Previously, Wei Hui Ni had only stayed in the mainland for two days. When the opportunity came, she received the support of her mother and "put away all her belongings within three days." She wants to know more about the real continent, thinking that there will be more possibilities for development, "I can't describe how big my ideal was at that time." ”
Alone and new to Beijing, Wei Huini once dreamed of a tiger as big as a house circling her. Tigers are brightly colored and have beautiful textures. She felt that the other party had no malice, so she held out a hand. In the blink of an eye, the tiger turned into a cute cat.

Overcoming difficulties such as climate, living habits, and accent differences, Wei Huini believes that he has "integrated well" into his life. The same is true in terms of work, she said: "There is no difference between Taiwanese singers and mainland singers. I represent my music, my creations. ”
The Taiwanese imprint is one of the uniquenesses in her creations. Wei Huini adapted some of the songs with Mandarin lyrics into Hokkien, and the cover song "Drifting to the North" has attracted attention. She said that the Hokkien language has a rhyme, "'Cheers' is pronounced as 'click', 'hot' is 'poof', like hot gas bubbling up." ”
Wei Huini's creation comes from life, and she hopes that the songs she creates will make listeners feel understood and healed. At the beginning of last year, Wei Huini, who was still in Taiwan for the New Year, felt heartache for the outbreak of the new crown epidemic in Wuhan and refilled his song as "Love That Cannot Be Isolated". The lyrics read: "Don't be afraid, have me, side by side." How dark the world is, love will never go back. No matter where you are, you're a family, she said.
On the social networking site bilibili, Wei Huini introduced herself as a "slash artist". Debuting as a singer, she acted, drew, hosted, did IP, made VLOG... "I don't want to be defined, I want to try various possibilities." In creation, Wei Huini often feels the fusion of inspiration from different fields, "Acting will be influenced by his own music, and when writing songs, he will be affected by the role." She paints the cover for her album, "an image that makes a song visible."
Through painting, Wei Huini recorded what she saw in the mainland: child sounds, radiators, drinking bean juice, running marathons. In addition, she creates a series of healing works. She describes herself as "sometimes green, sometimes orange." Green represents curiosity in personality, love for nature, simple love; orange is to heal others, is to express feelings, "orange can be warm, can also be very hot."
After coming to the mainland for 5 years, Wei Huini's footprints have spread all over the north and south of the river, and he has eaten snow-clad bean paste that mainland friends do not necessarily know, and is surprised that the ice surface of the Songhua River can carry the weight of a car, and is deeply impressed by the intangible cultural heritage "hitting trees and flowers". She noticed that the mainland has connections with Taiwan's traditional craftsmen, and "there are many similarities in spirit, situation, and so on."
The Tainan girl's favorite city is Beijing, "this is where I realize my dreams, it is my home on the mainland."
Regarding the future, Wei Huini has many plans: writing school songs for a primary school, establishing an audio library, recording "special sounds" and "taking everyone's ears to travel" during the trip, continuing to create a series of paintings such as mainland observations and healing, and perfecting his IP. In addition, she also wants to take her mother to the mainland to travel and continue to develop on the mainland herself.
Wei Huini's WeChat avatar is a little girl with two tugging and sparkling eyes, and the background is a rainbow. Regarding the "landing" of Taiwan Youth to break into the road of acting, she said: "I would recommend it to people with dreams. (End)
