Zai shui yifang (song)

"Zai Shui Yifang" (Chinese: 在水一方; pinyin: Zài shuǐ yīfāng; lit. 'Across the Water'), also translated "On the Other Side of the Water", is a song first recorded by Taiwanese singer Chiang Lei for the soundtrack of the Taiwanese film The Unforgettable Character (1975). Written by Chiung Yao and composed by Lin Chia-ching, it was included on side A of the film's soundtrack album, released on November 1, 1975.

The lyrics of the song are taken from the poem "Qin Feng Jianjia" from the ancient Chinese poetry collection Classic of Poetry. "Zai Shui Yifang" was covered by Taiwanese singer Teresa Teng in 1980, and has since been covered by various other artists. In 2005, the original recording of "Zai Shui Yifang" was named one of the 100 Golden Songs of Chinese Cinema in the Past 100 Years by the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the China Film Association.
