Jade's song now an anthem


The sad ballad Laughing Tears has become the unofficial anthem for survivors of the Sichuan earthquake. Its lyrics, about how one must learn to stand up after a fall, resonate with the Chinese in the wake of the 7.9-magnitude quake which hit China on May 12. Beijing-born Jade Liu is humbled by the success of the song: Laughing Tears is supposed to be a love song but I am glad that it has helped to give the survivors of the earthquake some encouragement."
