Stefanie Sun performs to 50,000 fans at the Bird's Nest
18 Jun - Stefanie Sun recently kicked off the Beijing leg of her "Aut Nihilo" concert tour at the National Stadium (aka the Bird's Nest), where she performed to the tune of 50,000 fans. Performing at the venue for the first time in her 25 years of career, Stefanie is also only the fourth female singer to have ever been granted the chance to hold a solo concert at the iconic location. The concert also saw the attendance of stars like Michelle Chen, Chen Linong, Zhou Dongyu and many more, with the former writing, "I wanted to cry as soon as you came on stage. After all, you have carried my youth for so many years. Fortunately, there were fast songs, so I only cried for half of the show." It was understood that the concert was directed by Stefanie's music partner and music director Kenn C, and that the Singaporean singer herself participated in the whole process, from conception and arrangement to stage design. Stefanie also expressed her thoughts about performing at the iconic venue, writing, "It is hard for me to describe the experience of singing in the Bird's Nest. The sound in the venue was very consistent and surrounded me on the stage like waves. This is the moment when the singer is overwhelmed by the audience." "People outside the venue listened to the concert comfortably, drinking tea and eating snacks. They sang along warmly, occasionally shouting and humming. Though beyond my line of sight, we were all connected in that moment." Stefanie said that watching the videos from the concert was like someone was cutting onions next to her. Her next performance would be in Qingdao. (Photo Source: Stefanie IG)

#SHOWBIZ: Taiwanese actress Michelle Chen weeps at Stefanie Sun's Beijing concert
TAIPEI: Taiwanese actress Michelle Chen wept during Singapore pop star Stefanie Sun's concert at Beijing's National Stadium recently. The 42-year-old was among the 50,000 guests who turned up for Sun's concert on June 13. "She is my favourite Chinese-language female singer and I have waited for this concert for a long time," said Chen on Chinese social media platform Weibo on June 14. "I had a chance to watch it more than 10 years ago, but missed it due to work," she said. "I didn't expect that it would be many years later before I got to watch her." Sun, 46, kicked off her first world tour in a decade, titled Aut Nihilo, in April with four concerts in Singapore. She also performed in Shanghai in April and Shenzhen in May. "I wanted to cry the moment you appeared on stage, as you were part of my youth for many years," Chen wrote. "Fortunately, I cried for only half of the show as there were fast songs." The actress, who is best known for the Taiwanese film You Are The Apple Of My Eye (2011), quoted part of the Chinese-language title of the movie in her post. "During those years I listened to your songs, the songs felt like they were carrying one part of innocence, two parts of stubbornness and three parts of freedom," she wrote. "I found myself in the songs and pursued my dreams." Sun's concert in Beijing was her first at the stadium since her debut in 2000. She became the fourth Chinese-language female singer to hold a concert there after Hong Kong's Karen Mok and G.E.M., as well as Taiwan's A-Mei.

Taiwanese actress Michelle Chen was among the many attendees on the first day of Sun's Beijing concert. The actress said on Chinese social media platform Weibo on Jun 14 about the show: 'As my favourite Chinese female singer, I have waited too long for this concert. 'I had a chance to watch it (her last concert) more than ten years ago, but I missed it because of work. I didn't expect that it (her next concert) would be so many years later. I wanted to cry as soon as you came on stage. After all, you carried my youth for so many years,' said the actress known for her role in the 2011 film You Are The Apple Of My Eye. 'Fortunately, there were fast songs, so I only cried for half of the concert,' the 42-year-old added jokingly. 'Listening to your songs in those years, the songs always carried one part of innocence, two parts of stubbornness, and three parts of freedom. I found myself in the songs and pursued my dreams. I saw you in person today, and you are so cute! Different from any meaning, you are the green light and so unique.' This is Sun's first major tour in a decade since her 2014 Kepler World Tour.
