This concert, hosted by Qimen Dunjia and ACO MEDIA, is the largest, largest and most produced concert in Genting's history. Zhang Yixing sang and danced on the spot, sang more than 20 songs on the dance stage in a row, and improvised a song “Satay Sedap”, which made the fans cheering constantly!
Zhang Yixing opened with the majestic “Chinese Ship”. After a series of strong songs and dances, he said hello to the fans, occasionally mixed with a few Malay words, such as “Apa Khabar” (hello), “Aku cinta padamu” (I love you), and even introduced himself as “Nama saya Lay” (my name is Lay), and expressed his pleasure to come to Malaysia to sing this time.
Zhang Yixing explained that the opening “Chinese Ship” is a little sad, because it's been a long time since I haven't seen the fans and I miss the fans very much. What the song wants to express is “reunion after a long absence”, and said that it is a very special thing for people who miss each other to get together. Happy things, Zhang Yixing's short words immediately caused fans to cheer!
