On the old railway platform, a train slowly drove out of the platform, and the sparks on the rails flickered in the afterglow of the sunset.

The roar of the train and the friction between the wheels and the rails gradually became weak, replaced by the long whistle, which echoed over the empty fields, carrying a trace of reluctance and endless longing.

There is also Xia Ziyuan's voice in it, although it is still in English, but people who are familiar with it can hear it at once.

A few simple lyrics are full of power, like the rhythm of the train, carrying the heart of the traveler, crossing time and space.

The audience can feel the distance, the bitterness of parting, and the attachment to home.

Every "a hundred miles" is like a heartbeat, and every echo of the whistle is a call for home.

"Lord I'm one, lord I'm two

(Lord I'm one hundred miles away, two hundred miles away)

lord I'm three, lord I'm four

(Lord I'm three hundred miles away, four hundred miles away)

lord I'm five hundred miles away from home

(I'm five hundred miles away from home without realizing it)

away from home, away from home

(Leave home, leave home)

away from home, away from home

(Leave home, leave home)

lord I'm five hundred miles away from home

(Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home)"

This song, like a train traveling through time and space, carries the emotions of the audience and drives to a distant place.

As the song progresses, the mood of the audience also fluctuates.

They think of their journeys, the trains they have missed, the moments of parting, and the insights and growth they have gained during the journey.

The accompaniment in the middle is even more soul-stirring.

"Not a shirt on my back

(I am ragged)

not a penny to my name

(I am penniless)

lord I can’t go back home this a-way

(Oh my God, how can I go home when I am so miserable)

This a-way, this a-way

(So miserable, so miserable)

This a-way, this a-way

(So miserable, so miserable)

lord I can’t go back home this a-way

(Oh my God, how can I go home when I am so miserable)

…"

The lyrics describe the hardships and helplessness of a person wandering outside.

New voices are constantly added to it, which is the chorus.

As the song gradually comes to an end, the singing and accompaniment slowly fade away, leaving the audience with deep thoughts and endless aftertaste.

"The Chinese translation is so beautiful!"

"How far is 500 miles? Is it so sad?"

"You don't understand. Why sing it in English? Foreign countries are not like us. The places are small. 500 miles may have covered many countries."

"What you said makes sense. A country in the West is not as big as a city in our country. 500 miles has indeed gone abroad."

"No wonder it is sung in English."

"I can actually sing this song by looking at the English!"

"Me too. This song seems to be much simpler."

"..."

The focus of domestic fans is slightly different from that of foreign fans.

"What a great song, I like this style, folk songs are the most touching songs."

"A song that can touch the soul, great!"

"Hide the tears and reluctance deep in my heart, and just say goodbye to you gently."

"Life can be wandering, but the soul must have a place to return to."

"Oh my God, how can I go home when I am so miserable!"

"I didn't expect this song to be written by a Chinese, beautiful, so beautiful!"

"..."
