XZ's first performance at the Dragon TV 2020-2021 Year New Celebrations translated as below. Very emotive, full of imagery. CP brains activated on such an unexpected choice of song.

Xiao Zhan’s cover of相爱后动物感伤 [Lament of animals after falling in love]

Original singer: 张惠妹 Amei (Zhang Hui Mei)

A sad cat leans against the window bars,
licking its wound after a fight.
A white bed sheet,
wrinkled into a ball of unintelligible mess.

Whose cigarette butt is it?
That despite its arrogance, spreads its greed that cannot be reasoned.
Whose umbrella is it?
A little warmth, is it heaven or suffering?

At the cliff top, time always passes slower than the ticking clock.
The sweat that dries in the wind, covers the skin, like an invisible layer of melancholy.

Whose feelings cannot be publicized?　
Who is in a strange room, pretending to be brave?

Who in the night, afraid of decaying,
allows his breathing to become suddenly savage?

Let’s love first.
Seize a set of shoulders, block a little regret.
Let’s love first.
Gnaw a pair of wings, survive another season of darkness.
Let’s love first.
Aren’t animals all like this? When their desires cannot be met.
Let’s love first.
Lament later, reason later, lament later, reason later.

Should I be a little braver?
Or to really be frustrated with life?

From the roof terrace, looking down to a window.
There is one that embraces you when drifting to a satisfied sleep.

Hello hello!! If you haven' been following me on Twitter where I've been most active in the past months, I just want to let you know that yesterday, the largest XiaoZhan anti Supertopic (Supergroup), the '227 Historic Moment' has been shut down by Weibo.

The focus on cleansing of online abuse and slander is a movement initiated by the government to curb what is becoming a commercialised business model. Underground, you can actually buy 'anti packages' for publishing articles on social media and rates increase with the number of followers + view counts and clicks.

It is good news not only for XZ but also the broad community. It is highly anticipated that XZ's drama series with Yangzi will be shown on TV during the school holidays.

Please join me on Twitter for more news and tidbits from Weibo.

Hello everyone! I haven't posted on my Youtube channel for a while because there hasn't been much content available lately due to the corona virus fiasco. Some of you may have also heard about the series of events concerning Xiao Zhan lately that has blown out of proportion.

I'm not going to write an essay on it. It is a difficult situation and no one is faultless. However, if you see anyone on IG, Twitter or Youtube writing vulgar messages with a clear intention of defamation, just ignore them or report the message as being abusive.

I'm still fairly active on Twitter (@wenwen11113) posting photos and news of various dramas/translations. If I don't see you there, I hope to see you again when more shows/artists regain their traction in the entertainment world.

You can watch Xiao Zhan's latest singing performance on this show where singers are invited to perform with old Chinese Poetry as lyrics to wellknown song melodies. This is China's way of trying to pass on treasured ancient literature in a way that is well received by the younger generation.

I have translated the lyrics for this song. (Only writing down the distinct parts.)
There are a few versions lying around but remember, when translating, we cannot always go for the most literal. Many times, it is the picture that is being painted or the feeling that the songwriter tries to convey that need to be shown in the translated words.

Disclaimer: If you are using my translations, please give credit to my channel. Thanks


Heart Beat – Xiao Zhan & Na Ying
(translated by wenwen1111)

How long has it been since I last saw you?
Thought you were out there somewhere.
Turns out you were living at the bottom of my heart,
accompanying my every breath.

How far apart we were.
Thought I couldn’t detect your presence.
Who knew that your shadow was so long,
that I could see you just as I look back.

Chorus
The past, let it pass.
It is too late to love you from the beginning.
The white clouds intertwine with the blue sky.

If we cannot be together forever,
at least grant us the courage to reminisce,
the right to embrace,
so that you can understand,
the traces of my heart, beating for you.

Always wishing to see you again.
Still enquiring about your whereabouts.
But it turns out, you were living inside my body all along,
guarding my memories.

In this week's Our Song, XZ finally got to sing the song he wasn't able to sing a few weeks back: JJ Lin's "Summer Breeze". This was followed by a combo of ABBA and a Chinese song called "The Annoying Autumn Breeze". I will leave this for you to interpret at your own fancy :P.

Edit2: Sorry I stuffed up XD... Yes the two links are different videos... You need to watch the first one on the computer, not the phone as many people said. I opened it on my computer and it works fine.
Edit: I put up a second link in case you can't see the first one.
Tonight at the 2019 Headline Awards in which Xiao Zhan attended, there was a performance of Wuji by a guy I don't know but that is not the point of this point. The point I want to make is that, the accompanying dance was by two female cosplayers and they incorporated a pretty shocking move in their dance. Please watch at the link:
