64-year-old legendary singer Wakin Chau, who outperformed the Four Heavenly Kings in the 1990s and earned the nickname “King Slayer”, is known for classic hits such as “Let Me Be Happy, Let Me Worry” and “Flower Heart”. In recent years, he's been living in China, raking in money, and recently appeared in Foshan, Guangdong with a noticeable beer belly. Netizens jokingly remarked: “Is that belly carrying twins?”
Wakin Chau has a son and a daughter. His son, Hou An, recently married his non-celebrity girlfriend in May, officially making Chau a father-in-law—cause for celebration. He recently held a concert in Foshan, donning a No. 22 jersey with jeans, focusing purely on his beautiful vocals, mesmerizing the crowd. One song in particular, “Friend”, drew strong applause from the audience. Still, some fans joked while listening: “Bro, your belly is almost more eye-catching than the guitar!”
Others dug up a photo comparison from 20 years ago, captioned: “A full record from chiseled face to bun face.” Fitness bloggers jumped on the bandwagon with tutorials titled “How to Lose a Wakin Chau-Style Beer Belly”, and even food accounts joined in: “Wakin Chau’s Favorite Taiwanese Night Market Dishes.” The most touching moment came when the camera panned to several middle-aged male fans with identical beer bellies singing along during the audience group chorus, creating a strangely healing scene of “time spares no one.”
In truth, being able to sing non-stop for three hours at age 64 without going off-key shows serious skills that outclass many lip-syncing young idols. Some netizens aptly noted: “Don’t all our dads have this body shape? Does being in your 60s or 70s with an eight-pack really have to be the norm?” Seeing Wakin Chau happily rubbing his belly and singing on stage suddenly feels more endearing than those middle-aged idols afraid to eat carbs. His honest embrace of aging naturally is winning even more fans.
