• In the foothills of the Red Cliffs, where the wind whispered the bitter tale of battle, a delicate sound arose—an ethereal melody that settled upon the silence of the restless legions like a lullaby of peace. Not the cry of swords, but the voice of a childlike flute became a passerby of ears. There, in the midst of a small plain, a child was playing the flute—a sound that at first was slightly out of tune, as if the spirit of peace were offended by the violence mingled with itself. The leader, with deep understanding, gently adjusted the mouthpiece of the flute, a small change as tender as a caress upon a turbulent heart.And this time, a melody arose, clear and flawless: the pure echo of nature, a praise of existence—a moment when the clamor of war transformed into the silence of peaceful thought. This was "The Last Farewell": a farewell to the melody of tranquility, before the cry of death would rend the sky—a song that reminded that even on the brink of ruin, one can speak of the beauty of peace. • Author and Composer: Mohammad Basereh
