+
+In an SMS two days before the Shanghai event of this year's Niuren competition,
+my friend at Youku asked me if I would want to perform a song on the stage.
+After some initial hesitation I eventually agreed to playing the guitar while
+singing. Originally, I wanted to perform 坏人 but at the venue I realized that
+this particular song is not quite as popular as 秋天不回来.
+
+Not very well prepared I got on the stage as the third performer that
+afternoon. I unexplicably managed to spoil the guitar intro, but still nobody
+seemed to really mind. It felt good not to feel the pressuring perfectionism
+flaring up inside of me again.
+
+With this precautionary tale in mind, go ahead and [watch the clip on
+youku](http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTgzNDE0OTU2.html)! If you prefer to watch
+a version that I'm okay with, then [check out the older
+video](/posts/2009-11-02-qtbhl.html).
+
+**Update (June 29, 2010)**: There is a [short clip on
+youku](http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTg1MjkyODAw.html) that aired on TV to
+advertise the competition. The clip was featured on the start page of youku and
+thus reached quite a large number of people.
