My favorite singer
Of all the singers I have ever known, I like Han Hong best, a female singer who devotes herself to charity career.
There are two main reasons accounting for my love for her. For one thing, her unique style of performance as well as her clear and pleasant voice gives me a special feeling, as if I’m falling into a world of peace. For another, she is very warm-hearted and fantastic, from whom I can receive positive energy all the time.
In a word, it is her gift for singing and her charming personality that make Han Hong a star. It’s truly a spiritual enjoyment to listen to her songs!
