On the afternoon of January 15th, MIC (Majestic International College) welcomed a special guest—renowned vocalist Angela, who brought her "Glowing" tour Foshan stop to the campus. She engaged in a profound dialogue with students about youth, dreams, and perseverance.
During the sharing session, Angela openly recounted her growth journey from her secondary school studies to stepping onto the stage. She mentioned that she too experienced confusion over course selection and future planning during her secondary school years, but always maintained her passion for singing. Although she was clear about her love for music, she pragmatically completed academic courses such as A-Levels, enrolled in a finance major, and kept music as a continuously developing interest.
"I didn't give up my studies because I loved singing, nor did I abandon singing because of my studies," she explained through her own experience. Solid learning and course choices during secondary school do not limit future possibilities; instead, they can provide more security and confidence for the path to pursuing dreams.
When discussing the tour's theme, "Glowing," Angela cleverly connected it to the homophone "Growing," symbolizing shining while growing together with her audience. When teachers and students mentioned they had been listening to her songs since childhood, she responded emotionally, "It feels like I'm growing up with all of you."
She believes everyone has their own "glowing point," and what matters is staying committed to what you love and continuously investing in it. "Creativity is very important, especially in our industry—every work is a piece of art." She encouraged students to find a balance between academics and interests, and to amplify their strengths through exploration.
When a student representative asked, "How do you deal with anxiety and patience on the path to fame?" Angela shared candidly from her own experience: "Nervousness is normal, and the way to overcome it is through repeated practice." She recalled how her feet trembled uncontrollably during her participation in Produce 101, but "by the 100th time, you’ll start to enjoy the stage."
Regarding academic pressure, drawing from her own experience studying courses like A-Levels, she advised students to "develop interests, make friends, and maintain a balanced and open mindset while striving academically." She particularly emphasized that every attempt and every course during secondary school could become a support at some point in the future.
Several students exchanged ideas with Angela. One student, aspiring to finance but also passionate about vocal music, received her warm encouragement: "Just like I did back then, focus on building a solid academic foundation while never giving up your hobbies—the two are not conflicting. Youth is meant for exploring multiple paths."
At the end of the session, the atmosphere peaked as teachers and students took group photos with Angela and joined her in a chorus on stage.
"If you want to hear more stories about music and growth, you’re welcome to come to my concert," said Angela Hui, planting a seed of perseverance, exploration, and shining in the MIC campus with her sincerity and songs.
This event was not just a dialogue between an artist and students but a vivid lesson on how youth gains value through growth and how dreams can become reality. From the A-Level classroom to the world stage, Angela’s own story tells every student: academics and passion can walk hand in hand. On the path to chasing dreams, everyone can be the one who is 'Glowing'—as long as you believe and persevere.
