This song is about the Chongzhen Emperor (Chinese: 崇禎; pinyin: Chóngzhēn; 6 February 1611 – 25 April 1644), who was the 17th and last Emperor of the Ming dynasty as well as the last ethnic Han to rule over China before the Manchu Qing conquest.

The Chongzhen Emperor did his best to stem the decline of the Ming dynasty but failed. On 25 April, 1644,the Chongzhen Emperor was said to have walked to Meishan, a small hill in present-day Jingshan Park. There, he either hanged himself on a tree, or strangled himself with a sash.

By some accounts, the emperor left a suicide note that said, "I die unable to face my ancestors in the underworld, dejected and ashamed. May the rebels dismember my corpse and slaughter my officials, but let them not despoil the imperial tombs nor harm a single one of our people."----fm wikipedia

"Brighten up your life"

/Lyrics/

A gust of wind blows above the sea
The cloud is drifted onto the land
Sand is washed away by the monsoon
The seasons bring warm and cold weathers in turns
Making the lives are vivid and withered
While running the storm hits suddenly
A burning match lights up the space of darkness
The unpredictable destiny is beyond expectations
Just like a shooting star flying towards unknown destinations
However I am still willing to believe in you
who are really tiny weak delicate but fearless
Do the best to respond to the encounter
Always we can see some light at the end of the tunnel
Brighten up your life
*********************
(Chinese opera).
Ignoring the sound of raindrop hitting on the leaves
Seen through life
Life is just a play
Six hundred years are so short as if a dream
*********************
Facing the destination, you are the most fearless man
Facing the destiny, you are the most fearless man
