I was originally a singer by the Qinhuai River, but the wave of history rolled in. Originally I was just a singer who pleased officials and businessmen by the Qinhuai River during the Guangxu period, but the wave of history soon swept over me.

Later, I learned about the concept of the country from the revolutionaries, and I learned about myself from the democrats. But in the end, I was still drowned in the long river of history.
