"When the flowers fade and the flowers fly all over the sky, who will pity me when the red fades and the fragrance disappears?" This is the lyrics of "The Burial of Flowers". In the past, when people appreciated it, they may have experienced more of a kind of sadness, but in Wu Bixia Her interpretation is "not to bury the flowers with one's head down, but to ask the sky with one's head held high." The audience experienced a different kind of character and philosophy in her singing.
Another song, "Dividing Flesh and Bones," is the most unique in style among all the pieces. In order to express the sorrow of Tan Chun's long-term marriage, the composer focused on Westernization, with a dramatic tension of large lines.
Wu Bixia said frankly that as she grows older, her senior mentors and relatives around her continue to leave, and this process will make people understand the deeper meaning of "Split Flesh".
"Singing is not only about expressing beauty, but also about feeling the mixed flavors, joys, sorrows and joys of life in 'beauty', so music can resonate."
From imitating the original singer Chen Li's "Photography of a Cat and Painting a Tiger" to now singing the whole song on the stage, Wu Bixia is very grateful to her teacher Wang Liping for her support along the way. "This process of encouragement and companionship has allowed me to continuously further understand "Dream of Red Mansions" "The profound and broad cultural connotation behind it guided me to bring "Dream of Red Mansions" into the current society."
