3. CCTV Weather Forecast Theme Song - Reportedly the only unaltered background music ever used by a television station, continuously used by the Weather Forecast program. Adapted from the traditional piece "Fishing Boats Sing at Dusk" by Shanghai-based electronic keyboardist Pu Qizhang. She was once a solo performer with the Shanghai Ensemble and graduated from the "Little Star" Art Troupe, collaborating with the Shanghai Light Music Orchestra on many popular tunes such as "Happy Dai Countryside." Composer Tu Bahai often collaborated with her. After this piece was completed, Pu Qizhang retired from the music scene. However, the piece gained widespread popularity in China due to its adoption as the background music for the prime-time program "Weather Forecast." When Pu Qizhang adapted this piece using a Yamaha concert electronic keyboard with three rows of keys, she did not anticipate that it would become the golden background music for a prime-time show or influence so many people.

12. Song From A Secret Garden - From the first album of Secret Garden, "Songs From A Secret Garden." It is said that this song can evoke deep sadness, making listeners feel lost in a mysterious forest, dark without seeing the sky, unable to find an exit, sinking into such darkness, sitting alone under the shadow of a roadside tree, quietly watching people come and go, unseen by others and not wanting to be seen, fearing and feeling lonely, knowing it's not good, but only then does the wounded heart feel a bit safe, such loneliness continues to tempt...

At that moment, I feared any hatred or malice in my heart, even a little would prevent me from encountering the beauty in the music. Years later, our silent selves are like untold stories, will they condense into a tear in our hearts? Or will they evaporate under the sun of reality, leaving nothing behind. At least I have cried for you silently, peacefully, soundlessly, painfully, in a corner untouched by time, where rose hearts gradually age.
