Last night one of my Chinese friends took me to a concert of Chinese folk music. The piece  was played on the erhu  (especial) moved me. The music was strangely beautiful, but under the beauty I  (sense) a strong sadness and pain. The piece had a simple name, Erquan Yingyue (Moon Reflected on Second Spring), but it was one of the most moving pieces of music  I've ever heard. The erhu sounded like someone crying, and I almost cried along with it as I listened. Later I looked up the history of Erquan Yingyue, and I began to understand the sadness in the music.

    The music was  (write) by Abing, a folk musician  was born in the city of Wuxi in 1893. His mother died  he was very young. Abing's father taught him to play many musical instruments, such as the drums, dizi and erhu, and by age 17, Abing was known  his musical ability. However, after his father died, Abing's life grew  (bad). He was very poor. Not only that, he developed a serious  (ill) and became blind. For several years, he had no home. He lived on the streets and played music to make money.  Even after Abing got married and had no home again, he continued to sing and play on the streets. He performed in this way for many years.
