Back on 2007, Sam-Gup-Shui Studio had worked on a Hakka song for 228 Commemorative Concert. We did try with several composers before Lynn Huang's trial...Just in one week, Lynn called Josephine and I to listen to her piece...and we called Mrs. Du-Pan Fan-Ger, who writes the poem. She told us "YES" after a long silence...We then called Principle Chang Chiu-Tai for his opinion about the song. The answer is another firm Yes. Due to the conflict of schedule, we cannot make it over DC for the performance, and we had this song's World Premiere at our 228-60 Commemorative Concert at Los Angeles on 2/28/2007. Mater Huang Min-Yuan's Trumpet Solo and Half-Step Chorus' beautiful performance enhance this first ever Hakka song composed for the historical 228.
Hearty appreciation to Mr. Don Lin - the following link is the missing piece of our great memory.
Hui-Ju did share with her excitement right after her performance...but we were not able to feel her heart back then...now, with this video, it says it all.
