Original:
Last Saturday, I went to a concert with my friend. The star is a HongKong artist and singer. Actually he was my idol several years ago, but I haven’t pay attention to him for a long time. Since my best friend is his big fan now, we made an appointment to go watching the concert together once we got the information. Apparently, that was a right decision. The concert was very wonderful and both of us enjoyed. More fortunately, we met him accidentally before the concert started. We arrived the Shanghai grant stage a little early and passed by a building when going to the entrance. We found there were bunch of people crowded seems like waiting somebody. After 2 minutes, he came out and began the praying rite. we saw he wore the sunglasses and gauze mask，burnt three sticks and prayed for the concert going well. it is hongkong tradition. We were very excited. the only thing we regretted is that we should buy two sets more near to the stage.

Last Saturday I went to a William Chan concert with my friend. He is a famous Hong Kong artist and singer and was my idol several years ago, but I had’t paid attention to him for a long time. Since my best friend is his big fan now, as soon as we heard about the concert we decided to go watch it together. That was clearly the right decision! The concert was wonderful, both of us enjoyed it very much and we were even lucky enough to meet him accidentally before the show started. We arrived at the Shanghai Grand Stage a little early and, as we passed by a building on the way to the entrance, we saw a crowd that was apparently waiting for somebody. After 2 minutes, he came out and began his praying ritual. He wore sunglasses and an air pollution mask, burnt three sticks and prayed for the concert to go well. That is a tradition from Hong Kong. We were very excited. The only thing we regretted is that we should have bought seats closer to the stage.
