wow i have seen a blind man in Australia playing the chinese violin, and it was so gracefull and beautifull. This erthu is a type of violin right, but i just see 2 strings only, sorry i cant play any instruments at all. I have spent my life in remote places in australia, with most times just a radio to listen to. Its just lately i can access the internet and appreciate so many peoples talent and passion. So thank you very much for this experiance in my lifes journy. chas
After being a guitar player for the past 30 plus years, I am buying an Ehru as soon as I can I just fell in love with it's beautiful sound. I just hope that I can do it justice!!!!
THE POWER OF THIS CREATION IS SURELY ENOUGH TO FUEL OUR BROTHER AND SISTERHOODS, AND REMIND US THAT WE ALL SHARE THE SAME MOTHER. EARTH MOTHER YOUR CHILDREN ARE HERE. I FOR ONE SHALL TRY UNTIL I DIE.
One was a flower from paradise. One was a pure jade without spot or stain If each for the other one was not intended then why in this life did they meet again? If fate had meant them for each other why was their earthly meeting all in vain? In vain were all her sighs, tears.and his anxious fears. All,insubstantial,doomed to pass. As moonlight mirrored in the water, flowers reflected in a glass. How many tears from those poor eyes could flow Which every season rained upon her woe?
This is a great example of emotional playing of the Erhu. The title of the song is very appropriate "Love in vain.." and it should actually say "Sad and Melodic Music".
Chinese instrument can tell story，strongest emotion express ability ，like guzheng pipa dizi erhu dongxiao even suona ，very different from violin piano and guitar ，you may couldn't understand chinese civilization but the music is the same language to all human，we are not discribed like eastern media 。the more you went in china ，the more you love it。
another version by David Hawkes：枉凝眉HOPE BETRAYED One was a flower from paradise, One a pure jade without spot or stain。 If each of the other one was not intended, Then why in this life did they meet again? And yet if fate had meant them for each other, why was their earthly meeting all in vain? In vain were all his anxious fears: All, insubstantial, doomed to pass,
yes, it is from that masterpiece. the lyrics of the song can be translated as follow: translated by杨宪益: 枉凝眉：VAIN LONGING One is an immortal flower of fairyland, The other fair flawless jade, And were it not predestined, Why should they meet again in this existence? Yet, if predestined, Why does their love come to nothing?
Me fascina el sonido increíble del erhu. Esta canción en especial es tan dulce y triste a la vez. La entrega absoluta de la ejecutante a su instrumento es excelente. Además verla me recuerda a Jan, uno de los personajes de la novela autobiográfica de Anchee ¿Min? -Azalea Roja-, quien tocaba el erhu magistralmente. Ella tocaba una canción cuyo nombre era El Río. ¿Existirá esa canción?
thnxx for responding but i went to google and typed in erhu performance sad and melody and other things yet they let me see someone called yuan ? srry for the asking but here name hu hung right? i type that in but still nothing ... maybe im doing something wrong:S
translation to English: I love the amazing sound of the erhu. This particular song is so sweet and sad at the same time. The total commitment of the performer to his instrument is excellent. Also see reminds me of Jan, one of the characters in the autobiographical novel by Anchee Min?? -Red Azalea, who played the erhu masterfully. She played a song whose name was River. Will there be that song?
mis mas sinceros respetos, gracias por compartir esta musica, no se como se llama la persona que toca la pipa, pero que bellos acordes gracias y espero subas mas temas como este muchas gracias.
@12tongtech @rzsdth007 紅樓夢 枉凝眉 If u translate these 2 parts u can read them like: 紅樓 = Hong Lou = Red Mansion 眉 = Meng = Dream or A dream of red mansions (a novel wrote by Cao Xueqin) about the second part 枉凝眉, i cant find a good explanation 枉 Wang: Means useless, in vain. 凝 Ning: To frezze 眉 Mei: Eyebrows So it doesnt make any sense o.o Hope this helps you, and sry if my english is not too good :D
Me too as very rare I post comment but: That's really so lovely, what fantastic playing, what amazing style, what beautiful music background, even the film making is wonderful. Thank you for sharing this.
Excellent erhu playing, but the whole piece could have done a lot better without all the cheap synths doing the percussion etc. in the background. Makes it sound like some kind of 80s karaoke track.
so bbeautiful..... i tried to search this song i typed Hu Hung but it doesnt work T_T do you know what this song is called? :S want to download it on my mp4 :$
This is one of the best Erhu music I've ever listen to,great melody and the best player,many thanks.Where can I buy CD or VCD from in US ? Thank you, 12 tongtech, for sharing this outstanding gem.
I FOUND YOUR NAME IN CHINESE ERHU (VIDEO TRACK 04) YOUR NAME IS Mrs. HU HUNG ) IS THAT RIGHT ? YOUR ERHU INSTRUMENT ALMOST SIMILAR TO LU YI FEI, DO YOU LIVE CLOSE TO HER MRS HU HUNG?
I just love traditional Chinese music, not only because I am a New Zealand/Chinese, but I always have loved this music on the traditional instruments. On Thursday night we went to the Wuhan Chinese acrobatic and cultural Troupe. Absolutely beautiful and stunning performances.

