CHINA: As part of her ongoing tour, Aut Nihilo, Singaporean singer-songwriter Stefanie Sun has been performing to large crowds, according to CNA.
On Jun 13, Sun took the stage at Beijing’s iconic National Stadium—better known as the Bird’s Nest—kicking off the Beijing leg of her tour with a massive crowd of over 50,000 fans. On Jun 15, she performed there again for her second and final show.
Concert tour in China
In April and May, Sun completed the Shenzhen and Shanghai portions of her tour, respectively. According to Sun’s Weibo post, she performed in front of 46,000 people on the first night of her Shanghai concert on Apr 26.
Among the attendees for Sun’s opening night in Beijing is none other than Taiwanese actress Michelle Chen!
On Jun 14, actress Michelle Chen, from You Are The Apple Of My Eye, went on Weibo and talked about the show. She wrote, “This concert? For my favourite Chinese female singer? It’s been an unbelievably long wait! I actually had an opportunity to attend her last concert over a decade ago, but unfortunately, work commitments got in the way.”
It was quite a shock that her next one would be so many years later. The moment Sun appeared on stage, Chen was overcome with emotion and felt tears welling up.
As she put it, Sun has truly “carried my youth for so many years.”
In a funny, relatable twist, the 42-year-old actress quipped, “Fortunately, there were fast songs, so I only cried for half of the concert!”
She shared a lovely sentiment, saying that when she used to listen to Sun’s songs, they always carried this unique mix—”one part innocence, two parts stubbornness, and three parts freedom.”
Admiration from Chen
It was those very songs that helped her discover who she truly was—and gave her the courage to pursue her dreams. “I saw you in person today,” she added, “You are so cute! Different from any meaning, you are the green light and so unique.”
So, this is a huge deal: This “Aut Nihilo” tour (that’s Latin for “or nothing at all”) is Stefanie Sun’s first big concert series in ten whole years since her Kepler World Tour in 2014.
So, the whole amazing tour kicked off in Singapore just a couple of months ago, back in April! Sun rocked the Singapore Indoor Stadium for four incredible nights! This tour is extra special because it celebrates her 25th anniversary in the music scene. She debuted way back in 2000 with “Cloudy Day,” and of course, she’s famous for classics like “Encounter,” “What I Miss,” and “Against The Light.”
A true Mandopop legend, Sun is a renowned Singaporean singer-songwriter who’s earned widespread acclaim for her powerful vocals and heartfelt music. Everyone knows her for those powerful ballads that just hit you right in the feels, and, of course, her sweet “girl next door” image. She made her debut in 2000 with her self-titled album “Yan Zi” and the hit single “Cloudy Day,” quickly becoming a sensation across Asia.
