Chinese dramas and films

On 4 July 2026, Zhang Xin Cheng gave his first solo stadium concert, titled «New Journey», at the Shenzhen Bay Sports Centre.

He performed 25 songs live, including a beautiful rendition of «Imagine» and «Bohemian Rhapsody»; the concert closed with «Lonely Light», a track from the drama «Southern Archives».

Even from thousands of miles away, just browsing through the photos and videos that fans posted online, the concert’s visuals and overall stagecraft leave an extraordinarily powerful impression.

But here is what those who actually attended had to say. It is impossible not to share this wonderful review from Weibo with the Russian‑speaking audience (thanks to the original author).

“Most of us know Zhang Xin Cheng as an actor who immerses himself in various scripts and brings other people’s stories to life. This time, at last, it was his turn to step onto a stage that belonged entirely to him – to express emotions he had long kept hidden, to say the words that his roles never allowed him to speak, all through songs.

This concert, named «New Journey», made it abundantly clear just how much effort Zhang Xin Cheng had poured into it. It was not merely singing – every aspect of the staging and musical arrangement was thoughtfully designed, like a cohesive and healing, gripping narrative. It was obvious that he took it extremely seriously, with no trace of perfunctoriness, channelling all the passion he had accumulated over the years.

Beneath the stage was a soft sea of lights, and on it he shed his actor persona, presenting himself to us with genuine sincerity. Freed from the constraints of a script and the need to play a character, he simply followed the melody and opened up freely.

Life, at its core, is a continuous journey – full of partings, releases, pauses, and a slow, steady movement towards the light. It was a joy to be present at this gathering and to witness his new step forward. May this concert end in triumph, and may every future journey be filled with the freedom and openness that carry passion forward, bringing us even more beautiful songs and moving performances.”
