The story of Shi Meng, a young migrant worker in Beijing who almost jumped off a bridge.
Wang Yueheng's narration and his song resonated with a tremendous response.
In the comment section of the video clips of the bar performance, netizens from all walks of life took the opportunity to share their stories:
"I'm just another Shi Meng. I've been in Shanghai for five years, and I was just laid off yesterday. I didn't dare tell my family. After listening to this song, I cried like a baby in my shared cubicle room. Thank you, Teacher Yue Heng, for letting me know that I'm not alone in this!"
"I was walking down the street in Shenzhen Science Park after get off work, listening to this song. 'The coffee shop and the square are three blocks apart, like the distance from neon lights to the moon.' It's so damn true! We are so close to the hustle and bustle, yet so far away."
"I also missed out on my own things because of doing good deeds... I just didn't suffer as much as Shi Meng, but Yue Heng really captured that sense of grievance and helplessness in his singing!"
"My girlfriend ran off with a rich second-generation heir +1. Five years of relationship couldn't beat a designer handbag from him."
"I was delivering food in Hangzhou and I just got fined for being late. I squatted by the roadside and listened to the whole thing. I felt so wronged that I wanted to cry."
"After twenty years of living in Beijing, I now own a house and a car and have achieved some success. But hearing this song still reminds me of the days I lived in a basement and ate boiled noodles. A tribute to all those who are still persevering in their wandering lives!"
These messages came from all over the country, representing different professions and circumstances.
The comment sections of various trending videos pieced together a vivid picture of contemporary urban strangers.
Every fan heard their own story in Wang Yueheng's rendition of "Beijing Beijing".
Beyond the emotional resonance evoked by the song itself and the countless stories shared by "wanderers".