Like the Romeo and Juliet,but Romeo and Juliet are prevented by the hostile attitude of the two families,in this Chinese story,they are arranged by parents of political and some property,even views of the other relatives.
Yu Hong Mei a true erhu master. There are words to this melody, and it is true, they diminish the beauty. The voice and soul of this erhu in her hands is overwhelming. I lost my love(RIP Ardyth)at too young of age-she lives in this melody. Not "love in vain", she was love in perfection. Thank you honey.
NO, she is not Mrs. Yu Hong Mei. this erhu player is Mrs. Hu Hung.if I don't make mistake. Mrs. Yu Hong Mei ist a Professor at Beijing Chinese traditional Music University.
This is most beatiful. How sad your heart feels in a state of aloneness; knowing we are not alone because be have loving beings watching over us that love us deeply and will not let harm come to us in the expericing of life. But we tend to forget. Love to those caring beings we do have here on this earth plain to help us when we forget.
English Translation：
one is a fairy flower,
one is a flawless jade,
if it is not the fate
why should they meet?
yet,if it is the fate,
why is their love in vain?
he sighs,
she yearns in vain;
one is the moon in the water,
one a flower in the mirror.
how many tears are there in her eyes?
can they weep from autumn till winter,
from spring till summer!
not a talent solution but you can try to feel the sad and hopeless mood of the two lovers,their relationship are objected by both families

beautiful song
The Artist is as Beautiful as the music.
Wow, this is so sad and so beautiful!!!!
I wish it was just the Erhu and no background music.
you don't like the tremolo picking? It's adds intensity and depth
+Jahka I think they are talking about the background drums and other chords and stuff and not just what Erhu is playing
Please, I need you help. I need to have this background music. Where I could be have one? Web page. Link please. Do you know?
I've recently fallen in love with the sound of the erhu. It makes such beautiful music..i wish i could play it!
Beautiful beautiful music in world.
An absolutely beautiful piece of music played with Erhu. An inspiration to those of us learning to play the Erhu 😃
This is a great example of emotional playing of the Erhu. The title of the song is very appropriate "Love in vain.." and it should actually say
"Sad and Melodic Music".
two strings, the instrument is called erhu, in this name 'er' means 'two' in chinese
Es una belleza...simplemente precioso...espiritual...incomparable como su interprete
Listen sad but happy,Thanks
梦醒时分叹红尘 美玉无瑕
多少年了，每次重听旧曲，都会勾起遥远的回忆。泪眼婆娑。
It has been said that while a violin whines . . . . an erhu weeps.
nice
Please, I need you help. I need to have this background music. Where I could be have one? Web page. Link please. Do you know?
This song`s name is 枉凝眉
Chinese instrument can tell story，strongest emotion express ability ，like guzheng pipa dizi erhu dongxiao even suona ，very different from violin piano and guitar ，you may couldn't understand chinese civilization but the music is the same language to all human，we are not discribed like eastern media 。the more you went in china ，the more you love it。
love this .so sad, makes me remember of past yrs
Please don't bring it back.it only hurts more if they where bad .
Past past sweet or sour. It's the past.
Sounds beautiful. 😢
another version by David Hawkes：枉凝眉HOPE BETRAYED
One was a flower from paradise,
One a pure jade without spot or stain。
If each of the other one was not intended,
Then why in this life did they meet again?
And yet if fate had meant them for each other,
why was their earthly meeting all in vain?
In vain were all his anxious fears:
All, insubstantial, doomed to pass,
Thanks, good sir
I love this music
Wow, beautiful
枉凝眉 wang ning mei
So beautiful!
Even after many years I still find myself listening to this timeless piece. Absolutely beautiful
Same. I wish i could find a whole album of this artist.
que hermoso sonido para mis oídos... que espectacular toca.. :)
此曲只应天上有，人间能得几回闻
Who else is here because of RŮDE
yes, it is from that masterpiece. the lyrics of the song can be translated as follow:
translated by杨宪益: 枉凝眉：VAIN LONGING
One is an immortal flower of fairyland,
The other fair flawless jade,
And were it not predestined,
Why should they meet again in this existence?
Yet, if predestined,
Why does their love come to nothing?
I am SO getting one of these for Melodic Death Metal.

