《English Translation》

优子: Teacher Liu, I read in the news that Zhang Jie doesn’t want to join the program 'Singer'. Isn’t he a very famous singer? Why doesn’t he participate?
刘娜: Zhang Jie actually really enjoys singing at his concerts. He feels that singing on his own stage is more free and more genuine, without having to compete with others.
优子: But 'Singer' is so popular, many people want to join! Does Zhang Jie really dislike competitions?
刘娜: Yes, he said he likes 'Live', meaning he enjoys true live performances. Once when he joined a program, people suspected him of lip-syncing, which made him very sad.
优子: Oh, I see. I think singers should have their own choices, right?
刘娜: That’s right. Zhang Jie believes the most important thing in music is authenticity and emotion, not just winning rankings. In fact, many singers hope to sing the songs they love, not only for competition.
