  Foreigners in Jinjiang

  This foreign singer loves to show up in Minnan dialect

  He, from Nigeria, has lived in China for 10 years. Apart from speaking fluent Mandarin, he can also show up in standard Minnan dialects from time to time. "I have a very deep feeling for Jinjiang. I want to stay in Jinjiang all the time." He is called Bobby Bex, a famous folk artist in Jinjiang and even in Quanzhou.

  In 2008, Bobby, who loved music, came to China with his friends and sang in turns at many bars. By coincidence, he was invited to perform in Quanzhou and became a hit on the "Minnan Dialect Spring Festival Gala" on Quanzhou TV.

  "The first Minnan song I learned was 'Working hard can be win'." recalls Bobby. At that time, he knew nothing about the Minnan dialect and used the "phonetic" method to memorize the lyrics word by word. Today, he will not only sing "The Love in Hands", "I Ask Heaven", "It is good to rejoice" and other well-known Minnan songs, but also join the Quanzhou Minnan Language Music Society.

  Because of music, Bobby came to China, and also because of music, he got to know many Chinese friends. With the help of local friends, he has successfully produced two original albums and released them to the Philippines, the United States, Africa and other countries and regions. Not long ago, under the recommendation of a friend, Bobby, who is able to sing a good song and amuse and dance, also took part in the film "Wildland Calling," and is expected to see Bobby's movie debut in August.

  "Thanks for the support and help from my friends in Jinjiang." Bobby told reporters that Jinjiang people are warm and hospitable. He has never felt lonely in some place far away from his hometown. He is particularly impressed by the unique drinking culture of Jinjiang people. "Jinjiang people like to invite me to drink, I am also a little good at finger guessing game." Bobby said with a smile.

  Bobby, 48 years old, lives in the southern part behind Jinjiang Bridge. Jinjiang has already become his second hometown. Hot pot and fried sea oysters are his favorite Chinese foods. Not only that, he often does some small business. "Jinjiang's shoe and clothing industry is very famous. Sometimes I will sell the shoes and clothes produced in Jinjiang to Nigeria through maritime transport." Bobby said that the quality and cheap shoes in Jinjiang are very popular in his country.

  "I am very happy to have the opportunity to come here. I love Jinjiang and I want to have a Chinese wife." In China for 10 years, Bobby has never returned home in Africa. In the new year, he hopes to make better music, set up his own family, and bring his family to China.
