Speaking of the song "The Meaning of Travel", I believe most people are familiar with it. It is not only one of the most sung songs by Taiwanese folk song talent Chen Qizhen, but also a classic work by countless literary youths. Fifteen years ago, Chen Qizhen was wearing a simple and elegant white dress, and under the retro motorcycle helmet was a youthful and sweet face. She sang in an ethereal and healing voice: "You tasted the Paris of night, you stepped through it. Snowy Beijing, you memorize every sentence of your favorite truth in the book, but you can’t tell the reason why you love me.” At that time, Chen Qizhen was still in sweet love, and there were not many places he had visited. I wrote my feelings about travel and emotions in the lyrics and music. The most talked about is the last sentence of the song: "You leave me, is the meaning of travel." This song is not always only about travel, it is also about youth and loss.
