In a world filled with deception and counterfeit, a song has emerged to shed light on the chaos around us. The lyrics of “Seeing Flowers in the Smoke”, sung by Na Ying, were written by Yan Su for the CCTV “March 15” party in 1993. The purpose of the song was to be an anti-counterfeit anthem, urging listeners to see through the fake and deceptive elements in our society.
Yan Su, the writer and lyricist behind the song, revealed that he was asked to create an “anti-counterfeiting song” for the event. Instead of being too direct, he cleverly masked the message within the lyrics, turning the themes of fake and bad into a powerful “song” that encouraged listeners to carefully identify the truth.
The music video for “Smoke and Mirrors” featured trendy special effects, including thunder and lightning. Na Ying, the singer of the song, shared that she had spent a significant sum to purchase special effects for the video, highlighting the importance of the message within the song.
As we approach the 315 party tomorrow, the question remains: who will the lightning strike? The lyrics of “Seeing Flowers in the Smoke” remind us to look closely at our world, to distinguish the real from the fake, and to see through the deception that surrounds us.
