Shan Yichun has recently taken to social media to apologise to Li Ronghao, after she decided to perform his song, “Li Bai” at her concert without permission.
The whole issue sparked after Li took to social media to blast the singer for still covering the song at her show in Shenzhen, despite the fact that Li’s team has rejected her request to cover the song via email.
In the long post, Li questioned the other party’s motives for this action, stating that he no longer wanted to use “company arrangement, lack of knowledge” as an explanation, nor did he agree with using tears during the performance to gain sympathy. He believed that since they chose to perform without authorisation, they should face the consequences with the same attitude.
In response to Li’s statement, Shan took to social media to apologise, writing, “As a fellow creator, I understand how Mr. Li feels right now, and first of all, I’m very sorry. I will work with my team to clarify the situation as soon as possible and give everyone an answer.”
“I sincerely apologise to Mr. Li Ronghao and to all the other creators who have been troubled by this. As a fellow creator, I deeply understand the importance of copyright awareness and will definitely make this red line clearly defined. Finally, I want to thank Mr. Li Ronghao for creating the song ‘Li Bai,’ which gave me strength and warmth. Thank you, Mr. Li, and I apologise again.”
