a blind Erhu musician

     The song l chose for my narrative essay is named the moon reflect on the second spring. It was first composed and played by Hua Yanjun, a blind man, in 1940s. I found this song in my second year of collage, when i lost myself in the online and RPG games. At that time i was so negative to life that i can not concentrate to study and was absent at many courses. Then i heard this heart-broken but hopeful song in the campus and deeply moved by the rhythm. I learned from the Internet that although Hua Yanjun progressively lost his sight and drove to poverty and decease in his 30s, he never gave up the love of music. Before his death in 1950, He had composed and played more than 600 songs but only 6 of them were recorded, including the most famous Chinese Erhu song of Moon Reflected on Second Spring. With this in mind, i thought about my life in university. I had no reason to be negative. From then on, i put all my mind on studying and never went to play the games. When i have difficulty or feel desperate, the song will remind me the hard time in the past and i will be recharged by hope and courage.    
    I recommend the song and hope you can find the same feeling with me. The link is as follows:

    1. RPG game is the abbreviation of role-playing game, in which players act out the roles of characters in a narrative game.
