It was really emotional for him to perform this. He did cry during rehearsal, and he had to stop and reign his emotions in and commented that he will have to be careful not to be too emotional during the actual performance. He wasn't abused physically as a child. His parents divorced when he was about 2, and he was largely left alone without an adult parent at home. He was also bullied by other kids, so it was indeed quite a tough childhood that he had. He ever said that the one thing that his dad said the most to him was 'Don't ever expect me to teach you anything'. His dad had never praised him until the day he won the 'Super Boy' championship, that his dad finally told him that he felt proud of his achievement. He was already 23 years old by then. Their relationship had improved when his dad remarried when he was around 11,but he was still largely the ignored child. His step mom said that he was a melancholic child, and always prefers to be left alone. So yeah. Tough life.

Being ignored , and never affirmed in any way, is a an abuse, perhaps as damaging as physical cruelty.

As other people said that its his interpretation of Jay Chou’s song. He added the last line though. ” I still wanted you call you dad” 😭 its a genius touch.

Afterwards he said "Art comes in many forms and until now he's always sang to tell a story but this time he wanted to tell a story in order to sing."

This is not Hua Hua's story. This is his transposition of a song by Jay Chou which was done in a rap style. But. as you can see, the power of Hua Chenyu is his ability to bring strong emotions into his music and performances.

Wow. Thank you for the information. He made it seem so personal to him. What an artist!

He is the artist who expresses the strongest emotions I've ever seen. The best story teller undoubtedly. In addition, his creative talent is also amazing. Innovative and unique. The message is extremely powerful and meaningful. Amazing is not enough to describe.

This song alone is proof how special Hua Chenyu is , who else can convey so much emotion with so a simple song . thank you Josh for your pleasant reaction.

Anybody who doesn't feel at least a tiny jolt in their soul listening to this - whether it be for guilt, hurt, empathy, or all the above.... there's a problem.

Hua Chenyu is an amazing performer and artist phenomenal

MY SUPERSTAR HUA CHENYU IS AMAZING💫🔥💫🔥💫🔥

I thank you from the bottom of my heart 4 reacting to this song. I pray that God will still the violence in the world but domestic and other. May we live in peace and love. Thank you again

Josh, I am 49 years old and heard this song the first time about 2 years ago. The first time I saw it I was mesmerized, and when he belted, you could hear the anguish, the anger, the hopelessness. I sat there for 5 minutes or so after the song, just crying silently to myself. Even now it still gives me chills, and watching others react to it always chokes me up. Loved your quiet and heartfelt reaction.

You're the true "reactioner". Watching each of your videos tearing all the time.

Would you like to listen for his "salt of the earth", "seven personalities", "bull fighting", "I really want to love this world"..? I really love and appreciate the way he brings powerful subjects (such as inner self, pain, breakdown, conflict, humankind, rescue, environmental protection... ) into his songs and his performances. Love you and may you always be loved.

@Divine Saint YES BEST ARTIST AND SINGER👑

Hua Chenyu is a brilliant composer and performer. This song is a cover, but Hua has his own wonderful compositions. His latest album, released in April, "New World", is on the Spotify music platforms ... His music conveys messages, has deep lyrics, addresses all musical styles, is a professional. Seven personalities, Madhouse, The Sacred Tree, Conversation with Martian children, I really want to love this world, just some of his compositions. Watch Singer 2020 and there you will see his compositions. Thank you ! He is a brilliant artist who deserves to be loved and promoted.

Your reaction is very touching and even though you may chance getting strikes or blocked by not pausing more, you were respectful by waiting to the end. This song tears me apart and I know many can relate to this. His "crying" out is like releasing his emotion and frustration. There's no other performer who can express music like this. Fake Monk, exaggerated, 7 personalities are other examples of his artistic performances.

Hua chenyu is the best 🌺🌺❤️😍

Again, Hua is a unique performance artist. He was in a competition SUPER BOY in 2013 & he sang this without the conversation part, this was from a show called THE NEXT, audience compete against him and they have a way of picking the song, then he has 24 hours to rearrange the song which he said he was better at. He has a lyricist who conveys through the word what Hua puts into his music. The YT CHANNEL ENGLISH FAN SUBS ate more than happy to behold you out. Ask for Dahlia Kuo, she is very knowledgeable. I left some links to a few songs in your reaction to CHILD. He was 27 here he is 30 now and looks young but not like a young boy like he did, something in the Chinese culture wants to see him very young, in my opinion, In the FB page for HUA ENGLISH SUBS look for Dahlia Kuo, she can help you a lot.. Last year Hua wrote 5 songs, a few dealt with Depression he

I am so happy you got your video back. 🤗 And I could have seen it now. As others have mentioned this is not his own story, but he make you feel it is his story. In my opinion nobody conveys feelings through music as good as him. ☺ He has composed a trilogy last year. The first song is about fighting out of depression. It's called "I really want to love this world " , the second song is "Madhouse", the third song is called "Conversation with martian children". Looking forward to your next Hua Chenyu reaction. And all your other reactions too. 😊

The song relating to his own childhood is fake monk. He explains a little bit about it in the prestage Interview. If you do fake monk please watch a video which included the prestage interview. That would be great. If you want to see a totally different side of Hua Hua you could react to his own song I don't care. 😉

I just want to say that this song is NOT his own story, yet he can make everyone feel like this is what he has been through personally, that how amazing he is!!! This song is a rearrangement of a original rap song written by Jay Chou, and Hua Chenyu rearrange it within 24 hours in the TV show "The Next(Season 2)".

