Speed！！！！ I'm coming~~~

My eyes: Fuhua My ear: Female voice Mihoyo: Male voice My Brain: Loading...

I must make this clear. HE, Zhou Sheng, is NOT imitating a female voice. This is his most natural and comfortable voice to sing. He is also a opera (bel canto) singer by training. His unique talent was not just pure talent alone but also through a lot of hard work, honing his singing skill in his early years of harsh opera training. This dude has my full respect!!

Congratulations to Rubia in winning the “2021 Weibo Games Award!” Rubia is voted Top 1 with 5733897 votes as the annual best game music.👍

imagine my shock when I searched Zhou Shen and it turns out she is a HE. an actual male singer who can reach really high notes and sound female. Damn. he's blessed

The singer is a man who was discriminated badly and treated like a joke for having a female singing voice. However, he is such an amazing singer that people came to respect, accept and enjoy his talent.

For those whose new to Zhou Shen's singing. Allow me to briefly summarize it. Besides his amazing singing, he is such a kind, caring, humble, refined and respectable young man which is hard to find nowadays. Some elders with great influence said that his voice is. Imagine if this voice is bestowed on a girl, it won't be an excitement and noticeable. Now he is loved by all the decent people of all ages. You should go to his other songs and I guarantee you will enjoy the songs as well as his singing skills

I have few months of life left... And hearing this makes me happy, brings tears of joy to my eyes. Thank you Honkai for making me happy with this beautiful story, music and everything... The ones that I've loved, please remind me with this song.

Breaking news... the children’s chorus at the end is also sang by Zhou Shen.....omg

Damn, what a nice voice. *it's a dude* Dude, what a nice voice.

Japan: I have an army of amazing Japanese singers Mihoyo: We have a Zhou Shen

His voice is countertenor , he used to be ridiculed, bullied by people because of his voice. To get to the success he is today, he has worked very hard, worked hard in tears, his steel spirit overcomes all ridicule. His family is very poor, his appearance is not also tall and handsome. A person with no background or appearance, but with a special voice, to become a good singer is 10 times harder than others. He always challenges himself every day, often changes many new music styles, every year he releases more than 50 songs. Most of his fans come to him because of his voice and loyal to him because of his humble, kind, intelligent, optimistic personality. He is the representative of the type of person who is not tall but everyone has to look up. I’m his international fan . A good singer, a good personality

I am seeing some misunderstanding in the comments so I would like to clarify :) Zhou Shen's voice is natural. He does not fake a 'female voice'. The reason why his voice may sound 'feminine' to some people is because it did not deepen too much during puberty. Actually, the more you listen to his songs, the more you will realize his voice is more akin to that of a child than that of a woman. And just as I said in the previous paragraph, it is not as if his voice didn't deepen at all during puberty. It did, but to a much lesser extent compared to other males. So obviously, he still has the timbre of a (teenage) male, which is especially easy to observe when he sings deeper notes. He sounds like a shonen protag in the lower end of his vocal range, while sounding like a siren in the higher end. This versatility results in a running joke among some fans that whoever hires him to sing theme songs saves lots of money as he completes both the male and female parts XD

Befall: pride and powerful Nightglow: desperation Cyber angel: a hope and a way out Dual ego: i feel alone Starfall: i want to scream Honkai world diva: my determination Rubia: warm memories that's what I felt when I heard that song...

Great. First my brother draws me into Genshin and now I come across this masterpiece. You got me a second time Mihoyo. I'm intrigued. And Zhou Shen is amazing. I hope we can get a song like this for Genshin sung by him!

I never played HI3 but why am I crying for this song? It's so beautiful!

NO PLS NO DONT CRY

Mind blowing!!! The "children chorus/harmony" from 2:37 was sung by Zhou Shen. My god! "What a nice voice." "It is a dude" "Well, I know that." "The children voice is Zhou Shen too." "WHAATTTT??!!!!!"

Zhou's voice is so sweet, this song is heartwarming.

He has such a beautiful voice!!! I feel very relaxed listening to him!

