Birthplace of the song "A Beautiful Place"

　　The song "A Beautiful Place" was created in Mengxiu Township, Ruili City. In 1954, the young military writer Yang Fei came to Ruili for inspiration. Standing atop Mengxiu Mountain and gazing into the distance, he saw the boundless green expanse of the Ruili Basin bathed in sunlight, with the Ruili River flowing through the plain. Moved by the scenery, Yang Fei was struck with inspiration, and thus the song "A Beautiful Place" was born. After becoming the theme song of the film "Menglongsha," it gained widespread popularity and was included in the "Collection of 100 Patriotic Songs Since the May Fourth Movement." In 1997, it was designated as the city song of Ruili. For over half a century, its lyricist and composer Yang Fei formed an inseparable bond with the city of Ruili. "There is a beautiful place where people of the borderland grow, with closely connected villages nestled nearby, and the Ruili River’s waters shimmering blue..."
