Sun Nan shouted excitedly, “Sing it ten more times!”

Recently, on the famous Children music TV program The Wings of Song, this little girl Elizabeth with an elegant cheongsam had made a profound impression on the audience.


Elizabeth was born in Australia and now lives in Hong Kong. On the stage of The Wings of song, this gifted girl sang a song, an opera version of Jasmine Flower. Since Elizabeth grew up overseas, her Mandarin was not fluent, which completely had no influence to her brilliant performance. She made a perfect combination of western opera and Chinese folk song, as well as a fusion of Chinese and western cultures, therefore brought unique music enjoyment to the audience. 



Sun Nan, a Chinese well-known musician, was impressed deeply and acclaimed Elizabeth as a nightingale when she sang. And then, the host asked her if she could sing other Chinese folk songs. So Elizabeth sang a piece of Flowing Stream. Sun Nan was so fond of her voice that he shouted excitedly, “Sing it ten more times!” 



Later, on the Class Meeting of this program, Elizabeth sang Jasmine Flower together with Guoqing Cai. This talented girl was not disappointed. As soon as the music started, Elizabeth turned into a little elf and made an excellent performance.
In fact, this is not the first time that Elizabeth has showed her sweet voice on a public stage. As early as January, 2017, on the Finals of 2017 Hong Kong International Vocal Open Competition, Elizabeth astonished the audience by singing a wonderful song and won First Prize in Youth Junior Open Class. Below let’s appreciate her outstanding performance!
