The Gong Xi Gong Xi Lunar Song Has Tragic History

Chen Gexin was a famous Chinese songwriter and music composer. During wartime, he was imprisoned by the Imperial Japanese Army for composing patriotic songs. After enduring all the hardships and torture, China won the war and he composed the song 'Gong Xi Gong Xi'.

Some people said in the song, Chen used a minor key as it usually represents sadness and loneliness as it was used as a memorial for the soldiers and people sacrificed in the war.
