Our selection this week is a cover of the famous Wang Fei song of the same name. If you've spent any time in China we're sure you've heard the original version. But you may not have run into this cover yet, as recorded by Khalil Fong, an up-and-coming Chinese-American singer who is beginning to make waves in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

"No-one knows what Wang Fei was really writing about," Echo tried to explain to us. "It's about loneliness and pain, and wanting to be with someone who doesn't want you." There was silence as the room digested this. "I don't know what the bit about red bean stew is about, although red beans are symbols for missing someone in China," she added, "so it's suggestive even if it doesn't make sense literally."