Pretty sure this is a zhonghu not an erhu but they're both awesome.
Hermoso
She plays so good, I listen this song over and over and never get bore!
The instrument looks so simple, but to play it seems so difficult..

紅樓夢 枉凝眉
If u translate these 2 parts u can read them like:
紅樓 = Hong Lou = Red Mansion
眉 = Meng = Dream
or A dream of red mansions (a novel wrote by Cao Xueqin)
about the second part 枉凝眉, i cant find a good explanation
枉 Wang: Means useless, in vain.
凝 Ning: To frezze
眉 Mei: Eyebrows
So it doesnt make any sense o.o
Hope this helps you, and sry if my english is not too good :D
Me too as very rare I post comment but:
That's really so lovely, what fantastic playing, what amazing style, what beautiful music background, even the film making is wonderful.
Thank you for sharing this.
gangsters will always play erhu!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent erhu playing, but the whole piece could have done a lot better without all the cheap synths doing the percussion etc. in the background. Makes it sound like some kind of 80s karaoke track.
It's the hauntingly beautiful song from Honglou meng

I found this musician named Yu Hong Mei on Amazon Music who is also very good but I don't believe it is the same person.

I just love traditional Chinese music, not only because I am a New Zealand/Chinese, but I always have loved this music on the traditional instruments. On Thursday night we went to the Wuhan Chinese acrobatic and cultural Troupe. Absolutely beautiful and stunning performances.

I might be seeing things, but did she play this with ONE string only????? O.O
It's dark, but this is just a tunnel".
it would be way better if it was just her playing without beat in background
@rzsdth007 Try copy and pasting it in a translator website, it might work.
@guitarhamster102 It takes time and patience. Press on! I am a beginner in erhu let's work hard tgt =)
@rzsdth007 Chinese name was display at the beginning. I do not know or I do not think that it has a English.PS let me know if you found out.
>very dramatic melody.. :)) what kind of instrument is she playin' ??
Un gran saludo desde Tlaxcala en México. Que sea la cultura un medio de compartir, un gran abrazo.
I love the crying sound of Erhu, one of best instruments in the world.
How come when I play erhu, I don't sound like this? =( sad face
mjnh da tuong nghe bai nay cung nguoi yeu ay ; nhu ma nang ay mot di ko tro ve / biet lan sao day ?
Like the Romeo and Juliet,but Romeo and Juliet are prevented by the hostile attitude of the two families,in this Chinese story,they are arranged by parents of political and some property,even views of the other relatives.
Anyone know the real name of this song in English?
Yu Hong Mei a true erhu master. There are words to this melody, and it is true, they diminish the beauty. The voice and soul of this erhu in her hands is overwhelming. I lost my love(RIP Ardyth)at too young of age-she lives in this melody. Not "love in vain", she was love in perfection. Thank you honey.
NO, she is not Mrs. Yu Hong Mei. this erhu player is Mrs. Hu Hung.if I don't make mistake.
Mrs. Yu Hong Mei ist a Professor at Beijing Chinese traditional Music University.

one of the best songs i've ever heard.
