China is such an ancient country with billions of people cultivated by lots of old philosophies as well as radical new changes coming with the political system.
It maybe hard for others to fathom the contemporary Chinese romance. But from these love songs, you can see the Chinese vulnerability regarding love. Maybe even get some insight into the generation grew up with such influences.
These songs have melodramatic and romantic lyrics like:
"Don't tell him that you are afraid in the dark; that you like the roses he gave you the most; that you like him to wait in the rain ... because those are my most precious memories."
"I used my happiness as a wager (for you) ... losing you, I lost everything."
"I am a playful and free kite, everyday making you worry. If one day, you become a kite, how do I get back to you? ... Because I know you are a worrying little girl, so before the rain cloud comes, I come back to your arms ..."
