  • I love this song.

  • this song bring back memories of my stay in Zhongguo... would love to get wasted in beijing!

  • Is the song originally written by this 'shin' dude or are its roots older than that. I heard he split up with his band without telling them. Is this true?

  • @nine0rowan the song is originally written by Bobby Chen. (see -> watch?v=AnH2Erdp9xk ) And,yeah,he split up with his band.

  • lol redrubberyboots except that is a japanese song and these instruments/words/vocal styling is chinese. Its like the difference between the Germans and the French. They both white but they sound different.

  • One night stand in beijing "no sank yuu"

  • I found this after we had some confusion about 'one night in Bangkok' and 'one night in Beijing' I have some respect for Chinese pop music now.

  • 我爱中国!

  • its sad that shin just left the band with out the members knowing it, hope that they make a come back with a new singer

  • 今天是国庆,我爱中国!

  • @pwkid mix-blood

  • good song heard yesterday on some tv show my mom was watching

  • I once went to Redang Island. There is a Malaysian Chinese band, singing that song at a open-air bar. That felt home, when I was hearing that.

  • anyone heard something about 'one dollar one dollar oi' at the start?

  • i like this song

  • this is a true classic...

    music of today CANNOT and WILL NOT reach this level of awesomeness...

  • this is an awesome song

  • dis song is kind of HO HO HO KUNG FU FIGHTING

  • Merry Christmas and I wish I could see Beijing right now...peace and love man...hoopy507:)

  • Both Chen Shen's and this version has different feel..

  • descendents of the dragon

  • @mootchambers I thought that was Bhutan?

  • I speak chinese but I`m Taiwanese~!

    Singapore have chinese . Malaysia have chinese. so what??

    they R not from china~

    many country have chinese

  • @MrQAZ008 i second to that as a singaporean.

  • @MrQAZ008 I don't get it, what's this about?

  • @grace317 what R U talking about? Singapor have chinese people right?

  • @MrQAZ008 Eh yup but why is that brought up -_-?

  • @grace317 I have no idea now.......really don`t know what U said......

  • 超級喜歡中間夾著二胡的過渡段!!

  • 我是美国人但是我在学中国话。我觉得中国非常有意思。I have no fear of Chinese are going to take over the world or anything that extreme. The Chinese are extremely hard working people that can accomplice anything the put their mind to! 我爱中国!

  • does it matter? Taiwan for all intents and purposes is an independent country in its autonomy, But its slowly losing it

  • @glowjack177 there are worries that china is attempting to assimilate taiwan through economic means, but I believe this is simply overreaction and conspiracy theory. Remember that over half of Taiwan's people consider themselves taiwanese and independent.

  • @glowjack177 Sad but true.

  • @glowjack177 Sad but true. I mean, how autonomous/sovereign can you be with over 1000 missiles aimed at you?

  • @misterginsberg A country that is suppressed by fear is still independent. America's 9/11 did not mean that it is not sovereign. All the 1000 chinese ballistic missiles accomplish is to demonstrate to the world China's military might and tendency to work towards fear tactics and bullying.

  • Finally, I'd just like to point out that even if all the aborigines miraculously died (and if they did, I wouldn't be typing this) and was instantly replaced by han chinese as soon as they arrived, that still doesn't make Taiwan part of China. Australia's population is over 90 percent British or Irish, but that doesn't make them part of Great Britain. New Zealand is over 95 percent british, but that doesn't mean it is part of britain. Ethnicity has nothing to do with sovereignty.

  • @teabagger702 you keep it real. Consult Chinese, Taiwanese, British, French, and Japanese sources, not whatever the UN dictates. If the UN can't control anything in countries that actually need their help, then they sure as hell do not have the right to judge the liberty of a developed, mature culture such as Taiwan's.

  • @teabagger702 for example, my DNA testing, and my family's, revealed that we have more in common with the Maori people in NZ than native Han Chinese. Our community has been that way since before the Chinese changed our names.

