American Guy Does Homemade Chinese Pop

November 28, 2007 | Author: Carl Pei | Filed under: Humor, Videos

Does it even get better than this? This 20-something from New York has made himself known on the Chinese interwebs. Dubbing himself honglaowai (hong=red, laowai=foreigner), he has released numerous music videos in which he sings in Chinese with a heavy accent. Oh, and he calls himself a communist running a blog in Chinese. Below is a video where he apparently covers a song by Taiwan Pop sensation Jay Chou. Apart from pop, this guy usually sings nationalistic Chinese songs from the Communist era.

Can he be serious? Who knows… Anyway, here’s my prediction of what will happen: Some rich, fat Chinese businessman decides China needs a western popstar and finds this laowai singing familiar tunes online. Profit. :( More of him on Youku.

Well, you know now that if the guy needed the money to study abroad, he definitely now will get some kind of scholarship at least.

His name is George. He is gay. He is a famous “Rice Queen” in New York City. Rice Queen = Any white man who prefers to or only dates Asian men in derogatory term.
Although he claims he never been to China, and learns Chinese on his own. It’s commonly believed that he has help from his Chinese or Taiwanese boyfriends.
There you have it.
