To this end, the program ingeniously used the tone of "time" to write a letter to the singer, which he read aloud, bringing the audience into a touching plot.

Because he listened repeatedly, he often broke his grandfather's tape, and for this he was reprimanded by his grandfather, who was also a fan of Tan Yonglin.
After Zhang Jie stepped into the path of music, he had a deeper relationship with his idol. The year Zhang Jie won the National Song Contest, it was Tan Yonglin who served as the judge and presented him with awards. Zhang Jie's first song album was released by Tan Yonglin himself.
With a mentor to guide the way, Zhang Jie went smoothly and rarely took detours.

In the film, Tan Yonglin rides a motorcycle, and Lin Qingxia's long hair behind her is flowing, which is very charming. Tan Yonglin's interlude "The Root of Love" sounded softly, and the music and painting blended and were more appropriate.
Therefore, Lin Zhixuan made up his mind to learn to sing Tan Yonglin's songs, hoping that one day he could also take a beautiful woman to the world. After years of hard work, Lin Zhixuan has become a master of skills and has become the world-famous "Prince of Love Songs".
