Tan Te (2010)

Tan Te was created by professional folk singer Gong Linna and her husband. Before becoming an Internet sensation in China, the original Tan Te had been performed by Gong in Germany in 2006. Unlike other songs, it has no lyrics, but only mimetic words. Plus Gong performed the song with very vivid and exaggerated facial expressions, which gives audiences a fresh beat. Tan Te is the first online music to have been titled a "miraculous song".

The music video received millions of hits on the Internet. Many netizens imitated the song and upload their own version. Even Faye Wong tried to sing Tan Te, but later admitted on her Weibo account that it is very difficult.
