A haunting upbeat song from Zhou, evocative of Old Shanghai. China's 'Golden Voice' was one of the most popular and important actress/singers of the 1930s and 40s. She made more than 40 movies and recorded 200 songs. She was born Su Pu into a poor family in Changzhou, 1918-20. At the age of 3, she was taken to a family named Wang in Jintan Country. Her name was changed to Wang Xiaohong. Later, she was sent to a family named Zhou in Shanghai and renamed Zhou Xiaohong. At the age of 13, she took Zhou Xuan (beautiful jade) as her stage name. She spent her entire life searching for her biological parents but her parentage was never established until after her tragic death in 1957 in a mental asylum. A possible cause of death may be encephalitis following a nervous breakdown. Her personal life had been a sad one but she left a timeless legacy - a true legend.

Mandarin 不要唱吧， 不要唱吧， 詩呀， 詞呀， 你們說太高雅。 不要唱吧， 不要唱吧， 情呀， 愛呀， 他們說太肉麻。 輕鬆的不偉大， 雄壯的又可怕， 莊嚴的沒有人愛它。 不要唱吧， 不要唱吧， 不開口免得人家罵， 不開口免得人家罵， 不要唱吧， 不要唱吧。
