2023-12-06

"I pray for a transparent heart and tearful eyes..." Baligasima Patrick, an international student from Uganda, once sang this song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" at a university cultural festival. His deep magnetic voice and standard Chinese pronunciation left a deep impression on the audience present. Nowadays, Bali excels in various fields such as music, social welfare, and international exchanges. He is not only a doctoral student in civil engineering at Guangzhou University, but also a professional musician who has released multiple music videos; He supported the lives and studies of 23 children without seeking anything in return, and tirelessly ran on the front lines of international exchanges... While shining on himself, Bali also illuminated the future path of others and awakened more "stars" to co create the Milky Way with him. Baligasima Patrick, a Ugandan international student studying in China, is obsessed with music and has become a shining star. "Music is the spokesperson for the silent," he said throughout his music career. He hopes to express indescribable emotions and attitudes through music and speak up for vulnerable groups in society. In his heart, music can express the voices of thousands of people in just a few minutes and convey love to others in the simplest and most simple way. Bali has been fond of music since childhood and often comforts the hearts of listeners with warm child voices on school and church stages. Later, with the accumulation of music theory knowledge, performance experience, and life experience, he was no longer satisfied with singing other people's songs. Instead, he hoped to express his attitude towards life, explore valuable social issues, and tell the story of great love in the world through music. So he started writing his own lyrics and composition, formed a team to release singles, produced music videos, and gradually developed into a well-known original musician in Uganda. He also won many music professional awards. For Bali, these awards not only affirm his professional abilities, but also constantly encourage him to persist in his beloved career. "The music also connects me and the Chinese people's hearts," Bali shared with a reporter from Xinhua News Agency with a smile. When Bali first arrived in China, he pursued a master's degree in Shenyang, one of the four major friendly cities between China and Ukraine, and has repeatedly appeared on the stage of major universities in the north, making many like-minded friends. In June 2019, OPPO, one of China's largest smartphone companies, also sent him a performance invitation. This experience made Bali very proud: "I am very happy that my Chinese friends can recognize my music. Everyone has downloaded the songs I sing on various apps, which has moved me deeply." The enthusiasm of the Chinese people has made Bali, who is living in a foreign land, feel a deep sense of belonging. The friends I made in China have become indispensable family members in my life, which is the wonder of music. Chinese culture has also brought unprecedented music inspiration to Bali. "I really like Chinese music, its melodious melody and elegant lyrics greatly enrich people's artistic feelings," Bali said enthusiastically while humming several classic Chinese songs. Music is a country
