02:21

In a poetry and music concert at the Qomolangma base camp, Wang Luoyong's affectionate recitation, paired with the English version of the famous ancient Chinese essay "Chu Shi Biao," made us feel as if we were once again witnessing the brilliance of Zhuge Liang, a famous strategist from the Three Kingdoms era nicknamed Sleeping Dragon. Halfway through, another Zhuge Liang named Feng Mantian appeared! Feng Mantian and Wang Luoyong immediately hit it off on location and decided to improvise live accompaniment with the Ruan, a four-stringed Chinese musical instrument. This unique interpretation breathed new life into this millennium-old masterpiece, making it even more heart-wrenching!
