Lyrics
There is a river named Shanxi,
and there is a mountain named Lushan.
They are all from a small but cozy city, whose name is Shengzhou.
I wanna to hang out with you, hands by hands
on the road of Shanxian.
It is a city worth for you to stop and stay.
I am from Shengzhou, Shaoxing city.
Small as it is, the city is incredibly functional.
Enterprises, culture and tasty food are ready to be discovered here.
Now, please follow me to see how great the city is.
Let’s have some fun and bounce with the rhythm.
I still remember what the city used to be like.
Though everything is different with the passage of time,
the city still remains dynamic in making an attempt to change.
It is a tolerant city where loafers are embraced.
Chen Jialin is a second-year student in Huangze High School. She is the only girl to sing this song. She loves rap and hopes that people will learn more about Shengzhou by rap.
Lyrics
Yue city boasts the most beautiful landscapes in the southeast of China.
And Shanxi River tops among all the landscapes in Yue.
When mentioning Shengzhou, people all know that it is a birthplace of talents.
Men of letters prefer to appreciate the traditional Yue Opera here for relaxation.
Wang Xizhi, the sage of calligraphy, took it as his home when he settled in seclusion.
It is the best place for people who seek for serenity.
Mountains and waters will refresh your mind.
What the brush writes is not only the Chinese character.
Ink rhyme, bit by bit, converge to form Shanxi River
