Chou, famous for his roles in the Zhang Yimou -directed Curse of the Golden Flower and initial D, said the song was a new change for him．“I think the feeling of the electric guitars is a little stronger than just using the piano，” Chou said．“If listeners from Europe and America hear this kind of music，I hope it can make them jump back a little!”（2）

The Song blends（混合）Chou's traditional Chinese sounds with rock and electric instrument．（3）

His song says：“A long journey，countless nights，waiting for a clear moon，on the border of dreams．the wind blows ceaselessly，never feeling tired，the East is worthy，who is number one，let us pursue perfection。”
