Winter to Spring
The theme is familiar, but remember—no two springs are ever the same sprightly things, no two winters equally formidable. This is an old, old story, told in the sparkling tones of the guzheng, of how frenetic yet graceful death may be, how exuberant yet fragile life often is. Listen to strange tales of battles waged by flowers, of star-crossed lovers, of rain, in music old and new, in songs rekindled and reimagined. Come on a journey into the cold, bitter heart of Winter. Come leap, forged by struggle and sorrow, into the hopeful, glorious arms of Spring.
冬去春来
不曾经历寒冷又怎会珍惜春天的温暖。这是一场心灵的探索——生命可以璀璨但同时也很脆弱；死亡除了悲伤也可以很优雅。古筝悠扬自由的旋律将带领我们穿越时空，穿过最美的风景，欣赏花儿绽放前的挣扎，重温曾经的美好。冬天虽又苦又冷，但走到尽头就是春暖花开，充满希望的春天。
