Background information on music:
Composed in 1933, 望春风is as Taiwanese as Bengawan Solo is Indonesian or as Arirang is Korean. In Y2000, 220,000 Taiwanese music lovers at the “A Century of Taiwanese Songs” festival voted this Taiwanese folk song for the honor of Most Popular Classic. It is a romantic ballad, about a young village girl yearning for the man of her dreams.
