Introduction to the work

The Narrow Path Meeting of Two Chivalrous Men is inspired by the martial arts novels in China. The work can be roughly divided into three parts: at the beginning, two men meet each other on a narrow path, thinking that the other man seems to have great skills, so they become passionate about competing with each other. After a few moves, both sides are a bit exhausted and have to meditate to recover their strength; the first to recover is waiting for a fight. Finally, the music reaches its climax in the midst of the two men's all-out fight, and gradually drifts away. The creation of the work pursues "fusion", which includes the fusion of pitch text and sound text, the fusion of Chinese and Western instruments, and the fusion of the virtual and the real in terms of aesthetics.
