Su Yitong's guzheng performance "West Chamber Ci" comes from the album "Music: Guzheng - Su Yitong".

"West Chamber Ci" is an influential piece of Hakka zheng music in Guangdong. There are only more than 20 pieces, and it belongs to cross-tone. The tune is beautiful and simple, intimate and touching, and the rhythm is soothing and eloquent. Since the Hakka zheng music is a fusion of the music of the Central Plains and the local music culture in the Southern Song Dynasty, this piece has formed a unique style that not only has the remnants of the ancient rhyme of the Central Plains, but also has the color of the local music of Fujian and Guangdong.
