The rain falls in the wind. The wind blows in the rain.
Your figure sways in my head.
The rain cannot stop the wind, and the wind cannot stop the rain.
But when the wind and rain stop, I still cannot stop thinking of you.
The 70s to the 80s was a golden era in Taiwan’s history. Changes occurred in the political and economic scenes, as well as in national and cultural self-awakening. Among these changes, the popular music circle also encouraged “the singing of our own songs,” and self-reflecting works by writers and poets consequently pushed the movement of modern folk songs to the peak. Li Tai-Hsiang was fond of composing songs with poetic works by Taiwanese modern poets. His unique approach to composing music prompted the flourishing of campus folk songs and pop songs. His music has created affective resonance with the audience. Every song has contributed to countless people’s memories of youth, and the singers’ voices still linger in our minds.
