The discussion centers around a song featuring lyrics that express themes of hope, love, and perseverance. Participants express appreciation for the song's lyrics, with one member requesting a translation for non-Chinese speakers. The lyrics convey a message about overcoming struggles and cherishing life, emphasizing the importance of passion and friendship. There is also a debate about the song's melody and whether it is the same as another song, with some confusion regarding the lyrics and their translations between traditional and simplified Chinese. The conversation shifts to notable Chinese artists, including Jackie Chan and Emil Chow, and the popularity of singers like Faye Wong and the group F4. Members share their knowledge of Chinese music, discussing both contemporary pop and traditional styles, while some express a preference for traditional singing over pop music. The dialogue reflects a blend of cultural appreciation and personal musical tastes within the context of Chinese music.

Actually a long time ago in Boston, or New York.. or was it LA? Don't even remember I bought some tapes with Asian music, I guess they are vietnamese:

So I am not interested in pop music, more in traditional singing.

Just to clarify, basically you like Asian groups singing traditional Asian songs? those are boring

I have some songs, but more from Asian pop bands and most are sang in English and their native language.

Fay Wong is very very very famous! She was born in Bei Jing. When she was eight years old (IIRC), she and her family moved to Hong Kong. Not only is she famous in China and Hong Kong SAR, but also in Japan and other parts of the world.

You know what? KL is a nerd who knows nearly nothing about pop singers but knows a lot about old songs which don't really belong to the younger generation. F4 is a very new group from Tai Wan and I just did a little research about them. They are very famous in Hong Kong and Tai Wan, but I'm not sure whether they are famous in mainland China.

By the way, how did you know F4 ? [?] By some kind of secret source like the one Ivan has?

It's a well guarded secret Actually I just have a lot of asian friends and aquaintances.

Ivan has a secret source? source of what? Gold? Diamonds? Rubies? Punky power?

Different cultures have different styles, speak for yourself bud.

I think he has one, but it is classified as top secret.

... more coming soon (hard translation).
PrudensOptimus, that's why I'm asking for your help as you can translate better.
