PhilipLean Posted September 9, 2009 at 10:54 PM Author Report Posted September 9, 2009 at 10:54 PM In 1942, Li Xianglan (Yoshiko Yamaguchi aka Ri Kōran) made this anti opium recording "Please, Quit smoking (opium), My Darling!" It is available on On Youtube under 李香蘭-戒煙歌 and also on Tudou http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/SWZAAWEfmAo/ Here are the lyrics as posted on Youtube by htc0145 達呀達 你醒醒吧,你为甚还想着它? 它耗尽了你的精神,断送了你的年华. 你把一生事業作烟霞,牺牲价未免可怕. 你把一生心血換泥沙,这代价未免太大. 它就是你的情人,你也该把它放下. 何况是你的冤家,也是我的冤家. 達呀達 達呀達,你为甚还想着它? 你要真爱我,要听我的话. 从今以后别再想着它.
