The song "Tears of Plum Blossoms" was originally sung by Guo Jingtong, with lyrics written by Liu Haidong and music composed by Liu Yimin. It was first released on August 31, 2017. "Tears of Plum Blossoms" is a typical Chinese-style song. The prelude unveils the mystery amidst the melodious sound of the guzheng, as if it has returned to the prosperous days of the Han and Tang Dynasties when the graceful long sleeves of black silk were used to dance.
The whole work runs through the longing for parting with the lover, to the sentimentality of beauty passing away and flowers growing old. The sound is heartfelt, the words are affectionate, and it is full of strong classical charm. "The beauty is flowing with water, and the pieces of flowers and bones are piled up; who said that plum blossoms have no tears, but the ice and snow have not yet penetrated the plum blossom stamens..." The highly artistic lyrics, coupled with Guo Jintong's low and graceful voice, make the words, music and meaning , people are completely integrated into one, vividly expressing the gentle beauty of Chinese women and Chinese traditional music. Song Lyrics
I said goodbye to you that day, but now it’s snowing again.
Missing your song makes Nazhimei drunk.
Who is drunk by the falling red tears on the white snow, and the drops of cold fragrance.
The beauty is flowing like water, and the pieces of flowers and bones are piled up.
Who said plum blossoms have no tears, they are just ice and snow.
Who says plum blossoms have no tears before the stamens are cold enough.
Just because I am waiting for you, I look forward to the return of spring even though the cold is coming.
I said goodbye to you that day, but now it’s snowing again.
Missing your song makes Nazhimei drunk.
Who is drunk by the falling red tears on the white snow, and the drops of cold fragrance.
The beauty is flowing like water, and the pieces of flowers and bones are piled up.
Who said plum blossoms have no tears, they are just ice and snow.
Who says plum blossoms have no tears before the stamens are cold enough.
Just because I am waiting for you, I look forward to the return of spring even though the cold is coming.
Who said plum blossoms have no tears, they are just ice and snow.
The stamens of plum blossoms have not yet penetrated by the cold, but they will turn red again in spring.
***Singing in front of the flowers is not a dream in this life.
***Singing in front of the flowers is not a dream in this life.
