Last night I went to a concert of Chinese folk music with my Chinese friends. A piece of music named Erquan Yingyue   (Moon Reflected on Second Spring) deeply moved me. It was one of the most     1     pieces of music I’ve ever heard. It sounded so sad     2     I almost cried along with it as I listened. Later I got to know the music was     3     by a folk musician Abing. Today it has become one of China’s national treasures. However, the road to his success was not easy. His mother died when he was young. His father taught him to play many musical instruments. By age 17, he     4     his talent in music.     5    , his father died. What was worse, he developed a serious illness and became blind. He had no choice but to perform     6     to make money. His excellent skills made him popular     7     his lifetime. He played and wrote many pieces of music. When we listen to his music, we can sense the     8     and sadness in it. It makes us     9     the wounds and pain we have experienced. For this reason, many people praise him as the musician who has greatly influenced erhu music. So it’s     10     a pity that not many pieces of his music were recorded.
