Shì Shàng Zhǐ Yǒu Mā Mā Hǎo
(Mom is the Best in the World)
This song focuses on a child’s relationship with their mother. Children in China learn this song at an early age. Although Mother’s Day is not celebrated in China, the idea of honoring your mother is very important and ties in well with Mother’s Day or spring celebrations.
