Title: Nanniwan
Sung by: Guo Lanying
Lyrics: He Jingzhi
Music: Marco
The flowers in the flower basket are fragrant
Listen to me, I'm going to sing a little bit, sing a little bit, sing a little bit
Coming to Nanniwan
Nanniwan is a good place, good place, good place, good place
There is a good place, good place, good place, good place, good place, good place, good place, good place, good place, good place, good place, good place, good place,
Crops everywhere, cows and sheep everywhere
The Nanniwan of the past
was full of barren mountains and no people
Nanniwan today
is different from the old days, not the same as the old days
Nanniwan nowadays
is different from the old days
Not the same as before
It's not like the old days anymore
It's a nice river in the north of Shaanxi. It's a good river in northern Shaanxi
A good river in northern Shaanxi
Flowers are blooming all over the mountain, blooming all over the mountain
Learning from that Nanniwan
Everywhere is the south of the river, the river is the south of the river
Fighting and producing at the same time
The 359th Brigade is a model
We're going to go forward
Flowers are for the models
This is the first time I've seen this in the past There are many people in the world that have been in this situation for years. strong>Expanded Information

Background
He Jingzhi wrote "Nanniwan"
Since 1942, the dramatic changes in Nanniwan have strongly attracted many celebrities, who came to visit the area in an endless stream and wrote many poems and articles.

In 1943, the Shanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region's civil-military production campaign reached a climax, and the 359th Brigade, as a "model production", was even more famous in the Border Region.
This year, Yan'an soldiers and civilians carefully organized condolences, and bring cultural and artistic programs, to Nanniwan to comfort all the officers and men of the thirty-five nine brigades. Yan'an Lu Xun Art Institute Yangge team in charge of the preparation of cultural programs, it occurred to me that we should rehearse a program related to the 359th Brigade.
The choreographers, after a lot of hard thinking, finally came up with a rice-planting dance called "Pick Flower Baskets", in which eight actresses picked eight pairs of flower baskets and performed on the stage accompanied by an interlude song, the last verse of which was called "Nanniwan".
He Jingzhi, a poet, received the task of creating lyrics for the episode, combined with his own deep understanding and experience of the military and civilian production movement in the border areas, especially the 359th Brigade Reclamation Nanniwan, fully brewed, wrote the lyrics in one fell swoop, and Marco used the tune of the Shaanbei folk songs to compose the music for it.
The rice-planting song and dance "pick flower basket" in Nanniwan condolence performance, extremely popular with the 359th Brigade officers and men welcome. Wang Zhen happily walked onto the stage, shook hands with the actors and actresses of the program one by one, and took pictures with them. The song "Nanniwan" was born.
Later, with the "pick flower basket" tour in the Shanxi-Gansu-Ningxia border area, especially by Guo Lanying sang after the song quickly became popular in the border area, and spread throughout the country. And a generation of famous singer Guo Lanying's artistic life also began.
