I’m afraid people will get bored of it,” she said at the ceremony in the southern Taiwanese city of Kaohsiung after bringing her mother as a plus.

In a surprise, Chinese rocker Cui Jian, whose song “Nothing to My Name” won a 1989 anthem for student protests in Tiananmen Square in Beijing, was nominated for Best Mandarin Male Singer. He was not there in person and read a thank you note for him on stage.

While Taiwan has only 23 million people, its music scene has exaggerated influence in the Chinese-speaking world, not only in China but among the diaspora, in part because of its censorship-free creativity.

The Golden Melody Awards celebrate not only Mandopop, but also artists singing in Taiwanese – also known as Hokkien – Hakka and indigenous languages, a visible sign of the government’s efforts to promote languages ​​other than Mandarin.

Song of the year went to the Taiwanese-language “Oh Love, You Are Much Greater Than I Imagined” by the band EggPlantEgg.

Best Indigenous Singer was won by 83-year-old Osay Hongay, an ethnic friend from Taiwan’s eastern Hualien County. She gave her acceptance speech in her native language, which was translated into Mandarin for her.
