According to the South China Morning Post, a grassroots singer in China became famous after stepping in for Hong Kong singer Hacken Lee, delivering an impromptu two-hour set following Lee's delay.
The touring concert, titled Hear Yourself, which featured six recognized singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan, took place in Baotou, Inner Mongolia, in northern China, on the evening of September 26, as reported by Shenzhen TV. Lee was originally slated to perform the grand finale.
However, Lee was unable to arrive on time because his flight, which was initially scheduled for the nearby city of Hohhot, was diverted to Taiyuan, Shanxi province, due to hail. Lee and his associates traveled from Taiyuan to Baotou via taxi, covering a distance of 570km. During this travel, the electric car they were using lost power, which necessitated a considerable amount of time spent locating alternative transportation.
