Creative background:
The creation of this song stems from Zhao Zhao's feelings for his mother. Because Zhao Zhao had been "drifting north" to make music before attending the first season of "Good Chinese Songs", he seldom sang to his mother. When I happened to read Ye Zhi's poem When You Are Old, he suddenly remembered his mother's dim light under the window and wrote this song.
This song commemorates youth and love, and it is warm and touching. The arrangement of this song is very dull and there is no climax. There is not much difference between listening and enjoying a poem recitation. The arrangement of guitar and the addition of violin make the whole song move slowly, but in the slow movement, it condenses the feelings for the mother.
