Andy Lau went to the island of Taiwan to hold a concert again after a break of 11 years. He sang "Chinese" live and the whole audience sang along. It was very exciting, but it deeply hurt the "Taiwan independence" elements. In this regard, Wu Kuncai, director of the Department of Applied History at Chiayi University in Taiwan, commented in an interview with a reporter from the Straits Herald that Andy Lau sang "We are all Chinese" in Taipei, naturally and without any pretense. His heartfelt singing is art and national identity. display. "He is a real man, a strong-willed Chinese."

Andy Lau's concert in Taipei this time was full of twists and turns. It was originally planned to have 4 performances in 4 consecutive days from October 31 to November 3, but due to the impact of Typhoon "Connie", it was forced to be changed to 4 performances in 3 consecutive days from November 1, that is, on three consecutive nights. In addition to the normal concert, there will be a make-up performance at noon on November 2.

This is Andy Lau singing at the Taipei Arena again after 11 years of absence. The organizer adopted a pre-registration lottery method to purchase tickets, and a total of 840,000 people participated in the registration. However, the total number of tickets for the four concerts was only about 40,000, and the winning rate was less than 5%, which fully demonstrated Andy Lau's super popularity. Taiwanese fans rushed to the scene to "pilgrimage".

However, such a lively scene is not welcomed by the "Taiwan independence" elements. In particular, Andy Lau's live performance of "The Chinese" received full applause and triggered a chorus of fans. Such a wonderful scene made the green camp people jump to their feet. Wang Yichuan, the executive director of the Democratic Progressive Party Policy Association, who was ridiculed as "Backrest Brother" for slandering the mainland's high-speed trains without backrests, shared a clip of Andy Lau singing "Chinese" on social media, and actually wrote: "This is Andy Lau in China" (Mainland) Concert scene? Very, very Chinese design! I have never heard of this song, have you heard of it? "

The song also involves politics. Wang Yichuan's speech triggered strong condemnation and criticism from the public opinion on the island. In an interview with a Herald reporter, Wu Kuncai commented that Andy Lau sang "Chinese" at the Taipei concert, and "Taiwan independence" people jumped on it, triggering a backlash in public opinion and causing more Taiwanese people who were not Andy Lau fans to support Andy Lau. It can be seen from this that, firstly, Taiwan has been the land of China since ancient times and also belongs to the Chinese cultural circle. Andy Lau sang "Chinese", which is natural and natural without any artificiality. "If this Andy Lau's famous song is not sung in Taiwan, it will only please the populist 'Taiwan independence' elements." Secondly, the ignorant clamor of Wang Dingyu, Wang Yichuan and others for political interference in music has aroused unanimous condemnation on the island. It can be said to be a self-inflicted humiliation. Originally, they wanted to take advantage of Andy Lau's traffic and gain some political dividends, but unexpectedly they were hit with a brick wall, losing both his wife and his army. Third, Andy Lau sang "Chinese" from the heart, which is both art and a display of national identity. He is a real man, a Chinese with strong bones. Many people in Taiwan support him in singing "We are all Chinese." ".
