It was as if to metaphorize the plight of folk music, all lovers of this genre groping in the dark, unable to find a way out, could only cling to their guitars and let out a weak roar.
At the end of his performance, Yu Zhongyi received only 523 votes, firmly placing him at the bottom.
The live guitar performance indeed didn't have the best effect; even if all the folk music enthusiasts in the audience voted for him, the score wouldn't be too high.
By now, the two at the bottom had emerged: Xu Ou and Yu Zhongyi.
Among the seven, the last to perform, veteran Hou Xueheng, brought a classic old song. He had arranged it anew and invited an old friend to sing backup. The old song sung anew let the audience relive a classic.
The final tally reached an astounding 724 votes, practically unbeatable.
