On a night full of passion and music, when familiar melodies sound, the light on the stage does not always point to the dazzling stars, but sometimes it is an indescribable tacit understanding between them and the audience. Recently, at a concert in Shaoguan, Guangdong, an interaction between star Zhang Weijian and the audience became a hot topic on social media. His behavior, in stark contrast to Eason Chan's performance on different occasions, has triggered a new round of thinking about the relationship between celebrities and fans, as well as cultural identity.
Under the lights, Zhang Weijian stood in the center of the stage, and he asked the audience in Mandarin: "Do you want to hear me speak Cantonese or Mandarin?" The audience immediately resounded with the call of "Cantonese". Zhang Weijian was slightly stunned, and then asked in Mandarin: "So, can friends who want to hear me speak Mandarin give me applause?" This time, however, the applause did not appear. On the contrary, when he turned to Cantonese, the scene almost erupted, with cheers and applause rolling in like a heat wave.
Zhang Weijian not only quickly adjusted his language mode, but also responded to the audience with a humorous attitude, he smiled and said: "I know, I know!" This impromptu and flexible interaction immediately ignited the atmosphere of the scene. He then interacted in Cantonese throughout the whole process, establishing a special emotional connection with the audience, and the enthusiasm of the audience was further ignited, and the whole venue almost became a sea of carnival.
And on the web, this video quickly caused a lot of discussion. Unlike Eason Chan, who had an argument with fans because he insisted on using Cantonese at the concert, Cheung Weijian's more open and inclusive attitude received a large number of praise from netizens. People have left messages to discuss: "In fact, language is just a tool for communication, and the key is attitude." "Eason Chan's approach seems to be a little too opinionated, while Cheung's flexibility seems to be more pro-people."
In addition, a recent concert by Jacky Cheung in Chengdu was also well received for his use of Mandarin throughout. As a Hong Kong star, Jacky Cheung specially emphasized: "I want to win glory for our Hong Kong stars." This not only shows his professionalism, but also shows respect and recognition of popular culture.
This series of events makes people think that in a society where multiculturalism coexists, language is a bridge between emotions and cultures. For public figures, how to balance the boundaries of self-expression and respect for the audience has become particularly important. And whether the audience should be given more understanding and space is also a question worth pondering.
Does this mean that in the future in public, we should advocate for diversity and inclusion in language? How can local cultures and minority languages be better protected and respected while promoting mainstream culture? These questions deserve to be considered and discussed by each of us. #Autumn Life Check-in##Challenge 30 days to write a diary in the headlines##Second Pen Shenghua Creation Challenge#