    As I stated before, during the Montevideo convention (which is sanctioned by the US and approved of by the EU as well as most latin american and asian countries) states that a country DOES NOT NEED recognition to be a country. The UN's poor opinion, is void.

  • @teabagger702 harumph. You don't find it a tiny bit suspicious that throughout Taiwan's history with China china has always tried to severely curb the population there, that only males were allowed to go for a few months at a time, and yet the census proclaims that by 1890 China was 100 percent Chinese? The emperor Qianlong decreed that all native Taiwanese must change their names and thus ethnicity, but saying ain't so. If I called you a nigerian now that wouldn't make you one.

  • @teabagger702 i wrote more, read the message I sent you. Regarding your point: China took official interest in Taiwan for around 5-10 years in the 1880s. In comparison, Taiwan was a heavily invested Japanese colony for 50 years. China is about as much a "mother country" to Taiwan as italy is to ethiopia. You're not a realist, you're a bigot focused on superficial details. Taiwan is a recognized country in every way except name, which does not mean anything in the international arena.

  • Great Song. I was in Shanghai Oct 2007 and I think I heard this band play at their City Hall square. Please confirm.

  • @teabagger702 I've done research on this for over twelve years now, scrutinized sources from every power that's ever been involved anywhere near the taiwanese strait. Taiwan WAS represented during the Chinese Olympics as "Chinese Taipei", but only because of a pointless naming order. For all intents and purposes, the atheletes were recognized world wide as hailing from Taiwan. I find it richly ironic that a person hailing from America would be a totalitarian sympathizer.

  • @brainwasher9876 sorry about the superfluous messaging btw, it appeared that youtube wasn't registering my comments and I wanted to make sure.

  • @teabagger702 if you're an american living in china, you have no right to say what the status of Taiwan is. Taiwan DID have a flag, but of course not in the chinese olympics. They were allowed the flag in the australian and athenian olympics prior to this, and they'll be allowed it in the london ones. Do some research? I've done over 12 years of research on this, and you, being american, should support the taiwanese cause since your own country was one that broke away from tyrannical power.

  • @teabagger702 Reviving a topic for the sake of your idiocy; rofl, you're wrong. It doesn't "fall under china", since you communist filth never reached taiwan in the first place. You tried, and failed, on the san er ba battle at Jingmen. Get over yourself, Taiwan is already independent and has been for over half a century.

  • @brainwasher9876 But reunion isn't out of the question. The culture's fallen out a but nothing worse than the English dominions, an economic union is definitely possible and who knows, it could go the path of EU in which the two as essentially the same country to where day to day business is concerned.

  • @glowjack177 you're absolutely right, union isn't out of the question. I just hate anyone who thinks that they own taiwan just because they had once laid claim to it. If I laid claim to the US now, it doesn't make it mine. Same applies here.

  • @brainwasher9876 Well I hate war, (though I love war machines and tactics, kinda contradictory) and a claim will most likely lead to conflict so yes. Of course by the same reasoning every race would have a claim to Ethiopia, the cradle of mankind.

  • @glowjack177 so by extension the chinese claim on taiwan is both hollow and based on no firm evidence.

  • dude foreal i did spend 1 one night in beijing alone ,good beijing view

  • i actually spent one night in beijing, i had to sleep at the airport.i got diarrhoea

  • love the song!

  • i am a malay.. this song rocks!

  • @Adha84 are you from nottingham?

  • One night in Beijing, I left with many memories.

    Like it or not it doesn't matter, for these are dusts of the history.

    One night in Beijing, I left with many memories.

    Dare not to ask for direction in the middle of the night,

    for I'm afraid to have come to the "Forgotten Gardens".

    Legends told that the Forgotten Gardens,

    still lives the withered lover, sewing the embroidered shoes.

    With a peaceful look, she awaits for his homecoming.

  • One night in Beijing, one should not have drank too much.

