On this version of their song “Modern Village,” Puman sings “The village has become quiet at night / Occasionally a few singing voices can be heard / Smooth hair is just a joke / In fact, only deep in the heart can you escape / Whether you’re in Yunnan or in Paris / Clearly pretending to be stupid, but actually knowing everything.”
