Taiwan singer Jam Hsiao was overcome with emotion and his fans were delighted when two marriage proposals took place during one of his recent mainland concerts in southern China.
On August 17, while Hsiao was singing his signature song Marry Me, in Guangzhou, the capital city of Guangdong, two men in the audience knelt in front of their girlfriends, reported Dazhong Daily.
A video clip that went viral, shows one woman wearing a white wedding veil while accepting her boyfriend’s proposal.
A surprised Hsiao burst into tears on stage and became so overwhelmed that he covered his face with his hand and stopped singing for a while because he was sobbing.
As he continued to sing, he frequently wiped away his tears with a tissue.
The singer’s fans found his crying amusing because he is known for being an emotional person. He has shed tears many times in public, especially when he sees others cry.
As he gathered his composure, Hsiao told his Guangzhou audience: “Thank you for sharing your joy with me at my concert. This song is very important to me. I know many people are waiting to hear it.
“Last year, I proposed to my wife so I understand this moment and I cherish this joy. Thank you for witnessing my growth and my happiness,” he said.
The video of Hsiao has trended on mainland social media, receiving 430,000 comments on Douyin alone.
“Some people would think his own girlfriend was proposed to, ha ha,” one person said.
“He is such a cute boy,” said another.
The 37-year-old pop idol enjoys huge popularity on the mainland, with 18 million followers on Weibo.
He is dubbed the “God of Rain” by internet users who noticed it often rains heavily during his concerts. Hsiao finds the title amusing.
He and his agent, Summer Lin, 51, married in October last year.
Hsiao won praise on mainland social media for deciding not to have a baby, saying he could not bear the thought of his beloved wife suffering the pain of childbirth.
