China, officially the People's Republic of China (PRC), is a sovereign state in East Asia. It is the world's most populous country, with a population of over 1.35 billion. The PRC is a one-party state governed by the Communist Party, with its seat of government in the capital city of Beijing. It exercises jurisdiction over 22 provinces; five autonomous regions; four direct-controlled municipalities (Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Chongqing); two mostly self-governing special administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macau); and claims sovereignty over Taiwan.
Covering approximately 9.6 million square kilometers, China is the world's second-largest country by land area, and either the third or fourth-largest by total area, depending on the method of measurement. China's landscape is vast and diverse, ranging from forest steppes and the Gobi and Taklamakan deserts in the arid north to subtropical forests in the wetter south. The Himalaya, Karakoram, Pamir and Tian Shan mountain ranges separate China from South and Central Asia. The Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, the third- and sixth-longest in the world, run from the Tibetan Plateau to the densely populated eastern seaboard. China's coastline along the Pacific Ocean is 14,500 kilometres (9,000 mi) long, and is bounded by the Bohai, Yellow, East and South China Seas.
I got one small thing that's on my mind
Am I half dead or am I doin' fine?
Well, I know one thing, I won't be forgotten
I don't got nothin' and I want a lot
If money can't buy it, I don't wanna talk
Don't wanna be long forgotten
'Cause I know what I need
But I don't know how to get it
It's totally out of reach
Yeah, I know what I need
But I don't know how to get it
I wanna stay young, stay young
So hold on to 18
I know what I like, babe
Hold on to 18
They can't see what I see
I don't care about society
I don't care about responsibility
And I don't need no one, out on my own
I won't grow old and I don't wanna die
You say I'm too young but that's a dirty lie
I wanna be on my own now
'Cause I know what I need
But I don't know how to get it
It's totally out of reach
Yeah, I know what I need
But I don't know how to get it
I wanna stay young
So hold on to 18
I know what I like, babe
Hold on to 18
They can't see what I see, no
I've got one small thing that's on my mind
Am I half dead or am I doin' fine?
Well, I know one thing, I won't be forgotten
I don't got nothin' and I want a lot
If money can't buy it, I don't wanna talk
Don't wanna be
Hold on to 18
I know what I like, babe
Hold on to 18
They can't see what I see
Hold on to 18
I know what I like, babe
Hold on to 18