    Walking outside the Tian'AnMen, it is easy to fall in love.

    One night in Beijing, I left with many memories.

    Men who cheer with ales and songs,

    are the Wolves from the North.

    Legends told that Wolves from the North,

    will appears outside the City Gates,

    when the cold breezes.

    Clad in their rusty armors,

    and in tears, they howl to the city wall.

  • Ohhh, I have waited for a thousand years,

    and yet the City Gate would not open.

    Ohhh, I have waited for a thousand years,

    and yet he has not return.

  • One night in Beijing, I left with many memories.

    Dare not to ask for direction in the middle of the night,

    for I'm afraid to have disturbed the misery souls.

    One night in Beijing, I left with many memories.

    for I'm afraid to have come to the Di'AnMen.

    I would not ask, where could you be.

    I will try not to think, if u will ever return.

    Like this feelings held in my heart,

    I will never let go.

  • @juhanthus thanks! these are great!!!

    ZhongGuo it's spelled ZhongGuo

  • @leandro11373 TAIWAN ONLY

  • @leandro11373 wo ye shi!

  • SKYFAYE : You are a translator ~~ Plz stop translating

  • lolx dont translate so directly laaaaaaa...some meanings are lateral

  • Here's the chinese lyric and a not-so good english translation from Google. I can read a few chinese characters and the gist of it is that the woman is waiting for her lover to come back but he never did. This is suppose to to take place in acient times.

  • Ahem...

  • thanks for putting this up! i love this song, so unique!

  • china rocks

  • best song!

  • 信乐团的版本不错..但是我更喜欢原版的..呵呵...陈升和刘­佳慧

  • i just came back from Beijing and this cover band called Q band did an amazing version of this song!

  • video too long la !!!

    walao a

  • This song sounds not bad.I wish i would understand his singing hehe.

  • it's a story bout a female ghost that waited thousand years for her love to return from the battle fields

  • i agree

  • 我很喜欢中国的访问.

  • 这首歌  ,,,京剧的魅力 。。

  • 這mv看的有點不太舒服...

  • 下面的你自言自語 ..? -__-

  • i kill my own voice everytime i try this song.. have to rest for 1 hr b4 i sing again ..lol..

  • es la mejor cancion que he oido pero la escuche de aya matsuura una idol japonesa, esta aqui en youtube la version. aunque debe leer la letra pues no sabe el idioma la voz y la musica suena espectacular. ^^

  • i like this song and i want it on ipod any sugesstions where i can get and yea i cant type chinese =(

  • FYI the song name is called "One night in Beijing"..not chinese

  • donkk: i fully agree about what u said..well said! =) hv a good day

  • We are all CHINESE, in sense of the race. I am proud of my heritage, despite being raised in a English-speaking environment--thus my mandarin is not as good as I would like it to be...but thats beside the matter.

    No matter where we come from, what country we reside in, what personal religion we choose to take--we all have common roots. Lets not let such political rubbish harm feelings, and enjoy this great, chinese song.

  • @donnk do you understand what he was singing?

  • @donnk where ya raised up at? i am chinese too (:

  • @15fabregas4

    Singapore.... :o

  • 聽過這首歌後感觸許多。其中許多聯想似乎只可意會不可言傳。多年­前哈里遜福特曾主演一部電影[K-19]也相當叫座。而這首歌以­有類似唱京劇(Beijing Opera)的假音(Falsetto)唱法為其獨特色彩。

  • 曲中至[眼中含者淚]的後段音樂,實令人內心感動。樂團團名本就­略帶有爭論性的理念,不少創作聯想與樂趣應也從此而來。該團還有­幾首歌曲如[千年之戀],[天高地厚]也相當值得推薦激賞的。

  • who is the original singer for this song?

  • 陈升

  • 信乐团把原版的一段最重要的歌词直接给无视了.

    "不敢在午夜問路 怕觸動了傷心的魂" 民族魂啊. 这首歌不是一夜在北京这么简单.

