"The waterfall's mighty roar interweaves with our symphony, creating not just art, but a profound historical echo," says Sun Jing, a concertmaster with the Shanxi Symphony Orchestra. "The Yellow River is our mother river. Performing here, we commemorate history and inherit a spirit — unity, resilience, and relentless perseverance."

The performance featured powerful moments like a suona (double-reed horn) solo by virtuoso Feng Miaomiao. "The instrument's voice matches the waterfall's grandeur," Feng says. "As an artist, my heart swelled with pride. The audience's enthusiastic response was deeply moving — a genuine emotional connection. Their standing ovation was incredibly inspiring. We will continue to share beauty through music, letting more people experience the charm of the symphony and the depth of our national music."
