Unlike other songs, the prelude to "The Final Battle" is very long, with nearly forty seconds at the beginning consisting almost entirely of the sounds of artillery shelling, explosions, and machine-gun fire on the battlefield.
Listening to that familiar music, Han Yu felt as if he had returned to the battlefields of bygone days. He quietly cleared his throat, lifted the microphone, and began to sing along:
"Amidst the rattling of machine-gun fire, we search for a trench to shield us
The sandcastles of our childhood, destroyed and rebuilt just fine
But that blood-stained military coat of yours, riddled with bullet holes
Can't even hold up hands in prayer..."
As die-hard fans of Jay Chou, Tang Yiyi and Meng Yuanyuan were naturally familiar with "The Final Battle."
The song has a melodious rhythm, but its lyrics are difficult to sing. Besides Jay Chou's unique rap rhythm, it also requires control over one's breathing and emotions. Singing it well is extraordinarily difficult.
