If you can't hack the Hakka, no worries

The audiences who do not speak Hakka dialect may not understand the lyrics sung by Jiulian Zhenren, a three-piece rock band from Lianping county, Guangdong province, but that does not seem to stop them loving the group's music.

On June 1 when the band made its debut appearance on the reality show The Big Band, which celebrates China's indie music scene, it performed an original song titled Mo Qi Shao Nian Qiong, literally translated as "don't underestimate the youth around".

The song revolves around a father-and-son conversation. When the son, named Amin, tells his father that he wants to leave their small town and pursue big dreams in cities, the father is against the idea and does not think his son can make it.
