The lyrics of this song "Send You A Little Red Flower" has also become a farewell message missed by countless audiences:
"Send you a little red flower blooming on the end of the wild with cows and sheep
Reward you to never forget me wherever you go
The white and snowy beach, the calm lake
Those real phantoms are my concern for you
Send you a little red flower blooming in the deepest sand in your heart
Reward you to feel the struggle of every destiny
Who is it to squander the time? Who is the bitter hope?
This is not a question and does not require your answer"
