After releasing his single "Take a stand at thirty" on his 30th birthday and signing up for online dating, the all-round musician, Anson Hu, has been actively preparing for the release of his new album. The new album is still under production, and Anson recently accepted an exclusive interview from reporters. Anson opens up about his 10 years of persistence in music and admits: music is essential in live, how can we live without music.
Anson is the type who isn't particularly good at talking, but once we talk to him about music, he will be in full flight. From the best new-comer award ten years ago, and the countless large and small awards within these ten years; some music critics say that he is man worthy of a true musician, while others say that he is music, music is him, and he can't live without music.
During the interview, Anson tells us about his journey of music through ten years. He loved music since childhood and he could be described as infatuated with music. He loves to sing, thinks of singing as not only an occupation, but also a hobby. He is very glad that he has maintained this hobby for ten years, and he is even more glad that he could achieve the liking and approval from the public for his music. He refers to his musical productions as his children because each note comes with a lot of hard work and sweat.
When asked, "Why are you music, can you live without music?" Anson is suddenly quiet, and with a serious tone he answers, "When I first picked up my first instrument and wrote my first creation, I have formed a liking, a connection with music. Some people say that meeting a dear friend is sufficient for lifetime, what I say is, I have selected music as my dear friend, and I am both very happy and very lucky. Music is like oxygen to me. It is essential, and without music, I don't know how to continue."
When asked by reporters about his next ten years, Anson is suddenly spiritful and playfully says, "Just like my inspirational single "Take a stand at thrity," I wanted to give myself a new challenge and to compose a song that will be entirely of my own work, as a present to myself. My new album is under a tight schedule now, but I believe that when fans hear my new album, they will understand my thinking."
In the next ten years, Anson Hu will use his passion to water his creations that are just starting to bud, and he will sing for you all!

Thank you for this :) He sounds awesome, a real music nerd!
I don't understand this phrase though:
"After releasing his thirty-year-old single "Take a stand at thirty" and signing up for online dating, the all-round musician,"
Do you mean that he released this single at the age of 30? I guess it was just a typo :) I do that sometimes too lol Also...is he really on online dating sites?! lol I wouldn't think that a singer or any famous entertainer can do that ^^ Anyway I'm going to listen to this single, I might have missed something here.
Hi Myra!
Thank you so much for letting me know about my mistakes! Half the time I don't proofread what I have written after I have translated it, plus sometimes I get caught in the Chinese itself, and I directly translate it without noticing (Chinese and English grammar....). :P
I have made the appropriate corrections. You are right, he did release the single at the age of 30, hehe.

For the most part, I honestly don't think that Anson will be able to meet someone online, but it's a very good and indirect way to tell his "future other half" that he's serious about settling down into a relationship. Plus, *hint hint* that online dating site that he signed up for, a huge sponsor for Anson's 30th birthday party, hehehehe.... :D :D
Ah, sorry for replying late, my pc bugged the other day so I couldn't post a reply.
You're welcome! It's hard to transition from a language to another, I understand as I do some translations too :)
Oh thanks for the interview! He is really serious then, wow, and I wouldn't think he was into the traditional Chinese girl type!
@ Hi Myra!!~
Don't worry about the late reply. I don't get comments all that often, so I don't notice if get comments until I deliberately check for them, and it takes me some time to notice my comments too.
Thank you for understanding what I have to go through, you're awesome!!
Anson is a good kid to the family, and even a traditional kid in some ways. You can say that he became the way he is from his life experiences plus the things that he values. Before, Anson likes the girls for certain looks, but I guessed he realized that those types of girls can't take care of him and his mom, hahaha.
Hi Denise,
Ok, I see :)
Lol yeah, he matured about his tastes in women, good to know :)
