I Know 我知道 – Andy Lau
These heartfelt lyrics by Andy Lau are inspired by that of “For whom“, a song about efforts to contain the 1998 Wuhan floods –
“I don’t know who you are, but I know for whom you fight for.”
A set of photoshoots for Weibo’s red carpet event. It seems like all the major fashion awards this year are doing photoshoots and I love them.

This is the first time where the leader kept switching places. It went from Zhang Bichen’s Nianlun to M.I.C.’s theme for the drama that is still never going to air before settling on Zhang Jie‘s Truth.

My picks. Note that I have no music tastes and most choices are purely based on prettiness. Hence why Tong Liya gets photos but no links to the performance, because the rest of the show must have switched costume and stage designers.

Another cute acoustic song to add to my playlist. Really, I should just rename the playlist as My 徐良 Xu Liang. His new album 《我》, a composite of ten duets, features a different female artist on each song, from Guo Jing to Happy Camp’s Wu Xin. Seriously! How does this happen? I Will Be OK features Xiao Yan Zi 李晟 Li Chen.
When a lonely alien stuck on Earth meets a depressed clown next door, an unlikely friendship forms.
For “martian” Hua Chenyu‘s latest album, Quasimodo’s Gift, ee-Media went all out with a fantastical extended MV directed by the amazing Peng Youlun. You can listen to Hua Chenyu album on iTunes and watch the microfilm/extended MV below:
Every time I finish Music Monday I tell myself “I will do this over the weekend next time.” But next time comes around and I’m still doing it on Monday… *hanging head in shame*
