In early September this year, he, who is currently a full-time teacher at the School of Music and Dance at Jingdezhen Vocational University of Arts, was infected by the fighting spirit of Ganchao players and completed the lyrics and music creation and recording of "Ganchao's Starting" in just two days. Once the work was released, it was quickly spread on platforms such as NetEase Cloud Music, and received the attention of fans and Jingdezhen Education and Sports Bureau and other units. It was finally officially unveiled in the Gan Super League.

The lyrics of "Gan Chao's Starting Sail" are concise and powerful. The melody combines modern popular elements with an inspiring march style, conveying the spirit of unity, hard work and never giving up, and are full of the vibrant atmosphere of the times. "Every pass is strength, every drop of sweat shines! This is our home court, victory is ahead!" The song sings deep affection and pride for the hometown, and also expresses the voices of all athletes and fans.
