Chinese Version: You move forward like the seasons, I move forward like Greyson Chance
演唱会前一天开始的紧张，激动，焦虑，幸福，期待，不安。真实的五味杂陈。他作为我的最初留美动机，我担心在见到他的那一刻，会因“完成了一个长久以来的人生目标”而失落不知去处。 但今天，却是开启了另一个起点。 曾以为这次是和过去的自己道别，让他只属于曾经；殊不知，我在他身上找到了新的人生目标。除了最开始见到他时莫名流下的眼泪，看完整场演唱会，更多是充满平静而强大的信念和力量，还有感动。没有曾经担忧的陌生感，他真的就像一个真实的老朋友。他一直走在成为一个优秀全能而独特的音乐家的路上，总有一天我会成为像他一样优秀的音乐家，和他在同一舞台歌唱。我也一直在我的路上。 他对音乐事业的努力和认真的态度，以及背后的心血，都在这一个小时中展露无遗。 这几年的低调沉默，终于成为今天重出江湖的伏笔。演唱会效果完全超乎预期的感人和震撼。自信稳重张弛有度的台风，实力的唱功，意味深长的歌词，恰到好处的曲调，配上他独特真假声线。整场演唱会，每一刻都渲染着他自己的色泽。他已然将自己打磨成一块玉，没有刺眼的光芒，却努力地成为自己。温润平静，却坚韧倔强。 I can see something pure and clean inside of him, no matter how time changes. 他内心的善良正直，我认为是来自于纯朴的家乡和家庭的爱与教育。他身上有桀骜的不羁，却没有放荡的痞气。 He knows what is right. 他的歌词没有纸醉金迷大金链子，有的是和最爱的人的对话，是给困境中友人的鼓励，是对每一天对人生的思考。 他说他去年第一次感受到“爱”。他从未体验过这样的感情，想和他结婚，抚养孩子。但当那个人说不想再和他在一起时，他经历了前所未有的绝望。于是他把这份绝望化成力量，写成了今天的新专辑portraits。 他的一首歌，写的是他妈妈曾经对他讲，希望若有一天她离开了，他会是一个good man. 他小时候在公众场合骂脏话，被妈妈严厉批评，说那是boy才做的事，而她，只想培养a man. 他说，成长中最棒的一件事，是developing the perspective of how life works. It’s constantly…
