Qian Nian Deng Yi Hui(Waiting for a Millennium) is a classic Chinese cinematic song in the Chinese music industry. Written by Chen Ziwei, composed by Zuo Hongyuan, and performed by Gao Shengmei, it gained wide recognition as the theme song of the 1992 hit ancient costume mythological drama The Legend of the White Snake and remains a collective memory for an entire generation.
The song centers on the poignant love story of Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian in the drama—"a love between a demon and a human, waiting for destiny across a millennium"—which not only echoes the mythological premise of "the White Snake's thousand-year cultivation" but also conveys perseverance and longing for true love, serving as an auditory symbol of the drama's spiritual core. Released alongside the drama, the song quickly became a sensation across the Chinese mainland, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, earning the title of "national golden song" in the 1990s and even gaining popularity in Southeast Asia. As of 2024, it has accumulated over 1 billion streams on major music platforms and been used in over 1 million secondary creations on short-video platforms, continuously attracting young audiences.
The sheet music is in the key of A♭. In bamboo flute playing, it can be performed with the closed-hole tone set as 5. However, a more common practice is to transpose the key up or down by one step and play it on a small A-key or small G-key bamboo flute.
