福鼎 中国西南部城市成都的有关部门周二对一名女歌手破例免于处罚，此前她在周末的一场演唱会上擅自将一首未经批准的歌曲加入歌单，这再次引发了人们对中国收紧娱乐业管控的关注。
FU TING Authorities in the southwestern Chinese city of Chengdu granted a rare exemption to a singer on Tuesday after she added an unapproved song to her set list at a weekend concert, drawing renewed attention to China’s tightening controls on entertainment.
包括歌曲和单口喜剧剧本在内的现场演出内容必须事先获得地方当局的批准，这是一项长期存在的规定，反映了中国对娱乐行业的严格审查。违反规定的艺术家可能会被罚款、禁止未来演出，甚至被禁止公开露面。
Content used in live performances, including songs and stand-up comedy scripts, must be approved in advance by local authorities, a long-standing requirement that reflects China’s strict censorship of the entertainment industry. Artists who violate the rules can be fined or banned from future performances and even public appearances.
成都市文化广电旅游局在一份声明中表示，歌手那英的表演“是在与观众互动环节中的短暂、片段式演唱，并非完整演绎该歌曲”，因此无需进行额外审批。
Singer Na Ying’s performance was “a brief, fragmentary performance during an audience interaction segment rather than a full rendition of the song” and therefore did not require additional approval, the Chengdu Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism said in a statement.
那英是中国最具影响力的女歌手之一，周六她在成都的演唱会上演唱了《弯弯的月亮》，以此悼念她的朋友、于前一天去世的知名歌手刘欢。
Na, one of China’s most influential female singers, performed “Curved Moon” at her concert in Chengdu on Saturday in memory of her friend and singer Liu Huan, a household name who died the previous day.
据社交媒体上发布的视频显示，身穿黑衣的那英对观众说：“我想在这个舞台上唱一首他以前唱过的歌，向他致敬。”她唱歌时声音颤抖。
“I want to sing a song he sang before on this stage, to pay tribute to him,” Na, dressed in black, told the audience, according to videos posted on social media. Her voice trembled as she sang.
一些网友将这场表演称为“代价高昂的致敬”，他们在表达对那英赞赏的同时，也担心她可能会遭到罚款。
Some commenters called the performance an “expensive tribute,” expressing admiration for Na while also voicing concerns that she could be fined.
根据对外经济贸易大学周日发布的讣告，近四十年来中国最知名的音乐人之一刘欢于周五去世，享年63岁。刘欢是一名音乐史教授，在该校任教三十多年后退休。
Liu, one of China’s best-known musicians for nearly four decades, died Friday at age 63, according to an obituary published Sunday by the University of International Business and Economics. A professor of music history, Liu taught at the university for more than three decades before retiring.
刘欢曾在2008年北京奥运会开幕式上与女高音歌唱家莎拉·布莱曼共同演唱了主题曲。
Liu performed the theme song for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games with soprano Sarah Brightman during the opening ceremony.
布莱曼周日在Facebook和X上发文称，刘欢“是一位了不起的天才和真正的绅士”，并表示“人们会深深怀念他”。
Brightman called Liu “an amazing talent and a true gentleman” and said he “will be greatly missed” in posts on Facebook and X on Sunday.
成都的这一决定，是在中国中部城市武汉的有关部门因一位该国知名喜剧演员在演出中篡改爱国歌曲歌词而对其进行罚款数周之后作出的。
The Chengdu decision came weeks after authorities in the central Chinese city of Wuhan fined one of the country’s best-known comedians for changing the lyrics of a patriotic song during a performance.
