesome, not to mention how perfectly match the ancient Chinese wording is with the rhythm of the Rap! What a talent she is!!! with such a great song!!! Listen over and over again now
THANK YOU!!!! Thank you CGTN for putting in the English subtitles. I plan to show the original video in my Chinese class and was wondering how distracting it would be for me to translate the song bit by bit. Now, the students can understand and enjoy the song so much better!
I heard this song before. but when knew the original singer is a American girl, that shocked me a lot. amazing. amazing tone. amazing worfs. and amazing soul inside. she is better on Chinese than a lot of Chinese. not even on singing. just go. love you 克莉丝汀！
Although everyone knows her song better than she does. But none of these will stop people from loving her song and her person. The Chinese people have accepted her completely，plz continue to work hard. You will become the superstar.
This is the one of the best song in this whole world, it’s a complete art the kind of lyrics and song that makes you instantly fall in love with, relax smooth
Why isn't there a standing ovation for such spectacular performance?! I would certainly be the first to stand especially after the rap and also the performance! Love from Malaysia.
Excellent work Christine. I envy you and realize i have thousands of gongli to go in learning Chinese. And let's not even talk about my singing. Looking forward to hearing more from you.
Thật không biết phải nói gì luôn. Cô ấy quá tuyệt vời và tài giỏi. Cái điển tích Đạo giáo 2500 năm trước nhiều người Trung Quốc còn chưa chắc đã hiểu nổi mà đây một người Mỹ học tiếng Trung lại có thể nghiên cứu và thấm nhuần sâu sắc đến như vậy. Cái cô ấy đang diễn đạt cũng không phải là tiếng Trung hiện đại ngày nay mà là tiếng Trung cổ đại hóc búa vốn luôn là thách thức đối với người nước ngoài.
This song is just as beautiful as the singer! Thank you for appreciating and sharing your understanding of our deep root Chinese culture and literature !
Mandarin can be romantic like French, straight forward like German, and hideous like English. It is like water. But you have to know how to use mandarin.
On the highway, when I heard the climax of the song, I felt like I was in love. When I turned my head and looked at the co pilot, only myself, I suddenly accelerated 200 km / s. I decided to give the song 88 points and the rest to the traffic police 🤔🤔
There are a lot of Westerners that fed up with the crazy none sense American lifestyle. You will be shocked when you see so many Westerner people fluently in a foreign language.
Unbelievable song ..she is very talented and very good singing too..I am touched listening to this song, even though I don't really know meaning(I know there is subtitle, but i was focus on listening only).. poems and the lyrics, that she added to it, are both very beautiful
I love China from Sri Lanka..Such a great nation on earth.. love them.. And respect the few American people who are fair except US regime.. music have no boundaries..

@@happyjadeb--ngochoatg1090 ziran was right the golden lyrics are quotes
@Mohan Sandal so what? racist :)
Wow! And who are these poets!
The poet (Li Bai) would never imagine his poem was sang so beautifully by a foreigner and loved by all after 1000 years.
Christine knows more Chinese classical literature than most of the Chinese. And she can sings...bravo!
Ahhh I'm so jealous. She's so fluent in Chinese. I'm overseas Chinese and luckily there were subtitles... Hahahahaha 😂😂😂
的确，我一个中国人知道的确实没她多，她非常棒
To be honest, almost every Chinese at least heard of庄周梦蝶.
@S. Young hear, hear!
you are damn right,i have to read the english subtitles in order to be able to understand the chinese lyrics. lol
We need more talents like her to bridge the gap between two of the greatest countries in the world. I hope we can set political difference aside and march towards a bright future where we can all coexist.
unfortunely murica regime doesn't want it.
Maybe not so much of Chinese feel animosity toward American but American percepted differently than Chinese are.
The addition of naming enemy will not end soon
I hope mutual cooperation ala 'The Martian' becomes reality and not remain as fiction.

