Theme song for the 100-day countdown celebration of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, music by Xiao Ke and original lyrics by Lam Jik (Hong Kong). The melody of the song was inspired by a local Beijing ballad called “Shui Niu”, which are snails that come out on rainy days. Children in Beijing like to sing songs to attract these little creatures to come out of their shells.
