As the accompaniment's final notes faded, Ye Chen closed his eyes and only then emerged from the emotions of the song.
Holding the microphone, Ye Chen addressed the camera. "Next, I'll bring you the final song, I Remember. It's a folk song about mothers. I hope you'll enjoy it."
The gentle, soothing accompaniment began.
Ye Chen sang in a deep, heartfelt voice: "I carried luggage heavier than my body and swam to the bottom of the Nile. After a few flashes of lightning, I saw a halo of light. I wasn't sure if this was the place. I saw several people standing together, holding scissors as they cut away my luggage. They wiped my head clean. There was no chance to go back.
"Then I heard a voice—I knew it was you. But how could you remember me? I brought a message from another world, but how could I tell you? We were destined to meet with our memories lost. I remember this was a grove, with a hillside behind it. When autumn came, the jujube trees on the hillside would fill our pockets with fruit. I remember that, besides being friends, I was also your uncle. You always liked to follow right behind me, just for those few copper coins..."
The clean, beautiful guitar accompaniment and gentle, soothing rhythm blended with Ye Chen's deep, heartfelt, clear voice, making the song all the more moving.

"This is so good! This song is incredible!"
