Mongolian lark returns

After more than seven years of silence, Inner Mongolian pop singer Siqingerile is sweeping back onto the music scene with a new album, Mountain Spring. Like her previous albums, she wrote most of the music and lyrics in the album. Born in Xilinhot, a small city on the grasslands of the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, she attributes her talent as inherent, since she was born into an ethnic group known for singing and dancing. During the past seven years, she says she has been traveling around the world. "The more I see the world, the more I want to write songs for my homeland," she says.
