TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – A 14-year-old girl moved the public at a baseball game in the U.S. state of North Carolina by performing Taiwan’s national anthem in the original Chinese language, reports said Wednesday.
The reason for the performance was a visit by the Taiwan baseball team to Little League team the Durham Bulls’ arena on June 30 as part of the International Friendship Series, the North State Journal reported.
Even though Kylie Robinson had to perform the song a capella, she said she lived in Taiwan from 2013 to 2015. “At school, we had to sing it every week, at weekly assembly. So it’s kind of in my brain,” the North State Journal quoted her as saying.
The invitation was based on her singing the Star Spangled Banner at the same baseball stadium in front of 5,000 fans at a game between the Durham Bulls and the Charlotte Knights on June 12. [FULL STORY]
