After the two pledged their lives to each other, the young man went out to work, while the girl waited for him to return.

But year after year, the girl waited with bated breath, yet her beloved never returned!

That concludes the story of the verse.

The melancholic melody immerses listeners in the atmosphere created by the song, making it impossible to put down.

The interlude changed.

The chorus rises abruptly, like a shout, singing out the moving lyrics.

"The setting sun over the northern frontier is her red makeup."

"A mountain of pines and cypresses served as bridesmaids."

"Waiting for her lover to return home in glory."

"In this life, I will only be with you."

Although it's telling a story, it features extensive scene descriptions, cleverly weaving the tragic emotions of the story into the context.

The music video on the large screen behind them showed scenes of customs and traditions in Northeast China.

The drums and firecrackers of the New Year, the swaying horse-drawn carriages in the snow, firecrackers, frost flowers, lanterns, and a multitude of Northeastern images seem to transport people to the front of that distinctive Northeastern courtyard.

Su Can's voice showed a noticeable explosiveness in the chorus.

The feeling of desolation and sorrow was even stronger.

What kind of woman would wear the setting sun over the northern frontier as her red dress and have a mountain of pines and cypresses as her bridesmaids?

Women in the city get married with exorbitant dowries, lavish wedding venues, and a bunch of girlfriends as bridesmaids, all chauffeured around in luxury cars, completing their weddings in style and grandeur.

Female celebrities are the center of attention, and each one wants a wedding of the century. The wealthy grooms spend lavishly to win a smile from their beloved, spending millions or tens of millions on the wedding without batting an eye!

The girl from the mountains in Su Cange's story has nothing. Even her wedding is so simple. She is adorned by the setting sun and made of pine and cypress trees. Apart from this land as her witness, she has nothing.

Poverty and hardship were the defining characteristics of her life!
