The Eight Immortals are considered to be signs of prosperity and longevity, so they are popular themes in ancient and medieval art. Among the literature on the subject, one of the work made during the Ming Dynasty (c. 14th–15th centuries) is called \u003cem\u003eThe Eight Immortals Cross the Sea\u003c\/em\u003e. It is about the Immortals on their way to attend the Conference of the Magical Peach when they encounter an ocean. Instead of relying on their clouds to get them across, Lü Dongbin suggested that they each should exercise their unique powers to get across. Derived from this, the Chinese proverb \"The Eight Immortals cross the sea, each reveals its divine powers\" indicates the situation that everybody shows off their skills and expertise to achieve a common goal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ein the composition, the eight players who each musically represent one of the legendary Immortals depict a more abstract and loose-structured picture of the story. The music takes over its own logic beyond the inspiration and focuses on the collaborative and dramatic elements represented in the story. It also treats the \"sea\" as an equally important aspect to present the relationship between individual Immortals (each musician) and the Sea (composite sound world contributed by the entire ensemble).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Shuying Li Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45031572963407,"sku":"SLM1008","price":75.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/c0266969a9d29e7950a27feb3d3d7fba.jpg?v=1774925666"},{"product_id":"li-fused-shuying-li-music","title":"Li: Fused","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/shuying-li\"\u003eShuying Li (1989-)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eSaxophone, Electronics\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fused (2025)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-width\"\u003e8.9\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan class=\"book-length\"\u003e11.8\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns\"\u003e \u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"feature_divider\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eCommissioned by Carrie Koffman, \u003cem\u003eFused\u003c\/em\u003e is a seven-minute work for solo saxophone and fixed media that navigates the complex, non-linear landscape of grief and shared loss.

However, as a composer born and grew up in China, my understanding of Kung Fu was somewhat ambiguous. True, Kung Fu has a strong link with Martial Arts, which has attracted hundreds of thousands of admirers and followers worldwide. However, on the other hand, Kung Fu has become an umbrella term that has come to encompass many aspects of Chinese people's daily lives, such as popular culture, exercise regimens, interpersonal relationships, aesthetics, philosophies, and so on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was not until I encountered a documentary on Bruce Lee's journey with Kung Fu and Hollywood that I started to comprehend the core spirit that Kung Fu has in guiding one's endeavors and life pursuits.

A more general summary of the Wushu spirit in the first movement, a contrasting second movement focusing on the soft yet powerful Tai Chi, both lead to the final movement of \"Jiang Hu.\" As Bruce Rusk, a professor in the Department of Asian Studies at the University of British Columbia, interpreted, \"Jianghu...refers to a social space in which people are away from familial and local ties for extended periods that are governed by informal rules (officials away from home are not in jianghu). I couldn't find a good catchall translation. in this case, it could be \"the scene,\" as Kaiser Kuo suggests, or even \"everyone\" (implicitly, everyone involved in martial arts).\" Jianghu, in this case, is also a representation of my ultimate understanding of Kung Fu. It represents a universal rule, belief, and practice rooted in all of us.