佩服，我無法做到。她能填詞且用典巧妙、搭配中文音韻，還能唱出中文的韻味。
我無法，無論用英文或中文做到這個程度。
讚嘆她的多元天賦(與努力)。
演唱者是熱愛中華文化的美國人克麗絲叮(她已經是中文系博士班)。這麼優秀的作品讓不少受到去中國化教改荼毒的臺灣年輕人感嘆，原來現在臺灣年輕人不但英文不好而且連中文也不好。
I discovered this song today it's 5 am and can't stop replaying it..definitely a piece of ART ♡♡♡♡
Imane starlight me too! Just so beautiful! I replayed that for at least 5 times!
Replying button not working
Wow her Mandarin is perfect even when she's rapping!
Beautiful song and beautiful voice. She knows the classics better than most Chinese nowadays.
Really beautiful! The story is from a 2500 years old Chinese philosopher! Love you great girl to share ancient Chinese culture!

Can i cry?? This song is so beautiful!
I am also very excited and want to cry!! If I listen to this song live, I will burst into tears!!!
The lyrics is out of the world it made me cry

Something deep and meaningful that preforms as a pop song. Good balance of new modern and ancient philosophy, love it. Well done Miss Christine.
Asuch beautiful song based on ancient Chinese philosophy ... Deep understanding of Chinese culture and philosophy
She knows the Chinese culture well, her songs are beautiful, the Chinese like her, wish her happy.
Why isn't there a standing ovation for such spectacular performance?! I would certainly be the first to stand especially after the rap and also the performance! Love from Malaysia.
Been a year searching for this song and finally I found it,Mesmerizing and just Amazing 😻

Her voice suits this song, heard this song before but her version is definitely one of best! Bravo 👏

每天最少聽十遍你的歌曲真的太好聽旋律太美

Listen it 18 times still listening
Hey, I really like the song. And I feel the lyrics when she sang, such a good performance. Bravo 😀👏
Hey Christine. That was. Magnificient.
Maybe a glass of red before d song will truly bring out d Li Bai. Cheers!
Stunning!!! Very well spoken Chinese! At first, I couldn't believe that you're an American singer.
ooooooooooh, my god...........I feel like my heart is melting
真的太好聽了 每天 起床聽到你的歌曲精神百倍好好聽
So good to see her again. Christine you are so so so so talented I really hope to hear more from you. I love your music!!!
love it Christine, very nice and warm, you sang it beautifully, love from the USA
Beautiful voice, perfect Mandarin, I wonder what she will be doing for a living!
Beautiful song.... I luv it #lovefromIndonesia
Edit : Chinese-indonesia.
i think she learn mandarin for years.... and i love this song!!!!!😍😍
Wow, outstanding performance . Awesome vocal and connection with the audience.
I was shocked that she can sing Chinese songs write by herself so fluently though she is not a Chinese👏👏👏
There are a lot of Westerners that fed up with the crazy none sense American lifestyle. You will be shocked when you see so many Westerner people fluently in a foreign language.
And she just start learning Chinese when she is a high school student
2024 17th October 7:50 pm and I'm listening for first time.
Such a beautiful song.
Love & Respect from Nagaland. God Bless!!
Very creative song and beautiful lyrics with well performance
😭 Tears! Such beauty! ❤️
Her voice is so clear 😍😍
Chinese language culture traditional is very beautiful ❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
This is so beautiful.
Thanks, CGTN, love from Brasil.
wonderful voice and lyrics !
What beautiful lyrics. 😍 So meaningful.
Wow she is really great I love China and Chinese ppl I wish that some day I will visit it😍😍
Omg this version has many interesting ideologies. Only if the melody praised her voice more, I would listen to this day and night
Beautiful melody..
크리스틴 정말 대단하다. 노래 잘하고 발음 좋은 건 물론이고 이 노래를 개사하면서 가사에다가 중국 고전 글귀들을 집어넣다니...👍
As a chinese I feel so ashamed that my knowledge and understanding of chinese classic literature is nothing compare to Christine.
为什么要惭愧？术业有专攻，有外国友人喜欢你的文化，并愿意付出精力去研究它，比大多数中国人好这不是应该的吗。事事都要惭愧好累的
我好感動，妳唱得太好了

克里斯叮唱歌时的状态，犹如陷入古代神秘哲学中，带有宗教信仰般坚持和淡定，跟歌曲本身的内涵高度一致。直达人心，同频共奏。
