1. The story of Tanshui Qinghe
There is a story in Tanshui Qinghe. This story is probably about a young man who is madly in love and is discovered by his mother. When the woman's mother disagreed with this relationship, the girl jumped into the river and fell in love. After the boy knew it, he jumped into the river with the girl. They died to protect this love. This is a very sad story.
2. Zhang Yunlei's singing method
Actually, the song is the same song, but different people will bring different feelings to the audience. Zhang Yunlei, a vibrant young man, sang this song with pop music, which brought the audience's aesthetics and feelings into this song better. Therefore, the audience can understand better, and with his face value, this song is naturally ignited by him.
I think whether a song is hot or not has a lot to do with its production and the singer's understanding and interpretation of it. So often a song is not necessarily lit by the original singer, but more likely by the cover, just like "Exploring the River" was lit by Zhang Yunlei.