I'd be honest, I didn't even play HI3. I just found this song because I like to hear any good game OST on youtube and this what was recommended for me. Hesitated at first, now this is the first game OST that growing on me even when I'm not playing them. The emotion and stories are well presented in this song, and it's not a joke to shed a tear after listening for a while. The music is top-notch, it has the progression across all verse and interlude. The overtone part was perfect. The singer is just flawless. Angelic. Can't say anything much more than that. As an audiophile that loves to play games myself, it always a treat to find some games that put so much effort into their opening BGM, character OST, Arc OST. Because that truly helps to immerse in their character or world-building. Once again, well done Mihoyo. You have convinced me to download your game and enjoy the story that's about to unfold. You otakus really save the world, aren't you?

you know what. i dont care whether he is a man or a woman, i just love his voice so muuuch.... 😍👍

Found this song over half a year ago when times were hard, a close relative of mine had died, I couldn't say goodbye to her. Finding this song is like experiencing the music's stellar epiphany, and I still come back to his voice or this song every day without fail, it's become a little life booster for me. I'm forever thankful for Mihoyo, hearing his pure and clean voice within my lifetime is an ineffable fortune of mine.

Life blooms like a flower Far away or by the road Waiting for the one To find the way back home Rain falls a thousand times No footprints of come-and-go You who once went by Where will you belong? I feel your sigh and breath In the last blow of wind Not yet for the story on the last page It's not the end Life blooms like a flower Far away or by the road Waiting for the one To find the way back home Time flows across the world There is always a longer way to go 'Til I reach your arms A madder there for you Up against the stream Waterways will join as one Tracing to the source No more strayed or lost You will see petals fly When lament becomes carol Could you please hear my voice That hungers for a duo?

Fu hua , The girl gone through many things in her life. Betrayal, Despair,Regrets. Finally She got a Happy Ending

Just remember that this song is from Kiana's perspective as the lyrics are her heartfelt words to Fu Hua Zhou Shen: *"[I hope my song] will help project the feeling of kiana's heartfelt voice to fuhua, so that from this moment, she won't ever be alone anymore"*

Zhoushen is singing for the winter 2022 beijing olympic ;w; so proud of him

I don't even play Honkai Impact but I'm happy I found this song. It's beautiful.

OMG!!! Zhou Shen just confirmed the Children’s Chorus at the end also sang by himself right now on his Weibo account. 😱😱😱😱

This is sang by a singer called Zhou Shen with an angelic voice

This is the kind of song where you hear it once and think, that's a bit short, only to realize it's 3 and a half minutes minutes long. Then you think, screw it, I have to hear again. Then you basically repeat this process 10 times in a row before you realize you need to stop this and go to sleep.... And then you hear it in you dreams.

Idgaf if the singer is a male. Don’t discriminate just cuz his voice is feminine. He wants to sing, let him be. Doesnt matter how a persons voice sound. I see many here of the same opinion. Bless the honkai player base. For his voice is heavenly.

This song, it's prefect for Fu hua after everything she's been through.

It's like this: "Fu Hua: I'm home! Kiana: Welcome back!"

im still listening to this song, it saves my life. since i have no one to talk, just listening to the lyrics is enough to encourage me to keep going. i know it sounds weird, but the lyrics are extremely comforting for me. it feels like i finally have someone that truly understand my pain. whenever i had that thoughts of giving up, i listen to this song repeatedly. and now here i am, still breathing and alive. so i wanna say, thank you very much.

I've been playing this for days on a loudspeaker. Last night, I heard my mother sang this song and I am surprised that she actually memorized it. I thought I'm just hearing things but she sang it earlier once again.

"Rubia" means alizarin, the first red dye used by human beings, and it is also a traditional Chinese medicine to stop bleeding. The flower language is "the guardian of love, sharing pain". It can be said that the image of alizarin covers the color matching of Fu Hua dominated by red, the identity of Fu Hua as guardian of China, and the character of kindness, integrity and loyalty to the mission.

Do you know that angels don't have genders? Zhou's voice is like an angel's voice. So otherworldly, so beautiful like an angel who don't follow a basic gender rule.

