The covid-19 pandemic that raged at the start of 2020 has put us all on the brink of facing the dangers of life and death. The closest to danger are those health care workers who are fighting against the dangers of retrograde.

The Long Farewell Singer: Cheng Yue Lyricist: Cheng Yue Composer: Cheng Yue Producer: Yuan Dawei Production company: Weisheng Culture Copyright Planning: Energy Delight Deep in the clouds looms a flute The torrential rain awakens the spring green The pear blossoms on the strange are decorated with sadness and joy I'll send you O my dearest friend The parting is just around the corner You don't want to get lost and you can't cry This smile please remember Oh friends It was a long goodbye When the world also needs heroes of legend And the ranger's unruliness The sorrow will always dissipate, you know Sea drawings do not paint unknown waters And the courage to break the waves The tide that lapping at the rocks The road is full of thorns Don't forget how I looked when I was younger My name The morning glow of the sparkling jade flowing gold You put on the armor of light This is not a pastoral place you should linger on is another starting point Maybe see you again one day At that time, we were shoulder to shoulder Wander through a spring Twilight always dissipates, you know This cold dawn must be broken Even if one day someday The world withers The setting sun cuts out your distant shadow I will stand tall
After the song was created, Cheng Yue first sent the work to Yuan Dawei, a music producer in Beijing, whose simple lyrics and smooth and beautiful melody immediately resonated with Yuan Dawei, because his father-in-law was a medical worker who rushed to Wuhan.
The strong spiritual resonance made the two musicians who knew each other on Weibo and had never met before quickly devote themselves to the arrangement, production and recording of the songs. A week later, the work was completed, and Yuan Dawei sent the song to his friend Li Tianpeng, the person in charge of Energy Delight Music. The song takes "Farewell" as the theme, real and infectious, it makes the parting into a new journey, li Tianpeng, who listened to the crying, immediately decided to help Cheng Yue.

In Cheng Yue's view, the power of the human heart exists in faith and belief, and songs can gather and stimulate this power. "Songs, an art form, are usually partly for the entertainment of the public – but at critical moments, they are very important. For example, those endeavor songs during the war, patriotic songs such as "My Motherland" can especially inspire people in the face of adversity and make people tear up. ”
In this "epidemic" of the whole nation's unity of purpose, although there are sorrows, regrets, difficulties, and confusion, what we have the most is hope! "In the current situation, we need positive energy to give confidence to the medical workers who are struggling on the front line, to give confidence to patients, and to give confidence to the party and the country." We have won SARS, and this time we will also win. We will not forget what we should remember, but we still need to walk firmly on the rest of the road. He said.
