Katara in Wuhan

Dear Friends,

I hope wherever you are in the world, you’re able to celebrate Chinese New Year in peace, good health, and prosperity surrounded by your loved ones.

I also want to send my prayers to our friends in Wuhan during this difficult time. Many years ago, I visited Wuhan and cherish the memories I have of the city and its people. My deepest condolences to those who have lost loved ones, and I pray every day for healing for all those who are sick.

Like the rest of you, I will keep refreshing the news with a broken heart while hoping that the brilliant teams of doctors, hospital staff, and researchers can bring comfort, healing, and a swift resolution to this crisis. 🙏

Love,

Katara

亲爱的朋友们

我想祝大家新年快乐，恭喜发财，万事如意。

我也很想告诉你们，我天天在想着我们武汉的朋友。很多年前我去过武汉，我珍惜那天的回忆。

对于失去亲人的人，请接收我最真诚的哀悼和慰问。对那些朋友们生病了，我希望你们都早日康复。

像你们其他人一样，我会继续刷新网上的新闻，很感谢医生科学家和医院工作人员。

武汉，加油。❤️🙏

卡塔拉

This is the first Chinese song I ever wrote and recorded. It’s not the first one I technically “wrote” because that one I sang only to my pet fish. I told my Chinese teacher the lyrics to the fish song and he laughed good-naturedly as said it reminded him of a children’s song.

And that really hits the nail on the head. You’ve got to crawl before you can walk. Then you must walk before you run. Everything happens one foot in front of the other. My first Chinese song was simple and silly – inspired by the pet fish I loved so much. I was like a little kid putting new words I learned together and seeing what worked.

“Happy New Year” is my second Chinese Song that I wrote to celebrate Chinese New Year. At the time I wrote this song and recorded the video, I was still living in New York and I had no idea I would ever live in China and get the opportunity to celebrate the holiday in Beijing!

Celebrating New Year in Beijing was so exciting, and the experience deserves its own blog to do it justice. In the meantime, I really hope you enjoy listening to this song!
