Part of the Lyrics:

Footprints left on the beach

Seabirds slept on the beach

But me left in the memory alone

The coastline is fairly long

Like the story can't be finished by songs

Magic and Dreamlike Blue Fireflies in the Song

We believe you will get quite familiar when hearing the Mint Green Band of China. Xiao Yong is just the guitarist of the band who undertook the composition of the lyrics and melody in the song. As a native born resident from Pingtan, he usually played on the beach of Tannan Bay. He always remembers the blue lights he had ever seen in the dark sky, and the blue elves in the waves where he ran happily when he was young. The memory is quite sweet and precious to him.

He started to plan for writing a song to these elfin creatures since he determined to pursue for his dream of music. He had been waiting for a satisfied vocal music to present the beauty of Blue Fireflies all the time. Later, he met his schoolmates Chen Jiaqin and Wang Yang who had helped him forward the realization of his dream. Soon, they found the suitable singers for their single Blue Fireflies, their good friends Lin Xiaoke and Wu Zonghan, after listening to the melody of the song for inspiration.

Lin Xiaoke, an online celebrity skilled in singing, has millions of online followers. She is pretty in appearance and sweet in vocal voice. Her boyfriend Justin is just a creative singer from Malaysia. He's also among the contestants in the fourth season of the Voice of China, an inspirational talent show with comments on music by Zhejiang TV. Lin Xiaoke and her boyfriend were very fond of the song after enjoying it as well. So they came to Pingtan for an investment of the song and joined the shooting of the Music Video. And now, the production of the video is finished.

Blue Fireflies, a Breathtaking Beauty

The wonder of Blue Fireflies is created by a species of oceanic creature with the dependency of some certain energy for survival. The fluorescence occurs as they were pushed to the beach or even up into the air by surgent waves, as if it were the nebula in the universe. But it's a pity that the blue fireflies could only survive for merely a minute or so without water. The blue gradually fades with the progress of energy consumption.

It would be the best opportunity to observe and explore the fantastic beauty of Blue Fireflies at nights in sunny days. The magic creatures will only shine the blue with fluorescence through a mass gathering as a result of the tides and the uprising currents as well as the blowing of south winds above the sea.

Moreover, the best chance to come across Blue Fireflies is in the rising of tides at nights. As is introduced by a staff from the Environmental Monitoring Center for Ocean, the temperature of water reaching about 20℃ is one of the best conditions to increase the frequency of the occurrence for noctiluca scientillans.