I feel like this song really brought tears to my eyes, plus the Fu Hua scene, this is really a masterpiece

This guy has one of the best singing voices I've ever heard voice of an angel for sure

Zhou Shen never fails to impress with his angelic voice. This song is beautiful😭😭😭😭

I’m not crying, I’m just wiping the sweat from my eyes.

"The singer is a dude" Me *impressed* "The chorus is also his singing" Me *mega impressed*

Zhou Shen is my favorite singer. He has an angelic voice and a heart of gold. You will like him too if you really know him. He was bullied throughout his adolescence, now, he can finally sing on a big stage for millions of people. I am happy for him 😀

Rubia lyrics😍: Life blooms like a flower Far away or by the road Waiting for the one To find the way back home Rain falls a thousand times No footprints of come-and-go You who once went by Life blooms like a flower Where will you belong? I feel your sigh and breath In the last blow of wind Not yet for the story on the last page It's not the end Life blooms like a flower Far away or by the road Waiting for the one To find the way back home Time flows across the world There is always a longer way to go 'Til I reach your arms A madder there for you Up against the stream Waterways will join as one Tracing to the source No more strayed or lost You will see petals fly When lament becomes carol Could you please hear my voice That hungers for a duo? Life blooms like a flower Far away or by the road Waiting for the one To find the way back home Time flows across the world There is always a longer way to go 'Til I reach your arms A madder there for you Life blooms like a flower Far away or by the road Waiting for the one To find the way back home Time flows across the world There is always a longer way to go 'Til I reach your arms A madder there for you

The singer, Zhou Shen, is famous for his special voice in China

Happy Birthday Zhou Shen 🥳 29/9/2021

I cant stop listening to this yet I dont even play Honkai. The song is just too beautiful

Ngl, they got me in the first half. But I'm thankful Fu Hua is alive.

In fact, Zhou Shen’s voice in higher register is falsetto, very intangible and beautiful falsetto, like Dimash or Vitas. As he‘s also a trained tenor, he‘s able to switch voices as he want. That’s why composers may like him more than a simple female singers. If u want to see more of Zhou Shen’s performance, I highly recommend “Yelang Disco” or “Dalabengba”.

this song has such an importance to me because it helped me cope with loss so much i remember it clear as today, lost my granny that raised me since i was a child around 2 days before this droped and the days that followed this song helped me accept the fact she was gone

I will made my mark here and come back 10-20 years later to prove that this song still my favorite and never get bored with it

No one is crying. We are all strong.

She did not die... Man I'm so happy they will be able to return home in the end!

I was today years old when I knew Zhou Shen sang this I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO THIS SONG FOR HALF A YEAR.

Came back from his cover on “Just Like Fire，” Still shocked by how he can sing like an angel and sing like the flames of fire！😮

2021 belongs to Zhou Shen :D

Someone : "Honkai always goes insane when putting their backsound" Its Amazing

they should do more collabs with zhou shen god i love his voice i originally had no interests in honkai, but hearing this song through an youtube ad hooked me up it just sounds like something you wanna hear, undoubtedly my fav song so far

Man... this song is tear jerking, I can feel the emotions rushing from his voice...

I'm here again because Zhou Shen said that the children's voice also sang by him too🤷‍♀️ start from 2:37

Genshin: funny, hunting, and smile forever Meanwhile, in honkai: we didn't do that here

[Chorus] Life blooms like a flower Far away or by the road Waiting for the one To find the way back home [Verse 1] Rain falls a thousand times No footprints of come-and-go You who once went by Where will you belong?

I've lost count on how many times i replayed this song.

I BELIEVE IN ZHOU SHEN SUPREMARCY!!!

It's angelic. There is sadness in his voice yet there is also hope. Charlie is such a talented singer. Thanks Honkai for inviting him as the singer of Rubia. It's a wonderful piece of art.

I dont play games, even dont really watch animated film, not a fan of OST music, but every time when I hear this angelic voice, tears in my eyes.

