One of Jay Chou's popular songs has recently been turned into
serious teaching materials for Taiwan primary schoolers.
Jay Chou and his
mother
Jay, furiously popular in Asia, once had his lyrics
included in the exam question for senior high school
students. One Taiwan university student even chose to
write about Jay's phenomenon as subject matter for their
thesis.
The song, Listen to Your Mom's Advice from
Jay's new album, has touching lyrics, which was considered
educationally significant by some Taiwan teachers.
When Jay was informed this news, he said, "I'm so happy, my goal
of writing this song has been achieved."
Jay's latest album Still Fantasy has reportedly sold 3
million copies in Asia.
