Sad but Beautiful
Last night one of my Chinese friends
took me to a concert of Chinese folk
music. The piece which was played on the erhu especially moved me. The music was
strangely beautiful, but under the beauty I sensed a strong sadness and pain. The
piece had a simple name, Erquan Yingyue (Moon Reflected on Second Spring), but it
was one of the most moving pieces of music that I've ever heard. The erhu sounded
so sad that I almost cried along with it as I listened. Later I looked up the history of
Erquan Yingyue, and I began to understand the sadness in the music.
