"The Olive Tree", which was based on an English-language poem by Sanmao, was originally written about a small donkey which Sanmao had encountered on a plain in Spain.
Li Tai-hsiang had the poem translated to Mandarin by folk singer T.C. Yang, with Sanmao's permission, and wrote the song for Chyi Yu.
Yang omitted the donkey, which he felt would not easily connect with Taiwanese music fans.
Chyi Yu has stated in an interview that "Every time I sing this song [The Olive Tree], I'm nervous."
