Features: What is a love song? Is it the subtle and low humming of "A half-moon climbs up," or the bold and direct "I really want to be your inner garment, close to your heart"? Is it the sorrowful and melancholic "The camellias bloom vibrantly in both places, yearning day and night, yet meeting is rare," or the joyful and hearty "Millet in the east, beans in the west, the two of us are bound for life"? This book will tell you that a love song is not just a song, but also love and life itself.
