Hua Mei loves music. Her favorite songs typically are those from the Disney movies she watches. These include the songs from Mulan, Cars, …
When we drive in the car, I play a CD with her favorite songs. For variety though I do try to play other music and maybe shape her musical tastes. Of course that will come back to haunt when she starts listening to her generation’s version of Britney Spears or whatever.
When she was little, one of her favorite songs was the Blue Hearts’ “Linda Linda,” especially performed by Paran Maum.