This song make me crying, and never skip this music video

Omg Zhou Shen???? He is one of my favourite Chinese singers 😱😱😱😱

Zhou Shen's voice is countertenor which is a popular voice in the west but not in the east. His comfortable range voice is from C3 - A5, but his range voice is from C3-C6. He studied Belcanto in Ukraine so he can sing many languages, many types in singing. I think it's normal that the male has this special voice as long as they sing with their whole heart, put emotions into the voice, make people feel the meaning of music 🎶

MiHoYo is genuinely smart to match this song with Zhou Shen, His voices fit with this one so well

I started to play this game because of this song. This song is so beautiful yet there's undertone of sadness in it. Playing this game has been the best decision I made this year. I hope this game continue to bloom as a beautiful flower

周深！！！Holy shit its Zhou Shen I- I DID NOT expect the singer to be him! His voice is absolutely amazing! Quite a pleasant surprise to hear him sing for HI

This is one of the few songs that gives me the feeling that everything will be ok despite of my whole world being destroyed

This song just brings me peace whenever I hear it Zhou Shen has such a versatile and unique voice…angelic even

When you know he's a guy he suddendly doesnt sound like girl anymore. Is it just me? (His voice is still the most Angelic i have ever heard so far)

It’s crazy a dude sung this.. and it sounds amazing

ZHOU SHEN! One of the absolute best singers in the entire world! Mihoyo please hire him for more songs going forward.

it's hard to believe but i found this gem through an Ad's, so glad that i searched it up.

Words cannot describe how unbelievably impressed I am of the singer. He has such a big range, extremely talented.

Zhou Shen!!! His voice combined with the animations and lyrics is pulling heartstrings and triggering many emotions, and I'm not just talking about the game's events. He said that "I hope my song will help project the feeling of Kiana's heartfelt voice to Fu Hua, so that from this moment, she won't ever be alone anymore" and I feel like he has achieved that and so much more. This is truly a beautiful and touching piece.

This soundtrack deserves: Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media, Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media and Best Song Written for Visual Media at the Grammy Awards. Zhou Shen should even win a Grammy. He deserves it!🏆❤

ANYONE LISTEN TO THIS SONG IN 2024?

Still hear this since song release!! So beautiful song Thank you Zhou Shen

fu hua: sacrifce herself again kiana:your not suffering on my watch

you can’t just hear this and not start to feel sad the lyrics and singers voice are in perfect harmony and that’s why music like this is so rare these days

I cried ._. Not only sheding some tears but litterally, I cried. I love so much kind of Phoenix story, then I followed Hua's chapter with my very heart content (Not that I didn't do it with other chapters, but this arc were on some whole different level). It broke my heart to see all of her comrades died yet she still alive like thousand of years enduring all of those pain (and 'forced' to seal those memories away). The way Hua were ready to sacrifice herself (despite being only a feather) to seal her real body (HoS) really hit my blind spot as a 'tough guy'. Even Moon Halo couldn't drain a sea of tear like Rubia did to me. Gonna smash this song/video for 2021 Nomination

The child’s voice in this song is also sung by Zhou Shen!

Zhou Shen is phenomenal. I always need tissues by me when I listen to his songs. He is a power house and is all I listen to now. His voice never fails to swoop me off my feet and decorate my day with rainbow and night with stars. He has come a long ways. It was not an easy journey for him because his voice is is atypical for a male but he sings better than most female singers. His voice is therapeutic - it calms me down when things go sideways for me.

When a Chinese company makes a better song than 80% of the English music industry

Here again after hearing Zhou Shen’s OST for Disney’s Luca

dude we a god damn anime of this game. I swear it would be one of the best animes with all the fight scenes all the twists and turns in this game. I swear though I didn't tear up

I hope this song is nominated in Grammy Awards.

Charlie's voice is just like a soothing pill that will take away all day stress and relief the anxiety at dark night…

I'm here for nostalgia because getting old sucks.

Not even playing honkai impact, but when the ad appears the song touches my heart and I just had to go here.

ZhouShen's voice has the power, the magic, like the paint drawing the world in different colors, and he drew the emotions by his voice and heart.

My bird actually did love the song, he started to get closer to my phone, mihoyo you're the best game company you deserve much more attention. You did AMAZING effort into the story, OST, CG, Models etc. A silent moment for those who didn't cry during this. Thank you miHoYo, we all appreciate your work 💞💞

Never played the game before, but after hearing this song, I'm thinking of playing it a bit
