希望讓這世界靜止
xīwàng ràng zhè shìjiè jìngzhǐ
I hope the time would stop
想念才不會變得奢侈
xiǎngniàn cái bù huì biàn dé shēchǐ
So I have more time to miss you
如果有下次我會再愛一次
rúguǒ yǒu xià cì wǒ huì zài ài yīcì
If I have another chance, I will surely love again
刻在我心底的名字
kè zài wǒ xīndǐ de míngzì
Your name engraved herein

    Hello,

    Heard this song while I was in Beijing last week. Trying to find out what it was. Tried Shazzam with no luck. Not sure how else to find it. Anyone heard it before? Not sure if it's C-pop or what. Link below to some video we captured while it was playing.

    Thank you so much for this list! Not only it's full of great songs to listen to, it's always keep updating! which is great, but there are so many amazing songs that used to be on this list and are now nowhere to be seen (for example Joker Xue's Actress, A-Mei's Full Name , Eason Chan's Let Me Stay By Your Side, Li Yu Gang etc...), do you think you can separate the list according to years? that way there'll be a list for each year which will make it easier to follow:)
    Thank you so much:)
