Oh, this is really interesting! Can you imagine? On the West Lake in Hangzhou, a 67-year-old grandfather Zhou became popular because he sang Jay Chou's songs, and he also received a thumbs up and shouts from Jay Chou himself. It's not a movie plot, it's a real thing.
On the evening of April 18, Jay Chou mentioned the uncle who sang by the West Lake at a concert in Hangzhou. The next day, Grandpa Zhou sang together with the young people of the Hangzhou Street Music Club in the gazebo of the West Lake, and the video received a lot of likes on the Internet. Looking at this scene, I have to say that the city of Hangzhou is really full of music and love.
Grandpa Zhou, whose full name is Zhou Chao, is 67 years old this year. He wore a peaked cap, a gray coat, and a small speaker with him, and sang Jay Chou's song by the West Lake. His musical journey actually originated from a salon in Fang Wenshan that he attended many years ago. Since then, Grandpa Zhou has become obsessed with Jay Chou's songs, especially "Blue and White Porcelain".
After retiring, Grandpa Zhou decided to do something he liked, he not only sang Tibetan music, but also sang Jay Chou's pop songs. In his own way, he combined music with the beautiful scenery of West Lake, and recorded it as a MV through mobile phone software to share it, which attracted a lot of people's attention.
Moreover, Grandpa Zhou's story is not alone. In Hangzhou, whether it's early in the morning or at night, the West Lake is always full of people who love to sing. From the first park to the willow waves, from the sixth park to the spring dawn of the Su Causeway, there are people singing in every pavilion. This kind of scene has become a kind of daily life in Hangzhou.
What's even more surprising is that Grandpa Zhou and another Grandpa Shao were both invited by the organizers of Jay Chou's concert and may appear at the concert. This is not only a recognition of the two grandfathers' musical enthusiasm, but also an affirmation of the city's musical atmosphere.
Cheng Wei, the captain of the Hangzhou Street Music Club, said that Hangzhou is a tolerant and happy city, and they often sing by the West Lake, and there will always be many citizens and tourists who stop and sing together to enjoy the happiness brought by music. This atmosphere, this love of music, is unique to Hangzhou.
73-year-old Grandpa Shao also said that although they are old, they can still show their love for pop music, West Lake, and Hangzhou. This kind of spirit is really touching.
Overall, it was so heartwarming. It allows us to see the power of music and the charm of the city of Hangzhou. Whether it is old or young, whether it is a professional singer or an amateur, everyone can find happiness in music and find their own stage. This is Hangzhou, a city of love and music.
