When Yang Dazheng talked about this song, he said: "This song has not been performed yet. It is a very special song. It is about life and death, not "The End of Life." I just helped my father hold a farewell ceremony last week, and after that, I listened to this song again and felt different. In fact, I have experienced this myself. I feel that farewell does not have to be sad, but the emotion must be sincere." Some of his thoughts also revealed his longing for his father.
