Hsu Shih was a post-World War II Taiwanese composer who created many Taiwanese ballads, including "Anping Memories," "The Sound of the Gongs," and "Southern Nocturne" as his masterpieces. In 1946, Hsu Shih returned to Taiwan from Japan and gradually collected and organized Taiwanese folk songs scattered in various places and promoted local music. He used orchestral music to raise the status of Taiwanese folk songs and organized choral tours with Taiwanese characteristics, pioneering the trend of popular music.
