Nan Er Wu Lei(A Man Sheds No Tears) is the official ending theme song of The Snow Is Red , a classic wuxia TV series produced by Hong Kong's Asia Television (ATV) in 1997. Composed by Xu Jialiang, with lyrics written by Xiao Sheng and Yang Shaohong, the track is performed by Yuan Wenjie, the leading actor of the series. This Cantonese song, characterized by its unique blend of masculinity and tenderness, has become an unforgettable wuxia classic soundtrack in the hearts of audiences born in the 1980s and 1990s.
More than just an ending theme, this song is also the iconic melody played on the bamboo flute by the female lead Mei Jiangxue (portrayed by Kristy Yang) in the series. It is alternatively titled The Soul-Stirring Flute of Cold Snow — an instrumental adaptation of A Man Sheds No Tears . Both pieces share the exact same core melody, differing only in their presentation. The flute melody echoes throughout the entire series, serving as a vital vehicle for expressing the characters' emotions. Shifting between stirring and mellow tones, the melody mirrors the inner struggles of the characters caught between martial arts morality and romantic love, perfectly echoing the wuxia theme of "a chivalrous heart with tender affection". This creative model of "one melody, two uses" has become a classic case in the history of Hong Kong TV series soundtrack composition.
This piece is scored in G major. It can be played on a low G-keyed bamboo flute or a G-keyed xiao using the fundamental note tuned to 5.
