Xiaonan Sun and His Thoughts On Dimash

I don't generally watch reactors although I make an exception for some YouTube channels. One of those channels is Portraitart. The channel owner Xiaonan Sun is a crazily-talented artist, a deep thinker and I just love his insights into Dimash.

He makes illuminating comments, such as the state of the mind of the younger generation. He shared a story about how he was attacked once for making a 3-line comment on YouTube because it was so long (he commented on how this is very revealing of YouTube primary demographic) and he seems to really appreciate the paragraphs of thoughtful comments he gets under his Dimash reaction videos.

He feels that Dimash creates music that changes people (I don't remember his exact words) and I totally agree with him.

A few days ago, he made a reaction to 'Adai and Daididau' at BASTAU. He sees things in visual form and he said he 'saw' a pebble fall into still waters and ripple out in waves of colours. Needless to say, he was very impressed with the performance.

He feels Dimash will benefit if he gains a foothold in the US music industry. Well, time will tell.

Xiaonan moved the video to another channel which I currently cannot locate. So here is another video of him reacting to Dimash.

His first reaction and a WTF realisation

Happy To See Dimash Sing Daybreak

Dimash's latest song premiered on his YouTube channel on 5 December 2020 and what a beauty of a song it is. Simple lyrics and gentle melody but interpreted by the inimitable Dimash Kudaibergen! Song lyrics for 'I Miss You' Music by Igor Krutoy Russian lyrics by Igor Nikolaev ⭐English Translation (Thank you, Google and a kind dear) On the sunset shore is the place of our meeting, and a flock of birds is circling over the shore. It’s like the first time I’m standing here on the beach, but I don’t know. Where are you, who are you with? I miss you, your eyes and your smile. And here, for evil fate, I will come again to wait for our meeting. For someone it is so easy, for me it is so difficult to start my life from scratch. I can't do that. Here on the shore, believing and loving, I will wait for you. Where are you, who are you with? I miss you, your eyes and your smile. And here, in spite of fate, I will come again to wait for our meeting. Our meeting place is on the sunse...

The Story Behind 'Daididau' The Poem and Folk Song

While on the Internet, I found an article about the story behind 'Daididau' and it's the most 'complete' I've found so far. It makes for very interesting reading. Daididau : From Obscure Poem to Worldwide Hit https://medium.com/illumination/daididau-from-obscure-poem-to-worldwide-hit-b25e2ea74dd9 Excerpt : "A Silenced Poet It begins like a fairytale: Once upon a time there was a poet who was very much in love with his wife. Her name was Zuleikha Kurmanbaykizi, and his nickname for her was “Daididau.” Distant cousins and teenage sweethearts, they had been married off to other people by their parents, as was customary in their day. Only after they both became widowed at a young age were they able to build a life together. This young poet, Magzhan Zhumabayev, dearly loved his homeland. At the time of his birth in 1893, Kazakhstan was being ruled by the Russian Czar .... The Kazakh people, however, aspired to self-governance." In the article, the writer...
