I thought you are proper Chinese fellow, living in Sichuan. But it turns out you're living in foreign country, longing for your motherland. Usually people who spend their lives far away from countries they were born, develop elevated sense of patriotism. Wonder if it the same for Chinese?

No, you're wrong. Too young too simple.

Yuang,  what is it that makes this song touch you?  does it remind you of things you experienced or does it create emotions just by melody and text?

The soothing melody and text do make me nostalgic,  although I cant pinpoint why.

on a side note:  if people try to high jack your thread,  ignore them.  otherwise the thread becomes one big clusterfuck of people fapping to their own alleged intellect : )
lmao, "what is it that makes this song touch you"

Idiots don't even understand how condescending and belittling it is to act like a kindergarten teacher of disabled kids just because the guy is Chinese. Ooooh, you like a song, Bobby! How special! What about it touches you?? I love discussing songs and how they touch people, this is a deep and interesting subject! Tell me ALL about it, after I get done asking ten questions because you liked a song!!!
Meaning lies as much
in the mind of the reader
as in the Haiku.

Hey, dude, that's right. I was deeply touched by this song. Because I have been away from home for life and career. There is a hint of sadness. Today, many young people have no way. This is helpless choice.

I guess that the feeling for some sort of distance you describe is also what makes me nostalgic when listening to the song,  as distance is also what lies between what and where I am today and what I have lost long ago.

The song that infused the most feelings into me during the last year is unfortunately in german, but I'll share it anyway.  I live in the alps and heard it a few memorable times when I went mountaineering on the peak of some mountain, usually while having dinner and watching the sunset. The text isnt anything that special, but in combination with that slow beat just always helps me to humbly feel where my place on planet earth is, and how fortunate I am to live the life I live.  Marteria is a german hip hop artist with a decent mix of profoundly philosophical and commercial songs.

Yes, I know from whence I came! Discontented as a flame, Upon myself I live and glow. All I grasp like lightning flashes, All I leave behind is ashes
Flame I am - that much I know!

Probably has something to do with cRPG, because in real life Chinese people are everywhere. Even in Serbia.

MV is very beautiful, very atmospheric, music is very pleasant, although I do not understand what he sings. Language, words are limited to the earth, but music is not. A song, you may not understand, but you will be moved.

Is it true? The Chinese who can travel abroad are rich. The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer!

If you are interested in Chinese dissidents, please go to some political forum posting. For example, aha, AHA...... You'll see

Chinese I've seen in Vienna are rich, because they ate like ten portions of ribs each portion costing 13 euros. Chinese who came to Serbia 15 years ago were from poor parts of China, they were selling cheap stuff. At first they had improvised cardbox stands, after few months they got proper stands, a year after that they rented store space. Five years after they initially migrated to Serbia, they opened Chinese shopping malls where they employed locals to work for them. Not to mention they already learned how to speak Serbian, better than many people who live in southern parts of Serbia (they speak Serbian just like Scottish speak English language). Recently many of them left Serbia, because local people became so poor, even previously affordable Chinese merchandise became too expansive for average buyer...

What I like the most about Chinese is that you are so wonderfully "racist", or to put in better way you don't give a fuck about western society concept of racism. Very refreshing.

Gweilo out.
