The original singer of the song "Late Autumn" is Mao Ning.

"Late Autumn" is a song written by Su La, composed by Xu Jianqiang, arranged by Bi Xiaoshi, and sung by Mao Ning. It is included in Mao Ning's album of the same name "Late Autumn" released on November 12, 1993. "Late Autumn" is Xu Jianqiang's work in 1988. "Late Autumn" was originally called "May You Keep My Heart". At a concert, Huang Kaiqin discovered the song and asked her agent to buy the Cantonese copyright.

The Hong Kong version of "Late Autumn" has modified the original version. They took out the word "Late Autumn" as the song title. This name seems elegant. The name of the song is taken from the poem "Dwelling in the Mountains in the Twilight of Autumn" by Wang Wei, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, which means "after the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather comes late in autumn". In 1993, the Mandarin version of "Late Autumn" was handed over to musician Chen Luo to produce, and Mao Ning was finally chosen to sing the lead vocal.

Lyrics:

In this late autumn with the falling maple leaves, I realized that you are not everything in my life. When I look back suddenly, it is a forced smile. So many past events are scattered in the wind, how can we say we are in love but are destined to break up, how can I believe that it is a dream. Love is hard to stay. I looked up at the sky and remembered that you said you would love me forever.

How much love and sorrow is hidden in my heart. I want to hold your hand again and warm you. After you leave, in the cold autumn, we meet again only in a dream. How can you say that we are in love but destined to break up? How can you make me believe that it is a dream and that love is hard to stay. I looked up at the sky and remembered that you said you would love me forever. How much love and sorrow is hidden in my heart, I want to hold your hand again.

After you left, in the cold Qingqiu, we met only in a dream. How could we say we were in love but were destined to break up? How could you make me believe that it was a dream? Love is hard to stay, I Looking up at the sky, I remember you saying you will love me forever. Watching you walk away, letting tears flow into my heart. I have given everything I have for you.
