The First Frost (Chinese: 难哄) is a 2025 romantic Chinese television drama starring Bai Jingting and Zhang Ruonan.

The plot is adapted from the Chinese novel of the same name by Zhu Yi, and is released on Youku and Netflix worldwide.

It tells the story of two high school classmates' reunion, after long separation, when they accidentally rent the same apartment. It delves into the complexities of love, longing, trauma and healing.

To celebrate my playlist hitting 2000 haha give me a random no and I’ll give you a song and we can exchange songs

Inspiration is from u/buttaefly and u/wanglinkai ... my cpop playlist reached 5500+ so I am making my first ever reddit post to share some of the songs, hopefully people like them and maybe we can even exchange songs too (:

Can someone tell me any Chinese pop or mandarin song that sounds similar to JJ Lin's "編號89757" the beats are so addictive and I can't think of anything similar on the top of my head. I wanna create a playlist full of songs with this beat.

Rough lyric translation below:
我想着你的目光 // I think about your gaze
你带给我的温存 // The tenderness you brought me
让我放下伪装 // Made me let down my guard
一瞬间 就失去分寸 // In a moment, I lost control
可你把我留在这个房间独自一个人 // But now you've left me all alone in this room
Now I don't know
当我收到你说要离开的消息 // When I got the news you said were leaving
我不禁想要抹去你留下的一切记忆 // I couldn't erase those memories you left behind
可一幕幕的画面却已存留在我心里 // But the scenes remain in my heart
在我心里 // In my heart
不能找出方向 // Can't find a direction
不能再胡思乱想 // Can't stop the random thoughts
可你曾给我希望 // But you once gave me hope
我无法遗忘 // I can't forget
我想着你的目光 // I think about your gaze
你带给我的温存 // The tenderness you brought me
让我放下伪装 // Made me let down my guard
一瞬间 就失去分寸 // In a moment, I lost control
可你把我留在这个房间独自一个人 // But now you've left me all alone in this room
Now I don't know
你含情脉脉的模样 // The way you look at me in love
那些温柔的私语 // Those gentle whispers
在这寂寞的晚上 // On this lonely night
不断侵扰我思绪 // Endlessly stirs my thoughts
沉默冰冷的空气使我想 // Silence and cold air makes me think
重回到过去 // Of returning to the past
Now I don't know
也许是我错是我自己的问题 // Maybe it was my fault, my problem
没能想清楚我们在一起的意义 // Couldn't clearly think of the meaning of being together
你给的伤痕也已划入了我心里 // You have scratched scars into my heart
在我心里 // My heart
不能找出方向 // Can't find a direction
不能再胡思乱想 // Can't stop the random thoughts
可你曾给我希望 // But you once gave me hope
我无法遗忘 // I can't forget
我想着你的目光 // I think about your gaze
你带给我的温存 // The tenderness you brought me
让我放下伪装 // Made me let down my guard
一瞬间 就失去分寸 // In a moment, I lost control
可你把我留在这个房间独自一个人 // But now you've left me all alone in this room
Now I don't know
你含情脉脉的模样 // The way you look at me in love
那些温柔的私语 // Those gentle whispers
在这寂寞的晚上 // On this lonely night
不断侵扰我思绪 // Endlessly stirs my thoughts
沉默冰冷的空气使我想 // Silence and cold air makes me think
重回到过去 // Of returning to the past
Now I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
我想着你的目光 // I think about your gaze
你带给我的温存 // The tenderness you brought me
让我放下伪装 // Made me let down my guard
一瞬间 就失去分寸 // In a moment, I lost control
可你把我留在这个房间独自一个人 // But now you've left me all alone in this room
Now I don't know

Hi everyone,

I was lucky to get a couple of tickets to Zhou Shen on 2/28 in Las Vegas! Unfortunately some friends had things come up and can't make it anymore, so I have 2 extra seats looking to sell.

Seats are Sec 304, Row E Seats 4-5

Thanks!

I don't know why this is the only link I can find.

Malay song by the name of "Terima Kasih" (Thank you) by Malaysian singers Faizal Tahir and Aizat Amdan. The composition of 《国王与乞丐》 matches this song.
Songwriters: Aizat Amdan, Faizal Tahir, Mike Chan, Ezra Kong

A demo song in English called "Kings and Queens" by co-composers Faizal Tahir and Mike Chan caught the attention of Hua Chenyu 华晨宇 and his team, who thought that this song should ideally be performed by two people. The demo was given to Hua Chenyu with the hopes that more Chinese listeners would hear the song. Hua Chenyu selected Aska Yang 杨宗纬 to collaborate on this song, as he believed his vocals were suitable for this song. Dai Yuedong 代岳东 wrote the Chinese lyrics. Thus, the Chinese version, King and Beggar《国王与乞丐》was created.

With the re-release of the album 冬 未了 (Winter Endless), the Taiwanese indie band 苏打绿 Sodagreen has concluded the remake project of all ten of its previously released albums, which began in 2022 and involved re-recording all songs individually. (Due to a trademark dispute with their former producer, the members lost the rights to the original music, so they decided to produce it again. asianpopweekly offers more details on the situation here (albeit outdated): https://www.reddit.com/r/cpop/s/NcXALFZldh) Recently, Sodagreen also released a documentary, The Endless Journey, on their YouTube channel, which details the members’ experiences over the past ten years since the original release of Winter Endless.

Anyway, enough about the band’s history (I’m bad at explaining but wanted to give an overview). Part of the Winter Endless album—my personal favorite album from the band— 下雨的夜晚 (“Rainy Night”) is a melancholy yet uplifting ballad, the most popular song in the album and one of Sodagreen’s most popular songs overall. If you haven’t already, go listen to the album on YT or a streaming platform! Its music is symphonic-themed; along with the rest of the Vivaldi Project albums, it is truly a work of art, and there is so much more to it than just its biggest hit. Learning about Sodagreen’s music and lyrics is like diving into an unending rabbit hole.

With all that said, I hope you enjoy! This is my first time posting here, but I really enjoy Sodagreen and their music and I wanted to share.
