Extended data:

Yu Boya likes music since he was a child. His teacher Cheng Lian once took him to Penglai Mountain in the East China Sea to appreciate the beauty and magic of nature, from which he realized the true meaning of music. He plays the piano, which sounds beautiful, like a mountain running water. Although many people praised his piano skills, he thought he had never met anyone who really understood his piano voice. He had been looking for his bosom friend, and then he met Zhong Ziqi.

After tearful parting with Zhong Ziqi, Yu Boya came to Hanyang estuary as promised, but he waited and waited, but Zhong Ziqi didn't come as promised, so he played the piano to summon his bosom friend, but after a long time, no one came.

The next day, Yu Boya asked an old man about Zhong Ziqi's whereabouts. The old man told him that Zhong Ziqi had died of illness. Before he died, he left his last words, saying that he would build the tomb by the river and listen to Yu Boya's piano when he met on August 15.

After listening to the old man's words, Yu Boya was very sad. He came to Zhong Ziqi's grave and sadly played the ancient song "Mountains and Streams". After playing, he broke the string, sighed and smashed his beloved lyre on the bluestone. He said sadly, my only confidant is dead. Who can I play this piano for? "
