"Go Chengdu 2018"



After court work on April 22, I flew to Chengdu to take part in the 2nd Panda International Forum and study tour April 23-24, 2018. The Chengdu host first approached me in 2016 to support the event, focusing on creativity and culture. I readily agreed and believed that I could write a theme song.


As the 1st Forum was approaching, I got inspiration, wrote and recorded the first edition of the song "Go Chengdu". While travelling to see the giant pandas, the participants tried to sing at least the verse of the song together. Having taken the Chengdu footage, I published a new edition in Weibo.


Before the opening of the 2nd Forum, the host wanted to play the edition of the music video. I thought I had it stored in a USB with me and told the host that would be perfect. Only minutes before the playing did I realize that I only had the first edition which did not contain any Chengdu visual.


The solution that came up to my mind was to use the right edition that I had published in Weibo in 2017. When I was in a rush, the computer and wifi went very slow. Fortunately, the nice secretary-technician was patient enough to wait until my published music video came through.


Before I spoke in the first afternoon session, I used my karaoke-like music video to energize the audience. Many of them tried to sing along with me, and one lady chased me to get the link. Naturally, I was thrilled and was encouraged to produce "Go Chengdu 2018" after court work today!
