The composition was thus written to honor Wuhan's representative instruments and mourn the deceased.

The 12 large gongs used in the concert in Shanghai were transported from Wuhan as well, according to Tan.

"I hope the work bridges Wuhan to the world, and represents harmonious coexistence between human and nature."

The concert also included the work Rebirth of Heaven and Earth: Happy Birthday, which was composed and conducted by Tan to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the hall, as well as Fanfare Overture, a rearrangement of Johann Bach's Prelude in C Major that signifies the meaning of birth, rebirth and the everlasting cycle of life.
