(Health Song)

Mavis Fan was magnetized to music ever since she was a child. She started learning the piano at the tender age of three, joined an elementary music class at seven, and even penned a graduation song for her class at age twelve. Mavis started singing children songs at the age 18 and enjoyed instant success. She was soon dubbed "Little Wizard of Music", which was derived from her smash hit album, The Little Demon Girl's Magic Book in 1996. 健康歌, which literally translates as the Health Song, is one of the hits on this album. It's also the song that made Mavis Fan a household name in China.