Хуа Хуа чрезвычайно талантлив..

Thank you Josh for sharing your stance on domestic abuse. There are a few songs he only performs once or a few times a year, because he has to go so deep into his emotions. This is one of them. Also: I am what I am and Us, the latter he performed on Singer 2020. Hope all works out fine for you. We will be good and wait patiently for your next reaction video. Stay healthy!

Josh, Thank you for this reaction. Hua Chenyu's performance plus your soft voice and your feeling to bring this song more deeply emotion. Thanks again.

This is a very emotional song.

What a nice reaction, I really appreciate it. Cant wait for another reaction of Hua Chenyu. Have a good day!!!

Emotional, powerful performance.....thanks for your reaction

My understanding is that he was not abused but was neglected and left alone. But he is such a strong performer he captures the pain and emotion of the lyrics in his performances. Thanks for watching.

This proves it not just about the high notes all the time. He is amazingly talented.

Your reaction made me crying again😭 But thank you very much for your true emotional reaction and did not stopped during his performing. Hua is a genius composer, he always pay more attention on the song’s music. When i listen to his song, I am very enjoy the music. Recommend his original song I Don’t Care. It is a rock song. Also hope you can react all his performance in the TV program Singer 2018 and Singer 2020 because each of them are amazing and total difference. Take care and stay safe! C U😀

I truly believe that this is the saddest song ever, not just because of the lyrics but also the performance, the sound of the artist's voice, which he uses like an instrument. This is not a Hua Chenyu original but a rearrangement for a competition show, where skilled amateur singers competed against professional singes. The amateur singer was allowed to select the song for the professional and thus song was assigned to Hua Chenyu by his challenger, and not his free choice. However, Hua Hua (his nickname) loves and respects the original artist and has a great deal of empathy with his painful memories, so did a marvelous job rearranging the song. He explained in an interview that he really enjoyed participating in The Next, because of the creative challenge given each week. As for translations, for English lyrics for Hua Chenyu try the Hua Chenyu English subs channel kzread.infovideos. Their versions are quite good because they are the fruits of a group of people who have thought about the meaning and the context and truly love the artist. For other artists try lyricstranslate.com/.

Hcy can turn anybodys songs into pure gold. Hes a singer, musician, performer, artist but he is first and foremost a composer. His own work is mindblowing, so i hope youll chose one of his own composed songs to react to next. Equal to heaven (Qi Tian), Jackdaw boy, Bullfighting, Aliens aso ... pick and chose. All amazing. I like your style though 🙂

HuaHua is truly the best actor/singer, my favorite performer, this is a tough one to watch for me. His performances are always emotional but not always dark, although this is his darkest. I wish you would react next to his more recent creations, always powerful and emotional but not as dark, like his songs Madhouse at his last Haiku concert, or Ashes from Fireworks at T Mall Festival, both performances from last November. I'm giving you links with English subs in reply to this comment, if they don't show and you're interested, please check your spams, thank you!

This song is nice

Thank you, Josh, for reacting to Hua Chenyu, and this song. In the original, the spoken was done in rap, which Hua does, but he chose to speak the the words instead. It gave much more meaning to the song. Hua suffered loneliness and bullying and no acceptance from his father and later, his stepmother. At one point, and fairly recently, he contemplated suicide. His music and the love from his fans keep him going. I have added him to my prayers because I see the hurt child still inside him. He has made several upbeat songs such as Nunchuks and I Don’t Care, which I enjoy, but he shows his soul in songs such as I Am What I Am and Us as well as Madness and Fake Monk. I wish you would continue to react to Hua Hua. I am a “Dear” of Dimash, but have also become a fan of Hua Chenyu as well. Their singing styles are different, but they both touch your heart and soul when they perform. Dimash is lucky enough to have and had a strong family with love and encouragement which, while Hua’s father is and was wealthy, that was really all he had. Again, thanks and keep safe and well. Susan from Canada

An all too common life refrain...brilliantly presented...

That was a wonderful reaction and a powerful performance by Hua Chenyu. When you started talking about Mr. Rodgers I knew you were going to say his name before you did, I had my kids watch him even though sometimes they wanted to watch something else, in the beginning, but they always enjoyed his show.

Thank you for that! 🙏

Try his Salt of The Earth 08-09-2018 Mars concert, it is epic.

Please do more Hua Chenyu!! His current album New World many songs and performances up on his channel. He is stunning!

