# History and Meaning
"Donkey donkey I beg you" is a cute song that was translated and adapted from a Chinese children's song called "Little donkey" in 1987, at the request of a Taiwanese children's CD publisher.
The song has since gained popularity in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, and mainland China.
It is suggested that the text and music may have been written by Lin Zhong Jiong in 1960 (unconfirmed).
