It can be said that Chinese is a very romantic county. By this I mean that there a strong sense of romance in relationships in China. There's still a quaint "boy meets girl power of love overwhelms" kind of sense to dating. I find the frankness lack of cynicism refreshing. This spirit shows up in Chinese Pop music, where love themes abound. The thing that's fun and funny for me, is that a lot of this music is in English. The younger generations in Chinese all grew up around English and there is quite a culture of Chinese pop sung in English. Maybe it makes it a little bit of kick to mom and dad, who probably can't understand a word of it. Minxi and I listen to Chinese pop music from time to time so I thought I'd post a couple of hopelessly sweet songs sung in English. It's so sweet.

Speak of Love
There's the occasional word bobble, and the riffs occasionally sound a bit odd, but Chinese pop produces great love songs, and in English. That's awesome!
