A Country's sorrow .....

..... a Cantonese operatic song.

Li Yu or Li Houzhu was the last ruler of the Southern Tang Kingdom. The powerful armies of the Song Dynasty invaded the Southern Tang Kingdom and took Li Houzhu and his family captive. Before they were taken away, Li and his second wife bade farewell to their subjects.


李後主之去國歸降




四十年來家國
三千里地山河
鳳閣龍樓連宵漢
玉樹瓊枝作煙籮
家傾國破恨綿綿


Do you know who the singers are?

Fr: Thanks for the wonderful postings througout the years. Keep them up.

I have a question: Sometime ago, I read in your blog which you wrote about the use of the word WOULD. I would like to read it again. I had browsed through your 2008 and 2009 postings, but could find it.

Could you direct me there? Many thanks.
