Our Song paired established, well-known older singers with the new generation of young singers as sort of mentoring-process competition. Fei YuChing was one of the mentors and his final 4 performances were paired with the young Mongolian singer, Ayanga, and they labeled themselves as the duo 雲淡風清 (using character from part of their names, translated as Light Cloud, Clear Wind).
