Taiwan's “Born Diva” A-Lin (Huang Liling), known for her powerful vocals and numerous classic love songs, is already an unshakable queen in the Chinese pop music scene. Recently, she brought her brand new world tour concert “Journey” to Chengdu, China, impressively performing three consecutive shows and displaying her remarkable strength. However, during a rare livestream after her show on the 8th, A-Lin reflected on the hardships of her early career and repeatedly thanked her fans for supporting her over the years.
Looking back on nearly 20 years in showbiz, A-Lin spoke emotionally, saying she has always felt very lucky, but admitted the gap between expectations and reality was huge at the start. She recalled that when she released her debut album in 2006, there were only 3 people present at her first album signing event. She smiled wryly as she recounted that “bleak” time: “Two of them were my family members, and the other one was really just a passerby, but he stopped specially to watch my signing event.” At the time, the staff, seeing how empty the scene was, asked if she wanted to cancel the activity, but A-Lin demonstrated her innate pride and dedication to music, insisting on going on stage to sing. All she thought at the time was, “I hope my singing can attract more people to stay.”
From having just 3 people in the audience to now selling out every show on tour, A-Lin choked up as she thanked her fans in front of the camera: “To this day, I’ve performed many concerts and released many albums. I feel really moved and truly happy. Thank you all for being willing to listen to A-Lin’s music.” The staff who have accompanied her for many years also said with feeling, “Every step of this 20-year journey has been meaningful.” This sentence precisely struck a chord in A-Lin, bringing her to tears again, and for a moment the atmosphere was movingly emotional.
