Cascade Elementary School was founded in 1967 as a public school in Utah. With years of cooperation between the two parties, the Chinese-language immersion program funded by Henan province as a key program was successfully planted in this school. In the video, Zheng Yamin, a Chinese teacher from Henan province, adapted this special song from a popular Chinese song "Your Smile Is So Beautiful" for 5 revisions. Zheng remarked that, "It has become an indispensable part of my life to exchange Chinese culture among the people of U.S."

卡斯卡德小学是犹他州一所公立学校，成立于1967年，是河南省重点支持的国际中文教育沉浸式项目学校。视频中孩子们的中文老师，是来自河南的郑亚敏，她把热播歌曲《你笑起来真好看》重新填词，反复修改五次，做成了这首特别版的《武汉加油 你笑起来真好看》。郑亚敏说：“传播汉语文化，做好中美民间文化交流的使者，这份使命已成为生命中热爱的必然。”（记者/张楠 杨鑫阳 韩淼宇 编译/赵汉青 审校/焦丹）

Rewrote by Zheng Yamin

长江上边有大桥

A bridge over the Yangtze River

大桥边上黄鹤楼

A Yellow Crane Tower beside the bridge

不管风雨有多少

No matter how hard it is

脸上带着笑

You always smile

喜欢看你的双眼

Enjoy looking at your eyes

喜欢看你的眉尖

Enjoy looking at your brow

口罩遮住你的脸

Even if the mask hides your face

遮不住坚强

But never your strength

你笑起来真好看

Your smile is so beautiful

像春天的花一样

Like flowers in spring

把所有的病毒所有的苦难

All the disease and all the hardship

统统都吹散

Are blown away

你笑起来真好看

Your smile is so beautiful

像夏天的花一样

Like flowers in summer

光芒照亮我们的心房

Sunshine illuminates our hearts

把病毒驱赶

All disease are driven away

长江上边有大桥

A bridge over the Yangtze River

大桥边上黄鹤楼

A Yellow Crane Tower beside the bridge

不管风雨有多少

No matter how hard it is

脸上带着笑

You always smile

喜欢看你的双眼

Enjoy looking at your eyes

喜欢看你的眉尖

Enjoy looking at your brow

口罩遮住你的脸

Even if the mask hides your face

遮不住坚强

But never your strength

你笑起来真好看

Your smile is so beautiful

像春天的花一样

Like flowers in spring

把所有的病毒所有的苦难

All the disease and all the hardship

统统都吹散

Are blown away
