His songs are a bit sad, but his boy-like smile can quickly warm you up．And a lot of people love A-do(阿杜)for both reasons．
He has been singing for only two years, but he’s already a big star in Asian’s pop world．The Singaporean(新加坡的)singer has already made three albums．Together they have sold over five billion copies across Asia．
Last Friday, China’s Music Radio named him“the Asian King of Pop”．A-do said he did not expect the award．“It is great for me．It makes me want to work even harder．”
His new album“Hello” came out in December．He sing with the same rough voice, and he puts in some rock music．In the“Hello” music video, Vicky Zhao(赵薇)is with A-do outside on a cold day in Northern China．
A-do used to be a house builder．Every day after work, he would sing by himself．His workmates heard him and said, “You can go in for a contest．”
A-do hasn’t changed much．He still gets nervous in front of cameras．One of his fans said, “He is real and he never shows off．He is an everyday hero and shows anyone can do well if they work hard．”
Jack is a twenty-year-old young man．Two years ago, when he finished middle school, he found work in a shop．Usually he works until ten o’clock in the evening．He is very tired when he gets home．After a quick supper he goes to bed and soon falls asleep．His grandma who lives downstairs is pleased with him．
One day, on his way home, he met his friend Mary．They were both happy．He asked the girl to his house, and she agreed happily．He bought some fruit and drinks for her．And they talked about their school, teachers, classmates and their future．They talked for a long time．
“Have a look at your watch, please,”said the girl．“What time is it now?”
“Sorry, something is wrong with my watch,”said Jack．“Where’s yours?”
“I left it at home．”
Jack thought for a moment and found a way．He began to stamp his foot on the floor, “Bang! Bang! Bang!”
