• " 兄弟，昨晚上我听了那首歌，真的很动听，能让我回忆起小时候的生活，很感人，我很喜欢….谢谢你兄弟，让我找到了小时候的感觉 " Translation - (Brother[Younger], last night I listened to that song, really nice, let me recall my childhood life, very touching, I like it very much ... Thank you brother, it rekindled the feeling of my childhood days)

• “意境很美..就是有部分歌词听不清楚..童声听起来很清澈，很有感觉好的，我让朋友们也听下…听起来很好听…唱的意境很美..发音要在准确的话就比较容易听懂. 你的独白都听的懂..就是小孩子唱的有部分发音不准确，不看歌词的就听不出来            Translation - "Mood is beautiful .. some of the lyrics inaudible .. childish sounds very clear, great feeling. Yes, I let my friends also listen to it ... sounds great ... singing mood is beautiful .. if the pronunciation is accurate then it is easier to understand.. ..the monologue can be understood though…… few pronunciations of the children while singing are not that accurate. If one does not see the lyrics it becomes a bit difficult to interpret just by listening…. "

 

Chen Chao

Youth from Xiamen - China

 

 

 

• “NOT BAD, since the kids didn’t study Chinese and they could sing so sweetly in Chinese. Should praise their capability”

 

James Young

Grandfather, Kolkata- India

 

 

 

• “nice song but some words are not clear maybe they are still learning Chinese..... I know thats the problem they are humbling. U are totally Chinese…. u speak well. I want to point out 想...maybe im too much concentrate in they pronounciation ….they are kids….. and 圓 sound like 言”

 

Jonathan Lee

Youth from Taipei - Taiwan

 

 

 

• “Wonderful..tuneful song. Loved it. The kids are great. Just one thing. The chinese pronunciation by the children can be perfected a bit but otherwise really good.”

 

Charisma Saraff,

Vice Principal of “The School of Chinese Language 副校长 - 中文学校”, Kolkata – India

 

 

 

 

• “well, I just heard it…….it sounds nice……..except few words is incorrect……….yue 月， and yuan 圆”

 

Rong Hua 吕荣华

Youth from Beijing - China

 

 

• "The overall feel of the song is good. The solo part sounds clear but the chorus sounds uneven. The lyrics have been written beautifully and have a sense of nostalgia. The words for chorus singers are not very clear; at times it has mixed voices. Few suggestions ….like the song started with a soloist it could have ended with the soloist. The song would have sounded better had it been sung by one child instead of a group. The song has high & low notes, seems the bar/scale is a bit high. On an all the overall feel is good."

 

Chen Chao & his friends

Youth group, China

 

 

 

• "第一次听觉得有些声音的高低不协调, 有些嘈杂的感觉。不过之后认真听, 也同时体会歌词的意境, 那么就觉得比较完美了, 也带出歌词故事里面的温馨意境。如果合唱部分再完美些更佳。"Translation : The first time when I heard the song it seemed that there was less coordination of sound level, feeling somewhat noisy.However, after carefully listening to the song, and also appreciating the mood of the lyrics, then I felt it to be more perfect. The mood of the song also brought out the warmth of the words and the story inside the lyrics. If the chorus part again can be perfected then it would sound better.

 

Weng Sun,

Youth from Kaula Lumpur - Malausia

 

 

 

• “Every time I listen to your song, it reaffirms my belief that songs help people transcend the boundaries put forth by languages and cultures! I understand not one word of Mandarin, yet it managed to lift my mood and put a smile on face, just hearing the mellifluous voices of the kids! Loved the song, and its going straight into my IPod playlist!”
