Shi Guangnan’s representative song: The grapes in Turpan are ripe.

"The Grapes in Turpan Are Ripe" is a song written by Qu Cong, composed by Shi Guangnan, and first sung by Luo Tianchan. In December 2019, the song was rated as one of the top ten most beautiful city music cards.

"The Grapes in Turpan Are Ripe" combines the love for lovers. The lyrics are wonderfully conceived and the style is fresh. The grapes under the green grass in the breeze created the true love between a Uyghur girl named Anarhan and the Crimean man stationed at the border checkpoint. Composer Shi Guangnan used his outstanding melody talent to carefully compose the song by borrowing Xinjiang Uyghur folk tonal materials and the typical rhythm of hand drums in ethnic songs and dances. This is a beautiful and moving ode to joy.
