Hit song makes Guangzhou metro station a cultural hot spot
It's located at the confluence of Guangzhou's Metro Lines 2, 3 and 14, linking to Baiyun International Airport to the north and three railway stations to the south.
Because of its unique geographical location, Jiahewanggang has become known as a station for bidding farewell, either to a past life or to a relationship, for countless people in the city. Guangzhou is a city of 20 million people, including 8.2 million migrant workers.
"People always say Jiahewanggang wishes you a bright future and also we'll never meet again," said Hailai Amu, the singer who once came to Guangzhou to pursue his music dreams.
"I was deeply touched when I heard this, so I decided to create a song together with my good friend."
When the song was released on Jan 22, it immediately struck a chord with netizens. It was streamed more than a billion times, and people shared stories related to the metro station online.
