Xiang Si(Yearning) is an iconic Chinese-style soundtrack in the Mandopop scene. Written by Zhao Xiaoyuan, composed by Sanbao, and performed by Mao Amin, it was officially released in 1998 as the ending theme song for the TV series Journey to the West: The Sequel . With its profound artistic conception and melodious tune, it has become a collective memory for generations and still maintains high popularity on major music platforms and short-video platforms to this day.
Tailor-made for the TV series Journey to the West: The Sequel , the song is deeply integrated with the plot and has become a nostalgic classic for people born in the 1980s and 1990s. Centered on the core imagery of "red beans", its lyric "Red beans grow in southern lands, a distant tale of yore" adapts the classic motif from Yearning , a poem by Wang Wei, a renowned poet of the Tang Dynasty. The song not only echoes the core conflicts of the drama—"love versus Buddhism, affection versus mission"—but also transcends the limitations of the screen. It expresses the longing and melancholy that span time and space, embodying both romantic regrets and life's sorrows, thus achieving a profound resonance between classical artistic conception and modern emotions.
