 On the occasion of the Beijing Winter Olympics, a special single "Forever You and Me", jointly created and performed by Chinese and Italian artists, has recently appeared in major music media, attracting wide attention.

  The song "Forever You and Me" was composed by songwriters Zhang Heping and Shu Nan, and sung by Chinese soprano Lei Jia and Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, accompanied by piano played by Lang Lang. This song conveys to the world the belief of working together, helping each other and creating a better future. 

  After receiving the invitation, Bocelli readily agreed and was pleasantly surprised to be able to collaborate with two outstanding Chinese musicians. He said: "As an artist, it is my responsibility to communicate with everyone's heart. Culture and art help people to understand each other, provide valuable support for world peace and development, allow people feel like brothers and help to remove any possible mistrust."

  During the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, " You and me ", "Welcome to Beijing" and other music full of Olympic spirit have been sung by people for a long time. The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics will also definitely create global and remarkable pieces of music. This is the artistic crystallization dedicated to the Winter Olympics by Chinese musicians, and it will also be the cultural heritage of the Winter Olympics for China and the world. (cited from chinakongzi.org, source from People's Daily)
