The concert will be performed in Mandarin and English and will feature his inspirational popular song “My Beloved Country.” Members of the New Lucky Seven from the Chinese TV show “Descendants of the Dragon” will also perform their hit “Master.” Martial arts performances by both the New Lucky Seven and the Shaolin Warriors of Chinatown will be a part of the evening.
