He returned to Gansu in 2017 after realizing that the best way to honor his late wife was to continue their joint research on Hua'er.

"When I walk the path to find the lyrics again, I feel my wife is with me," Kouwenhoven says. "This music is pure emotional expression. Hua'er is not just a living art form. It carries ancient history, the dreams of the land, and the strength of rural culture."
