No, I wasn't. The music was composed by a Taiwanese, the lyrics were written by a Taiwanese, and it was sung by a Taiwanese (Singer: Teresa Teng 鄧麗君). It was BANNED in Mainland China during the Cultural Revolution. I guess Chinese and Taiwanese are getting along very well these days and it won't be a problem, right?
Oh by the way, according to the latest broadcast of Artistry on ice in China, turns out Patrick was unable to pick this Teresa Teng song after all - since SZ took it for themselves!
Zhao even sang this love song (月亮代表我的心) to his wife LIVE as he skated! Zhao has a lovely voice I must say... it is such a lovely song to commemorate their 20 years together before they bid their goodbyes. They even invited a famous Taiwanese club singer to perform.
Yup cultural revolution is a long time gone. Maybe Patrick can do it next year?
Bells of Moscow or prelude in C was already achieved by Jeff Buttle SP in 2005 and you know with Jeff that the artistry is good, does the music with some credit here. Not as powerful rendition as Mao's but a more softer piano approach.
