Charity concert to help needy children
Three Chinese indie rock bands, Mr. Sea Turtle, Penicillin and Nova Heart, joined forces on Jan 17 for a charity concert in Beijing, initiated by Chinese actress Zhou Xun.
The charity foundation One Night For Children, which is also the concert’s title, was launched by Zhou in 2014 and focuses on children with special needs. Every year, the actress gathers her celebrity friends to help and donate to the children.
Mr. Sea Turtle, featuring singer-songwriter Li Hongqi, bassist Jiang Han and guitarist Huang Wei, performed their latest single, Daughter of the Sea, and Where Are You Going, inspired by the earthquake in Wenchuan in Southwest China's Sichuan province on May 12, 2008.
Last December, Zhou released an album titled 1227, covering classic Chinese hits including 1972’s Girl Of South Sea, originally performed by Taiwan singer Teresa Teng, and The Wandering Girl Singer, a song originally performed by Chinese singer Zhou Xuan in 1937, which was featured in the Chinese movie Street Angel.
