A talented musician known as @whatisitcalled stumbles upon an extraordinary discovery in Gansu Province, northwest China on May 1.

Armed with mere everyday objects—an ordinary pen, a handful of rubber bands, and a discarded paper box—she unveils a newfound potential, birthing a one-of-a-kind musical instrument: Guzheng.

Fueled by a deep admiration for the rich heritage of Chinese music, @whatisitcalled's inventive spirit guides her to explore uncharted territory. Through ingenious manipulation of unconventional materials, she deftly fastens the pen to the paper box using rubber bands, giving birth to a makeshift guzheng. Little does she realise that this seemingly ordinary creation will soon emit captivating harmonies.

With her unique instrument now in her grasp, a journey of musical exploration and artistic expression commences. Pushing the boundaries of her unconventional guzheng, she finds herself immersed in the vibrant melodies of a classical martial arts composition. As her nimble fingers pluck the rubber band strings, the sounds emanating from the instrument transcend its humble origins, captivating all who listen.
