Creation background
John Pond Ordway, an American composer, wrote the song Dream of Hometown and Mother in the 9th century. After this song was spread to Japan, Ningen, a Japanese lyricist, wrote a lyric called "Sorrow of Travel" with the melody of dreaming about home and mother.
Li Shutong went to Japan from 1905 to 19 10 to study oil painting and minor in music and drama. During this period, he came into contact with Ningen's "Travel Sorrow" and translated the lyrics: "The west wind is spreading eastward, the autumn is getting deeper and deeper, and the autumn colors are moving. Loneliness and melancholy, loneliness in the cold light. Thinking of hometown and old friends, Gao Tang met his parents. Where to find a country road, I feel that my dreams are broken. "
