Chinese idol Xiao Zhan wrote a post on social media after attending Stefanie Sun’s concert in Shanghai. And the Singapore singer has reacted to her long-time fan.
Sun recently started her first world tour in a decade, titled Aut Nihilo, with four concerts in Singapore on April 5, 6, 12 and 13. The 46-year-old performed in Shanghai on April 26 and 28.
Xiao, 33, a fan of Sun since before he entered the entertainment industry in 2016, posted four photos of the concert on Chinese social media platform Weibo late on April 26.
“I used to wonder what I would be when I was 25, while listening to your song Youth Without Limits (2003), but I am getting further away from the age of 25,” he wrote. “I have been working hard to become someone who shines like you.”
The singer-actor ended the post with lyrics from Sun’s songs Encounter (2003), Best Days Of My Youth (2014) and The Pursuit Of Contentment (2017).
Sun commented on his post late on April 27: “You have already shone. Jiayou, Xiao Zhan.” “Jiayou” is an expression of encouragement in Mandarin.
He thanked her for the comment, and wished her good night and sweet dreams.
Xiao made his debut with Chinese boy band X Nine, and his popularity rocketed after starring in the Chinese period fantasy drama The Untamed (2019).
He had defended Sun on social media in April 2021 after a young netizen called her an obscure singer and claimed few people in China had heard of her songs.
