Appreciation of the song "Knife and Horse Dan":

From the melody and rhythm of the song, it is full of modernity, especially Jay Chou's Rap part, which pushes the whole song to the climax with its unique tone and smooth rhythmic sense. And Coco Lee's vocals were excellent, her voice both powerful and tender, conveying the emotion of the song to the fullest.

In addition, the song's arrangement was excellent. Lin Maike's arrangement perfectly combines traditional instruments with modern musical elements, retaining the flavor of traditional opera while injecting the vitality of modern music. This unique arrangement adds more layers and depth to the song.

Fang's lyrics are also a highlight of the song. The lyrics are full of thoughts and feelings about life, fate and love, giving people profound insights. The lyrics "I'm still in Hong Kong in the morning" express the impermanence and uncertainty of life through simple language, making people feel the transience and preciousness of life.
