Qian Li Zhi Wai otherwise known as Faraway.
A lovely song btw Jay Chou and Fei Yu Qing. Its not only a nice contrast of voices, where the crisp and clear Fei Yu Qing contrasts with the mumblings of Jay. But both work perfectly in the sound of RnB mixing with China Wind-style music.
I prefer the Jay voice a little bit more. But whats is nice is the mixing of the duet. There is intermingling of the lyrics in the second repeat. But what is nicest about this song is the MTV. Its such a heartbreaking MV. I like the girl in the MV. Though i must add, reminds me a little bit of those cutesy types, a la jolin tsai. But what is touching about the music video is the fact that Jay holds onto the pink hankerchief that she leaves with him after she has been bought over by laowais to perform. I just like the 3 years later part.
But its like so Old Shanghai. Which i had the chance to visit last few years. The famous Peace hotel which is simply just beautiful. A little like Raffles Hotel in Singapore, It's along the Bund which is now lined with every single fashion label known to mankind. But what is the most beautiful about the Peace Hotel is that they have this bar, which has those those classical chinese singers warbling out those ancient radio tunes that maybe foreign to your ear but is so in tune with the hotel and its environs. The bar itself has those traditionally chinese chairs of the old yesteryears and everything remains unchanged. Just like those TV shows you see now and then about old Shanghai.
Don't know what you guys think of the song. But I think its a really nice MV, with good story line and plot coupled with a pretty actress to boot.
