"Xu Xia, Xu Xia, Xu Xia..."
Amidst the music and cheers, Xu Xia stood in front of several dancers, singing and dancing.
After several days of preparation, she had developed an exceptional rapport with the dancers and musicians. This iconic opening song instantly ignited the entire venue.
The audience couldn’t help but stand up from their seats, waving glow sticks in rhythm with the music, and singing loudly along.
"... If you like , say it out loud; if you love , co and kiss . There’s no place for cowards in love..."
As the song ended, fireworks burst across the stage.
Standing amidst the fireworks, Xu Xia smiled as she surveyed the audience below.
"Do you like ?!"
"Yes!"
The audience responded in unison.
Next, Xu Xia sang two more upbeat songs in succession. She is a perforr best suited for live shows, and such concerts only fill her with endless excitent.
Singing and dancing through three consecutive songs, she was already covered in sweat, yet her face remained radiant. It’s rare for female stars to open a concert this way; Xu Xia’s performance was comndable, with no off-key notes or broken pitches, proving her strength.
The entire concert was ticulously arranged, with fast and slow songs interspersed. Xu Xia changed outfits several tis, each entrance distinctly different, maintaining a perfectly controlled atmosphere.
"I think... you all have heard the news. On June 16th, my best friend, who debuted with , is getting married... You know her na, right?!" Xu Xia raised her hand to her ear, "Tell , who is she?!"
"Princess Qianqian!"
"That’s right, our Princess Qianqian. So next, I’m going to sing one of her songs, do you want to hear it?!"
"Yes!"
"Great!" Xu Xia took a deep breath, raising her right hand, "This next song is dedicated to you, and also to Princess Qianqian and Emperor Leng. I wish them eternal happiness and wish you all the sa happiness. This song is... ’Destined’."
The stage lights went out.
The audience cheered.
"Shh!"
Xu Xia’s voice ca out of the darkness.
The venue fell silent instantly.
A tender child’s voice echoed in the darkness.
"Buddha says: From love arises grief, from love arises fear; for one free of love, there is no grief or fear."
This song was originally written by Luo Xiaoqian for Leng Zimo, and this ti Xu Xia included a cover of this song in her new album, both to commorate her and Luo Xiaoqian’s fifth anniversary since debut and to bless Luo Xiaoqian on her return.
In her album, this song underwent a completely new arrangent, different from Luo Xiaoqian’s original version.
No Buddhist music, no electronic sounds, no complex orchestration...
Except for the child’s voice, the entire song was unplugged—featuring acoustic guitar, Indian drums... and similar instrunts. The highlight was a stunning 30-second acoustic guitar solo, which beca the new soul of the song.
A beam of light slowly illuminated Xu Xia’s silhouette, bringing her back to the viewer’s gaze.
She had changed into a modified golden saree, with a veil covering the lower half of her face, revealing only her bright eyes.
With the rhythm of the Indian drums, she danced slowly while singing.
