And We Were Heard

Once upon a time, there was a man whose name was Yu Boya. He had good skills in playing the Guqin. But he still felt that he could not express his impressions.
One day while he was boating, the moon was bright and a cool breeze was blowing gently and he began to play. The music became more and more beautiful when a man on the bank shouted "bravo!" When Boya played a piece of music eulogizing the high mountains, the woodcutter said, "wonderful! The melody is as magnificent and dignified as Mount Tai which reaches to the sky!" When he played a piece of music depicting the turbulent waves, the woodcutter named Zhong Ziqi said, "Wonderful! The melody is as vast and mighty as the great rivers!" Boya was excited, and said, "Bosom friend! You are really my bosom friend!” From this story comes the phrase "high mountain and running water" to refer to understanding and appreciative friends. It also refers to excellent music.
Years later, Ziqi died, and no one could understand Boya’s music. He was so sad that he broke his Guqin, and never played again.

Philia in Melody

The melody of this song is written in the style of the Sichuan Opera, one of the oldest and best-known types of Chinese opera. The distinctive sound of the melodic kunshan tune originated in southern China and is lyrical with the wavering pitch of the Chinese tonal language. 
Sichuan Opera is famous for the face-changing done by the actors. Unfortunately, few contemporary compositions are written in traditional Sichuan Opera, and not many people outside of China know about the Sichuan Opera. I hope to bring the legacy of the Sichuan Opera to a wider audience. This song gives thanks to educators. In China, teachers are called “candle lights” because their passion for knowledge inspires generations of students. 
	Lyrics translation:
烛
Candle

纵然是烛光幽微， 
Although the candlelight is dim,
燃烧的却是智慧。
The passion for knowledge burns white-hot.
捧出闪闪烁烁的痴情，
Teachers hold out the shining devotion,
染成那桃李芳菲。
to the joyous rigors of education.

为了一个不灭的追求
For an endless journey towards wisdom,	
没有遗憾，只有欣慰。
no regrets, only gratification,	   
燃尽自己短暂的生命，
Teachers give all of them,
为世界增添一份光辉。
To light the souls of the world.
