The phonographic stylus touches down lightly on the surface of the shellac record and begins to travel its grooves. Through the crackling and hissing comes, distant-seeming yet clearly discernable, the strains of the song "The Peach Blossom's Tears of Blood." This song was recorded in 1932 by Chun-chun, an artist from the first generation of Taiwanese pop stars, and relates that generation's stories of joy and sorrow.
唱針輕觸蟲膠曲盤，沙沙聲響，聽似遙遠卻清晰可尋，順著音軌滑動，一九三二年由台灣第一代女歌星純純所灌錄的〈桃花泣血記〉，緩緩唱著那個年代的悲喜故事。
