#SHOWBIZ: Taiwanese actress Michelle Chen weeps at Stefanie Sun's Beijing concert
TAIPEI: Taiwanese actress Michelle Chen wept during Singapore pop star Stefanie Sun's concert at Beijing's National Stadium recently.
The 42-year-old was among the 50,000 guests who turned up for Sun's concert on June 13.
"She is my favourite Chinese-language female singer and I have waited for this concert for a long time," said Chen on Chinese social media platform Weibo on June 14.
"I had a chance to watch it more than 10 years ago, but missed it due to work," she said.
"I didn't expect that it would be many years later before I got to watch her."
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 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 film You Are The Apple Of My Eye (2011), 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."
Sun's concert in Beijing was her first at the stadium since her debut in 2000.
She became the fourth Chinese-language female singer to hold a concert there after Hong Kong's Karen Mok and G.E.M., as well as Taiwan's A-Mei.
