He dedicated his sensational song "Dao Xiang" to the youngsters and encouraged them to have a positive attitude towards life. 

"You got to be strong....don't give up your dreams even when facing difficulties in life," Chou said. 

Ryan Shum, a young student who attended the concert, described it as an "awesome experience". 

The 19-year-old Shum said he was uplifted by Chou's music and inspirational message.
