I wanted to tell you guys, my grandma really wanted to come and see my concert but there she didn’t get to. This stage is for my grandma, I hope she can see it.

My grandmother always taught me, everything happens for the best and to let nature take its course. She said that I must always persevere, work hard, and that good people will always live a peaceful life. Thank you, guys. Thank you, everyone. Thank you.
