A man singing the Cantonese classic “Hai Kuo Tian Kong” (As Broad as the Sea and Sky)” while playing a guitar on the street in Tokyo has gone viral across China’s social media. It has already gained almost 40 million hits on the web.

The singer begins in Japanese and then shifts to Chinese and Cantonese after he saw a Chinese woman in the crowd.  She never expected anyone to sing in Chinese in Tokyo, and hearing the song made her homesick and emotional.

Netizens, including quite a lot of Beyond fans, said they were so touched by the man’s street performance.

The man in the video was from Hainan Province and is now a tattoo artist in Shenzhen, in Guangzhou Province. People.com.cn reported he has performed in several European countries.

The video was shot in Christmas, 2015. The song sings of freedom, struggle and encouragement.
