Zhang Liyin’s performance of “The Rose Inside My Heart” showed her unique singing capability, not only receiving the entire audience’s enthusiastic applause, but Li Guyi’s high praise – “You are a very young singer. Your singing gives a feeling of being at a live concert, giving the original song much more impact.”
