And "I love you, China" is the themesong of this film.

《我爱你，中国》对祖国的春苗秋果、森林山川、田园庄稼等作了形象的描绘和细腻的刻画，表达了海外游子对祖国的满腔炽热和真挚的爱国主义情感。歌曲由三部分构成。第一部分是引子性质的乐段，节奏较自由，气息宽广，音调明亮、高亢，旋律起伏跌宕，把人们引入百灵鸟凌空俯瞰大地而引吭高歌的艺术境界。第二部分是歌曲的主体部分，节奏较平缓，旋律逐层上升，委婉、深沉而又内在，铺展了一幅祖国大好河山的壮丽画卷，使“我爱你，中国”的主题思想不断深化。第三部分是结尾乐段，经过两个衬词“啊”的抒发，引向歌曲的最高潮。末尾句“我的母亲，我的祖国”在高音区结束，倾泻出海外儿女对祖国满腔炽烈的爱国主义情感。曲调起伏迂回，节奏自由悠长、与第一部分相呼应。
  “I love you, China” expresses the overseas Chinese burning hot and sincere patriotic feeling towards the motherland by the use of vivid description and detailed depictionof itsSpring trees, Autumn fruits, forests, mountains, field, crops and so on. The song is composed of three parts. The first part plays as an introduction to the period, its rhythm is free, broad, sonorous with bright tone and tune ups and downs, which leads the audiences to an art realm that the lark overlooks the earth and sings. The second part is the main part with more gentle rhythm, the melody rises step by step, tactful, deep and inner, thus spreading out a magnificent map of the whole country, deepening the theme of “I love you, China”. The third part is the concluding part, which leads to the culmination of the song through the two padding syllable"ah". The last line “my mother, my country” ends in treble, pouring out the fiery patriotic emotion of overseas sons and daughters towards their motherland. This part is circuitous, rhythm free with tune ups and downs, thus echoing the first part.
