The story begins in the remote African country of Nigeria, where there is a young man named Steven, whom everyone affectionately calls his brother. This good brother has a bold dream, that is, to follow his brother's footsteps, to China to find their own stars. Speaking of his brother, he was a singer who was slightly famous in China. He was called Hao Ge.
My brother has always heard that China is a place full of opportunities and thought, "my brother can become famous there. I have to try." So, carrying simple luggage and full of blood and dreams, he embarked on a journey to China.
When I first arrived in China, my dear brother was really eye-opening. High-rise buildings and bustling streets made him, a young man who had never left his hometown, feel excited and nervous. What he didn't expect most was that language became his biggest obstacle. He could only rely on the small note that his brother had written to him in advance to find his brother step by step.
When his brother Hao GE received his good brother, he was already a little famous singer in China. The excitement of the two brothers was beyond expression when they met. Hao GE showed his brother around to make him feel the culture and enthusiasm of this country. My brother watched his brother perform freely on the stage, and his envy and worship went on and on like a surging river.
But the dream road is not so easy, my good brother soon realized that it is not easy to be in a foreign country. Language barriers, differences in lifestyle and customs all make him feel lonely and helpless. On one occasion, he almost got lost in the street because he didn't know Chinese. At that moment, he really wanted to buy a plane ticket and fly back to Nigeria.
However, whenever this idea pops up, his brother Hao GE's encouragement and family expectations always cheer him up. Hao GE said to him: "in China, as long as you dare to dream, there will always be opportunities." My brother was deeply touched by his brother's words and decided to grit his teeth and continue to find his dream in this land full of opportunities and challenges.
Under the guidance of Hao GE, my brother began his own musical journey. At first, he just sang in a small bar, singing his stories and dreams into the microphone every day.
At the time, he was a nobody, and the audience paid him little attention, but that didn't discourage him. Instead, every time he stepped on stage, whether to an audience full of unfamiliar faces or to a deserted bar, he saw it as a small step toward his dream.
With the passage of time, my brother's efforts began to be noticed. On one occasion, his performance in a bar was accidentally chosen by a music producer. Since then, his life has changed dramatically.
He was invited to participate in a well-known music talent show "Avenue of Stars". In the program, he conquered countless viewers and judges with his love of music and his dedication to dreams, and finally stood on the stage of the final.
Although he failed to win the championship, the competition made his name a household name in China. More importantly, he met his partner in the competition-a gentle and virtuous Chinese girl.
The two fell in love at first sight and soon established a romantic relationship. My brother uses his own story to tell you that even in a foreign country, as long as you stick to your dreams, love and success will come unexpectedly.
But the story of a good brother doesn't stop there. As his fame grew, he began to appear frequently on major TV shows and concerts, performing with China's top singers and becoming a real music star. His masterpiece "I love China and I love here" has become a song in the mouth of countless people.
Although he has achieved great success in China and has become the envy of countless people, he still has a wish in his heart that he can live permanently in the land he loves.
Although he has applied many times, he failed to do so each time for various reasons. This made him feel both confused and helpless. But he did not give up, still adhere to his dream of music, hoping that one day he can really become a part of this land.
As time went by, my music career in China became more and more brilliant. Not only did he achieve remarkable success in the field of music, but more importantly, he and his wife went through a happy time together.
Their family is full of love and harmony, they have a son and a daughter, and their children are healthy and lively, which is one of the great joys of their brother's life. A good brother often says that his family is his most precious wealth and his strongest backing in a foreign country.
However, although his brother has achieved great success in his career and family, he still has an unrealized dream-to get a permanent residence permit in China.
For his brother, China is already his second hometown, and he is eager to live here permanently and enjoy the sunshine, rain and dew of this land with his family. In the dead of night, he would think about what he still lacked and why he could not get the permanent residence he had in mind.
My brother is not depressed because of this. He believes that as long as he perseveres, he will realize this dream one day. Driven by this belief, his music career continues to flourish.
He not only left his footprints on the Chinese music stage, but also spread his music and stories to the world through the Internet. He has more than one million YouTube subscribers and has become an international music influencer.
Throughout the journey, my brother has always adhered to a principle, that is, to convey love and hope through music. His songs are not only the combination of melody and rhythm, but also his perception of life, the celebration of love and the pursuit of dreams.
His music inspires countless people with dreams like him, no matter in China or in other corners of the world, there are people who feel warm and powerful because of his brother's music.
