Be Courageous || Be Yourself

5:30 – 6:15 pm | Aug 27th
Stage In The Park | Harbourfront Centre

In order to truly be ourselves, we have to recognize and respect our parentage.  The song “Le Ho Shia” (『落雨聲』) is a beautiful reminder that mothers love and cares for us even when we were not able to appreciate what they had done for us. “Yong Chi” (『勇氣』), first sung by the Malaysian Chinese Singer Fish Leong (梁靜茹), talks about courage even when others do not agree with us.  The song “Chang Sheng Shiang Chi” (『掌聲響起』) reminds us that no matter how successful or glamorous we may become to be yourself.  The song “Tsi Chi”(『自己』) is the Chinese translation version from the theme song “Reflection” from the Disney animated film “Mulan”, which encourages the audience to look beyond expectations from others and to find our own values in our lives.  The set ends with the medley of “Jiu Gan Tang Muei Me” (『酒干倘賣無』) and “Chan Tzai Gao Gang Shang” (『站在高崗上』), when the medley started by remembering a fatherly figure that sacrifices for our sake, and then moving on to reflect on the beautiful mountain scenery from our homeland to end in an upbeat tone.
