Person without dream
On the stage of "Voice of China," when a judge asked Perhat Halik his dreams, he replied: "I do not have any dream. I just do the things I really love. When the things are done well, dream will come to me."
The unorthodox answer surprised many audience members, including the judges.
"Perhat Halik is like a mirror. Looking at him, I know what I have lost these years," said Wang Feng, a Chinese musician and composer and Perhat Halik's coach in the "Voice of China."
A song can become popular overnight, but half a year later, can anyone remember it? It's a question Perhat Halik always asks himself.
Pureness, simplicity and hope may be what people who really understand Perhat Halik and his music feel from his songs.
"I don't understand music, but Perhat Halik's songs make me cry and let me know I have tears and dreams," wrote a 64-year-old fan named Jian Shixian on Sina Weibo.
