I'm a Chinese student who immigrated to the US. This song is what my ex-gf, family name Lei, from junior year undergraduate sat to me during a Karaoke contest at the University of Texas. I only spoke mandarin and Shanghainese, couldn't understand 红茶馆, the other song was this 味道 which I was able to understand because it's in mandarin, but the whole floor stood up and gave her a standing ovation. I remember the folks in front of me turned to me and say "你好运气啊”(you are so lucky). Indeed, I was so mesmerized that I was semi-paralyzed, didn't know what to do with my hands or should I go to her. But as much as we loved each other, life got in the way after we graduated. She ultimately went back to HongKong at her father's request while I went on to finish my doctorate in the US. I met my wife as a fellow classmate from China, we got married during my residency. Even then, Lei and I stayed in touch platonically for a few years longer. She married a British ex-pat and we were both happy for each other. Then my wife found out about my past. Well, let's just say Chines tradition didn't tolerate any kind of friendship between two sexes other than marriage. I love my wife. She was a virgin when I married her. She is the embodiment of traditional Chinese, and I completely respect and honor that. And she also understand why I'm not entirely the same having spent more time in the US. Yet, despite all that, she loves me partly because I showed her what it is like to live free like an American, and she loves me because I'm have none of the worst aspects of Chinese or American. Life is full of love and loss. They come and go, bringing euphoria and abyss, yet when you least expected, comes fate.
