The first dream, the ultimate hope, the truest dream
You see him on stage
You see his confident face in the spotlight
You see him waving his hands
You see the applause and the cheers, all going crazy for him
He's always been seen smiling more often than not
You've always known that he's realizing his dreams.
You won't see his sweat and tears
He won't know how he's grown and paid for it
Chou never complains
On the way from college student to superstar
He sees his first hope as his ultimate dream
Melting his sweat and tears
into a dream
To a song.
Translated into songs, into smiles, into unwavering steps on the stage
He's standing in front of you
You see the spotlight flashing
You feel that
He's always standing closest to you
Here in the crowd, in your heart
He's being recognized for more than just his voice

The Truest Dreams (Zhou Hua Jian album)
The Truest Dreams is the fifth solo album released by Zhou Hua Jian, and the fourth Mandarin album. This is to some extent a concept album, with lyrics unified in the depiction of love and dreams, set against the mood of the night. Love and dreams share the same characteristics, realizable yet illusory. Instead of clinging to the lamentation of a passing dream, we should use our own hands to weave the future.
The title track "The Truest Dream" was composed by Taiwanese music godfather Luo Dayou, with a beautiful and catchy melody, it is a very classic old song, whose Cantonese version is "Wherever in Life" sung by Hong Kong singer Vivienne Chan. The first song on the album, "Love Me Again", begins to bring Hua Jian's songs into the realm of soprano and powerful. The album's song "This City Has Love" won the second Taiwan Golden Melody Awards - Best Song of the Year.
Another highlight of the album is "Legend of the Widow's Village," originally titled "Concubine," which describes an unresolved office romance. In the sad and romantic atmosphere of the two met, after a few entanglements, waiting for the person to return to his old lover, and the author can only sigh alone, "where is the woman". Zhou Huajian with this album was nominated for the first Taiwan Golden Melody Awards - "Best Male Vocalist Award", at the same time this album won Malaysia's first gold record.
