Thank you Mr Ba...u, for bringing this beautiful, melodic Chinese song here.
Mr Jay Chou is indeed a talented musician, & it seems like he once belonged to a past era in China, as most of his songs were inspired life in ancient China & often accompanied by ancient China musical instruments such as the Gu Zheng, flutes, etc, thus his lyrics seems 'cheem' by some..
Perhaps it has to do with the Buddhist beliefs in REINCARNATION, that somehow, we Humans will return back to Earth, some trapped with past memories, to complete one's deepest desires, either as a mere cockroach with a merciful lifespan of a year before being reborn again or as an upright Human with a lifespan of 100yrs thru one's meritorious or lack of such deeds in previous lives...
Ultimately, regardless if such beliefs are real or not as there is NO scientific facts on REINCARNATION. A mortal is gifted with the precious gift of life & free will, to live this life as best as one can without harming others & there lays immortality - to be remembered by grateful generations to come.
Each has only one life to live, thus treasure it & make it meaningful to oneself & loved ones.
No mortal is perfect & it is only thru mistakes that we learn, to correct them, to progress, survive & evolve & leave regrets far behind us, no matter how beautiful a porcelain vase metaphor one once had, as no material goods or that emotional Human life is a bed of roses forever, may be or subscribe to the hopes of unproven reincarnation or await for a better next life on Earth ......
We Humanity DO have the power to make this life alone right for oneself & loved ones to come, & it lays by working TOGETHER to achieve life's dreams & hopes for all..Such is how Civilization is built & the sacrifices of forefathers who gave us our todays..
