That's right, it's "Ten Years".
As is well known, this song also has a Cantonese version called "Next Year, Today".
And it was thanks to this song that Eason Chan first gained recognition in Xiangjiang.
However, back then, Eason Chan was only well-known on a regional level, with low recognition in mainland China.
That remained until a certain month in 2003 in the Celestial Dynasty.
Eason Chan's management company, Emperor, decided to have him sing the Mandarin version of the song, "Ten Years".
Initially, Eason Chan refused.
He felt he had already sung the Cantonese version "Next Year, Today" thousands of times, and the idea of singing a Mandarin version felt like selling second-hand goods to him.
But Emperor didn't give up; they presented Eason Chan with a rosy prospect if he agreed to sing the Mandarin version, a promise that it would dramatically raise his profile in mainland China!
Unable to resist their persuasion, Eason Chan performed the song.
