Chinese singer Li Ronghao is publicly criticizing Shan Yichun! Last year, Shan Yichun performed a unique version of Li Ronghao's song 'Li Bai' on the stage of 'Singer 2025', adding her own touch with phrases like 'What now, so what,' sparking heated discussions. Recently, she planned to perform this song again at her concert and requested authorization from Li Ronghao, which was refused, but Shan Yichun still went ahead and sang it. Li Ronghao posted online, harshly accusing her of 'forcible copyright infringement'! The two have history—back when Shan Yichun made a stunning debut on 'The Voice of China,' Li Ronghao was one of the four coaches. She joined Li Jian's team, and Li Ronghao seemed to hint at something, saying, 'Are you here for revenge? What is hatred? Should I say it? Can you handle it? Are you sure you can handle me telling you?' The confrontation is on!
Li Ronghao is very dissatisfied with the impact caused by her cover of 'Li Bai,' so he was unwilling to grant further authorization. He said: 'Your cover on the 'Singer' show set off a frenzy of jokes about me online.' Recalling past interactions, he continued, 'Shan Yichun, from the moment you stepped on the stage as a contestant of another coach, haven't I always introduced you to the audience with the most positive praise? At least until yesterday, my attitude has remained the same. So the goodwill I showed, to you, is just ‘What now, so what’, right?'
Li Ronghao came out fighting, taking jabs at Shan Yichun: 'I hope you won’t say you didn’t know, that it was all the company’s doing. That doesn’t match your ‘What now, so what’ attitude. Also, don’t shed tears on stage tonight seeking sympathy, because at the moment you decided to infringe, you were confident — show that confidence now.'
As for Shan Yichun’s arrangement, Li Ronghao said many people wanted his opinion: 'There’s not much change from the chords to the rhythm, just a swap of live drums for electronic. I don’t see this as a true rearrangement. The extra parts at the beginning and end—if I may compare, it’s like a book with a new cover but the same content inside, so I don’t really know what to comment on.' He also remarked that in just six short years, seeing her go from a tearful girl who was scared on stage to now insisting on infringement, it’s quite thought-provoking.
