In fact, as early as 2016, she participated in Zhejiang Satellite TV's "China New Song", and surprised the audience with a blindly selected song "Heart has a Favorite", which once made countless netizens think about it.
Two days ago, Malaysian musicians, including Li Peiling, joined hands with Chinese colleagues to release the latest song "You Were Never Alone" to express concern and warmth to people affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic.

Song producer and Malaysian musician Wang Bingzhi said in Kuala Lumpur on the 13th that after learning about the outbreak of the epidemic, he paid attention to relevant news every day. "Seeing the increasing number of people infected by the virus, I am worried, anxious, and do not know what can be done."
Later, Wang Bingzhi thought of using his expertise to express support to friends around the world, especially China, by composing songs, so that they knew that they were not alone in the face of the epidemic.
"This is not only a matter of Chinese, but also needs to be shared by the whole world." Wang Bingzhi said.

This "epidemic" public welfare song was written and composed by Chinese musician Kai kai (Zhao Kaiyi), who completed the composition in only 4 hours.
"In the first line of the lyrics, 'sudden ice', 'ice' is a harmonic sound taken from 'disease'." Kai Kai explained.
For musicians, he says, music is a weapon and an energy. "In the face of the epidemic, we have good friends and brothers and sisters to escort us. Friends in Malaysia and other countries are supporting and encouraging us, and we are not alone in the fight. ”

In the song MV played live, there are many pictures of Chinese medical workers and other industry people fighting the epidemic. Wang Bingzhi said that the creative team paid tribute to all the people who stuck to their posts and fought silently in the front line, hoping that this song could boost everyone's morale.
"You've Never Been Alone" was sung by a total of 10 Malaysian singers who expressed their desire to participate in the songwriting as soon as they learned of the songwriting.

After Li Peiling heard that she wanted to record the song, she rushed back to Kuala Lumpur from her hometown four or five hours away on the same day to "cheer everyone up with her modest efforts".
Singer Martha said that when singing, she felt very heartbroken when she thought of the people who were fighting the pain, and felt that she had the responsibility to perform the song well, "I sincerely hope that they can hear the blessings from Malaysia!" ”

Singer Chen Kebing said that medical staff are risking their lives to treat patients, and ordinary people should take care of themselves and their families at home, do not add chaos, and do not let the hard work and efforts of medical staff be wasted.
Zhao Wenjun, a singer who has worked in China for a long time, has a home, friends and work partners in Beijing, so he has been eagerly following the epidemic. "There are never angels who fall from the sky, only heroes who stand out from difficulties, pay tribute to the heroes."

Don't cry
Not only me
Give you strength
