The soft sound of the piano, the delicate emotions, and the gorgeous techniques made people hooked, especially the love part of "Butterfly" The reappearance of the theme seems to take the audience into a fairyland, where they vaguely see Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai dancing among the flowers, telling their undying love.
During the encore performance, accompanied by thunderous applause and cheers from the audience, Lu Siqing returned from behind the scenes to the front stage again and again, performing "Greetings from Love", "Chinese Flower Drum", "Sorrow of Love", "Spring of Xinjiang" and " "Meditations" is a collection of five classic pieces with rich themes, a combination of Chinese and foreign themes, short and concise, romantic and relaxing. "Today I came here just for Lu Siqing. I heard the timeless classic "Butterfly Lovers" and 5 encores. I felt that today's concert was very worthwhile. Especially the encore at the end, the atmosphere of the audience was so great It was so lively that the musicians formed a strong emotional interaction with the audience, so they performed the songs again and again to give back to the fans," said Mr. Hou, a music lover from Tongzhou.
