ayseel Posted June 22, 2017 at 06:42 PM Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 at 06:42 PM It seems every Chinese-speaking singer did a version of this song... but where did the original come from? Is it just an old folk song?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtFn3h6uDM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayseel Posted June 24, 2017 at 06:31 AM Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 at 06:31 AM Are you sure? Another person from China just told me that it was a folk song and they even learned it in school. Also there's versions of it on YouTube from before 1980.

Publius Posted June 25, 2017 at 06:22 PM Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 at 06:22 PM Can you read Chinese? 《乡间的小路上》还被选入苏教版五年级教材中。 This song was included in the 5th-grade textbook published by Jiangsu Education Publishing House. What do you mean by "versions of it on YouTube from before 1980"? This? Yeah, that's the original. 所属专辑 民谣风（一） Album: Country Style (I) 发行时间 1978年 Published: 1978 How old is your Chinese friend by the way? We used to learn 學習雷鋒好榜樣 at school, in English (Learn from Lei Feng the good example / Be loyal to the revolution and our party). And I'm pretty sure it's not a folk song.

ayseel Posted June 26, 2017 at 07:36 AM Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 at 07:36 AM Sorry, I cannot read Chinese very well. I was looking for a result in English on Google... I couldn't find one. I don't know how old he is (he's an online friend from a Facebook group ). And okay, I understand now. Thanks for your help!

Publius Posted June 27, 2017 at 10:28 PM Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 at 10:28 PM Yes, most info seems to be in Chinese. He's probably too old. There's only a very short Wikipedia page in Chinese: https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/葉佳修. More details on this page: http://www.zwbk.org/zh-tw/Lemma_Show/137960.aspx (also in Chinese). This is his Sina Weibo (Chinese equivalent of Twitter) account: http://www.weibo.com/josephyeh?is_all=1. Some of his best known works include: 鄉間的小路 -- written for 齊豫, first appeared in the album 《民謠風》(1978/海山唱片). He later covered it himself in his first album 《葉佳修》(1979/海山唱片). 外婆的澎湖灣 -- written for 潘安邦, 《外婆的澎湖灣》(1979/海山唱片). 爸爸的草鞋 -- written for 潘安邦, 《聚散兩依依》(1981/海山唱片). 踏著夕陽歸去 《葉佳修》(1979/海山唱片). 赤足走在田埂上 《葉佳修》(1979/海山唱片). Any Chinese person born before 1975 should be familiar with at least some of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
