Found this short article explaining the Bella Ciao phenomena. For first timer like me, the writing gives a short close-up on the root of the song. How, from early 1900 it was the voice of paddy farmers in Italy, later change into universal anthem of resistance. During COVID-19 crisis, the song swept across Europe, uniting younger generations. Hope they take time to take a peek in history.
The word "paddy" is derived from the Malay word padi, meaning "rice plant". Paddy is the staple food of the majority of the world population. It is the second major crop in the world. If you want to have an experience of paddy planting, visit Kedah, the northern part of Malaysia, the Rice Bowl of our country. I really hope Malaysia modernize the paddy planting system. China has been studying hybrid rice for almost 10 years now.
