Actress Michelle Chen weeps at Stefanie Sun's first concert at Beijing's National Stadium
Taiwanese actress Michelle Chen wept during Singapore pop star Stefanie Sun's concert at Beijing's National Stadium.
The 42-year-old was among the 50,000 spectators who turned up for the Beijing leg of Sun's concert tour on June 13.
'She is my favourite Chinese-language female singer and I have waited for this concert for a very long time,' Chen wrote on Chinese social media platform Weibo on June 14 morning.
'I had a chance to watch it more than 10 years ago, but missed it due to work,' she wrote in Chinese. 'I didn't expect that it would be many years later before I got to watch her in concert.'
Sun, 46, kicked off her first world tour in a decade, titled Aut Nihilo, in April with four concerts in Singapore. She also performed in Shanghai later in April and Shenzhen in May.
'I wanted to cry the moment you appeared on stage, as you were part of my youth for many years,' Chen wrote. 'Fortunately, I cried for only half of the show as there were fast songs.'
The actress, who is best known for the Taiwanese coming-of-age romance film You Are The Apple Of My Eye (2011), then quoted part of the Chinese-language title of the movie in her post.
'During those years I listened to your songs, the songs felt like they were carrying one part of innocence, two parts of stubbornness and three parts of freedom,' she wrote. 'I found myself in the songs and pursued my dreams.'
The actress shared her concert ticket, two photos of herself at the event and two short videos of Sun performing.

Sun's concert at Beijing's National Stadium, which is nicknamed the Bird's Nest, was her first at the venue since her debut in 2000. Sun will be holding a second show there on June 15.
She became the fourth Chinese-language female singer to hold a concert at the stadium after Hong Kong's Karen Mok and G.E.M. as well as Taiwan's A-mei.

Stefanie Sun makes emotional concert return to Taiwan, where she made her debut
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox – Singapore pop diva Stefanie Sun made an emotional return to the Taiwan stage on Aug 16. It was where she made her debut 25 years ago and a place filled with memories for her. Her two sold-out concerts at Kaohsiung Arena were part of her Aut Nihilo tour, her first headline gigs on the island in 11 years. On the first night, the 47-year-old made several references to her time in Taiwan, tearing up twice as she walked down memory lane. As she started on the opening lines of The Moment, she suddenly stopped to wipe away her tears and let the fans take over the singing for a while. The song was from her 2003 compilation album of the same name. It was released shortly before she made the difficult decision to take a one-year break from the music industry, even as she was enjoying immense success. Sun was overcome with emotion once more in a segment where she acknowledged some of her old industry partners who had been with her at the start of her career. 'I started out in Taiwan. Many of my old colleagues and friends who share these deep connections with me are here today,' she said onstage, choking back tears. 'I've never said this before. Thank you for walking this journey with me, I miss those days dearly.' Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

Reason for Kaohsiung venue Many fans had hoped that Sun would mark her Taiwan comeback by performing in the capital Taipei, where she used to be based. But as The Straits Times previously reported , the Taipei Arena venue has been in such high demand that her team's bid for a spot was unsuccessful. Still, Sun made the most of her debut in Kaohsiung Arena, and spoke of how the southern Taiwanese city was also of personal significance. 'It's here that I won the Golden Melody Award for Best Newcomer, and the Golden Melody Award for Best Female Singer,' she said. 'We met many times back then, although now we may be a little older.' 2. Taiwanese celeb friends Some of Sun's Taiwanese celebrity friends showed up – in voice messages, at least. Pop star Jolin Tsai and singer-songwriter Wu Ching-feng shared fond memories of their long-time friendships with Sun in audio recordings. 'In my eyes, Stefanie Sun is someone who dares to be herself and is very straightforward,' Tsai said. She added that she often spent time with Sun in Singapore when she flew to the Lion City for her own recording sessions. 'Her smile is so powerful and instantly draws anyone in. I find her very approachable.' Wu let on that Sun, on top of being kind and genuine, has a surprising 'hip-hop soul' in her. 'One time when I was singing karaoke with Stefanie Sun, a hip-hop song suddenly came on. I was still wondering who had requested it when she suddenly started rapping wildly,' he said. 3. Bonus KTV song Like Sun's comeback shows held earlier in Singapore, the Kaohsiung concert featured a mock karaoke session where audience members were given the chance to request two songs from a list. However, Sun decided to sing a third track as a bonus. The same song – Sculpted Eyebrow – was requested twice earlier but had failed to be picked as it did not get the loudest cheers from the crowd. 'This is a gift for you,' she said, before leading the audience on a mass sing-along of the song. The gift was well appreciated.

Michelle Yeoh thinks Ne Zha 2 could be important 'cultural exchange' with Western cinema, Entertainment News
Michelle Yeoh thinks Ne Zha 2 could prove to be an important "cultural exchange". The 63-year-old Malaysian actress voices the part of Lady Yin - the mother of Ne Zha - in the English-language version of the Chinese box-office hit, and she is thrilled to be part of the project, suggesting that it could have a huge long-term impact on the film industry. Speaking to People, Michelle explained: "I had seen Ne Zha 2 in Chinese, and even at that time I thought, 'I hope they do an English version, because you want little kids to be able to see it and understand'. "So when they did come to me and said, 'Would this interest you?' I jumped right in … Somehow, when A24 and I get together, we get a little magic going." She believes that Ne Zha 2 could lead to more "Chinese stories" being told in Western cinemas. Michelle - who began her career in Hong Kong before making the move to Hollywood - said: "It is so important as a cultural exchange; an opening for more Chinese stories that need to be told. Especially the mythological side of it. "We're so rich in lore with the three realms, the heavens, the earth and the seas." Ne Zha 2 focuses on the Chinese mythological character Ne Zha and his friend Ao Bing. Michelle loves that the movie manages to bridge the gap between traditional Chinese mythology and young film fans. She explained: "The storytelling is so amazing because they have kept intact the classic myth of how it was before, but added that contemporary way of storytelling. [[nid:716644]] "So that's the bridge for the generational gap. Like we say, it is timeless, but timely." Michelle also revealed that Ne Zha is one of her favourite characters, revealing that she was inspired by the "spunky kid riding on fire wheels" during her younger years. Michelle - whose previous film credits include Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Crazy Rich Asians, and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings - reflected: "This is for people who always felt that they're not seen, or they have been ostracised, or they don't look right, or they don't fit in, so that they don't give up. "And that's why Ne Zha has always been one of my favourite characters because he fought injustice. I think from the minute he was born, he felt very rejected. "When I was a kid, I used to be so fascinated and inspired by this spunky kid riding on fire wheels. I wanted to be that cool demigod that fought for justice."

Book review: Yiyun Li's Things In Nature Merely Grow remakes the grief memoir
Chinese-American writer Yiyun Li's memoir, Things In Nature Merely Grow (2025), reckons logically with losing both her teenage sons, Vincent and James, to suicide less than seven years apart. By Yiyun Li Memoir/4th Estate/Paperback/192 pages/$34.34 With Cordelia dead in his arms, King Lear lets out four howls for his daughter. In King John, Constance tears her hair in grief after losing her son Arthur. In 1596, Shakespeare lost his 11-year-old son Hamnet, an event which may have sharpened the anguish in his later tragedies.
