Ma Lanhua came from China and sang the theme song on the spot, which was sincere and beautiful, attracting warm applause from the audience. The song says:
You go far, but you don't go far,
Looking back, the meaning is lingering.
Bitter Iron lifelong confidant,
Proud snow and frost stand in the mountains.
