The style of music in the Republic of China is not particularly rich. Most of the famous songs that have been passed down to this day, such as "Night in Shanghai", are based on European and American jazz, and are mixed with some materials from Chinese folk songs. This was a very popular practice in the music industry at that time. So the songs that were popular during the Republic of China almost all have the same flavor. For example, many familiar songs:
1. "Rose Rose I Love You"/9d82d158ccbf6c81e9a12f20b73eb13532fa4067?x-bce-process=image/resize, m_lfit, w_450, h_600, limit_1/quality, q_85
"Rose is the most delicate, rose is the most beautiful" I believe everyone has heard of this song, right? The melody is catchy and the lyrics are bright and uplifting. The lyrics were written by Wu Cun and the music was composed by Chen Gexin. Originally sung by Yao Li, a famous singer in Shanghai in the 1930s, this song quickly became popular in Shanghai as soon as it came out. What's even more rare is that it was later covered by American singer Frankie Laine, and the song was called "Rose, Rose "I Love You", this song topped the American pop music charts in 1951 and became the first Chinese original song to become popular overseas.

My favorite song of the Republic of China:
Clouds are floating in the sea sky
Fish are hiding in the water
Bask in the morning sun Fishing net
Is the sea wind blowing in front of you?
It is difficult to catch fish and the boat is heavy to rent
Fishermen are poor all the time
Grandpa The broken fishing net left behind
Careful to rely on it for another winter?
Twilight appears in the east
The stars hide in the sky
The fishing boat returns in the morning
The wind is blowing in front of you?
The movie "Fishing Light Song" directed by Cai Chusheng was moved by this song. What about you? /7af40ad162d9f2d3b2e12727a2ec8a136227cc02?x-bce-process=image/resize,m_lfit,w_450,h_600,limit_1/quality,q_85
