Especially the line "Even though I am in a low position, I dare not forget my worries for the country" really hits me right in the gut.
The host walked onto the stage with his eyes red and swollen like walnuts.
"Tiger King, why did you write and sing such a song? Can you tell us about the background of this song?"
This time she did not let the three judges speak immediately.
"This is a true story that happened during the Anti-Japanese War. Japanese pirates invaded China, burning, killing, looting, and occupying land."
"A famous actor was singing 'Peach Blossom Fan' in the theater when a group of Japanese pirates rushed into the theater and demanded that the theater perform a play for the pirates, and specifically asked the famous actor to sing."
