It is an exploration of the combination of Western techniques and Chinese culture. The conductor was Jin Yukuang, an alumnus of Shanghai Conservatory of Music and a "post-2000" conductor.

At the premiere ceremony, Liao Changyong cited He Luting's 1934 publication "The Era of Music and Art". He Luting believes that a successful artist must not only have mature skills, but also have an extremely keen sense of the times and be able to grasp the center of the times. Liao Changyong said: "The spirit of He Lao inspires the younger generation to continue the red blood, and hopes that everyone can jointly inherit and develop the red music culture, so that the classical music works of He Lao will continue to shine with the light of the times after a hundred years."
