1. A turning point in independent production This album marks G.E.M.'s official entry into the "2.0 era". From lyrics and composition to visual design,it fully embodies her deep observations of human nature and society. This uniqueness makes the circulation of this vinyl record in the second-hand market much lower than the demand.
2. Visual art and craftsmanship The album cover design of "City Zoo" is full of metaphors and details. High-quality printing technology combined with the texture of heavyweight vinyl makes it not only a playback tool but also a preferred artwork for many fans to display on their walls.
3. Stable rise in second-hand market value With the revival of vinyl records,the production of physical albums by contemporary Mandopop queens is decreasing. Brand new,sealed (SS) or near-mint (NM) condition "City Zoo" vinyl records have consistently received high inquiries on professional auction and buyback platforms.

City Zoo
G.E.M. Deng Ziqi
Lyrics: G.E.M. Deng Ziqi Composer: G.E.M. Deng Ziqi
Arrangement: Lao Dao / G.E.M. Deng Ziqi / T-Ma Ma Jingheng
Legend has it that in Eden,primitive love knew no deceit
Every day was simple,people were truly sincere with each other
Hearts beat to a unique rhythm
Faces wore orange smiles
Until the snake coiled around,tempting you with the apple
Until the crane plucked away our unicorn horns
Poor Adam,thenceforth trapped in a spiderweb
To fight for bread,one must first learn to eat dirt
Simple elephants,evolved into chimeras
Looking up at all directions,forgetting their hometown
Everyone wants to climb to the peak and plant their own flag
Why do pure white doves seem to have become history.
Working hard to ride a BMW and buy a house
Is merely to turn a frog into a prince
Girls in gray clothes receive no respect
Society doesn't care about tiny insects
So a flock of lambs,with humble wishes
Strive to squeeze into a desolate,vulgar paradise
Those rabbits beaten by turtles have bloodshot eyes
Only envying others' success every day
So they learn from cockroaches,crawling everywhere on walls,unafraid of darkness or dirt
Even licking excrement to advance to a glamorous prison
Living in the City Zoo,civilization and beasts contend
I watch black and white faces,changing colors in an instant
Human hearts are unpredictable,entangled between love and hate
Angels and demons are always by your side,drawing endless circles
Living in the City Zoo,I can only pray to heaven
To grant me a pair of clear eyes,to gradually see through beautiful lies
When you stand on the edge of desire,suddenly good and evil are hard to distinguish
Angels and demons are by your side,who do you kneel before then.
You and I were born as blank sheets of paper
But were written on with too many crooked words
The most frustrating part of growing up is that being honest seems foolish
If you don't want to be broken and eaten,you must sharpen your teeth
Don't let people slaughter you; in crucial moments,you can only betray others
However helpless,it's just an unavoidable side effect of success
When the nose falls in love with smog,you don't notice it at first
This kind of corruption,like dominoes,slowly covers and poisons you
A group of innocent little pigs
Manipulated and swayed by fame and fortune
Their clothes deliberately missing fabric,becoming slaves to trendy brands
Selling their souls to gain wealth
One by one,they quickly become famous,but starve into skeletons
The monster in the mirror is exposed when no one is around
They all yearned for Hollywood at first
But in the end,they all came running back to cry
Girls in gray clothes receive no respect
Society doesn't care about tiny insects
So a flock of lambs,with humble wishes
Strive to squeeze into a desolate,vulgar paradise
Those rabbits beaten by turtles have bloodshot eyes
Only envying others' success every day
So they learn from cockroaches,crawling everywhere on walls,unafraid of darkness or dirt
Even licking excrement to advance to a glamorous prison
Living in the City Zoo,civilization and beasts contend
I watch black and white faces,changing colors in an instant
Human hearts are unpredictable,entangled between love and hate
Angels and demons are always by your side,drawing endless circles
Living in the City Zoo,I can only pray to heaven
To grant me a pair of clear eyes,to gradually see through beautiful lies
When you stand on the edge of desire,suddenly good and evil are hard to distinguish
Angels and demons are by your side,who do you kneel before then.
