Collection of Letters from Abroad /Foreign Fans

As I've mentioned in the index page, Lee-Hom's Planet has become a United Nations. It is being visited by fans from various parts of the world! May it be Asia, America, Europe or Australia, Chinese or non-Chinese. I'm both surprised and proud to realize that Lee-Hom's music influenced and impressed millions, including those who don't know Mandarin at all or understand only a little. I'm sure that Lee-Hom will be extremely pleased as he has proved that music is borderless. 

Here is a list of the locations of my visitors. I've also edited some of the emails and messages which I think are special and different from the others. Most of these people do not know Mandarin or only understand very little. I put them here so that more people can share their stories and Lee-Hom's success in proving that music is borderless.   

  1. Malaysia
  2. Singapore
  3. Taiwan
  4. Hong Kong
  5. China
  6. Indonesia
  7. Korea
  8. USA
  9. UK
  10. Canada
  11. Australia
  12. Austria
  13. Scotland
  14. Others

¡@ Hi! Yan Min! 

Thanx a lot 4 your reply. I really appreciate it. Actually i forgot which website i got your name from but it was one of Lee Hom's website. Anyway i'm a Malay boy and i hope you don't mind. i'm 17 years old and lives in Sungai Besi.

Actually i've got a lot of chinese friends and when the first time i heard Lee Hom's song i really liked it. So my friends gave me his REVOLUTION album for my b'day! I was so surprised.

Lee Hom was my first chinese male singer that i like cause he got that a little bit of English style.

Now i've already got his second album "IMPOSSIBLE TO MISS YOU" i like most of the songs and i can sing a few of them by my friends help.

Which songs do you like?

Did u know that his english name is ALEXANDER and i don't know why he never uses that name?

So in the next email can u tell me about yourself and what u know 'bout him 

ok! Gotta go.. Until then.... CHOI KIN!!!!!

Hi!
I just wanted to say thanks for putting so much into your website on
Leehom.  I am a huge fan of his, and he is truly amazing, but being an
American, it's so hard to find information on the boy in English.  So,
naturally I was very happy when I found that most of your site is in
English. 
Keep up the good work.

Your fellow Leehom fan,
Stacy

Dear Yan Min,
    I am a full on American.  I can only speak a small amount of Mandarin, and I can't read or write any Mandarin.  I learned about Leehom while I was in Taiwan teaching english. Music is my passion, I am a musician, mostly classical stuff.  So, when I went to Taiwan, not knowing how to speak the language,  my favorite television station became MTV, because I could hear music from pretty much everywhere.  Well, one morning, I heard Leehom's song "Forever's First Day" from the television in the other room.  I thought to myself, "whoever is singing that song is incredibly passionate about music, I must buy this album."  But, I didn't make it to the front room fast enough to see who it was.  A few months later, my roommate finally found his CD, and I was hooked.  I started asking my Chinese friends about him, and they started looking him up on the internet for me, and giving me information.  My friends and I even went to Taipei to see him, and get his autograph .  That's how I found your website, one of my friends gave me the address.
And, once again, it's the best website on Leehom in English. 
Thanks again, it is really good to know you.

Sincerely,
Stacy

Subject: I can't enter the novel hut!!!
Dear Yanmin,
Hi! How r u? I'm Astrid, a fans of Lee-Hom from Britain. U know, I have a problem to enter the novel hut in ur Lee-Hom website (Lee-Hom's Planet). I've tried it many times (in 2 days) but it's still not working. Is it my own problem or problems occurred on that page (sth like technical difficulties)?

Hope that this problem will be sorted so that I could go in and carry on to read the novel "If u have heard my song"--I love it so much, and, of course ur novel "Forever's First Day" was brilliant! I cried when I was reading that!!! Very touchy!!!

By the way, can we become friends so that we can always talk about Lee-Hom and about ourselves, ok?

Ok, I've got to go now. I'm looking forward to hearing from u ASAP!

Take care!

Comments: Dear Yan Min,
Hello there! I’m Sue Ann from Australia. I’m an international student currently residing in Australia. I’ve been here for about three years already. We’re ¡§own people” if you want to know where I am originally from

...... 

As I have been in Australia accent for three years, I can speak some aussie accent but I’m not good enough. I would much prefer American accent to Aussie accent because American accent is more professional-like ¡K¡K. When Lee-Hom speaks American, my heart beats faster than ever¡K. Haha!

I paid a visit to your homepage. There, I found many interesting things about Lee-Hom. As I read your page, I could sense that you are definitely someone much younger than I am. I am 20 this year. Secondly, you are someone who is keen to put up a page different from others. I like your attitude. It is very encouraging. What is the point of having a page similar to thousands of other pages when you
can just get information from their homepages?
It will certainly be a waste of time and energy. Besides that, I admire your hard work and patience. As you said, you spent at least 6 to 7 months preparing for this homepage. Moreover, errors did not stop you from continuing your work. I am sure Lee-Hom will be very happy if he knows how much work you have put into this homepage. Keep it up! I wish to visit your page again in the future. I hope that there are more updates by then.

Oh yeah, there is one poem I modified for Lee-Hom. Do you want to read it? 

......

Words can move me, impress me and can even make me drop a tear. This holds true as I felt tears in my eyes when I heard ¡§Mary Says”. This song is my favourite amongst all. It is a very nice song and at a glance, you will never expect to know there is a sad story behind it. How impressive!

I love Lee-hom’s music diary so much. If I had some detailed understandings of music, I guess, I would have appreciated his emails more. Nonetheless, based on my little understandings of music and looking at the non-music side, I can tell Lee-Hom is a very analytical person. He knows how to express himself well. Leonardo Da Vinci let us admire the beauty of nature by painting us a picture, Lee-Hom, on the other hand lets us admire the beauty of music by producing his own melody and lyrics. He is as skilful as an artist! You could see how much effort he puts into the album by reading his music diary and how much he wanted the media and public to focus on his music. He is definitely not someone who is too commercialised in the sense that he wants his album to sell out.
His musical and analytical nature enables him to produce such a fantastic album like (Forever’s First Day). I have not heard his album before. Yet, the music is already playing in my mind after reading the lyrics on Angel’s website. Yeah, I can’t disagree with the fact that this album takes the whole out of him. This album tells us his
stories. It is an album, which enables us to penetrate through his heart.

I think I have written enough here.
Should you be interested to continue receiving my emails,
please write to me at coffee_bug_y2k@yahoo.com
Have a nice day mate!

Sue Ann
