County-level city
A county-level municipality (Chinese: 县级市), county-level city, or county city is a county-level administrative division of mainland China. County-level cities are usually governed by prefecture-level divisions, but a few are governed directly by province-level divisions.
Most county-level cities were created in the 1980s and 1990s by replacing counties.
A county-level city is a "city" (Chinese: 市; pinyin: shì) and "county" (Chinese: 县; pinyin: xiàn) that have been merged into one unified jurisdiction. As such it is simultaneously a city, which is a municipal entry, and a county which is an administrative division of a prefecture.
County-level cities are not "cities" in the strictest sense of the word, since they usually contain rural areas many times the size of their urban, built-up area. This is because the counties that county-level cities have replaced are themselves large administrative units containing towns, villages, and farmland. To distinguish a "county-level city" from its actual urban area (the traditional meaning of the word "city"), the term 市区 shìqū, or "urban area", is used.

Make Or Break Me
by: Kyle ParkI know you too well
Maybe more than myself
So don't try to hide anything.
When you feel something's wrong
You run to be alone
But you can't ever outrun the pain.
So look me in the eyes let me fell what you feel
There's no need to move girl, you know I'll be still
Still the same man as I was the first day
That I told you I'll never let you get away from me
Baby, you make or break me.
We've been here before and one thing's for sure
Life gets rough every now and then
But we've still got that fire, the burning desire
That reminds us again and again
Of the first time we touched so new and surreal
For as long as I live girl you know I'll be still
I'm still the same man as I was the first day
That I told you I'll never let you get away from me
Baby, you make or break me.
And most times you know I only want to say
That I love you, I want you, I need you to stay with me
Baby, you make or break me.
So look me in the eyes and let me feel what you feel
For as long as I'm alive girl you know I'll be still
Still the same man as I was the first day
That I told you I'll never let you get away from me
Baby, you make or break me.
And most times you know I only want to say
That I love you, I want you, I need you to stay with me
Baby...
Oh, I'm still the same man as I was the first day
I love you, I want you, I need you to stay with me
Baby, you make or break me...
