Netizen comments:
The first time I heard "Clouds Chasing the Moon" was played by a boy, he sat in the center of the piano room, and the sun shone on him, which was beautiful. The second time I heard it, I was already sure I liked him. He played it 147 times, and I've heard him play it every day since I knew him. "Clouds Chasing the Moon", his favorite song has spent the most beautiful time with me, of course, this song is now my most painful injury.
Yesterday I went to a place to eat, there was a string of piano sounds in the hall after the group, I followed the sound to see, an aunt was playing, I asked the aunt will you play the clouds chasing the moon, she said it will be a short paragraph, I said you first play yours and then play it to me, then I almost left, and then a familiar beginning came, I ran back to listen, the clouds chasing the moon, no matter which time I listened, I would be very moved - in fact, that aunt is blind.
Chinese classical songs, full of ancient fashion, show the beauty of Chinese charm. It is the essence of national music. The songs selected in the playlist, with their colorful imagery, are poignant and pathetic, or elegant and passionate, and strongly impact our emotional airspace. Realistic suffering, lofty ideals; The wanderer is homesick, and the woman is nostalgic; Love the landscape, let yourself go... Travel through time and space, let yourself enter such a temple of art, to find the spiritual flash in our blood.
"Chasing the Moon in the Clouds" is really a hometown taste that you can never get tired of hearing. This version performed by Li Yundi, the joy of seeing the clouds and the moon, is really like returning to the summer night countryside in Lingnan with banana leaves and cicadas chirping. The clouds that cover the moon are transparent by the light of the moon, shining, and the wind blows, revealing the moon, with circles and circles of dazzling colored edges... I really want to go back to Guangdong.
Life should not be so silent in the world, but should be like the clouds chasing the moon to give courage and courage for the moment of shock.
