life – Skyline Traveler

One of my favourite instrumental music pieces

If my memory serves right, it was approximately 11 years ago, when I heard a song called “The brightest star in the night sky” played by a band named The Escape Plan. This song touched me a lot since it had pure lyrics and a melodious tune. It didn’t like other pop songs including too much content about romantic love or some unmeaningful repeated lyrics. Since then, I learned and listened to almost all of their songs. I understood it is possible that a song does not need too much content about romantic love, besides, people can express a sea of emotions in music, say, love for people, love for everything. Additionally, there are numerous kinds of music except for pop music, for instance, Rock, Jazz, Classical and so on. I’m currently an avid fan of Rock as Rock represents countless stuff I adore， such as love, freedom, liberty, independence…

Let’s get back to the business. As a massive fan of The Escape Plan, I searched tons of their music videos on many video platforms including Bilibili and Youku, unfortunately, some of them were removed later. What impressed me most was a music documentary entitled 66°N, this video told the journey that The Escape Plan travelled from Beijing to Norway by plane and cruise, and then they performed several shows on the ship they took. Actually, this was a commercial because some noted enterprises invited them and paid them the necessary expenses on the journey, as far as I know, BMW, SAS and LeTV Music were their sponsors. I was fond of all the music that appeared in this documentary. I found their names and saved them in music apps, but there was only one piece of background music that I could not know its exact name or author. Apparently, this problem bothered me for so long.

A few years later, I just scrolled through social media and I watched this video again, I posted a comment with a try-it attitude. I asked people who knew the name of the melody on that duration, then I forgot about that. Miraculously, today I found someone replied to my comment and gave the exact title of that music, I am over the moon! What a wonderful experience! What’s more, this piece of instrumental music is named Beautiful Wonder, I’m so pleased to dedicate it to all those who love music.

A travel vlog to Tibet

Actually, I collected many videos and photos to make this vlog. I may have taken over 20 hours or more on image and video editing. When I found the photos and videos I took at that time, many experiences from that time came to my mind, which were very interesting and unforgettable. I believe that life is an adventure. I’m looking forward to my next trip and I hope life will always be on the journey.

Some feelings of mine a few days ago.

A car parking at the lakeside of Peiku-tso, taken by Bob.

It was a Saturday. I went downtown by metro to meet my friend. I felt some strange or cheerful feelings when I was at the exchange station. There were many people at that station, I think the number of passengers was much more than before. When I was wearing headphones playing some soothing songs and walking through the pathway in the station, the crowd came towards me . That was a strange scene and reminded me of some scenes in movies. As if the time around me had slowed down and people’s movements had become slow. I felt warm and positive.

Actually, there was a well-known exhibition in Chengdu a few days ago. Thousands of people flushed here, that’s why I saw so many people. I haven’t seen so many people in person since the epidemic and I think it’s a good phenomenon and it represents a positive trend in the economic area.

That night, I told my university classmate about this trifle and I said “I’m tired because I walked too long today.”. He said, “I typed a lot of words and then I silently deleted them.”. Hahaha, turned out he was trying to comfort me as he saw the word ‘tired’ and he thought I was in trouble. I managed to fool him.