    不过信乐团某方面上比原版唱的好很多..

  • 這歌相信與輪有關: 前生為一戰士因出戰而留下情人於老家. 戰死後成為一名Beijin遊客, 重遊舊地.

  • @wcfaa That's a really interesting interpretation. (For those who don't know Chinese, he said that the lyrics might be related to the cycle of rebirth: the song's narrator left his lover and home a thousand years ago in his previous life; now he's visiting Beijing, his old home, but reborn as a tourist.) It does fit with the whole sense of being scared to touch Beijing too deeply, in lines like "afraid to stir the heartbroken spirits" and "afraid of coming upon the garden of all flowers."

  • this rock !!!!

  • 音乐不分国界!嘴巴说是华人可是却满口英文!!

    拜托别把政治课题带进音乐!

  • if you in paris, this song should call "one night in paris",

    if you in newyork, this song should call "one night in newyork"

    so does this original song is in beijing, china

  • No, please pay attention to the lyrics.

  • cool !XD

  • wassap justin ! Are you ready for next year? I am zzzzz

  • What does One Night In 北京 mean?

  • means one night in beijing

  • THE DELETED COMMENT BY "mileyard" IS AS FOLLOWS: Means one night in this place call beijing. Lol.

  • Comment removed

  • Rocks! At least theres something people like in chinese!!!

  • this song will be forever in my heard, i am from Germany but i live and love in Beijing now.

    the summer comes with his hot nights, i could cry so beaty

  • wow this song really ROCKS

  • = =哭?

  • Love Beijing, Love whole China

  • An amazing song. Truly beautiful. :)

  • 听这歌听到哭...

  • SEXY!!!

  • wow guys stfu bout countries and lets enjoy the nice music by xin yue tuan

  • can we stop this political discussion and enjoy the music instead?

  • I'm afraid all this bickering is just a pretense for these politician wannabes to voice their "opinions". They are not here to enjoy the music like you and me. They are looking for a soapbox to stand on but was too cheap to build their own blog or website to do so and decided to flex their political know-how on youtube.

    Really, you kids need to just pack up and go somewhere else to deal with it. This page is for the music, not Larry King Live.

  • yeh i agree

    i fken hate it when i come to listen to Chinese/Vietnamese/Taiwanese music and all there is is political discussion

    geez if u guys want to discuss politics, discuss it on a video ABOUT politics geez

  • anyone knows the history of this song?

  • Really though, one thing that bothers me is how people read an article on Wikipedia or listen to their friends and think they understand everything. You are mislead and I feel very bad that you have to be this ignorant.

  • @xcobraxvc not to revive a dead topic, but you were incorrect on one point. According to the Montevedeo convention, a country does not need external recognition to be a country. For example, China was clearly a country even though America did not recognize it as such until the 1970s.

  • Okay, I'm sure anyone can tell you that if China wanted to, it can conquer Taiwan in under a day if no one stops it. However do you know why China will never be able to turn Taiwan communist? Because the United States wouldn't allow it. Allowing China to control Taiwan gives them too much control over the pacific (trading routes, military position)

  • and i bet you think christopher columbus discovered America. and wikipedia is very reliable...

    also if you wanted to go far back then people migrated to china from Africa... so all chinese people arent chinese, but african right?

  • you are just playing with vocabularies and there meanings

    the term "chinese" doesn't just mean people from the land of china

    and the term "african" doesn't just mean people from the continent of africa

  • more idiocy. the people that fled to Taiwan only comprise of less than 15 percent of Taiwan. If 15 percent means that, then the US should be called Mexico, or Africa, seeing how they each nearly make up 15 percent of the population

  • fucking idiots.. we are all Chinese at heart, regardless of political orientation.

  • in that case we are all African at heart, seeing how humans originated from Africa.

    fucking idiot..

  • i thought this was the song by vinlyshakers but then i got this
