Looks like you can't edit once you've posted.I was going to add that I've never heard this song or either of the artists [Liu Li Yang (simplified Chinese: 刘力扬; pinyin: Liú Lìyáng, English name: Jade) and Aaron Yan (traditional Chinese: 炎亞綸; simplified Chinese: 炎亚纶; pinyin: Yán Yǎlún) ] in this duet before but was pretty blown away by the beauty of the song.I hope some other Poddies will enjoy it too.

Polling over 350 thousand votes, she emerged as the champion of the Guang Zhou district competition. Being one of the favourites to claim the top three spots during the nationals, she was crowned 2nd runner up. Her charismatic personality and androgynous looks, paired with a soulful vocal, has won her a lot of fans, who are known as 'Li Zi' (Chinese:栗子, English: Chestnut), derived from her middle name 'Li'(力). On January 4, 2008, she joined HIM International Music --------------------------------------- Aaron Yan (traditional Chinese: 炎亞綸; simplified Chinese: 炎亚纶; pinyin: Yán Yǎlún) is a Taiwanese singer, commercial model and actor.

He can speak and understand Mandarin, Hokkien, English and limited Japanese and Cantonese. He was a sophomore at Chinese Culture University, majoring in Journalism and News Broadcasting.

刘力杨's debut album, 《我就是这样》, is really good! I picked it up on my trip to Singapore last year.
