Qingqing: Huahua, this Saturday I’m going mountain climbing. Do you want to come along?
Huahua: Thank you for the invitation, but I’m going to Kaohsiung to attend Mayday’s concert! Yeah!
Qingqing: Did you manage to get tickets? That’s impressive! With so many Mayday fans, tickets are really hard to come by. Going all the way to Kaohsiung, it’s quite far, huh?
Huahua: For Mayday, I’ll do whatever it takes to get tickets. Kaohsiung is not too bad! I’ll head there on Friday; the high-speed rail is very convenient. Plus, this year is the 25th anniversary concert tour, which makes it extra meaningful!
Qingqing: You’re truly a die-hard fan of theirs. So, which Mayday song is your favorite?
Huahua: There are too many to choose from! Every one of their songs is catchy, and they seem to tell so many stories! I never get tired of listening to them.
Qingqing: How else could they have stayed popular until now? Wherever there are Chinese, you can hear their songs.
Huahua: Absolutely, I’ll tell you all about the concert when I come back on Sunday!
