Carly Beth takes selfies at the Imperial College in Beijing, capital of China, Jan. 17, 2024. In 2017, Carly Beth was a college student learning music. A chance encounter with a Chinese pop song ignited her interest in Chinese music. With guidance from a friend, she started learning Chinese and singing Chinese songs.

In 2019, Beth began covering and sharing Chinese songs on short video platforms. Chinese music producer Wang Ruixing noticed her work and they started to collaborate on creating Chinese songs.

During her first visit to China in the summer of 2019 with her mother, Beth deepened her understanding of Chinese history and culture, strengthening her commitment to singing Chinese songs. Upon returning to the United States, she continued covering more Chinese songs, gradually building her fan base.

Since Beth's debut Chinese song video, she has covered over 200 songs in over four years and released multiple Chinese singles. Currently, she boasts over one million fans on Chinese short video platforms, accumulating over 200 million total views.

In her recent visit to China, she explored Harbin in northeast China's Heilongjiang, Hangzhou in east China, and Beijing. "It is the first time I have sung to my fans face-to-face, leaving me with unforgettable memories," Beth said. (Xinhua/Chen Shuo)
