The guzheng playing video of The Story of Mercury. The inspiration for the creation of "The Story of Mercury" comes from Mercury. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, but it can't get out of its orbit, nor can it get close to the sun, so Guo Ding uses Mercury's accompanying movement to the sun as a metaphor for the emotional relationship between people who are far and near, to anthropomorphize people. He created this song with his creative method and the music orchestration and production methods that tend to be sci-fi. He hopes that the audience can find the most suitable "position" in the life course from this song.

Original Song: "Mercury"

Lyrics: Guo Ding
