played on the erhu especially moved me.The music was strangely beautiful,but under the

Second Spring",but it was one of the most moving pieces of music that I've ever heard.The
erhu sounded like it was crying,and I almost cried along with it as I listened.After that,I
looked up its history.I began to understand the sadness in the music.
[2]The music was written by Abing,a folk musician who was born in the city of Wuxi
in 1893.Just one year later,his mother died.Abing's father taught him to play many musical
instruments,such as the drums,dizi and erhu,and by age 17,Abing was known for his
musical ability.However,after his father's (74)2,Abing's life grew worse.He had no
home and he was very poor.Besides,he caught a serious illness and became blind.For
several years,he lived on the streets and made money by playing music.He continued to
sing and play on the streets even after getting married and having a home again.He
performed in this way for many years.
[3]Abing's amazing musical skills made him very popular during his lifetime.By the
end of his life,he could play over 600 pieces of music,many of which he wrote himself.
