CCTV channel 13 recently broadcast a new music video for the "Song of the Seven Sons - Macao" on Sunday to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Macao's return to China.
The lyrics of the song come from a series of poems written by famous Chinese poet Wen Yiduo in 1925.
Wen compared the seven ceded or leased areas in China, including the current Macao Special Administrative Region, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Taiwan Province, to seven children who were separated from the motherland.
The poem of Macao was composed into song by Chinese composer Li Haiying and released for the first time in 1999, the year when the Macao SAR was founded.
The music video inspired many netizens to send their best wishes to Macao.

On Monday, Chinese-Canadian singer/actor Kris Wu released a short selfie video on TikTok in which he uses the app's face morphing effect to transform himself into a baby.
Covering half of his face with his hand and looking cool and serious, Wu swiftly withdraws his hand and smiles innocently into the camera as he becomes a baby wearing a bonnet. The popular star and fashion icon then looks at himself with admiration and proceeds to make surprised, happy and angry baby faces.
The video quickly went viral on Sina Weibo.
"Which family does this baby come from? If no one claims him, I'm going to adopt him," posted one netizen.
