Hearing Qing Fei De Yi by Harlem Yu instantly takes me back to my childhood. In 2003, when Meteor Garden became a massive hit in the Philippines, I was just 7 years old, completely captivated by the story of Shan Cai and Dao Ming Si. Like many Filipinos, this song became a huge part of my memories, and even as I grew up, I kept rewatching the series, reliving the emotions every time.
Covering this song on kalimba was like stepping into a time machine. The soft, dreamy tones of the kalimba bring a fresh yet nostalgic feel to the song, reminding us of the excitement, heartbreak, and kilig moments that Meteor Garden gave us. It’s amazing how just a few notes can transport us back to those simpler times when we all wished we had our own F4 love story.
If this song holds a special place in your heart too, I’d love for you to listen to my kalimba cover. Watch it on YouTube and let’s relive the Meteor Garden magic together!