I love Hua, who I . Found through Singer, same as Dimash. I know you want to go through Dimash’s journey but he just released a new video which he co directed and it is a real wake up call for what is happening in the world now, how his country has gone through wars, but there is always reason for hope. It is a stunning piece and you might want to make an exception in this case.

💕Hua Chenyu💕

I was so glad to see you react to this song. It's a touching song. May I please request "Nunchucks". .. If you're interested in another unique way of his singing (like this), there's Fake Monk. I've seen a few reactors turned off from this song because it's... different.

Awesome reaction as always dude. Hua Hua can certainly take you on a roller coaster ride. Along with Dimash these two guys know how not only to sing a song, but also how to perform a song. I’ve watched just about every performance of these two and am so pleased you’ll be watching and reacting to more of Hua Hua. A good pick me up after watching Dad I’m Home, is Hua Hua’s duet Nanping Evening Bell. Check it out, your soul,will soar 🤗. Ps. Glad to see those holes in the wall have gone 😂

Really appreciate you reacting to this performance. Many of his performances, effects people like the way you react. It takes a moment to soak in what one just seen. One of many things I like about Hua when he rearranges songs is he takes his time with phrasing each words so meticulously that you are drawn into his performance and want to listen. Hua wasn't physically abused, but emotionally neglected and feared his father as he showed no love or affection and was cold hearted. He lived mostly on his own with various nannies and was left to learn about life on his own. Hence living in his own world so to speak. His father did financially give Hua what he needed in material matters. Of course his father finally praised him for the first time and apologized during Hua's final performance on Superboy 2013 when he was 23. It appears they are in good state now. As mentioned in the comments Fake Monk is HuArtistic masterpiece that he sang on Singer 2018. He debuted this song on Superboy 2013 and improved his version on the Singer. His recent masterpiece 7 personalities was debuted at his 2019 concert and sang it again on Singer 2020 competition. There are so many more he composed that have very deep meanings and artistically arranged and not all are so dark. He performs these songs in a way, that you feel the pain, loneliness, and neglect. He wants people to be aware of those around them and show care even if one appears to say they are ok.

Hola!! Éste tema de HUA CHEN YU me deja en silencio y con mi mente llena de mil cosas.....He podido apreciar en varios vídeos de él, que es un gran artista, innovador, excelente intérprete muy ameno en sus conciertos . No había visto alguien como Hua Hua. Me gustaría que reaccionaras a otro tema que canta: Exageratte....estaré atenta...gracias...Chao chao

Appreciate if you could react to the original composer and singer of the song as well, Jay Chou. He wrote many amazing songs and this is one of of them. He didn’t start out as a singer. It was said that the song was written for an established singer but the singer rejected the song saying it is impossible to sing it. The singer was not exactly wrong as the lyrics was too emotional to handle and it cannot be really be sung. Jay took the song back and ‘sing’ it in his trade mark rap and a new style was born which took the market by storm. His recent work is Mojito which he has incorporated the style into a Cuban rhythm which worked really well. As for Hua, I am in awe of his live performance on stage. There may be many singers who are good vocally but he seems to be at a different level as he is able to immerse, feel, convey any songs in the most impactful way. His version of Dad I am Back is incredible. As it is, there aren’t many cover of this song due to its complexity but he nailed it with his own interpretation and style. He did another Jay’s song, Nunchucks which is also a very difficult song. You may wish to check that too, along with the original version. Hua’s original compositions are good as well. You may wish to check them in a program ‘Singer’ where he sang live.

Just so sad. I wish him the best in his future. I also hope his Mom is ok. Just heart wrenching.

Hi. Just to share. Hua has only mentioned his Mom twice. The first one was on a programme with Hua going to Japan. This was very early on in his career, probably in 2014 or 2015. On one of the episode, he was talking about his family and the divorce and he said- "I've to protect somebody so I'm not going to talk about it anymore." The second time was in 2019 in the variety show Ace vs Ace season 4 inwhich he is one of the 4 co-hosts. They were celebrating the International Women's Day. Everyone was talking about thanking their mothers. And Hua suddenly said- "I should thank my Mom for who I am now." Everyone knows about his parents' divorce and his lonely childhood so nobody said anything else. It seems that his Mom's family is musically talented. But Hua doesn't talk about his Mom (probably to protect her🙏) so all his fans know and respect that. Hua probably mentioned that because he loves that programme Ace vs Ace seasons 4 and 5. While he is the KING of the stage when he performs, he's a completely different person off it. He's super shy and very very soft spoken. But he's improved tremendously since joining the show. He has said he's become happier and he feels he's right at home on set which is very rare since he's so insecure. It was in the last episode( the theme was about friendship) of season 5 this year when his very good friend, whom he adoringly calls 2nd Elder Sister revealed that Hua almost jumped off the balcony early last year. That's why it's quite sad to hear him sing his new song- I Really Want to Love This World. Hua dedicates this song to all who suffer from depression.

He once said something along the lines of anything can be an instrument- with the voice being the one that you can turn into a sound that you can't find from other physical instruments. He's rather known to be able to pick up pretty much any instrument and teach himself how to use it decently
