Singer Kit Chan Is Now Saying To #CallMeFarmerKit
"I believe that life and work are seasonal. Endless work is against the law of nature."
In past interviews, local singer Kit Chan once declared that she hopes to be like a farmer, who "works according to the seasons". It seems she's now made this a reality – with a little twist.
On Tuesday (Aug 3), she posted three photos on Weibo of her growing vegetables, as she wrote in Chinese: "Someone once said that I was a 'farmer singer' as I believe that life and work are seasonal. Endless work is against the law of nature. How apt that I am now trying to be a farmer. It may be hard work, but it's very satisfying."
The 48-year-old added: "Watching the seedlings grow until they are harvested - this process brings up hope and let us feel deeply the tenacity of life."
She ended the post by saying: "Let us embrace every day with hope despite the adversity in life."
In English, she wrote: "I harvested 10kg of kale with another volunteer at the farm in one morning! Who says I'm just a diva? I'm a flexible girl!
"And did I tell you that farming gives me such a buzz, in that nice hippie peaceful way?"
She used the hashtags #KitOffDuty, #NotJustADiva, #CallMeFarmerKit, #DivaFarmer and #FarmerSinger.
Chan, who is known for the classic National Day song Home and songs such as Heartache and Worries, launched her new single See You Around just last month.
