This friend was sent to China`s Wild West. This city was the point of departure. Xu Fengxia uses a special singing style- the classical form of a poem recitation.

7. Concubines in the Inner Court (Xu Fengxia) In this original composition Xu Fengxia adapts some Peking opera singing. This song tells about all the young ladies sitting in the imperial palace- the Forbidden City-and waiting for their husband to come. But because there were so many of them they waited in vain most of the time.

8. Sleep well, little Child (traditional) A Lullaby from Northwest China.

9. Bao Yu`s rendezvous with Dai Yu The lyrics are based on an episode from China`s most famous novel, the "Dream of Red Mansion". Bao Yu is secretly meeting with his girlfriend Dai Yu- it´s almost like Romeo and Juliet. Xu Fengxia uses the singing style that is typical of the city of Suzhou, the "Pingtan" : a kind of recitativo which was used by storytellers coming to the tea houses. In most cases the Pingtan singing is accomponied by the sanxian (an instrument with three strings that sounds like a banjo sometimes and which Xu also masters). For most of her solo concerts Xu uses the guzheng to accompany.

Many of those compositions can be found on the Solo CD "Borderless Songs".
