Foreword#
Liu Xijun and Lam Hiu Fung’s duet of “Modern Love Story” was undoubtedly the highlight of the show. It must be said that Lam Hiu Fung’s voice is incredibly impactful, especially when singing in the lower register—not only is the tone beautiful, but the emotion is also genuine. This is truly a gift. Liu Xijun’s voice has always been her greatest strength, possessing not only high recognizability but also a captivating quality. What’s even more remarkable is that no one can imitate it—that harmonically rich tone is rare even among top-tier singers. Their collaboration was seamless and absolutely delightful to listen to!
Lyrics of “Modern Love Story”#
Parting isn’t right or wrong No need for much explanation when leaving In modern times, talking about forever is foolish With that night gone, the spark has faded It’s impossible to give a lifetime so much
When love ends, one must let go How could I want to pierce my heart If tired of it, don’t linger anymore If we part, there should be a chance to love another It’s impossible to spend a lifetime in emptiness
Our love is like a path half-traveled Deeply knowing that loving again will bring much pain I hope you can let me go lightly and easily Leave me with some happy memories to send me off All because after understanding, we see clearly
When parting, smile; tomorrow morning I’ll be alone Even in my carefree moments, I’ll remember the beginning
If your heart feels lonely, come find me again If your heart feels empty, come find me again No need to suffer when you think of me
Parting isn’t right or wrong No need for much explanation when leaving In modern times, talking about forever is foolish With that night gone, the spark has faded It’s impossible to give a lifetime so much
When love ends, one must let go How could I want to pierce my heart If tired of it, don’t linger anymore If we part, there should be a chance to love another It’s impossible to spend a lifetime in emptiness
Our love is like a path half-traveled Deeply knowing that loving again will bring much pain I hope you can let me go lightly and easily Leave me with some happy memories to send me off All because after understanding, we see clearly
When parting, smile; tomorrow morning I’ll be alone Even in my carefree moments, I’ll remember the beginning
If your heart feels lonely, come find me again If your heart feels empty, come find me again No need to suffer when you think of me
Our love is like a path half-traveled Deeply knowing that loving again will bring much pain I hope you can let me go lightly and easily Leave me with some happy memories to send me off All because after understanding, we see clearly When parting, smile; tomorrow morning I’ll be alone Even in my carefree moments, I’ll remember the beginning
If your heart feels lonely, come find me again If your heart feels empty, come find me again No need to suffer when you think of me
