Zhang Yu - Si Bai Long Ying


Been long since i last got moved to tears by a song.
Its quite an olden chinese adaptation. About a girl who was sold at six by her mother for 4 silvers, in exchange for her elder brother a wife. Specially like the chorus -

Clouds covered half a moon that night,
the unseen half must be at my destination.
Perhaps thats the only way to think;
to believe its only the moon that have distanced.

Twenty years after, she was too forced to give up her fifth daughter. There she realized,
It is never the moon that was affected; its a life.
