At the opening ceremony of the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, "Dream Paradise" was out of the circle again.
Remember the little girl with a round face, a ponytail, a blue hairpin, and a white skirt in the 2007 "Dream Paradise" MV, who was popular all over Hangzhou? Zhejiang Online found the little girl Zhou Yixin and listened to her new understanding of the song.

"Our home, living in paradise, the turquoise lake rippling with beautiful dreams; Our home, living in paradise, beautiful dreams look forward to the pearl dazzling in the East..."
When the familiar and moving melody of "Dream Paradise" sounded at the opening ceremony of the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, the chorus of thousands of people at the scene, sitting in front of the TV and watching the live broadcast, Zhou Yixin's thoughts suddenly returned to 2006, and the gears of a girl's fate began to turn.
It was an autumn afternoon, in Cuiyuan Kindergarten, 6-year-old Zhou Yixin had just finished her nap, and she received a message from her teacher and filmed a video with a group of uncles and aunts. Fun is the nature of children, and Zhou Yixin happily agreed.
"I remember that we went to the Prince Bay Park by the West Lake, Pinghu Autumn Moon, Broken Bridge and other attractions to shoot." Zhou Yixin recalled, "There was a shot where we were drawing, and we were playing while drawing, scribbling on each other's faces, but I didn't expect to use it in the MV. ”
In 2007, the MV of "Dream Paradise" was broadcast on TV, and Zhou Yixin knew that she appeared on TV.

"I don't know what the song is like when I first hear it, and then I listen to it again." This sentence is most appropriate for Zhou Yixin. As she grows older, Zhou Yixin at different stages will have new feelings when she hears this song-
Primary school listen: Hangzhou is so beautiful, I have been to these attractions; University listening: hearing the purest taste of Hangzhou, like returning to the era of innocence; Listen now: I heard the atmosphere, culture, happiness and civilization of Hangzhou.
Zhou Yixin said, "Atmosphere, West Lake demolished the wall and opened it to tourists free of charge; Culture, Hangzhou has three world cultural heritages: West Lake, Grand Canal and Liangzhu; Happiness, "run at most once", elderly canteens benefit ordinary people; Civilized, courtesy to pedestrians in front of zebra crossings, moving. ”
"This song resonates with the feelings of Hangzhou people because it has witnessed the changes of the city." Zhou Yixin, who lives across the road from Luojiazhuang, said that Luojiazhuang is a famous urban village in Hangzhou, and after the renovation and improvement, the village has been renewed, and dragon boat culture has been implanted, retaining nostalgic memories. ”

The butterfly transformation of Luojiazhuang is only a small part of the history of Hangzhou's changes.
Hangzhou has moved from the "West Lake Era" to the "Qiantang River Era". Above ground, the height of the "tallest building in Hangzhou" has grown from 211.42 meters to 310 meters now, which is the growth rate of Hangzhou; underground, rail transit has grown from "zero" to 516 kilometers of line network, which is the running speed of Hangzhou...
"The rapid change in Hangzhou is to make the lives of people living in this city happier, and eventually turn it into a 'dream paradise'." Zhou Yixin said that at present, Hangzhou is hosting the Asian Games, which can "let all the distant places see your appearance".
