When I entered the Manhattan School of Music, I felt great pressure living and studying away from home. Then I began to compose pieces, like writing diaries. Each piece is inspired by my own experience or the true stories of friends around.

She was older than me and went to the United States first, and she was the main reason that I chose to go to the States. When we later broke up, I felt so sad and frustrated and wrote this piece. The song describes the mood of a sad man sitting in front of the sea, willing to cry.

She was so lonely and grieving, which moved me to write 'Tears'.

Books are acts of composition: you compose them. You make music: the music is called fiction.
