Qian Si Xi(Silken Strands of Fate) was written by Vagary, composed and performed by Yin Lin and Aki Ajie. First released on the 5sing original music platform in 2015, it was later included in Yin Lin's album Decaying Grass Glows as Firefly , standing as an iconic track from the golden age of Chinese gufeng music. Blending operatic singing with pop arrangements, taking "puppet show" as its cultural carrier, and featuring narrative lyrics, the song is hailed by fans as "an Oriental fable told through music".
Deeply inspired by traditional puppet theater, Silken Strands of Fate tells a tear-jerking story: in a dilapidated temple on a snowy night, a ragged old artist and his meticulously crafted puppet depend on each other for survival. Eventually, driven by the severe cold, he throws the puppet into the fire to keep warm, only to witness the puppet "rise gracefully and bow farewell" in the flames—a poignant scene. On the surface, the song depicts the bond between a puppeteer and his puppet, but it metaphorically implies "bondage and domination, restriction and obedience" in human relationships, triggering listeners' profound reflection on giving and return in love and family ties.
